So far we have locations in (listed from East to West):

  • Pembina, North Dakota

So what do you do when you’re looking for a US shipping address using Kinek.com and the area you’re interested in doesn’t have a Kinek Point? Well, you can browse the map to see if there is a Kinek Point border location somewhere nearby, but what do you do when even that doesn’t work?

We here at Kinek are are pretty committed to making cross border shopping as easy as possible for Canadians and we believe that the more Kinek Points there are, the easier it is for you guys to get your shopping done. This is where we could use your help. If you’ve used our map/search tool over at Kinek.com and you didn’t find a convenient Kinek Point near you, then you can suggest that area to us.

You can do this really easily. If no Kinek Points show up on our handy map, then it will automatically display a short form that allows you to request a Kinek Point be set up there. You can even put in your email address so we can notify you once we have a location set up.

We’ve been getting tons of recommendations from our users and readers of Ship to the Border, and we’re working hard on to set up a location everywhere we get a request!

Cheers,

– Ship to the Border Team

    How about Sweetgrass, Montana? You have any idea of the 1.5 million plus market nearby (e.g. Calgary and Lethbridge)?

      Hi Ed!
      Thanks for your recommendation! We’re happy to announce a border KinekPoint to be your US address in Sunburst, Montana. It’s just a short drive from the border and very near Sweetgrass.

          Hi Cameron,

          We apologize but we currently do not have any closer KinekPoints to the border for you than Great Falls.

    Niagara Falls.

    Most Canadians already cross there for shopping at the outlet malls, would be great if there was a pickup point there as well

      Hi Francesco,

      We actually have two locations in the Niagara Falls area. One is called Disc and Belleville which is right in Niagara Falls, and we also have partnered with a UPS Store in Lewiston. Simply sign up for the Kinek service to view all of our locations on a convenient map.

    Were you able to set up a location in Massena, NY? That would make it closer at the Cornwall, ON crossing.
    Thanks.

    Pembina, North Dakota.

    Right by the border, close to Winnipeg.

    Hey when are you guys going to get a location near Saskatchewan?! It’s the only province you don’t service that has an active border…it’d be a win win I’m sure with many people eager to take advantage here.

      Hi Paul,

      If you know of any credible businesses south of Saskatchewan please feel free to suggest a location.
