Outgoing Drop Off

UPS and FEDEX with LABELS you have purchased, attached may be dropped off for pickup by the carrier of the label at this location.  UPS, FedEx, USPS  

 

Make sure the label has printed correctly:

use YOUR NAME on your USA return address

NOT CXG's name - YOU are shipping whatever is inside to whomever you are shipping it to. If the label has our business name (the store name) we will not accept it.

 

We can not reject or accept outgoing DHL as they do not come here regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

My order said Free Shipping, why are you charging me?

The Columbia Exchange is not affiliated with your seller. Colubia Exchange charges a handling fee to use our USA address, which our staff receives, logs, and stores your package which is not included in your seller's shipping. The fees charged by the Columbia Exchange cover the use of your USA address at our warehouse facility. By using the Columbia Exchange's address you agree to our terms of service.

My order says my parcel has arrived in Colville, why isn't it here?

 Items will show “signed by” and “Delivered to Agent” when they are at the Columbia Exchange.

The Columbia Exchange is NOT the Colville Post Office. The Columbia Exchange is a privately owned commercial mail receiving agency warehouse.

I don’t have a customer number yet, do I have to drive there first?

Private Mailbox Number = PMB   |  Don't have a PMB number yet?

You must submit the form 1583 to warehouse staff in person at Columbia Exchange. CXG must submit to the Postmaster, the Colville Post Office must receive the processed form before you can use your USA shipping address and customer number (PMB) for US Postal Service deliveries including Smart Post and Sure Post which the US mail carrier may make the final delivery of. Smart post and Sure Post are programs that the USPS has agreements to be the final carrier of UPS and FEDEX packages that are shipped via those USPS Partnering programs.

Use your warehouse assigned PMB number on EVERY "ship to" address and  your return address must include your PMB # or it may be considered incomplete by the US Postal Service staff handling the mail.

The US Postal Service will "return to sender" any item improperly addressed and any addressee that does not match the 1583 form on file at the Colville post office at the sole discretion of the staff handling the mail.

The Customer Number assigned by Columbia Exchange LLC Agents is your PMB number (or Columbia Exchange customer number).

Every adult who receives deliveries at the Columbia Exchange is a Private Mailbox client.

By using this address you agree to our terms of service and fees whether you have completed registration or not. 

USING OUR ADDRESS AND MEETING DRIVERS ELSEWHERE TO AVOID OUR FEE IS STEALING

Why wouldn't I write the warehouse name?

The Columbia Exchange has thousands of registered customers, each using “their individual USA shipping address.” By using Columbia Exchange's address you agree to our terms of service which provides your own private USA street address. You are shipping your order to You, NOT to our business.

Do you take Canadian money?

No, WE ACCEPT USA CASH Only. We are unable to accept interact and online payments. 

Why are you charging me Postage Due?

THIS IS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. The USPS inspects all its deliveries, sometimes their reasoning is due to the shipper using the wrong packaging, or entering the incorrect dimensions/weight. Postage Due is assessed by the USPS. We will NO LONGER “front” ANY amounts for our customer's convenience. We never charged any markup or fee for Postage Due Loans. Postage Due Loans are no longer an option

POSTAGE DUE PARCELS WILL BE REJECTED BACK TO THE POST OFFICE unless you have established a relationship where we know you will pay us back for what we have paid out to the USPS on your behalf.
