Fall For Macarons At Sip and Ship

9/29/2019

Macarons are special. Macarons are a treat. Macarons are now available at NW Market Street!

Macarons are fun to eat. It’s fun to say, well worth a tweet. Macarons are colorful and decadently sweet. Great with a cup of coffee at Sip and Ship, making your errand running deliciously complete.

This Wednesday, Oct. 2nd, come meet macaron maker Alexandra of Alexandra’s Macarons from 9am-noon.

Can’t make it!?! Don’t sweat it! Sip and Ship is proud to feature these beautiful pastel-hued buttercream morsels in our cafes for you to savor and enjoy! Single cookies and six-packs will be available.

Looking forward to sharing smiles with you soon!

"When It Absolutely, Positively Has To Be There…”

Don’t forget, Sip and Ship ships FedEx!

When the FedEx Office systems went off-line last week in Ballard and Fremont, the employees there had one solution, and that was to send their customers to Sip and Ship. Some of those customers were surprised to learn that we offered FedEx services, when in-fact, we’ve been honored to offer FedEx since the beginning of Sip and Ship, 17 years ago. Overnight, 2-Day, 3-day, Ground and International shipping, we offer those options -plus, we can ship wine and are more than happy to take your pre-paid packages, too!

“When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.” This clever FedEx slogan debuted back in the late 1970’s and after several decades, still holds true today. Sip and Ship ships FedEx whenever we need to help you meet a deadline or move something fragile. We offer FedEx services from both of our store locations to guarantee you reliability, dependability with the added benefit of knowing that when we put a FRAGILE sticker on your package, our FedEx team, handles it with care.

A few years ago, we got a call from an executive in California who wanted to surprise his wife for her 50th birthday. We picked up her favorite cake from Simply Desserts in Fremont and carefully packed it up and shipped it overnight with FedEx. This very special and magical surprise was achieved without a scratch!

It takes solid partnerships like ours with FedEx that allow Sip and Ship to deliver our superpowers to you.

Can’t wait to share a pumpkin spice latte and smiles with you soon!

“Every week, I rely on Sip and Ship for a variety of services that are vital to the smooth running of my non-profit consulting business. From mailboxes, packing and shipping, notary, copying and shredding, I have experienced services that I didn’t even know I needed.” - Jennifer Weber, CFRE, Principal, Cornerstone Consulting, Seattle

“I started out in 2012 simply coming in for coffee at what seemed like a “country store” with hip and retro vibe. That quickly evolved into a business relationship where we keep a mailbox and send and receive multiple packages and depending on my travel schedule, come in 1-2 times a week for lunch or coffee.” - Joe Sullivan, CEO, Market Insights, Inc., Seattle

“The Sip and Ship model suits entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurs like myself beautifully. When I walk into Sip and Ship, I feel like I’m home.” - Dan Austin, Founder/Executive Director, 88Bilkes, Seattle

Having a PO Box (post office box) offers a somewhat flexible solution to your mail needs, but it also comes with its list of cons like limited access, limited storage, and frankly, a PO Box address NOT a street address.

So what makes a private mailbox with a street address better? At Sip and Ship we offer a stable mail and shipping street address - especially if you’re traveling or live in a remote area, don’t have a permanent address, and/or run a small business.

Sip and Ship is the solution to all of your mailing and package, and business service needs. While you’re here, grab a homemade salted-chocolate -chip-cookie, coffee or fresh cold-pressed juice.

We are ready to serve you. Have a great week!

The next time your online order just isn’t right, here are some ways you can save money and time when you bring it to Sip and Ship.

REUSE and RECYCLE - even if it’s a plastic wrapper or bubble mailer, we are earth-friendly and people-friendly ninjas.
REPURPOSE - if you have a box, let’s find a way to repurpose it!. Even if you think the box you have is too big or too small to fit your item, bring it into Sip and Ship and we’ll help you figure it out by cutting it down or switching it out to best accommodate and protect your item. Very ninja-like!
REPEAT - by coming into Sip and Ship to ship your packages, we routinely use recycled materials whenever we can. Sip and Ship collects and stores a variety of recycled packing materials at our shops. This can be a convenient and easy way for you to earn a 10% savings whenever recycled materials can be used. Ninja-approved!
FREE TAPE - dash in (like a ninja) with your packages and we’ll tape them up for FREE!
WE PRINT YOUR SHIPPING LABELS - don’t have a printer? All out of toner? Email the shop (Ballard or Greenwood) your shipping label, or send us a photo of it. We’ll print them off and get them on your packages. Send your information to ballard@sipandship.com or greenwood@sipandship.com (shippingninja.comstill under construction). Amazon QR return codes can only be processed at UPS stores. Bring in your UPS receipt and get 10% off anything at Sip and Ship.

Sip and Ship saves you time and money in some way every time you visit. Plus, we have yummy coffee and homemade treats for you to enjoy too!
See you soon!
Sincerely,
Diana and Your Friendly Sip and Ship Team (Ninjas!)
