After living in…read moreAbbotsford for the last few years and regularly going across the line I finally dropped into the Abbotsford Duty Free shop just at the border on the Canadian side. And for all the times I go across, I couldn't believe I waited so long to actually do this. This store is as nicely presented and spotlessly clean as one could imagine. The prices were quite a bit cheaper than regular retail and there was lots of variety of all kinds of goodies, including liquor . The staff were knowledgeable and seemed genuinely interested in helping me as this one salesperson asked pertinent questions relative to my U.S. stay and making sure whatever I was going to buy and return with was indeed allowable. I particularly liked some of their jewelry - unique and eye-catching. As a duty free shop it is great. I will definitely return and recommend this one.

No tax shopping [Surrey, BC Canada]…read more On our way back to Washington we hung a Roger and did some shopping at the Duty Free shop in Surrey. This was a fairly big store compared to the one in Toronto. This store had plenty of souvenirs but they were pricy even with the Canadian dollar. Sections of fragrance and cosmetic products, watches, purses... then the huge area of alcohol, wine and spirits! We bought Icewine for gifting. We came across the chocolate, sweets, biscuits, chewing gum, gummy bears, maple syrup, tea, Canadian tea. We started our Christmas shopping LoL! The U.S. Customs Border Patrol did ask us if we did some shopping and what kinds of things we purchased which was mostly wine and chocolates.

The store wasn't busy. I looked around freely and I haven't noticed any employee glued to me. I didn't care about the other products because I find it overly priced.

At one point, four out of the five employees were taking turns yelling the "rules" at us. Were there signs we had missed? Were we being rude and obnoxious? Are we complete bumbling idiots? No, none of the above. Well, maybe the last one is kinda true, but still. I mean, I'm pretty sure we're not bad people for trying to buy two bottles of liquor when you're only allowed to buy one. We're all adults here, there's no need to speak to me like I'm a child.

The West Coast Duty Free Shop offers a good line of products such as liquor, jewellry, watches, Swiss Army knives, sunglasses, fragrances, cosmetics, apparel, snacks, candy, food, souvenirs, books, gifts, and more. This store stocks merchandise for the upcoming Vancouver 2010 Olympics including shirts, glasses, mugs, plush toys, postcards & other items. I stopped here on my way back to the US and got some of my favourite Maple Cream Cookies, Maple Syrup, and some cool Olympic postcards. Some good deals here! Plenty of parking and restrooms on site. Just tell the cashier your LICENSE PLATE NUMBER, which goes on the receipt. Upon driving off the parking lot, there may be a staff member checking receipts upon exit towards southbound only.

Make I suggest you stop at gas stations or a fast food outlets prior to reaching the border crossing if the urge to use a restroom happens. Customer service at West Coast Duty Free is excellent. Everyone was friendly without being intrusive. Not all prices are posted. Most chocolates have individual price labels on them. The State of Washington has high liquor taxes. Example: A $45.00 750 ml bottle of whiskey has a 20.5% alcohol tax ($9.22) plus a $3.7708/liter tax making the total cost equal to $57.05...something for residents to keep in mind. Know the current exchange rate and use a currency converter app to figure your cost in dollars. When you leave, look carefully for the duty free entrance back into the RV/passenger car line. You need to cross the Nexus lanes to reach it.

Date of visit: July 22, 2025…read more Our friends are always gracious with hosting our four-legged terrorist when we travel and as such we always try to repay the favor by bringing them back something, and that something they prefer is Hendricks gin. Unfortunately the Vancouver Duty Free shops don't sell Hendricks, I suspect because they give preference to the Canadian brands. Supporting that suspicion was that the only gins available were Canadian brands. Staff recommended the Empress brand, well-represented with multiple varieties on offer, but that is also easily found back home and half of the fun is getting something you can't get down the street at the local Total Wine. Given that, we settled on the Sheringham Distillery, which did not seem to have nearly as wide a distribution as Empress. Our friends were very excited to receive the bottle and I hope they enjoy it! Staff here were a mix; one woman could have cared less about anyone in her store, the other was incredibly friendly and helpful, so if you don't get a good response from the first person you see, try again!
