I have a game I want shipped from Missouri to the Niagara Falls/Buffalo area. Has anyone used any of the depots before to have a game shipped? I found one in Niagara Falls that charges $30US to have the game received and they will hold it until you can pick it up. Looking to see if there are any other options I could consider by the Niagara Falls/Buffalo area. Thanks for your help.

When I got a game from the Phoenix AZ region I hired a trucking company and they had their own depot and were able to hold it for me there at no extra charge (as long as I didn't leave there for weeks).
In this case, the trucking firm had a depot closer to Rochester. It was a little longer of a drive but I didn't mind.

Might be worth inquiring if your shipping company has any such facility near the border.

Thanks for the feedback. The closest is Rochester. Think we used the same service. Likely have the next one shipped to Rochester as likely buying another game from Louisiana.

You can make a stop at the Strong National Museum of Play if you go to Rochester.
And don't forget the make a stop in at DiBella's subs before coming home.

You're welcome ;)

I use Parcel Donkey in Niagara Falls, NY all the time. I have never had a pin shipped there but the owner said it wouldn't be a problem.

Holds items for 2 weeks at no charge, $5 a week there after.

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up going with Kinek Lewiston UPS. They seemed to be the best for handling large items.

Btw, you should tell the owner of Parcel Donkey to update his website, as he still has a message on there about being closed from back in February.

I have used that UPS store in Tonawanda for Pinball parts and Machines. Piece of cake. Use your Kinek number on the shipping invoice. When at the UPS store all they want is your picture ID.
Works great for free US shipping deals.

This! Godfather or steak and cheese. I usually just get both!

A man after my own heart (attack) ;)

I usually get a large Godfather and add double american cheese + bacon. Don't forget the special sub sauce!
It's a killer combo

Luckily, for everyone else on this thread, you don't have to go to Rochester any longer for DiBellas. They have locations all over the Buffalo area too.
