Looking for Ride... for our fursuit merchandise

Hello to all.

Last year, I was unable to bring my fursuit and costume items to AC for sale because of the US customs agents insisting that I would be an illegal immigrant worker by physically selling items in the US instead of hiring fully capable US citizens to sell my items. I was fingerprinted, photographed and turned away and told to enter with no textiles, not even my own personal fursuits.

Whatever... I thought NAFTA was on my side, but it isn't since my items, although costumes, are considered textiles and they suddenly become an exception for NAFTA. (like softwood lumber)

I could try to transport my items there myself, but that would require hiring a Customs Broker and would involves posting a bond on my costume items worth 1.5x their value. So basically I need to shell out 2400$ in order to make 1600$ in sales...

However I can ship them ahead of time as Uncle Kage suggests.
BUT, "Materials should be sent no earlier than 72 hours before the date of the function or arrival." confuses me. Does this imply that they cannot receive packages 3 days before the convention, or does it require a miracle that I ship the items 3 days before the con using an express service like FedEx/UPS which I doubt would clear their customs that fast and would be very expensive.

Last year I tried to ship a commissioned fursuit on Thursday before the Con by FedEx and they guaranteed it would be there next day... it got there... on Monday after the con, then I had to have the hotel ship it to my customer.. and they even messed that up by leaving the costume in their shipping department a full week before shipping after I called a 2nd time.. So I strongly doubt FedEx/UPS before the con would be possible.

So in case the above holds true, I am looking for furs/fursuiters, driving to AC, preferable those nearby it, or even in Pittsburgh itself who can accept our packages of fursuit items and transport them to the con and possibly transport what remains are left back with them to ship back to us after the con. I am willing to pay for them to accept the packages and hold/transport them and will cover any customs fees that may be applied to them.
I'm looking at possibly 5-6 medium boxes of tails, ears, paws, etc.

Please feel free to contact me if you're interested.
