Northern Liberties Mailbox Store

This place is a godsend! I was able to priority ship my package through USPS with zero hassle. Efficient & friendly service and way quicker than schlepping downtown to the real post office. It looks like multiple services are offered here, and it was nice to support a local business in my work hood.

Mike runs an incredibly efficient and pleasant mail service. He emails you when you have packages and can also act as a notary if you need one. The one downside is that he is closed on Sundays and some holiday weekends, so a bit of planning might be necessary, but totally worth it compared to the anxiety of having important packages being left outside your front door where anybody could lift it.

Friendly and helpful customer service. Quick and easy.

Mike is the best. Great customer service. Reliable. Good hours (open till 6:30pm weekdays) allowing you to get there after work.

Wonderful business. Was extremely helpful in getting my packages correctly weighed for a small venture with ebay. Great business to work with.

Mike is the coolest and super helpful. Everything I’ve ever needed he, he made the process super smooth and quickly! My favorite and first place for copy and print needs!

This little spot is always so quick and easy to get things done. The owner is always quick and helpful and it’s MUCH better then going to the post office.

A really brilliant business idea owned by the nicest, local guy. In addition to all of the PO boxes, copy machines, fax machines, cards, etc. you can also (for the totally reasonable fee of $ 8 per month) send an unlimited number of packages there. For a city gal such as myself it’s a dream come true! I’m never home during the day to answer the door for packages and do NOT want to drag myself down to the UPS/​FedEx warehouse on Oregon Ave. during my days off. Mike is incredibly nice and personable. I love that I get to support him and the neighborhood rather than going to a Kinko’s.

Fast, pleasant service in his new location. I would prefer to do all my postal business here! Does appear to still be moving in, as there is unpacking and organizing to be done, but it’s not interfering with the services rendered.

I have been using this place for awhile now and I tell people about it whenever I can. The guy that runs this place is so friendly & so helpful. He will bend over backward to help you get something done. I use the faxing, photocopying and the computer. If my printer is acting up I will run over here and jump on the computer and print something out. The cost is very minimal and well worth it not to fight with my printer! I have also shipped things before and he’s very good at letting you know the best way to send it and how to make sure it is protected. I’ve tried a few other places close by and nothing compares to the service here, plus I don’t think I have ever had to wait more then a minute to get service. My son also loves it because he can stand and look at all the cards while I’m taking care of my stuff!

The location has moved just two doors down (right next to the Northern Liberties community center). This place is still awesome and I’ve been going here exclusively since it has opened its doors.
The owner is a local — and he is kind, friendly and always provides you with every option possible to mail packages and isn’t out to make a quick buck. He’s an attentive and caring business owner. I also go here for the random faxing, photocopying or key making and I’ve never had nary a wait and pricing is reasonable for those services, too.
What prompted me to update my review and to elevate my rating is that, 1) he deserves it, but 2) after rushing in this morning (the place opens early, a big plus in my book!) to send Christmas gifts to nephews and nieces (why is Christmas so damn early this year) — he measured my gifts, picked the right shipping box, had the addresses to whom I was sending them on file (based on last year’s shipments) and was able to just confirm the addresses, let me pay and send me on my way (less than 10 minutes) without having to put the boxes together, fill them or write out an address and he also guaranteed delivery before Christmas. Seriously, he’s the man. There are a few service businesses in Philadelphia that are as reliable, friendly and polite as this one — and for that he’s got my business forever (or as long as I stay in the neighborhood).

As others here have said, this place is excellent. Mike, the owner, is incredibly nice, and offers a great variety of services. He’s super-​fast with digital printing orders, has an amazing range of shipping supplies, and provides other services to make this store a real one-​stop shop for all kinds of needs beyond mail services.
He’s recently moved across the street, to 702 N. 3^rd — but it’s just as convenient, and only about 75 feet away from where he used to be.

