Virtual Mailbox Services at Sip and Ship Make Following Your Passions Possible

Saving albatrosses

Albatross scientist Chris Jordan , is one of our virtual customers who has been living abroad in Chile to study this threatened species. As his home office, virtual mailbox and business support, Sip and Ship enables him to continue his work towards protecting and preserving these incredible birds by helping from afar.
Available 24/7 Sip and Ship responds to any requests through a simple email conversation. Chris lets us know what he needs and when he needs it, and we make it happen! We’ve shipped food supplies and equipment to him on a mountain top while he stayed perched in one spot protecting nesting chicks. This week we will ship him his new debit card along with a restocked back pack of climbing gear to Chile. The Sip and Ship team takes pride in knowing we are the linchpin to him and his work. Keeping a watchful eye on his affairs stateside, communicating routinely and packing each individual item he needs with care so that he gets what he needs efficiently and safely - no matter how far the journey.

We look forward to exploring ways to best support you and your life’s work.
