“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.” - J oe 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. H ave a great week!
Diana and you r friendly Sip and Ship Team
