Pak Mail handles a bunch of different shippers, but I mainly use it for FedEx. This is a great service to use if you need to ship using customs forms, or are sending something important like visa documents to someplace that might just be finicky about how it arrives. I have not used the Pak Mail branch near West Edmonton Mall, but the guy at the Calgary Trail one knows exactly what needs to be done in terms of customs forms and obscure shipping details to ship anything anywhere and know that it will actually get there.
When my husband went to FedEx to ship something, the office was inexplicably closed. When I went directly to the FedEx shipping office, they told me that I needed to have everything all put together for them, did not know what forms to use, and could not answer my questions about details on forms. That's the opposite of what happens at Pak Mail. They know stuff that no one else knows, and make sure that this gets done so your package arrives on time.
I was surprised to see that no one had reviewed Pak Mail at Calgary Trail yet, because the place does tons of business - word has gotten around that if you need to ship something and want it sent right so that it doesn't get stuck in Seattle or something (like when I shipped directly from the FedEx office), this is the place to go.
Plus, there's a really cute Springer spaniel who hangs out down there. He loves to say hello and is very soft, which is good, because he is an irresistible petting magnet. read more
