I'm not one to normally post negative comments, but this experience this morning was absolutely…read moremind-blowing. You all might want to consider this as a warning. I am the CMO for a global company. I stopped in here to send a package overnight (today is Friday 3/17) for arrival on Monday (3/30) morning delivery. Precursor - Prior to that I had asked (and graciously paid for) notary services of the documents. No problem. Services rendered, services paid for. Now we get to the shipping rates. The woman pulls up rates starting at $54 dollars for April 4th delivery and spanning $272 dollars for Monday delivery by 10am. Yes, you read that right. $272 dollars for an envelope. For Monday delivery, by 10am. That's the cost of shipping a small refrigerator freight on a truck. Obviously I was shocked. Asked her how that was possible. Her response was "yeah...you have to talk to the owner Harry, he controls the prices." Well Harry...here's your chance to retort. How is it possible in any world to send an envelope weighing a quarter of a pound...overnight to Alabama...an hour and 27 minute flight away from Ocoee....and have it cost $272 dollars? By the way, the girl behind the counter tried to validate this at first with a response that was "well that's the price of shipping these days". For what? A bison to Guam via boat? C'mon. For reference, Afterwards I called Patricia over at FedEx on West Colonial, who I also do business with. I gave her the contents, the weight, the address and the shipping expectations of delivery on Monday by 10am. Her rate via FedEx? $53 dollars. FedEx...a global shipper...$53.00 for Monday morning delivery by 10am. Harry's Mail Center...$272 dollars for Monday by 3pm. In the end I took it to the post office on Hiawassee. Express Mail with tracking. Arrival Monday by 3pm. Cost? $11.28 I work in an industry where media, print and costs are marked up...usually about 11% to make profit on running a business. If you do that math...thats a 413% markup. And some bullshit. You're flagged Harry. Not sure what kind of operation you think you're running, but it will be reported.

Missed the delivery of a package that had to be signed for and instead of trying me again they sent…read moreit here. I went in as soon as I got the note (it was custom jewelry made from my mothers jewelry, as such it was irreplaceable, so I did not want it sitting in a random warehouse) There was one person in front of me being seen to and 2 people working (but only one working with that person). I still waited in line for 15+ min. When they did get to me they initially couldn't find my package. Nerve wracking. Very stressful. When I said something to the tune of "what do you mean you can't find it" clearly a little panicked, then she got the other person involved and she found it immediately...was there really a need to put me though that? So, while I did not use them of my own will, I don't think they would be my first choice as a shipper should i need one in the future.

Once she received it, she said to print the label it would be $1.93. I said no problem. She asked, are you paying cash? I said no, debit card. She says well there is a $5 minimum purchase to use that card. I said thanks and walked out. First, it's illegal for a merchant to impose a minimum purchase on debit card transactions (FS 501.0117). So they are violating state law. Second, just the idea of losing a customer over a debit card transaction shows very poor business acumen and gives reason as to why these mom and pop locations are going out of business to the likes of the majors. They offer zero value to use their establishment. I gave 2 stars as the girl was polite, but avoid if you can.

Before I knew better, I…read moreused to order everything from one of the big retailers and didn't realize how much of a rip-off it was. The owners/staff here are friendly and helpful and they have some of the best prices in town. The only downside is that they only keep certain sized boxes in stock so sometimes when you find a box on the website that you want, you'll have to special order it and wait a bit. Totally understandable though as they only have so much space to keep stuff on hand. For anyone that ships out items regularly, I highly recommend checking this place out. Even if they don't have the particular shipping box/item in stock that you're looking for, they'll definitely be able to help out and make an alternative suggestion for you or make a special order for you.

Cons: They don't regularly stock certain box sizes based on pricing, supply, and demand; they never keep 18 x 18 x 12 boxes in stock. The parking lot situation is a bit industrial, so be mindful of the trucks and adhere to the yellow markings on the ground.

Now with the tracking, its easier, if I have questions, I give them a call. My family is very happy as items are never missing or broken. Thanks to Gytree for the heads up of Laparkan now located in Tampa, so glad I do not have to drive 2 hours anymore. I recommend them for shipping anytime....Donna

It made me feel uneasy and was honestly very distracting and aggravating. When I expressed concern, the only response I got from the owner was, "He doesn't bite." While I understand some businesses are pet-friendly, I'm not sure a shipping and mailing center is the best environment for a barking dog -- especially right at the front where customers enter. It didn't feel very professional, and it definitely made the experience uncomfortable. Would recommend considering a more neutral, welcoming atmosphere for customers who may not expect or feel comfortable around animals in a business setting.
