Want to save on shipping,
Seawings Express is a Canada Customs Bonded Carrier offering freight forwarding and cross-border shipping with fast daily service from Blaine to Victoria.
Our service is used to receive auto parts, electronics, cosmetics, food, books and furniture, and everything in between. We also have a Victoria YYJ to Vancouver YVR truck route running Monday-Friday, excluding holidays.
Basically, we bring your products over the border and charge you WAY LESS than Fedex, UPS and the rest! Some companies (Amazon, Summit Racing, Target, Walmart, Rock Auto etc) ship things in multiple packages, and as such, we only charge a discounted fee on each additional box after the first one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is customs?
Customs is located near arrivals inside the airport terminal, beside the currency exchange booth. It is a quick walk from our office to get there.
Where can I park?
Parking is free in the lot near our office. We are located in the brown cargo building to the right of the main airport terminal.
What CAN’T I import?
Seawings Express cannot import alcohol, live animals, or functioning road-legal vehicles.
The importer (you) is responsible for ensuring all goods comply with Canadian import requirements and are permissible to import by the relevant regulating authority (Health Canada, BCLD, Transport Canada, or the RCMP). This includes holistic health products, prescription medications and supplements, live plants and seeds, food products, firearm-related items, e-bikes, children’s car seats and strollers, and similar regulated goods.
If you are unsure whether an item is permitted, consult the Automated Import Reference System (AIRS) or contact YYJ CBSA at 250-363-6644 before shipping.
Can someone else pick up for me?
To have someone pick up on your behalf, you will need to provide them with:
-A letter from you that states they have your permission to clear customs on your behalf.
-A printed copy of the invoice (order receipt)
-Their photo ID
What if I don’t have my invoice when I come pick up the package?
Your invoice is your receipt from the seller you purchased your shipment from. It must include a description of the items in your shipment and dollar value. You always have the option of emailing it to us, we are happy to print it for you.
If you do not have an invoice, you will not be able to clear your shipment through customs. CBSA requires you to provide them with an invoice.
How long does it take for my package to get from Blaine to Victoria?
2-3 business days.
If you haven’t received an email notice from us within 3 business days of your shipment arriving in Blaine, please fill out our delayed shipment form, listed under Step 3 on our website.

I see my package has been delivered to Blaine, but why haven’t I heard from you?
“Seawings” is likely not on the label of your package, which means it is stuck at the Blaine warehouse. This can happen even if “seawings” is visible on your invoice. Please complete this form so we can have it processed for pick up.
What’s a broker?
Customs brokers clear shipments of imported goods, prepare required documentation for export shipments and collect duties and taxes. They act as a “middle person” between importers and the government, helping companies & individuals deal with legislation. They do charge a fee for this service which is determined as a percentage of the value of the imported shipment. We recommend King Bros in Victoria as the best broker on the island.
Importing E-Bikes
Until further notice, all e-bikes will be held in Blaine until we can confirm they are Transport Canada compliant. Please ensure when ordering an e-bike that you research its legality in Canada. Link to Transport Canada – importating non-regulated vehicles