Very friendly service. I go in for key duplicates and they are always spot on & ready in a snap! Way better than Home Depot/​Lowes.

All of these 5 star reviews are spot-​on. Mike provides a perfectly run business; it’s always a pleasure going in. The mailbox/​package service solves every problem I have with apartment living for a couple bucks a month — $ 6.86 to be exact (if you pay a year in advance, he kicks in two months for free!) He’s so nice, even if you go in with an armful of things to ship five minutes before closing. Packages are signed for and kept them safe until you find time to pick them up — without attitude or complaint. And using the store’s street address ensures that no Ebay creeper knows where you live!
***They just moved from the corner of 3^rd and Fairmount (across from the Abbaye) a few doors North — on the other side of the Northern Liberties Neighborhood Association. New address is 702 N 3^rd St, not 630.

This in an amazing store. You can ship packages in whatever the cheapest or fastest form is – UPS, USPS, FedEx — and that’s great when you have multiple sized packages going multiple places. The owner is honest and so nice, and he will also tape up/​package your boxes/​packages. He sells a variety of packaging materials, stamps, and notarizes too. He also sells PPA parking pre-​paid cards and stamps, without a crazy fee. There’s also a USB friendly printer/​scanner and computer that makes it an ideal place if you work at home and sometimes need that sort of thing. I definitely recommend this place to make your shipping and business needs much easier.

Reliable, convenient shipping store. The guys there are always personable and get things done in a jiffy during one’s lunch break. Only gripe is they don’t service UPS, I had to do a return for my girlfriend, the package had a pre-​paid UPS label ready to go, I drove by Liberties Mailbox, and no UPS sign. I had to hit up the UPS Store in Old City, which was such a pain. Other than that, top notch!

i love this place; it’s the perfect alternative to the post office.
the store owner is awesome, he can ship packages usps or fedex. he lets me know the cheapest and fastest methods of shipping and this year, packed up a box of gifts for me to send out. but most importantly he gives me back time i would have wasted and lost otherwise waiting in line at the post office that services the neighborhood.

Of all the awesome things in Northern Liberties, this is one of my absolute favorites! Mike, the store owner, embodies the very exact opposite of everything about a typical Philadelphia post office. He is always in a good mood, he is efficient without behind hurried, he’s nice to everyone, he knows who his customers are, he is extremely helpful, and he’s really knowledgeable about his industry (and clearly a devoted Phillies fan). I don’t know how he manages to do everything himself 6 days a week and keep all this up, but it is MUCH appreciated.
In addition to being able to mail anything a person could possibly mail, you can use the computer, printer, fax, and buy cards and candles.

I’ve only come here twice, once to get a set of keys made and once to fax something. But I love it. Mainly because it’s so close to me but also because there’s never a line, the guy who works there is friendly and helpful, and they just seem to have every kind of service I would need for reasonable prices. Check it out why don’t you.

KICKASS mailbox/​mail supplies store located in the Northern Liberties! Great little selection of cards, all the mailing supplies you need, and you can print things from the internet/​get keys made here.
I live in the NoLibs, but I’m an Air Force pilot stationed out of NJ. My job takes me out of country for weeks at a time, so getting packages delivered to my house took some extensive planning to ensure I’d be home. That is, until Mike opened up this store…
With a NoLibs Mailbox store box, I get all my packages delivered there; Fedex, UPS, US Post Office. I mail everything from there too, and Mike gives you the choice between the carriers, so you can choose the cost better than at your normal Post Office. He’s held onto packages for me for over a month while I was out of town, with a smile to boot!
One final, superb example: Christmas Eve, 2008 found me at a friends house on 2^nd street. Mike and his wife were open until 4 p.m. that day; a package arrived for me there just prior to closing. Mike called me and hand carried the package to my friends place as he and his family left the city for the holidays because he wanted to make sure it got to me before Christmas. That’s service.
I’m moving, and I’ll miss this place.
