Help! How can I get my wheels?!

aaronding · 06-07-2008, 05:51 PM

Please bear my poor English.

I ordered a set of wheels from Tire Rack and had them shipped to an installer in Buffalo. Now I have a HUGE problem. I was refused to enter the US this morning because my passport was not valid for six months. (It will expire on Dec. 1st, only 5 months and 23 days from now, so close

) I have to apply for a new passport but it takes a long time.

Any ideas? thank you guys.

Why did you get them shipped to Buffalo? You still have to pay PST, GST and duty (if applicable) when you cross the border anyway. Trying to pull a fast one on the government? Karma's a bitch. But to answer your question, there's no other choice but to get a passport or send someone to get them for you..

you can still enter the US by land without a passport, I go with my driver's license and my Canadian citizenship card, i get in fine, they don't care if you have a passport or not as long as you have the other proper documents

just don't an idiot by showing up at the border with a Sears card and a library card, you will be sent and jailed at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba

When was the last times you went to the states? I'm pretty sure that you need a passport nowadays.

I'm not a Canadian citizen, just a resident, so I need a passport, VISA, I94, fingerprints, photos...
