When we were twenty-somethings climbing the corporate ladder, my then-boyfriend and now-husband Steve and I would connect and commensurate over copious cups of coffee. Later on, as new parents, up way too early with a teething infant, or today as business partners (and still parents without a playbook), sharing a cup of coffee every morning together has been a mainstay in our relationship some 20 years later. It’s also a critical element in our business. Sipping coffee at Sip and Ship provides a sense of comfort while tackling difficult shipping dilemmas or cozily cradling warmth from the cup in the palm of your hands while discovering the perfect card and gift to send to a dear friend battling cancer, celebrating a birthday, or the merriment of life milestones. Our team couldn’t be happier to share this welcoming experience with you whenever you visit our shops. This makes today even more special because we’d love to hear from you to learn how we can better serve you. With just a quick click and submit, please indicate your preferred coffee shop hours below: 7am-2pm 8am-3pm 9am-3pm Your vote will affect both Ballard and Greenwood Sip and Ship locations. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to getting a cup back in your hands very soon.

Here are five ways to reduce your shipping costs no matter which shipping method you use. 1. Pre-paid Shipping Labels Use them! They are THE MOST cost effective way to return any item. Beware - they do not include any packaging needed to protect the item along its journey. 2. Size Smaller is better in the shipping industry. The less real-estate your package takes up in the truck or aircraft the difference it makes no matter which shipping carrier you choose. 3. Reuse Keeping a stash of padded mailers, poly-bags and boxes on hand to avoid paying for packing services. Certain to cover-up or black marker through any former shipping labels or box markings. For example, flipping inside out a poly bag to return non-fragile items. Bringing it to Sip and Ship to take advantage of our free shipping tape to seal them up. 4. Flat Rate These are excellent ways to reduce shipping costs as long as the item can comfortably fit inside these carrier containers. For example, the other day, a guest brought in a car license plate inside a padded mailer and our team recommended slipping inside a USPS Priority Mail Flat Envelope saving them upwards of $5. Enough to add a couple of Seattle Chocolate bars without increasing their shipping price. 5. Service Sip and Ship values partnerships.
