Default Can anyone in Boston receive a package for a Canadian?

Hi guys - I'll be travelling to Boston on April 14th -16th and wonder if anyone could receive a package for me before hand and meet up for a hand off while I'm in town.

Why? Crutchfield won't ship to Canada!

We could meet for a beer (on me!) on the Wed night if that works out.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Did you try crutchfield.ca? I got what I needed from there and it was actually cheaper than the US site...and it included free shipping and all the extra stuff (like dash facia, harness adapters, etc).

I'd be happy to use the Canadian site - but they don't carry Focal Speakers - so I can't.

Thanks for the tip though - was happy to check out thier stuff - but the selection appears to be a mere fraction of the US site.

And of course with the great exchange rate over the last few weeks, it is time for Canadian P-car people to raid the US market for cars and parts. USA, here we come, wallets open . . .

RK:
I have an office in Brockton (about 20 miles outside Boston) that would gladly accept the package and hold it for you for pickup. Only issue would be that you would need to pick it up during the day (I think they work 7:30am to 4:00pm). Let me know if you want to go this route and we can co-ordinate it. Hopefully we can get the Toronto area 964's together for another run this spring!

RK - I'm a bit busy this week, but I'm pretty close to the city - around North Cambridge (short walk to the redline / subway Alewife station). Though depending on where you'll be, Brockton could be closer.

Let me know if I can help - I'll keep an eye out for a rennlist pm.

Cool - thanks guys - I'll try to coordinate shortly - hugely appreciated. I'll be at an crucial trade show - so not sure I can travel out of the city during the day. Will try to figure something out.

And YES - need to get the TO 964's together soon!

Okay - Porters INSANE pricing means I have to travel to Boston a day earlier than I'd planned - giving me time to make a little road trip to the outskirts, if required.

I don't really know the area at all - so of the two very kind offers to help so far - which is easier for me to travel to on a Wednesday?

Thanks again!

I'm not sure which is closer. If you want to mapquest my office location, it is 16 Jonathan Drive, Brockton, MA. I know it takes about 1/2hr drive from the airport.
Nick is from the area so I suspect he will know better which location is going to be more convenient for you.
