We recently needed to ship some odd shaped items. Valentine was so helpful and made the process easy. I also had a document notarized. I love this is a one-stop shop for me! read more

The staff is super friendly - and the shipping services are pretty good so if you are looking to ship then they are your people. I needed some printing done and wanted to support a local business - but they definitely messed up my order. I had samples of what I was looking for, sent the PDF and was told at least 1 set of cards may be ready in the morning - I was trying to be flexible since it was a pretty last minute order. There seemed to be no communication between the evening and the morning shift - they weren't aware of the urgency of my order or what I was looking for. The prints were printed in a smaller size than what was on the file and was not printed double sided at all. I think that was more the fault of the evening crew and lack of communication. I will say when I was trying to get them in the morning - Alexa I believe her name was - was very apologetic and noted it should have been done earlier so I appreciated that and she did give me some paperclips so I could clip the card's 2 sides together - so I appreciated they did what they could for the staff they had and knowledge at least in the morning with the printing already wrong. But I feel like I have to take off stars for not printing something doubled sided I had asked for, had a sample of to show and I think it was obvious in the file: But ya - I should just do shipping here personally. read more

The best mailbox service in Seattle: Reliable, responsive, and professional. Also, very close to the Piroshky place so you can pick up your mail and get a great snack. I love having the excuse to regularly go to the Market and visit Wanderer's. It looks and smells comfortingly old timey in there and I love the sound that the creaky old hardwood floor makes. However, they still take care of all modern postal needs at the same they offer old fashioned service where the helpful operators know their customers by sight. By using Wanderer's, I have peace of mind knowing that my deliveries aren't sitting in the lobby of my building waiting for thieves to bust the door open (again) or that my lousy USPS carrier can't pretend they tried to deliver a packages but I wasn't there to sign for it. It is also very helpful when traveling to be able to call or email to check on the status of things or have certain items forwarded. Wanderer's is so worth the small monthly fee to be able to have reliable mail service and be able to call or email to ask what I have there waiting to be picked up. read more

I bought some junk from Starbucks next door and didn't want to lug it around town or pack it in my luggage. This place is super convenient and right in the middle of all the crap sold at Pike Place. You just drop in, get your garbage packed up, and they ship it via USPS, FedEx, or UPS. Dude was super friendly and helpful. This place made my vacation a lot easier, I recommend if you don't want to bogged down with souvenirs while you're out touristing away! read more

Excellent full service mail center. They copied and packaged several hundred pages of information to be sent to the county, registered, signature required. The county lost everything and Wanderers had all the detailed mailing information stored on their computer that I used to send the county to prove receipt. The place is a gem and nicely located next to fresh goodies and flowers at Pike Market. read more

I've been using Wanderer's Mail Service in Seattle for the past several years. I live overseas and I rely on Josh and other staff members to receive my mail, inform me of any important mail arrivals, and to forward my mail to my home overseas. They also provide a scanning service used to email important letters to me directly. Wanderer's has proven to be an affordable, excellent, reliable, and responsive service provider. I highly recommend them for all of your mailing needs. They have an extensive list of services and you should contact them to experience their services first hand! Wanderer's is located in Seattle at 1916 Pike Place, Suite 12.....near Pikes Market. Their website has more information. Check them out! read more

Wanderer's is a Godsend for anyone who lives/works near the Market. Gone are the days of hauling junk I've sold on eBay up to the post office on 3rd Ave. Now, I bring my items here for the friendly folks to pack and ship and I have the option of USPS, FedEx or UPS as carriers. Also, I save time sending packages here because your return address is saved in their system for quick retrieval. If I miss the pick-up time for the outgoing mailbox at work, I can just head to Wanderer's before 5:30PM. They've also got a couple computers for Internet access and a copier. Also, the walls are lined with event posters -if you happen to see one you like, you can put your name on a list and they will contact you when they take it down. It would be great if they could sell postal money orders, but alas, the USPS is the only place to get them when I need to send payment to a seller who doesn't have a Paypal account -pfft, noobs. read more

Wanderers' Mail Services - Shipping Centers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We just started using Wanderer's and wow what a horrible experience it has been thus far. The employee who works Saturday and Friday, at least today, is highly dismissive and unhelpful. I recommend against using Wanderer's for any type of service. Wanderer's has damaged 1/3 of the mail they have handled for us. Additionally, they have lost articles of mail and subsequently say sorry can't find it, move along, get out of the store. If I could give these guys zero stars I would. They'll insist none of this is their fault, but it is and they adamantly refuse to address the problems in their company causing this. Attached is evidence of Wanderer's disregard for mail. I should note we used another service for close to a decade with no issues. We had to switch to Wanderer's to maintain a local address. Sadly, we're on the hunt for another mail service who doesn't suck. read more

Wanderers' Mail Services - Consistent mistreatment of mail at Wanderer's. - Shipping Centers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

