In/Out is automated and has better hours
P2P is easy walking distance if the car lineup to cross is too long
Shell station also does it… any of them are fine

thanks........ | Me neither. But I signed up for In Out as I used to use the letter carrier which was in the same location. 24/7 pickup is pretty sweet that 5d doesn't offer.

How's the traffic? Line up wise. Weekday.
And border crossing is open 24/7, Im assuming.

So, is anyone still crossing given the 24hr exemption for BC residents?
After the roll-back to the 72hr PCR test exemption, I'm just wondering if the people at CBSA are up to date with the latest exemption ruling given how fucked up it was when the BC exemption was first introduced.
I still see the exemption on Canada.ca and see you guys here crossing still. https://www.canada.ca/en/border-serv...-columbia.html
I'm just curious what's the case in a practical sense? Any precaution when doing it? Like, any part of the ArriveCan app that one needs to pay special attention to?
Edit: I saw the experience shared by Skunkworks, just wanted to see if anyone else did it with the Mainland crossing (Peace Arch/Pac HWY)?

The mainland one is discretionary based on whether you needed to get supplies. I honestly wouldn’t try it.

Does anyone notice that their favourite US online vendor is now charging WA tax even if they're not based in the state?
Just noticed it'd be more economical for some of my part orders to pay the international shipping + GST/PST than it is to ship to PR, pay WA tax, and then likely be taxed for the entire amount again when crossing.
Granted its been a few years since I ordered stuff down there but I was never charged state tax previously unless if the vendor was in WA.

Yea, it started a few years before COVID. I got charged sales tax on a used item from eBay. I'm selective at check out to see who doesn't charge it. Or I just order and ship from China direct to Canada if I'm not in a rush for it.

Explains it. Haven't ordered much stateside as I haven't been close enough to the border last few years. Quote:

It mainly affects big retailers who have a quasi-national presence or do enough business in all 50 states.
The key now is to buy from small local mom'n'pop shop out of state to ship to WA tax free.

Is the Point Roberts crossing still allowing vaccinated Canadians to cross with no testing requirements?

Has anybody else crossed at Point Roberts lately? On the arrivecan app Point Roberts/Boundary Bay isn't even listed. Do you not have to fill out Arrivecan prior to return?
Also 2 astrazenaca shots plus a moderna booster, that should be ok?

Have you been across the border lately?

Can confirm, just crossed at Point Roberts. All that's required is double vaccination and to have ArriveCan filled out.
