"BEST CONFUSING COMBO"
​
Remember when you were a kid and your mom would promise that you could have a treat if you behaved yourself while she ran errands? This Ballard institution is the grown-up version of that particular form of bribery; a trip to the post office seems so much less tedious when you factor in seasonal lattes, macarons, and scratch-made banana bread.
The female-owned centralized hub for notary services and iced coffee also has a location in Greenwood, and both offer a discerning selection of chic stationery, scented candles, and other trinkets suited to the procrastinating gift-giver - because of course, you can ship them on the spot.


You’re invited to enjoy our Summer Sale at Greenwood Sip and Ship. We’re also offering all of our mailbox members 15% off all bottles of wine purchases at Ballard Sip and Ship (until July 30th or while supplies last). Whether you're a t raditional mailbox member or a virtual one, we look forward to passing along awesome savings to you! Wherever your summer takes you, we hope it includes a stop into your favorite one-stop-shop combo!
