Might be time for more package pick-up services to open up on the Canadian side of the border.

It was very common for people in Canada to ship to places in the US near the border to get "free shipping", then enter briefly to pick it up and bring it into the country for their own use. Those businesses are suffering a lot right now due to the boycot. But maybe if it becomes clear this isn't going away, there will be a lot more demand in the other direction to import back to the US (the day trip standard personal exemption is $200US declared value per person).
