Pick up items 24/7 is something new

promotion for 1.00 till dec

3 bucks is a fair price just have to make sure you pick you stuff up before 7 days

And the great thing as well SMS/ email notification free with / no annual fee account

That's not too bad.

But the 7 day pick up rule is a tough one - for me anyway. Sometimes I can't get out to my Blaine PO for 3 weeks at a time, and even though they tell me they'll charge after two weeks of storage - they never do.

[camshaft]

Yes exactly repete
For me it allows pickup when I get gas at 1030-11pm when traffic is none existent.
And the email SMS message about package is pretty handy for packages with our tracking.

It's great to hear it is available 24/7,it will be nice to just drive down and pick up the shipment without wait. I believe it's not only because a lot of Canadians are getting their items shipped to the states, but the police department is right across from them too.

Just wanted to give a on hands review....

Shipped 6 packages to 24/7 , received instant SMS message and email for each package that they arrived...
Called 24/7 about a package size on local 778 number no long distance fees
Went down and when the box is opened I received a SMS and email my package has been picked up.

Very impressed overall and they managed to fit an subaru axle shaft box into one of the storage boxes.

[RePete]

Yeah, I'll probably be switching over next time I'm down. My P.O. was closed last Monday, tired of that mom & pop stuff. There wasn't even a U.S. holiday AFAIK.

[macatak]

they take both the US and Canadian holidays

I have been getting my parts shipped to Hagen's of Blaine, but I recently signed up for this friendly postal service. I just came back from the states, no border waiting times!

You receive a pin on your email (as well as a text if select the option) once your package arrives.
You enter the pin when you're at the main door to get in. Then you punch in the same pin inside the building and you will see a compartment pop it's door open with your delivery inside.

It's a nice system, however, beware because it feels like you're up to nothing but a break and enter though while entering the pin to get in at midnight.

Oh...and FYI, for those of you who go to the Peace Arch or Pacific X border, surprisingly the Shell nearby on 360 D Street has the cheapest gas 99.9% of the time.

Yup, I've been going to this 24/7 place for a while now, and I always fill up at the Shell on D street. The Tank'n'tote across the street is slightly cheaper still, but I always feel weary about buying gas from some little no-name store.

[camshaft]

Awesome place, and great owners and staff. Numerous thoughtful customer options like toll free number and the 24/7 hours.

I keep hearing the nightmare stores of the other places. Yearly membership? Shitty hours?

[immorality]

A little while ago I had a large package arrive there that I hadn't picked up yet. I get an email saying that they would have extra staffed hours one morning, but the email came at the same time as they had the extra hours started. By the time I read it, the hours had just finished, so I emailed and said that it was a shame that I missed the opening and would have gone down there if I'd known earlier and asked if they would do this regularly. Within about 5 minutes I had a phone call and they said, oh we are just doing some renovations and painting, but if I wanted to come down now that they would wait for me. So I did, great friendly service!

[RePete]

Makes me wonder if I should switch. But truthfully, I've been going to the same place for probably 16 years now and I don't have any issues except that they close for both Canada and US holidays - that's truly a bummer, but I've managed to work around it over the years.

As for gas, if you go one or two exits past Bellingham, they're usually cheaper than pretty much everyone else around there. Bellingham and Blaine's prices are geared for Canadian tourists, a bit further and you get regular America prices - as in lower.

[macatak]

if you take the first Ferndale exit and go left under the freeway the Shell is usually a bit cheaper.
