PostNet

One question we hear almost every day: "Which carrier should I use?"

The honest answer?
It depends.

A package headed across town has different needs than one headed overseas. Timing, destination, package size, and cost all play a role.

That's why we compare carriers for you—so you don't have to figure it out on your own.

Bring in your package, tell us when it needs to arrive, and we'll help you find the best option.

Every mailbox conversation starts a little differently.
"I'm starting a business."
"I travel a lot."
"I don't want to use my home address anymore."

Different reasons. Different routines. Different solutions.

That's why every mailbox conversation starts with a few questions. Once we understand how you work, we can help you find the mailbox that fits—not just the one that sounds good on paper.

Stop by anytime. We'd love to help. In the meantime, check out our blog to learn more about the options:

Private Mailbox or Virtual Mailbox?
"Wait... what's the difference?"

We hear that question all the time.
The answer is pretty simple.

A Private Mailbox gives you a secure street address where you pick up your mail in person.
A Virtual Mailbox gives you that same professional address, but lets you securely manage your mail from anywhere.

Neither is better. It just depends on how you work. Learn more on our blog 👇

Private vs. Virtual Mailbox for Home Businesses | PostNet Working from home or traveling? Compare private and virtual mailboxes to secure a real street address, accept packages, and manage mail your way.

One of the biggest giveaways that someone is out of town?
An overflowing mailbox.

Besides leaving important documents sitting outside, it also tells everyone passing by that no one's been home for a while.
A Virtual Mailbox helps solve both problems. Your mail is received securely, and you can manage it from anywhere right on your phone.

Three patterns we saw this month:

1. Solo entrepreneurs prepping for summer pop-ups underbuy on the print stack and overbuy on the ad budget. The owners who flipped that ratio (more print, less paid social) had better booth weekends.

2. Wedding gift senders think USPS is best for everything. The right answer for fragile or high-value gifts is that it isn’t always USPS, but what the clear necessity is, is InsureShield® Shipping Protection.

3. Travelers don’t plan trip-prep at PostNet until the last 48 hours. Mail hold, passport photos, document copies, ship-ahead — all of it works better when scheduled a week out.

If any of those describe you, July is a fresh start. Stop in.

Got a wedding on the July or August calendar?

If you’re sending a gift across the country, three multi-carrier rules of thumb:

— Anything fragile or high-value (china, glassware, art): InsureShield® Shipping Protection for shipments valued up to $30,000
— Time-sensitive (wedding’s Saturday, you’re shipping Wednesday): FedEx Express Saver or UPS 2nd Day Air
— Destination weddings: ship to the resort or hotel ahead of arrival, with a clear hold-until date

Bring the gift. We’ll do the comparison live in one stop.
