5dpackages

Better than any other package service I’ve ever used. Customer service is almost always good and very affordable. Location is obviously important and it’s super close to the border in Blaine.

Picking up packages from the states has never been easier! 5d packages makes it faster and better than ever.
Sign-​up is simple with their online application, you’ll get a personal mailbox number (PMB number) to write with the shipping address that will identify your packages as your own. Once your package arrives at the shop, you’ll get a notification of your choice (email, text or phone call). You can pre-​pay the package fee online or pay in person with USD, or credit card (Visa, Mastercard or American Express). Each standard package under 50lbs is $ 2 USD and above that weight up to 100lbs is $ 3 USD. You have up to 30 days to pick up your package, otherwise a $ 0.50 fee will be added each day after those first 30 days of storage. There’s the option to authorize another person to help you pick up the packages as well. But make sure to pick it up before 60 days because they either destroy or donate that package!
The gong at the front table is awesome but I never get to use it because the staff are always there, friendly and quick! The space is very clean, flat blades are there to open up your packages if you wish and big sorting bins are there for your cardboards, plastics and garbage.
Right after you cross the border, 5d packages is less than a minute away, next to the Subway. Plenty of free and close-​by parking. Overall, a really pleasant place to easily get your packages… 5d 5d! faster faster! (you asians will get that… right? hehe)

Fast, efficient and modern with technology enabled system. Highly recommended.
Quick pick up!

Great place, extended hours, staff are really nice, cheap and you don’t have to pay a membership like the other ones. Plus there’s edaleen’s dairy right across the street if u need an ice cream break from those border waits: D

Friendly service, several payment options, no annual fees. Hours of service can improve a bit.
Excellent service, thinking of cancelling my US PO Box and switching to 5D Packages.

Not a happy customer based on my first experience.
I had 2 packages shipped to 5dpackages. One arrived a day before and the other one arrived today at around 10am. I walked in at around 12pm.
I didn’t receive pickup email for the latter package, but I thought I would be fine because it had been a few hours. However the lady refused to look for the latter package for me. Well, okay, I understand they had a trunk of packages waiting to be sorted. So I waited… A few hours later (3pm), there was still no email or message regarding that package so I headed into the store again and requested for pickup. The gentleman explained the situation patiently and tried searching for my package in the storage room, but without luck, he couldn’t find it due to too many packages…
5dpackages’ price is the lowest in Blaine WA, but their processing speed is super low and extremely inefficient. At the time of this review being written, it has been 5 hours since delivery.
Tiring and a little bit disappointing. If you want a quick and quality service and don’t mind additional $ 0.5, go for Blaine Postal Center. It’s just a few minutes away.
Not sure if I’ll go back next time. My Saturday was wasted.

DO NOT GO HERE!
I made a mistake by jumping ship due to lower storage fees. Not a good idea! The owner is rude and wasn’t pleasant to work with. He was this skinny short prick that had no manners and didn’t want to hear my story. Don’t bother people! There’s always a catch to cheaper below market priced services!
PS. MBI Store is 2 mins from there and they are awesome! The owner there is super nice and takes care of all his customers.

Wow, best place to pick up my parcels! I can’t find any complaints /​improvements so far!
The good:
+ 30 days of free storage
+ $ 2 per package (under 50lb)
+ $ 3 per package (50−100lb)
+ free wifi
+ referral program will earn you credit
+ recycle bins & cutters to remove all your packaging. Some places make you take all your packaging.
+ Dollys, for those who have giant packages
+ extended hours! Open everyday till 9pm weeknights, 8pm weekends
+ Edaleen Dairy is right next door (but closed on Sundays)
+ just past the Peace Arch border, don’t even need to get on the highway
+ online account will show you all your packages, with email notifications
+ I hear they have a 604-​number so we can make local calls
the bad:
— can’t think of anything!

I was a Hagen’s of Blaine fan for over 10 years. But in the recent years, I’ve become very disappointed with their service level and the long line and the bureaucracy. So when someone told me about 5d, I figured it doesn’t hurt to give it a try.
So, let’s talk about 5D. First, it was incredibly easy to sign up for an account, and I can pay my fees online through Paypal. I like it easy.
Secondly, the pick-​up was easy and no drama. The service is courteous and fast. There’s no big long line. I have already paid my fees online so it was even faster.
Third, one time I was out without data connection to look up their hours, so I text’d their 604 number. They promptly replied with their hours. How convenient is that!
There was clearly labeled bins for different types of recycling. I can consolidate all my packages into one or two bigger boxes to fit in my trunk, and leave all the recycling stuff behind. I don’t care that they don’t have the fanciest space with designer paint. I’m there to get my packages quickly and get out, and I am happy to not have to pay a annual fee.

