A refueling stop with a trick: if you use you card to pay, the cost of a gallon is a dime higher... The toilets are clean. The store offers a wide variety of alcohol, a few chocolates and some gifts. It was not busy. Very few travellers due to covid restrictions.

Did something change at the pumps for cars?I used to to be able to use my Visa card at the pumps till last week, it didn’t work today and kept saying go see the cashier.Went in and so many people are on the line up on both the fuel counter and the other counter. Only one girl looking after both.I couldn’t be bothered with that, so just took off and crossed into Canada. If we have to go in all the time to pay for fuel, it will be annoying and waste of time after a long day at work. Hope they fix this issue soon, so we can pay at the pump.

WARNING FOR TRUCKERS: Dont come here searching for fuel simply because your fuel location app shows you a cheaper price if you are not headed to Canada!!! If you take a wrong turn or accidentally end up here, DONT BUY ANYTHING if you are not planning to go into Canada. Some of the workers here will try to extort money from you to help you get turned around, but dont pay anyone. Theres a procedure already in place to get cars and big trucks turned around if you end up her accidentally. But only if you have not purchased anything. Once you buy items or liquor you, and whatever/whoever is in your vehicle MUST enter Canada to get turned around. You have been warned.

Good place to see has a bargain shop as well with lot on odd bit a Bobs in also does a large selection of different spirits you cant get in other duty fee shops beer is not the cheapest but makes up for that in all the extra offers. They do with the spirits and perfumes that are on offer here

Review №26

They have a great selection of Liquor! I shop there before I go see my friends so we can all have a good time. They have a bargain emporium that sells goods for cheap! Lots of baby items for sale and other trinkets you can use as gifts. Gas is very easy to get there. I suggest you use cash to get the best value of if you cross frequently, get a Ambassador Bridge Commuter card.

Review №36

They more or less have a monopoly and in some respects it shows. The prices are exceptional - especially for gas, but its very common for many of the pumps to be out of service and it takes far longer than it should to dispense 10 gallons of gas. On the bright side, the staff are pretty good and theres a good selection of duty free items.

Review №42

They are always out of Glenfiddich. Their beer selection is very limited and they are always out of their good beers. This was the 3rd time in a row Ive left empty handed. There were a bunch of people at the cash registers talking. I didnt know if they were all employees or employees and customers because they werent wearing uniforms so I couldnt ask any questions. Dont waste your time going here. Im not going to anymore. Plus one star for it looking nice inside.

Review №44

This is a Dutyfree store at the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit USA & Windsor Canada. There is a very wide variety of upper name brand perfume & cologne with good prices. There are also wide choices of name brand alcohol liquor. Other items are limited choices of toys & candies. But because of the requirement of crossing between Canada & the US, one must be alert to the 2 countries Law on importing goods, and properly declaring the purchases to Custom. They also have a large Gas bar for passenger vehicles (cars, SUV, trucks, RV, van, etc.) As well as another area for big transport trucks (Semis).

Mo
Review №45

Great Gas Prices if you are Canadian and coming back always fill up. The actual store is huge and selection is very random. Personally Im not looking for booze or smokes. Im looking for cheap toys for the kids or games for my collection. They have hobby boardgames with surprising frequency and often at fantastic prices.

Ai
Review №46

Large selection in the general store, but the deals you find at the Border Bargain store is unreal. It’s hit and miss - some days there is nothing worth it and other days you can score big! My biggest score was a 60” name brand TV for $200. I also got most of the furniture and toys I needed for my third baby (crib, bouncer, swing, diapers, etc) from here. I’ve known others get wild deals on small appliances, bedding and more. Like their Facebook page for a preview of their daily sales!

Review №48

I love going to this place to go in the back room where they have lots of good stuff for cheap. Alot of people dont even know that there is a back room where you can buy stuff at. This is not the same stuff that is out on the floor this is other stuff from tools to mugs to bedding to paper towels to pet stuff. You never know what they are going to have in there from week to week its always something different.

Ch
Review №49

Best gas prices ever. But why does toll cost so much to cross the border over there? The bargain area is a good touch. Kinda chaotic at first but some good finds there.

Ch
Review №50

Good/great deals, but sometimes the checkout line takes a really long time (10-15 minutes) since there is only one cashier and products often dont scan in the system forcing the cashier to manually look up the products. Youll end up buying things you dont really need because its such a good deal. Sometimes there are new products daily and other times it seems like theres nothing new for a week or more.

Fl
Review №51

The so called “Duty-Free” gas prices are deceiving. The gas prices are better than Canadian gas stations, but “duty” free gas should be cheaper than local gas stations. Save roughly 20% at this gas station or 30% at other gas stations in Michigan before you hit the “Bridge To Canada” exit.

Review №52

Stop here if you have time. Occasionally youll find a VERY good deal. Bought a new-in-box KitchenAid pasta maker attachment for $40.00. Reg price $279.00. Worth checking in to see whats new. Inventory constantly changes. Unfortunately, the useless items outnumber the steals.

Took a trip specifically to go here and get a bottle of Talisker Dark Storm as a present, which the website says they have. Turns out they didnt, and the employees seemed to be very uninformed about their stock.

Review №57

Large easy to access last stop before crossing the border into Canada, with short and quick cash lines. Fill up with gas and get your eggs and milk here too before heading home from being away. Good washrooms and reasonable prices with featured deals being the best bet, but I usually get my alcohol at Costco or Meijer at a better price. Know your prices.

Duty free prices are average compared to other border crossings into Ontario. Cigarettes are cheaper than ANY crossings from New York into Ontario. Marlboro not available crossings into USA. Loyalty program has some benefits but only if you want to prepay money onto card. Gives you 5% discount on many things in store not already discounted items (including cigarettes and booze). Bridge toll and gas discount with Nexus. Bridge crossings in Detroit are very expensive compared to crossings from NY. Border bargain outlet has some unique finds and bargains can be had here. Would have been 4 stars if not for high bridge toll.

Very friendly staff. Unfortunately there needs to be a review on prices on non alcoholic products. Often products are over priced. Also the bargin shop used to be a place to get amazing deals. Now most things are at or close to retail price.

Review №66

They have all kinds of products but they are usually the same price as the stores. Also Matty love to charge people going to Canada more than going to the US. Vodka is $20USD in the US but $16-18 CAD in Canada.The fuel is pretty well the same, $2.079 at the Marketplace $2.109-$2.159 on the street and your supporting the roads with tax. His fuel is tax free.He is as greedy as possible.

Good place for duty free products. However. Its important to research the prices before you buy. Just because its duty free, it doesnt mean its the best price.

Review №83

Dont buy gas for your vehicle here. Purchased regular unleaded gas at this duty free which immediately had a negative effect on my cars engine. We had all the symptoms of watered down gas and a quick Google search will show theyve served bad gas in the past. Will never fill my tank here again.The store itself is pretty standard and nothing special, Ive never found any deals here too good to pass up. Staff is helpful and friendly, though. Often times youll find the monetary savings isnt worth getting pulled over to pay duty when youre on your way into Canada.

Good selection of tax free alcohol before you cross back into Canada. Gas is usually 20-30 cents/L cheaper than buying in Canada as well (after conversion).
