Letter Carrier is closing recommend, cheaper, service

fibbi

Now that The Letter Carrier in Point Roberts is closing at the end of August. Where else would you recommend? Is Point to Point ok? The service fee is cheaper than TSB...

Quest

I know TSB is a bit costly, but they are still on my preferred list RE: shipping to pt Roberts.

Some folks already resorted to using those just across from Blaine, but I do not like crossing that border for the likeliness of being tax'ed or unnecessary retention (interrogation) is high..



Q.

I have used Point to Point a few times
no issue at all

but I wonder why Letter carrier is closing @@?

Blaine is too far away...for me...
I registered Point to Point, but they require "middle name" but I don't often use my middle name in shipping label...kinda troublesome. And not everyone has a middle name too..

@嘉嘉, according to the staff, there's a new owner who purchased that building, and force them out and will open a new business there...

I use TSB as well.

I don't think I entered my middle name....maybe they changed their system cuz they want each names to be "unique"

maybe just put your chinese name for middle? that's what I do when I am asked to enter my middle name

huh!!!!? there is so much land in point roberts! why they specifically want that building!! maybe there is gold underneath the ground?

Not sure, but maybe it's hard to find another existing commercial building that can be used for this type of business? Otherwise Letter Carrier doesn't have to search location in Blaine instead...

My past record of getting taxed thru Pt. Robert was worse than Blaine.  I haven't been to Pt. Robert after I had my Nexus 2-3 yrs ago.

I used TSB before and experience wasn't good.  One time they asked me to pick up a package which had the same name as mine.  I wonder how many mistakes they made before, and that's probably why they ask for people's middle name.

Their web site shows the building is deteriorating and the landlord is not willing to fix it.

You can ship to Shell station, McFrugal and Point 2 Poitn.
