I never need to sign any form when I get package from Point Roberts. The shipping method the seller use is USPS.

Well...depends on "luck" I guess...the most expensive package I pick up is $150US. 2 people in the car...never taxed...
But even tax..my stuff would be only GST PST...coz they are made in US!

Strange to hear that USPS will pass the parcel on to TSB without the authorization form being signed since the TSB staff specifically told me that they couldn't accept USPS stuff unless I signed the form.

I suppose the policy is still technically in place, but at the execution level, people stopped bothering with it anymore.

I am thinking it's because it's so 'obvious' that buyers are using a USA address to receive their packages and I guess USPS can tell =P

    well, mine's going to be 184.84 USD worth of stuff =) I don't even really mind if they end up taxing me because it's still much much cheaper to buy it online! =)

    I guess depend on the shipping method? If it's like UPS/Fed Ex shipping then the person is supposed to "sign". So you need to authorize the post office to colllect your stuff?
But my seller is using USPS...so less restriction I guess.

With UPS, they leave my package outside of the house and go..... no signatures required

I bought a portable propane BBQ, cost USD$190 and I am prepared to get taxed when I pick it up at Point Roberts.

I go there all the time, I wouldn't want to save a few $$$ and mess up my clean record to the US.

You can ship stuff to The Letter Carrier and you never have to register or authorize them.

Yeah...I show the receipt to custom every time. Not worth to mess up with custom...

Rainy

Yea, i show my receipts every time and they just let me go.