I didn’t want to write a review about 5dpackages because I was hoping it would stay a hidden gem, but I guess it can’t really be that hidden in Blaine. I was a customer of ²⁴⁄₇ Parcel for a couple years because I didn’t have my Nexus yet and at ²⁴⁄₇ Parcel I could go pick up my packages at midnight and not have to wait in the border lineups. Well, now that I have my Nexus I am proud to say I have switched over to 5dpackages!
Why? Their hours are great. It’s not ²⁴⁄₇ but on weekdays, it’s til 9pm and on weekends 8pm. That works for me. What else? $ 2 per package! You can’t really get a better deal than that!
Other good things:
–30 day storage. You can ship a few things there and pick it up all at once instead of going back multiple times! BIG PLUS!
–Referral program. It’s not much but something is better than nothing!
I will continue to use 5dpackages but it might be less often now that the dollar is so low. Thanks for the services 5dpackages!

I have never had a mailing service so I cannot compare this place to others.
But I will go ahead and give 5 stars anyway because our first visit was very pleasant.
We were looking for a mailing service place by the border to receive packages from the States.
I started my research a while ago and decided to go with them.
From my research, I found out that a lot of places charge monthly fees for a personal mail box for you to keep and some places even have annual fees just to use the service.
Hmmm, it is going to be very expensive!
Then I found 5dpackges.
What I liked about 5dpackages is that there are no monthly fees. And no annual fees.
All you pay for is just really $ 2 per package.
And they hold packages for you up to 30 days without any additional cost.
But at the same time, there is no personal mail box either.
I was not sure about the last part, but I went ahead and created an account to give it a try anyway because they had really good Unilocal reviews.
Creating an account was very easy. I did it online. Got my address right away. I sent my stuff from UPS in California to the address no problem. And bought some items on
and sent them to the address as well.
I was still not sure how this «no personal mail box» thing would work even though I created an account and sent some stuff to my address there. But after visiting this place for the first time, now we know it is just like picking up packages at Fedex or some sort.
It is simple and easy. 1) You just go there, 2) tell your address and 3) show your ID, and 4) they will bring your packages. 5) You pay $ 2 each. That is it.
The service is very fast and friendly. Their hours are great. The place is nice and clean.
We are so glad that we chose this place.
Thanks guys for posting helpful reviews on Unilocal!!!

A friend suggested I try 5dpackages, and I’m so glad I did! What a contrast to the other place in Blaine I’ve been using to receive packages from the USA. Best aspects:
— right next to the Peace Arch border
— no lineups
— no annual fee
— cheap
— convenient hours (Mon-​Fri: 10am — 9pm, Sat: 9am — 8pm, Sun: 11am — 8pm… yes, Sunday!!!)
— friendly staff
— right next door to Edaleen Dairy, so you can get an ice cream when you’re done
I’m not sure why the other place is so busy and 5d is not… but I’m sold.

I think this is the best postal office package pickup place. I really like buying things from the US or particularly Amazon. And I have to say, I have used so many postal package pickup places that I have lost count.
Ok why do i like this place?
1) This place has a 30 days grace pickup. I mean I don’t have to go and pick up the package right away when the item arrives. its competitor usually just give 1 week. If you are like me who buys a lot of US goods. Then it makes since to make one trip not many trips.
2) Secondly this place charges 2 dollar per item. and storage after 30 days is only $ 0.50. Cheapest I found.
3) Super close to the boarder.
4) Opens 7 days and late as well.
Friendly service. And if you refer your friends you get credits as well.
Thumbs up this place

