X Border Shipping
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 9:50 am
Jeffrey made a post the other day about his IRS # being on the package he
received from MAM.
Sorry guys but this is a fact of life for anything going by truck or courier
from Canada to the USA (only method avoiding this so far is the Post
Office). Don't flame us for it as we can't put anything on a truck without
this # filled out on the customs papers/NAFTA form and commercial invoice
thanks to your friggin Homeland Security department that wants to share your
information with anyone working the border, driving the truck, brokering
your shipment etc....and if you as a whole were smart you'd start lobbying
your government to stop this blatent gift to scammers and identity theives.
Just think...they have your whole address, phone number generally for
contact on large shipments and now your Social Security # to boot!
If you can find a business that's willing to let you use their tax # instead
of putting your SS# on the package and ship C/O the business I'd do so.
Cheers,
Wayne
