Hey there, I have been browsing online for answers to my questions about storage unit auctions in Ontario. I have always been directed to the Canadian Self Storage Association website which is not very helpful.

I was told by my step father and a couple of his buddies that the rules were different in the U.S for storage unit laws then they are for Canadian storage unit laws, but they didn't have any concrete information about the differences.

Regardless, I have never been to a storage unit auction before but I would really like to check it out, if I am unable to find storage auctions in my area (southwest ontario), I am willing to cross the border into Michigan where I know they have auctions and I know the rules and how everything works.

If I did auction for something and won in the states, does anybody know about the hassle of bringing a truckload of random stuff back over the border? Would I have to pay duty?
In the end I might end up renting and storing my items in the states and ship out of the states because it is cheaper that way too.
