BorderBuddy Canada Duty Paid

This is a fantastic app. We struggled for years trying to find a way to minimize the high brokerage rates and import fees charged by the major freight carriers. We tried negotiating with the carriers but that did not yield the desired results. We sell business to business, so many of our customers are used to the high fees but we still got complaints from a few angry customers. When I found BorderBuddy I was skeptical and thought there must be a catch. I was able to talk to a member of the BorderBuddy team. He was friendly, helpful and responsive. The process of adding the app to our website was quick and easy with no glitches. We immediately started seeing results. The documentation we receive to process our shipments to Canada is perfect. In the beginning, I checked every order to see if there were any extra fees included. The fees charged were exactly as expected and the shipping rates were even less than offered without BorderBuddy. After adding BorderBuddy we have seen an increase in our Canadian orders, so our customers seem to be happy with it as well. Show more

Highly recommend this company. Been working with border buddies since April of 2022 and they have been reliable and communicative the entire time. We’ve encountered various random issues that were attended to and resolved in a very timely manner. I feel more comfortable knowing my orders being sent to Canada are under their care. Show more

We started using Border Buddy 8+ months ago and it has been super smooth and convenient. They send the label and customs info and make the whole process way more straightforward and cheaper than shipping any other way that we have tried. No issues with any shipments either. Would definitely recommend! Show more

Border Buddy has really transformed the way we do business with our friends in Canada! We run a small startup out of the US and due to the products we sell, we get a healthy percentage of our sales from Canadian customers. Shipping to Canada before Border Buddy resulted in unexpected import fees passed onto our customers (upwards of 80%-90% of the order total) or lost packages somewhere between the US and Canada (to the tune of 40% of our orders to CA). Border Buddy makes the process as easy as clicking a button on the customer's end and as easy as sending us a label and pre-filled customs form. There are no unexpected fees or issues since using Border Buddy! Monty has been a true pleasure to work with as we sorted through a couple of misses on my end during setup and has even helped us on a couple of critical shipments!! Show more

Border Buddy has been a dream to work with! Their team has been the most helpful and responsive we have ever experienced with a Shopify app. Our customers are so much happier not being surprised by extra import fees, and the installation / setup process was a breeze thanks to their talented development team. Thank you to Monty for the amazing direct support. Show more
