Whether you’re shipping a box of rocks, family heirlooms, birthday gifts, artwork or documents across town, the country or around the world, Sip and Ship is your compass . There are many things to consider when putting your items into the vast circulation systems. Sip and Ship can help equipe you with plenty of options to get your packages and letters from Point A to Point B with efficiency and care.

The Best Way (usually) - USPS Priority Mail is a great place to start, especially when you are mailing passports or sensitive documents, giving you 2-3 day service with emailed tracking details.

The Quickest Way (like a cheetah!) - FedEx Overnight with arrival by 10:30am is recommended. Simply because, their earlier delivery time can fail if the office or recipient is not available to sign for the shipment. You can waive delivery signature but it is not recommended due to the time sensitivity and guaranteed service that comes with this service.

The Farthest Way (Magellan would be proud) - Hands down, DHL has proven to be both cost effective and efficient to almost any corner of the world. This is a door to door service with arrival times anywhere between 3-5 business days, sometimes less depending on the destination and package contents.

The Heaviest Way (Arnold Schwarzenegger not required) - Freight Shipping is definitely an option to explore with Sip and Ship. Packing up your household, office, moving a piece of furniture or artwork across the country or around the world can be an overwhelming endeavor. We partner with a few freight shippers who are experts at handling large, heavy and volumes of items. By emailing Sip and Ship the details, our team is your point of contact , providing you with a quote within a 24 hour period, coordinating packing and logistics - giving you an idea of what’s possible.

Feel free to contact us anytime with any questions, we look forward to serving you.
