NOTICE: Pickup Locations Temporarily Closed

Due to the recent decision by both the US and Canadian Governments to close the border to non-essential travel, pickups from our Ogdensburg NY & Prescott ON MyUSaddress.ca locations will be suspended until further notice. At this time we are still able to process Push It North requests to have us customs clear and ship your goods to your door, but please expect delays in processing time due to increased volume. Thank you for your understanding.

We are a warehousing facility with loading docks that are 5 feet off the ground. When retrieving over-sized items, please ensure you have an adequate vehicle for loading. We ask that you notify us when placing orders for shipments weighing more than 150lbs.

Canadian customers who pick up their packages from our US warehouse assume full responsibility for transporting items across the US/Canada border. This includes paying any applicable duty and/or taxes.

How do I have my packages cleared and forwarded into Canada?

MyUSaddress.ca offers our exclusive Push-it-NorthSM service to get your packages forwarded across the Canadian-USA border. Here’s how it works:

  • Shop online and ship to your FREE US address located in Ogdensburg, NY, USA.
  • Once notified that your package has arrived in Ogdensburg, NY, log into your account and specify that we Push It NorthSM.
  • Within 3 business days, we proceed to clear and transport your package to our Prescott, Ontario, Canada warehouse for processing.

Depending on your Push-it-NorthSM  instructions, your package can either be picked up in Prescott or we deliver your package to your location using the most economical carrier available for your destination.

Our experienced customs experts can help your goods clear quickly and efficiently with our electronic customs-clearance network. We take advantage of the latest customs release initiatives and reviewing your goods to make sure they comply with product-specific regulations.

Push-it-NorthSM customs clearance fees are currently $29 per order. If numerous items are ordered from one online store, they are considered one order and, thus, we will only charge you one $29 fee!

We ship to your location from our Prescott ON warehouse. Intra-Canada shipping is handled by the most economical carrier available. Occasionally, multi-package consolidation may save on shipping fees. Consolidation fees are applied at $2.00/carton.

MyUSaddress can only ship prepaid in order to protect against chargebacks from consignees that refuse freight charges.

What does it cost to have my packages cleared and forwarded into Canada through our Push It North service?

To have items forwarded to Canada, you will be charged a brokerage fee of $29.00.
In addition, taxes (13%) and any applicable duty which is determined by Canada Customs will be applied.

In order to retrieve your packages, customers should bring picture identification and cash payment (Canadian or US funds, please refer to the "What are your receiving fees?" section above for amounts in your preferred currency). If someone is retrieving packages on your behalf, please ensure they bring picture identification and a copy of the “Package Claim Receipt” which can be printed or emailed from your account.

Canadian customers who pick up their packages assume full responsibility for transporting items across the border. This includes paying any applicable duty and/or taxes. All fees may be paid in either Canadian/US currency and we accept cash, credit card (Visa, MasterCard) and debit payments.

What if I can’t make it to pick up my package. Can I send someone else to pick up my package on my behalf?

Yes, if you are unable to pickup your package you can have someone else pickup your package on your behalf. They must have picture ID and a printed copy of the “Package Claim Receipt”. To obtain a “Package Claim Receipt”, users must log into their account and select the “View” button next to the package. “Package Claim Receipts” can be printed or the receipt can be emailed to someone so they can print it.

What happens to a package that gets shipped to your location without referencing my unit number?

When packages arrive at our location, we immediately log the package using your unit number. If a unit number cannot be found, we search our database for your name. This in turn provides us with your unit number which then allows us to properly log your package.

What happens to a package that gets shipped to your location without a name or unit number?

Packages that arrive at our location without any form of indentification are logged as “Unknown”. To claim “Unknown” packages, users will need to provide documentation that proves ownership such as tracking numbers and/or receipts.

Can I ship anything I want to my US address with MyUSaddress.ca?

No, please check our list of prohibited items before shipping items to our location.

Why do I have to notify MyUSaddress.ca before shipping over-sized items?

We are a warehousing facility with loading docks that are 5 feet off the ground. As such, we are unable to “drop” over-sized items into low passenger vehicles, trucks or low trailers. When retrieving over-sized items, please ensure you have an adequate vehicle for loading. Also note that the retrieval of over-sized items is limited to weekdays only.

On occasion, shippers require a phone number at the destination address. What phone number should I use?

MyUSaddress.ca customers should use 1-800-320-3014 when asked to specify a telephone number at the destination address.

What happens to packages that are damaged during shipping to your warehouse?

Damaged packages that arrive at our location are immediately logged and flagged as “Damaged”. It is your responsibility to pickup your package and inspect the contents. If the contents are damaged, we can facilitate the package return. You can review the state of your packages by accessing your account.
