Mail tampering and theft is increasing in Seattle and according to King 5 News, packages aren’t the only thing being stolen; letters containing sensitive information are fair game.

Safeguarding your mail has never been easier and Sip and Ship prevents this from plaguing your mind when you’re trying to get out of town to immerse yourself on a sunny coastline a world away.

We want to be your safe space. It literally takes four minutes to get you set up in person at either one of our locations OR you can sign up online here.

Truth be told, we want you to live your best life year-round, not only when you’re planning to go out of town –a year lease is the best value for your money.

Don’t need all of your mail to come to us? You don’t have to have a mailbox with us. Register now to take advantage of our package receiving services! You’ll receive real-time email notifications from us once your package has been delivered and professionally secured.

By the way, if you’re in Seattle this weekend come check out the Ballard Seafood Fest and Sidewalk SALE. This Saturday, July 15th stop into Ballard Sip and Ship to order up an icy-latte or ginger-peach iced tea and shop for great deals! Mention this email and receive $5 off any purchase of our exclusive and locally made Ballard t-shirts, onesies, and caps —a wonderful way to show your support and community pride.

We look forward to seeing you this week!
