Reduce Waste
Bring in any clean boxes and those pesky packaging peanuts to us. Our team loves to repurpose and recirculate those materials. Be sure to cover up old labels before reusing your own shipping boxes and/or bringing them to us.

Grab A Gift
Chances are you will be heading out to several gatherings with friends and family in the coming days and weeks. Sip and Ship has carefully curated local gifts to show your gratitude wherever you go.
