I was looking for a place to have my eBay items sent to near the Washington British Columbia Border. Then I could take the eBay items I buy for my sister in Canada over the border or tell her to pick them up. Someone told my sister about this company 'Bettas Services' in Oroville Washington. Sounds easy. I buy, then have the goods shipped to Oroville where my sister would then pick them up. My sister is from Kamloops. She went to Oroville shopping for food and to see if this place was for real. My sister talked to them and was told that eBay items arrive there all the time. The people that run this place charged my sister $25 for the first small box that arrived. The box was a small toy and if it was over a single pound I would be surprised. There was no paperwork with the shipment when the box was opened. It just got worse from there. Bettas Services people told my sister that they would create an invoice that would allow her to take the toy back through Canada with no hassle at Customs. To listen to the people at this company talk about the special connection they have with not only Canada but the U.S. Border people was shocking. My sister went to the Post Office and sent me the toy back not willing to risk any trouble at the Border. I know my sister is sharp. What Bettas Services staff did not know is my sister works for Customs. She drove to the border and looked the company up on her work computer. Seems Bettas Services is a known site for many types of fraud. Their address 1306 Main Street is in many databases as a total fraud. The guy that owns Bettas Services knows his address is being used for fraud. From what little my sister can tell me the U.S. Border is also watching this company. All I can say is this country has enough problems with out border crooks like Bettas Services. The guy will go to jail I hope.