They wouldn't accept my perfectly fine packaging and instead insisted that I buy their packaging materials. I was in a pinch to ship so I had no choice. I wouldn't recommend this place over a Pakmail, UPS or FedEx location. Seems like they survive on simply being in Pike Place Market. There's a FedEx on 2nd not too far away, or the USPS on lower queen anne. [I noticed that my review is not showing up in the tally, and if I log out it doesn't show up at all. This makes me think that Yelp does some strange behind the scenes things with the reviews and ratings, which kind of invalidates the whole premise of the site. That really sucks, because I've been growing fond of Yelp!] Update 2: yep, there it is again, doesn't recognize my review in the tally and when I log out mine doesn't show up. I wonder if Wanderer's Mail Service has a backroom deal with Yelp or something. Free shipping for all Yelp employees? read more

Working with Wanderers' may just be the best experience I've had with any service-based company, anywhere. I needed two (very important) framed pieces of artwork packaged carefully and sent, in a rush, across the country. The problem? The artwork was in Seattle and I was NOT! The team at Wanderers' received the items from a courier, packaged them with care and sent them out in an unbelievably timely manner. All the while, calling and emailing me with prompt updates. For that, my tends-to-stress-over-every-little-detail self thanks them! Steve and Josh at Wanderers' have certainly proved the old saying, "if you need something done right, do it yourself" wrong. If you need something packaged and/or shipped, these are the guys for you! read more

The man in the store packaged my item on the spot, filled out the shipping info with me and sent it out! Quick and painless.

This guy working was awesome. He was calm, patient and super understanding. I was sending stuff back to my ex and in a pissy mood. He was all smiles. He made recommendations for how to ship it and which would be the most cost effective. I totally appreciated his patience because I was a nightmare. read more

this place allows you to surf by the 15 min increments, mail or ship stuff and even print out different things. Ship via USPS, UPS or FedEx. You can even fax. The man behind the counter was awesome. He knew his regulars and was ever understanding of our needs. Good person to go back when we need. read more

Wanderers' Mail Services - Nestled inside right next to Souk and Chocolate Factory - Shipping Centers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is great, as are the guys who work there. I don't get the negative reviews but I did notice they seemed to be from people shipping things rather than those who are mostly receivers. I've been in line to pickup behind a shipper multiple times and have only seen the customer get rude and impatient. Of course they're going to charge more than a straight FedEx/USPS/UPS shipment! If you want those prices than you should go stand in line at one of those shippers dedicated store fronts. It's a business, to make money. Not a hard concept to grasp. From my experience, if they got shitty with you, you got shitty with them first. They've never treated me with anything but courtesy. Wanderers is a great service! But... parking sucks! Also, during tourist season you have to deal with all that comes with it to navigate your way there. Totally not their fault and out of their scope of control. Luckily I've found a lesser traveled shortcut, which I won't divulge. read more

Good for sending off stuff and getting stamps and stuff, but I feel like the guy could have been a tad bit more pleasant. 2 1/2 stars ish.

What is with the US Postal Service nowadays? Try getting a PO Nox on Seattle and it's like waiting for an apartment in Manhattan - you have to look in the obituaries for one. But then there's Wanderer's Mail Service: boxes available, the clerk fetches it, and all the courtesy err used top expect from USPS is given by the clerk, and then some. And, as if that is nit enough reason to use their services, they are right in Pike Place Market just a couple blocks away from all the buses. read more

Amazingly helpful small, local business situated in the heart of Pike's Market. Steve and Josh are the nicest two guys that will ever help you with your shipping needs. If you suggest sending USPS, thinking it might be the most affordable, based on weight and package size, they might know that Fed Ex or UPS happens to be cheaper, something they'll always let you know. When you find some artisan goodies during your trip to Seattle, they'll expertly package and ship your items back to your hometown. Need a stamp? They'll sell you one little stamp. Need to ship $500 worth of Beecher's cheese? They'll do that, too. Very handy and helpful place. read more

WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE!! As a small business working with Amazon, we needed a shipper to send to our location in Alaska. We found Wanderers online and contacted them. From the start, our experience was positive and professional. Communication was solid and timely and at each step they guided me on our progress. Cost was very reasonable and overall we paid a fair fee. (if not better than any other group I checked on) Josh was on point from our first contact. I am extremely pleased with this transaction and will not hesitate to contact Josh again when our needs warrant a shipper! read more

I've been using Wanders' Mail Services for close onto a year now and the service you get from this team is the best out there. I've particularly recently worked with Josh and he is always ready to help and give great advise. It's such a please to work with real people in a real world, not with a computer the spits out the answer you're not looking for, or an incompetent person working off a script giving ridiculous and stupid information. These guys are a breath of fresh air and I'm so glad to have them as my primary trusted mail services partner. Well done chaps! read more

My experiences here have always been positive and pleasant here. The price is reasonable and expedient. The information revive are always direct and informative. read more

Clean, affordable with a friendly, efficient staff. Wanderer's is a tiny place and could be easily missed so get those eyes open because it's a great find for anyone living, working or visiting the Pike Place Market area. The first day I went there I was planning to go to UPS then to a copy shop, then to the Post Office and instead I quickly got all my errands done at Wanderer's. TIP: They sell boxes so if you're a shophappy tourist you can ship your loot home! Located just inside the 1916 building, on the right (if you enter off Pike Place) about 15 feet from the door. read more

