Pak Mail is open 9 am to 6 pm on Monday

We honor our Veterans and active military. Since only the US Post Office is closed and other carriers — UPS, FedEx and DHL — are open, Pak Mail is open for business as usual on Monday, November 12.

Thank you!

Print the Amazon return label

If you’re feeling bullied by Amazon, you’re not alone. Returns to this online giant should be easy. The Amazon Returns QR Code excludes UPS Authorized Shipping Outlets like Pak Mail. It forces us to send our customers on an inconvenient journey to The UPS Store.

There is a way around this craziness. Log into your Amazon account and cancel the return using the QR Code. Go back and request the return with a UPS label. Either print the label and tape it to your box for drop off at Pak Mail, or email the label to Pak Mail and we will adhere it to the box for you.

Choose a printed UPS label not a QR code.

Pak Mail Independence Day Holiday Hours

Shipping furniture and delicate glass items

A Pak Mail customer recently traveled to the Colorado Springs-Denver area to shop at our local household furnishings consignment shops. She came away with two tables, some paintings, and the glass chandelier pictured here. After packing the items and securing them to a custom pallet, the shipment left our store. It was delivered safely.

What is the best way to pack a solid glass chandelier? Suspended in a sturdy box or crate filled with packing peanuts, and strapped to a pallet for freight shipping. This method keeps all pressure off the delicate arms of the chandelier.

Clean Styrofoam, peanuts, bubble wrap, packing paper

Pak Mail accepts and recycles clean packing materials — white Styrofoam, both molded and flat sheets, not food containers; packing peanuts; bubble wrap; and packing paper. Please separate by type of material and remove all packing tape.

We combine these recycled materials with new protective packaging products and corrugated boxes in our packing of fragile items for shipping.

Thanks!

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.

2017 Gift Packing & Shipping Tips

Pak Mail recommends shipping gifts early in the month to ensure on-time holiday delivery by Friday, December 22.

2017 Holiday Gift Shipping Countdown

The carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL) post holiday schedules. The following cut-off dates are based on these schedules and our holiday shipping experience. Pak Mail includes additional time for potential delays due to inclement weather and increased package volume.

Shipping Week Three: December 18-22

• Ship to US Lower-48 UPS/FedEx 3-day on Monday, December 18.
• Ship to Hawaii/Alaska UPS/FedEx 2-day/overnight on Monday, December 18.
• Ship to US Lower-48 UPS/FedEx 2-day on Tuesday, December 19.
• Ship to US Lower-48 UPS/FedEx overnight on Wednesday, December 20.

Before your trip to Pak Mail – especially if it’s part of your “honey do” list – be prepared with the following shipping information:

• Address and phone number of the recipient (must be a physical address for UPS, FedEx, and DHL).
• Contents of the package (if already packed and sealed). Save time and let Pak Mail pack for you.
• Value of the items.
• When you would like the package to arrive.

You will be asked if the package is safe to leave on the porch. Due to reports of porch theft this time of year, we recommend a delivery signature on most packages. We can also ship to the recipient’s work address.

Merry Christmas!
