Don't know about forwarders, but I use a mail holding service in Michigan.
I ship it to them and pay them x amount of dollars (based on letter or package), and they'll email me when it's in.
Not sure how much I'd trust forwarders, as that's a 2 step process and what if a product is damaged, could be well past a return timeframe.

US Parcel Pickup in Port Huron.
Very easy to get to from the bridge - and highly recommend them. Using them for a few years now.

Just got back from wal mart at Morningside and Shepard. They had basic series 27. Grabbed sandow and slater. Unfortunately someone beat me to tensai. If anyone wants there are a few mysterios, r truths and sin caras left.

tho i havent in a while, i get stuff shipped to niagara falls and then go pick it up.. havent done it in a year or so... but whenever i know im gonna do a niagara trip with my buddies (usually know a month in advance).. i think look to purchase big items from ebay that only ship to USA...
the place i use is less than 5 minutes across the peace bridge.. and it costs $4 per package.. weight is no matter.. and they call u when it arrives.. solid service... tho u can only go when its open to pick up stuff.. mon-fri 8-5pm and i think sat 8-12pm..
on side note.. went to two value villages and one goodwill on my way home from work.. no wrestling items found...

I actually found out I can have it sent to the ferry company in Sombra. Only costs $5 and you can pick things up 7 days a week, 7-10 pm. Only catch is that you'd have to wait for the ferry to bring it over for you. Still, for as often as I'd use the service, it's a great alternative!

I found a Tensai and Slater at wal mart and bought them, it's been awhile so I figured why not, especially since they are kinda cheap now.

Picked up Tensai at Bayview/7 WM this morning. They had everyone in the set though I didn't check how many of each. I know there were 2 Tensai since I was choosing the better paint job of the two. Wandered the store to do my other shopping and later spotted someone looking at the WWE figures when passing by. He had a Tensai + another I couldn't see in his hands. Don't think there are any Tensai left now.

went to one value village today at lunch time near my work...
my luck, they had 12 WWE DVDs - 10 PPVs from 2005 and 2 compilation DVDs...
also, today only at value village, they had a deal of buy 1 item get one free, for items $10 or less for card members (signed up today, took 2 min)...
they r suppose to only allow it one per person, but the cashier was nice and she did it for me for all of them.. so i did 6 transactions....
ended up getting the 12 WWE DVDs for $2 each..pretty good

Only catch is that you'd have to wait for the ferry to bring it over for you. Still, for as often as I'd use the service, it's a great alternative! The thing with this is you have to bring proof (email/order page) and if there is no tracking, you won't know when it's there. I'd rather just go to Sarnia (even though that Ferry is about 15-20 minutes from my door), and utilize the US Parcel Pickup services. The service I use, they'll email you when it's in. If you're in the USA for a few hours and a small order, the likelihood of getting ding'd for tax/duty is minimal. but if you're just waiting for this you may open yourself up to taxes because it's not a 'day trip'. I normally get groceries and pick up mail every few weeks. Groceries (and fuel) more than pay for the trip every time. Milk is $2.49/gallon (sometimes 1.99) and Eggs can be had for $1/dozen (shop Meijer and Kroger flyers and get the Kroger card). My mom and aunt went last year, and between the two, spent $100 for an overflowing cart full of stuff at Meijer and a few items at Big Lots.

Yeah, I think I'm going to look into your way for the future for sure. I don't have a passport so I can't cross the border and fortunately for me, the item I'm getting was shipped UPS so it was easily tracked so I know for sure when it's at the ferry. I just thought I'd try this one time to see how it goes. I picked a bad time for it though as the ferry has been shut down all week. Boooo!

How far away are you from Sombra? Get a passport (or at least wait til the 10 year passports come out - worthwhile getting).
