After completing errands, you deserve a reward. Treat yourself at Sip and Ship!

​Good morning, friends! We hope this newsletter finds you soaking up the first sacred moments of another Seattle summer. School’s out and we’ve collectively entered another season of sunshine and good times. Regardless of the increased endorphins, high spirits, and vacation mindsets, there’s still plenty of work that needs to get done, and done at Sip and Ship with ease. Don’t let lengthy to-do lists (or long lines at the post office) squander special summer moments. Sip and Ship is here as your one-stop-shop to help optimize your time and capacity for fun!


Sending faxes, notarizing documents, and shipping packages is enjoyable when paired with our new shortbread cookies. The house-made buttercream frosting on top is the perfect shade of pink to brighten your day, made possible by adding crushed strawberries to mix. Because at Sip and Ship, we are dedicated to the details- putting consistent effort and thought into each task so you don’t have to.


Sign up for our convenient package receiving services and say goodbye to worrying about stolen mail. With Sip and Ship’s package receiving service, you’ll get a business address to ship your packages to and access to them anytime during our business hours. You’ll also receive email notifications when your package has been delivered, which means no more wasted time trying to track them down or trips to the post office only to find nothing there. Sign up today and start making your life a whole lot easier.


Sip and Ship is also a drop-off location for pre-paid package returns: any carrier, any time during our normal business hours. Whether you’re sending back a Nuuly rental or used Nespresso pods, we’re here to help you print labels and tape up any packages. Our package receiving services are also a life-saver for those who are in need of a secure drop-off location. Coffee is optional but smiles and peace of mind are always a part of the experience here. Come experience it for yourself!

P.S. The Seattle Book Club is having a pop-up at our Greenwood store on Saturday morning and you’re invited! Come support this lovely small business that is passionate about rehoming unused books. Not only is Seattle Book Club helping reduce waste and sustainable practices, it’s also making reading more accessible through offering affordable texts. Enjoy $1 off your beverage of choice with the purchase of a book by showing your venmo confirmation to the barista.
