One guy schedules a trip every couple of months and the others work / order to meet their schedule.

As much as I want to pile onto the OP and say "well, I'd say that massive order is a reason to head down", I've had people pick stuff up for me and I've gone down to get stuff for people on my runs.

No issue with it, OP isn't asking for someone to go specifically. Get the receipt, tear open the boxes on your own before crossing the border. As hilarious as CC's drug mule post is, it's pretty easy to avoid.

If it were ski season I'd be all over offering my services.

Thanks guys - I see I am not the only guy who frequent's beyond and thought this was a common occurrence... Sorry that I upset so many people for whom this concept was rather foreign. Was just wondering if anyone was already heading down to grab some stuff and wanted to piggy back on the trip and help defray costs...Rather common in the tuner circle for guys to trip-share like this for trips to pickup tires, rims, etc....

Hey if you wind up going yourself, will you pick up your max allowance in Kona Big Wave for me?? Since you're down there anyways, and all.

Could you also bring back some pizza from jersey boys in whitefish and some strawberry oreo's from Safeway.

I saw that sobey's had cheery coke so I am all good there thanks

Anyone tried these guys?
Their rates seem pretty good, if I'm reading the table right.

I usually ship a bunch of stuff at once to make the trip worth the drive, unless I plan to drive through anyways (Eureka to Montana).

Pretty good? They seem amazing! Definitely going to give them a try, I've been wanting to get some of this stuff https://www.buypollentec.com/en/prod...entec-rolls-2/

Yeah this isn't really that big of a deal, like others have said guys do it on Beyond all the time, including myself. Last time I was going down there I made a post asking if anyone needed anything picked up. They gave me some gas money for my troubles, easy as pie. Just make sure you crack open each box to make sure what's supposed to be in there is actually what's in there, be honest at the border, and you're good to go.

Just keep in mind it's illegal to profit off importing stuff for other people so you can't have people pay you for the service. Last time I did it though I just asked for gas money and for the one extra hour I spend loading boxes, I essentially drove to Montana and back for free. Not a bad deal.

But hey, why should CPers ever help each other out, right?

OP, keep an eye on Beyond. I'm not planning on going down until the fall myself, but spikers goes like twice a year usually.