I’m so happy I decided to give this place a try! I love that their website is very user-​friendly and easy to understand. They do NOT charge an annual registration fee and they have much longer hours compared to other parcel-​pickup places. Knowing that they’re open until 8pm or 9pm makes me very happy because that means I don’t have to rush to the border and finish my shopping quickly before they close.
I haven’t had too many visits yet to comment on their customer service but when I came to pickup my packages, it was all very quick and easy. The girl at the front desk wasn’t very attentive as she seemed to be too focused on the tablet they use for their system. It didn’t really bother me since I just wanted to pickup my packages and go. She wasn’t snobby or rude at all and it’s not like she ignored me or anything like that so it’s all good.
You have a choice to either pay in USD or CAD, or you could even pay online beforehand as well. (They only charge $ 2 per package!)
I find it very helpful and convenient to be able to login to my own account through their website. Other establishments have shady websites and no login accounts at all — everything is just done through email and ONLY through email. Here at 5d, I can see how many packages are ready for pickup and how much my current owing balance is. On top of that, they also notify you by email that your parcel is ready for pickup. You could also have them text you to notify you as well. Another plus is they have both US AND Canadian numbers you can call/​text anytime – they respond quite quickly and professionally.
What really impressed me is how quick they process packages. On their website, they mentioned that they usually are able to process packages in under an hour! So far, all of my packages that I expected to arrive on a specific date have been processed and ready for pickup on that exact same date, which is awesome! I’m so glad I don’t have to wait any more additional days just to pickup a parcel.
I would definitely recommend this place :)

My brother in law has a box here and has my name under it for my online shopping. This place is freaking awesome. No monthly fee, only $ 2 per package and open until 9pm weekdays and 8pm weekends.
They have tons of packing supplies if needed and the people are very pleasant. The 45 minute drive across the border here already saved me about $ 85 in shipping charges… I can’t be any happier right now.

I switched to this place from Hagens after hearing about it from a friend.
They have no annual fee and the pick up is $ 2.00. They are open longer hours as well and open 7 days a week.
I was pretty satisfied with Hagens but not having to pay annual fee and lower pick up fee made me switch. I’ve only used their service twice now but I am happy with them so far.
I also like that it is right by milk store so I can do one stop shop; picking up a package and getting milk. Perfect.

I am SO glad I switched to 5D from Hagens for my parcel pick up. The service here is awesome, prices are better, and hours are effin FANTASTIC. They recently extended their Saturday hours to open at 9 am instead of 11 for those of us that want to get an early start let’s say if we’re going down for the day.
They seem to have a pretty efficient system, the guy at front desk looks up everything on his ipad, doesn’t even require signature to pick up so the process is very quick. They did recently change their referral program so that your referrals have to spend a certain amount before you get the credit but that’s not a huge deal because at least the referrals get the $ 5 credit as soon as they pick up.
They will text AND email you if you want when your packages comes in and I guess it’s because they’re not as busy yet so I find that the notification happens relatively quickly whereas Hagens would send you the notification the next day or two days after if they’re busy. If you want fast, easy, cheap pick up service this is the place!

My girlfriend recommended this place to me, she had a really bad experience with Hagens. I ordered two small iphone 6 accessories for my dad for Christmas, and was able to pick it up on the 23^rd with no problems! They sent me an email AND a text like an hour after my stuff arrived (I was tracking the package all day anticipating the arrival) and service was quick and easy. With their prices and store hours I don’t think any other shipping place can beat it

Great new place to get your packages delivered in Blaine. I don’t know if there’s anything not to like.
— Great hours
— Open 7 days a week
— Open late on weeknights
— Only $ 2.00 per package up to 50lbs
— $ 3.00 per package up to 100 lbs
— Even a 604 phone number if you need to call them from Canada
— 30 days to pick up parcel
— Referral program
My first visit was quick and painless. They had three people working there and so I didn’t have to wait long. They can pull up your account on a tablet and the girl who helped me found my package in no time. You can pre-​pay for the service via PayPal or add additional credits to your account from home. This makes things easy and cuts down wait times at the store. We used to send stuff to another place which charges more per parcel and an annual fee. The lineups were always at least 10 minutes long and they aren’t open on Sundays. Safe to say we aren’t going back.
A part of me wonders how long this business can be sustainable at the current rates and the amount of credit they are giving out for referrals. For now, I’ll be coming here for sure but it’s just too bad the CAD is so low right now. Boooo.

While just getting to the game of online shopping and picking things up, those closing hours are so essential! Imagine getting caught for an hour waiting to cross the Peace Arch, yes, I should get a Nexus, but I digress as usual.
Compared to the Mail Boxes Plus just across, 5D kicks them out of the water with their hours and ambience lol. It feels more like a UPS parcel, a clear table to do whatever unpackaging, and there seemed to be a lot of boxes.
Should note that weekends they close an hour early 8pm but still great.
lots free parking in front.
Cool that you can text them to save on roaming charges.
30 days FREE storage, wow.
receiving stuff under 50 lbs, just $ 2, another wow.
