The UPS Store

You know you have found a competent shipping solution when it is something you do not even have to think about. You show up, your needs a met, and you do not give it a second thought when the need arrises for such services again. This adequately describes my relationship with this particular UPS store.
I am an occasional Ebay seller, and I also often send packages of goodies home to the parents, and I have always been dealt with quickly and courteously. They also provide handy service if you are, like me, not a fan of trying to package items yourself. Yeah, I suck, and my wrapping skills at Xmas time are about on the same level.
You can bring virtually any shaped item here and they will have it hooked up and damage proof in no time (though this service is obviously more expensive). If anything, it is almost overkill as far as packaging. My parents have reporter back to me that the package could likely be dropped from the top of the Empire State Building and the contents would still arrive intact. Plus, My father, I think even at his age, enjoys snapping the bubble wrap.