This place is ridiculous. So first the mark-up they charge is criminal. They have their own computer program (which they show you rates on as if it's official) which is 100% markup from fedex, ups, and usps pricings. I ship for my business and quote things online, if I need a late day shipment I go there and they want to charge at least TWICE AS MUCH. Then they have an attitude. They like to charge you to re-pack which means they charge you for materials( which are obscenely marked up) to get things into smaller packages to ship cheaper. They misrepresent things and when you call them on it they get indignant. This is a highway robbery shipper so go elsewhere and forget the convenient location. I can drive to Lake Union Mail in Eastlake and still save 50% of time and money by dealing with a shipping center with integrity. read more

I adore these guys. Everyone who works there is so nice and helpful....it makes me never want to step foot in a post office again. They make sending packages so flippin' easy for you its insane. read more

I sent 2 small packages each filled with 5 wedding invites (all 1oz) to the philippines, it cost me $58. I asked about the price and they just kept saying thats just what it cost. I was shocked, but had never sent anything there before so I took their word for it. It took 2 months for the package to get there. Apparently it was insured and registered and every other extra service imaginable tacked on. No one asked me, they just did it. Im furious that with all that it took 2 MONTHS to get there. There were a few I sent individually, first class and they made it there within 2 weeks. On top of that I went back a second time to mail more invites individually and domestically and they told me each 1oz letter was actually 3oz and said I needed $0.60-$0.80 postage per invite. Luckily I decided to not mail the rest through them. They turned out to only need a forever stamp. If you're going to upcharge just say so, stop lying to people. read more

I used this service for a year as I traveled around the world. They (Steve) did everything they said they and then MORE. Great service at a very fair price. Twice during the year I gave instructions to trash pieces of mail, only to receive an email from Steve asking if I really wanted to destroy a check and an envelope that likely contained health insurance benefits cards. Both times Steve was right and saved me. You could not expect a service to be this thoughtful and to take unexpected initiative, but they just acted in my best interest. I would recommend Wanderer's to anyone needing a service to handle incoming mail. read more

For perhaps the best customer service in Seattle, look no further than Wanderers'. Josh and Steve's courtesy and flexibility is a refreshing alternative to UPS Store outlets. read more

I had my mail sent here and handled by Wanderers' for years. If for any reason, you are looking for a PO Box alternative, this is the way to go. Excellent service - reasonable prices - overall, the type of people I love giving my money to. read more

Excellent customer service!! If you are looking for a shipping center to help you ship a package, they are really hard to beat. Josh was super! Thanks so much!! read more

We needed a place to hold our mail during a cross-country trip to Seattle. These are the nicest, most helpful and accommodating people you could ever ask for. Now that we are settled, we are going to keep getting our mail there because we like it so much. Highly recommend!! read more

If I knew my superheroes well enough, I would be able to say which ones Josh and Steve remind me of. Oh my gosh, they are Angels. I know that I can depend on them. I trust them both always to give me their best. Here are some examples of their awesomeness. I needed my mail sent to me in Alaska. I did not think to tell them to send it to me with a tracking number. They are both so awesomely efficient, when I did not receive it as quickly as I thought I should, thanks to their genius, I simply looked up my tracking number to learn that they would need all the way until Friday (which of course they told me that it would take up to Friday, but usually mail arrives much quicker) Another time, I accidentally dropped some mailing peanuts on the ground, and started to pick them up; Josh told me that he would clean up my mess. I am living a life that it "out of the box". Josh and Steve are a significant support in my ability to manage the business affairs of my life. It is hard for me to put into words what I want to say so that I will say it this way (how can I make heart emojis????) read more

Top notch mail service. I've used them for years for myself and my company, and I have nothing but great things to say about Wanderers. I've also visited them in person, and the people that work there are very nice. read more

Wanderers is great ! ! I 've been a a customer for nearly a decade, Steve & Josh are awesome and I could'nt ask more as far as service goes. If your away from as home often as I am, its great to have a place that looks after your mail and sends you an email when something important arrives. Plus picking up my mail gives me a great excuse to go to the market. read more

We highly recommend Wanderers'! We could not have traveled extensively without their mailbox services. They came to the rescue when our credit cards needed to be replaced because of fraudulent use, FedExing them to us. They provided email updates that helped us know when to have a batch of mail sent to meet up with us. They even emailed us confirmation codes and such upon request. Their prices for these services were fair, considering the timeliness and attention to detail provided, not to mention the friendly and professional service provided by Josh and Steve. We would absolutely do business with them again in the future. read more

I have been using Wanderer's for about three years and I love them! They are affordable, very friendly, always remember my name, and always notify me when my packages arrive. I even watched them be extremely nice and accommodating to the jerk that left them the 1 star review for "mishandling mail." The packages were damaged during shipping, which is not Wanderer's fault, despite the claims of the man making us all wait to get our mail while he repeatedly and rudely misdirected blame at the staff. Ill also add that this was the only time I've had to wait longer than about a minute to get my mail. They're so speedy! Highly recommend! read more
