As Netflix prepares to send its final red envelope , we’ve been reflecting on the impact that continues to reverberate from this entrepreneurial success story. A lot has changed over the past 25 years; from becoming one of the biggest customers at the U.S. Postal Service to paving the way for the streaming services we all know and love today.

Trends come and go, technologies advance, and forms of communication shift. As we plunge forward into the future one constant remains; the importance of reliable mailing services.

Before the ease of a phone call, text, or email, we relied on mail to share information with one another. While that is no longer the case in today’s world we are now shipping packages and documents more than ever. Mail will never go out of style because humans need to send:

  • Passports
  • Legal and time-sensitive paperwork
  • Online shopping returns
  • Care packages
  • Cards to loved ones
  • Historical artifacts and memorabilia
  • Gifts to honor milestone celebrations
  • Wedding invitations and more!


The list goes on and the fact firmly remains: reliable shipping services are paramount and
Sip and Ship is proud to be the conduit that keeps people, families, and businesses moving forward in the right direction.
Fun fact: Beatlejuice was the first DVD Netflix shipped in 1998. What movies do you remember renting from Netflix? Share with us in-store while sipping a brown butter toffee latte , reply to this email or leave a comment below!
