Forwarding Shipments from U.S.

There seem to be several companies (like MyUS.com) which provide a U.S. address to which packages can be shipped and then forward the package to a Canadian address. Have folks had experience with these companies and are there any that they would recommend? Unfortunately there are lot of auto supplies/parts companies in the U.S. that will not shipto Canada. Thanks for your help.

What we do here in Ottawa, is that we have our packages shipped to a US UPS store which is close to the border. We then cross to the US, pick the package up and go through through customs with our shipment.

This is by far the cheapest way, particularly given shipping costs to Canada.

Unfortunately the closest one to your location seems to be the one in Calais, ME.
According to google it's a 4hr drive from Wolfville.

Four hours is optimistic - pretty much flying. But the wheels from Tischer are about 1/2 the price of the wheels from the dealership. The trip would probably be worth it.
