Creative design ideas for used pallets
Colorado College Student Shipment on a Pallet
Pak Mail regularly ships large items — household goods, estates, artwork, delicate equipment — on pallets. How can a wooden pallet be recycled? At the suggestion of an online design company, www.designrulz.com, we added a new tip about creative ideas for recycling wooden pallets. Check out their recycling ideas here.

Pak Mail – FedEx Authorized ShipCenter
Pak Mail tracks all air shipments daily. Extreme winter weather has delayed three of our FedEx shipments. The weather may be clear at the destination, but weather at the FedEx national hub in Memphis, TN, and other parts of the country may affect delivery. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Keep your mail and packages secure from porch pirates
The holidays are behind us. Did your mail and packages arrive at your home safely? Yes… excellent. No… consider the following:
Pak Mail Private Mailbox
- Does your neighborhood have unlocked curbside mailboxes?
- Are packages left unattended on your porch while you’re at work?
Pak Mail offers a simple solution to thwart porch pirates – rent a private mailbox. Pak Mail sends email notifications when packages are received.
For a small additional monthly fee, you can save a trip and call ahead to see if you have any mail.

Commemorate 2017 and Welcome 2018
Thank you to our customers – both “old” and new – as we continue to thrive. Our 2017 was a year of growth and change.
- Customers can attest to the number of large freight shipments we did in 2017.
It’s amazing the shipping challenges that come through our front door.
Dad – Everett Minck 1925-2017
- My Dad quietly left this world in March saying, “I’m ready to fly.” His gentle entrepreneurial spirit lives on.
- Jesse completed an 18-month course in medical equipment technology in August. He moved on to a full-time position repairing high-tech equipment. He continues to work part-time at Pak Mail on most Saturdays and a few afternoons.
- Stop by and meet our new employee Shane – not related, but treated like family.
- Albertsons became Safeway. Pak Mail is still two doors north and has been since 1996. Ten years of ownership is fast approaching at the end of February.
We appreciate our customers! Pak Mail ships small packages and documents with UPS, FedEx, DHL, or USPS; rents private mailboxes for personal and business use; builds custom boxes, crates, and pallets; packs and ships large items with LTL, air, and ocean freight carriers; and provides basic office services.
Thank you!
