Triple A Building Center in Massena now a pick-up location for Canadian, US online shoppers

Posted

MASSENA -- Triple “A” Building Center in Massena has partnered with alternative delivery network Kinek to serve as an authorized “KinekPoint” cross-border pickup center serving Canadian and US online shoppers.

Now shoppers on either side of the border can order from any source in the world and have packages shipped to the Triple “A” KinekPoint, where they can pick them up at their convenience, avoiding missed and stolen deliveries.

By providing a secure and convenient cross-border pick-up location in close proximity to the Seaway International Bridge in Cornwall, Triple “A” and Kinek are striving to offer Canadians the added benefit of avoiding high international shipping and brokerage fees, and accessing the wider range of online products available to U.S. consumers.

“By serving as a KinekPoint, we’re offering Canadians an alternative delivery option, and allowing them to order from online retailers that don’t ship to Canada,” said John Schneider of Triple “A.”

“Our secure storage facility and flexible pickup hours allow Canadian and U.S. customers to shop online, confident their packages will arrive safely. Packages have already begun arriving, from Amazon, Ebay, Zappos, and many more retailers, and we’ve just begun the Christmas buying season.”

Customers sign up online for a free account at Kinek.com, which allows them to have their packages shipped to the Triple “A” Building Center KinekPoint. They can be picked up Monday- Friday, 7a.m.-5:30 p.m., Saturday 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m.-3 p.m. The cost is now only $5.00 per package.

By shipping to Triple “A” or any other KinekPoint, customers can track their package from the moment it is ordered through the Kinek site or iPhone app, and they will also receive an email, text message, and/or iPhone push notification as soon as the package arrives.

Customers can order from any website, retail outlet or individual in the world. As a KinekPoint border location, Triple “A” also offers 30 days free storage to its Canadian customers.

“Traditional delivery services either require you to take time off work to sign for a package or leave valuable parcels unattended on doorsteps or in apartment lobbies,” said Kerry McLellan, CEO, Kinek. “We’re proud to partner with companies like Triple “A” to offer a more convenient and secure way to receive packages, and hope this service will help U.S. and Canadian residents in this region have a more pleasant holiday season.”
