Cross border shopping help?
I am arranging for a replacement motor to be shipped from Texas. The difference between shipping to NY and shipping to Mtl is substantial. Does someone here have experience shipping to the border? Is there a preferred receiver? Also, any suggestions on how I might pick it up (rent a truck or have someone get it for me)?
Thanks for any info!

Check Kinek.com
Organization that gathers all border holding services.
This is what I use. It's also pacifies nervous US sellers that are transacting with apparent suspicious French named chaps out of foreign lands with colorful plasticized currency like "Canadia", because the website brings credibility.
There are outlets all along the border. Montrealers served out of Champlain or Cornwall.

I have a set of lift bars for my 996 on their way to Kinek in Champlain. I will let you know how this works out... u haul closed trailer is probably best so you can bring your engine lift to load on i , assuming your car has a hitch of course.. and time to drop by to Harborfreight in Plattsburgh should you need any tools (I plan to get the 1000lbs lift table to lower my engine)
make sure your paper work is in order for customs...

Man, I’ve been wanting a set of lift bars for a while. Santa never came through!
The engine is being shipped to Freeport Forwarding. My friend Bruno has offered to help me with his pickup truck.
Thanks to everyone for the info.

Assume you are on a US driving licence as well as being a resident of US. If you are a US citizen then you will need to be essential to cross the border. If you are Canadian you will be allowed but must quarantine for 14 days. I imagine you have checked this out.
