Package Hold Service
If I’m expecting a package and will not be there to sign for it, can I have it rerouted to your store?
The best thing to do is to take advantage of our package holding service.
When placing an order online or having the package shipped, use OUR address instead of your address as the SHIP TO address. Email the tracking # of your package to Andrew@inboxandmore.com when you find out. When the package arrives, we will contact you to pick it up. We only charge $2.50 per package (up to 50 lbs) for this service and we will hold it for you up to 1 week complimentary or can arrange a longer holding time for an additional service charge. You do not have to worry about safety, signature or weather! We are insured for this service too!
Use our address as your SHIP TO address.

What sets you apart from other packing and shipping locations?
I have been open in the Bannockburn Green shopping center since Fall 2014 and enjoy servicing the North Shore in all their packing and shipping needs.
I pride myself on customer service and make it my job to know return customers by name. I always try to tailor what my store offers to the needs of the community and if I am unable to provide a service I work to fins a referral that can meet my clients need. I think you will find Inbox and More to have a neighborhood feel and personalization that gets missed in other packing and shipping stores.
