Well, that’s what the transport company requires. I’m guessing they’re brokering each package themselves, not as the entire lot at once.

I doubt US is letting them bring truckloads in if what I said about tariffs/taxes/duties is untrue.

No minimum away-from-country time. That's for Canadians, not USians.

Sounds like the next thing for big VCs to fund. It used to be that going somewhere with strangers you met online was feared, then came Uber. Couch surfing? AirBnB. Next, getting packages around customs, tariffs, and expensive shipping by crowd sourcing? Bam! VC Unicorn.
