We have the ability to print off your pre-paid label, pack up your items and tape up your packages. All you need to do, is bring in your stuff!

As always, the friendly Sip and Ship team awaits your arrival with a smile and warm cup of joe ready for you to enjoy (just in Ballard for now - our Greenwood cafe will be back online in February).

As we approach a new year and new decade, your Sip and Ship team wanted to extend our sincerest thanks for making a special trip to see us this holiday season. Providing you with a magical and bright shipping experience is what we train for year-round and look forward to providing you with exceptional service throughout 2020.

Speaking of which, 2020 will continue to be a year of great transformation. In our Ballard community, Sip and Ship will become acutely nestled in between two high rise building projects. One will be a boutique hotel with 152 rooms. On the other side of us, we anticipate a combined 208 micro-housing unit. In our Greenwood/Phinneyridge neighborhood, Sip and Ship is currently in phase two of our expansion project. A lot of you have experienced our new shipping center and we look forward to introducing a new and more spacious coffee shop to complete the SIP portion of our unique guest experience by mid-February. We can’t thank you enough for your patience and continued support during this growth process.

Finally, we wanted to give you a heads up that both Sip and Ship locations will be closing early on December 31st at 5pm, remaining closed on January 1st. We will resume regular business hours on January 2nd at 7 am.

We look forward to working with you in 2020 and wish you and yours a healthy and prosperous new year and new decade ahead!
