The Mail Room
Packing, shipping, private mailboxes gifts and more. The Mail Room has it all and is the last independent mail shop in the greater Tacoma area. Whether you're sending a letter to a loved one or antique furniture to a buyer overseas we are here to help and provide you with the best customer experience in the business!

Brandon and the new owners are awesome! Great customer service, friendly personality, and super quick packing! I love coming here versus the post office because of the speedy service and reliable shipping, including overseas to APO addresses. Their prices are great and they ship using all the major carriers!
Services
Domestic Shipping and international shipping are our specialties. We offer the best prices on DHL shipping in Tacoma, and are authorized resellers of UPS, FedEx, DHL and USPS. We can ship to over 200 countries around the world and can help with shipping estimates anywhere you'd like to ship. Our high standard of professionalism and friendly service makes us the best shipping center in Tacoma.
Also known as a PMB, private mailboxes are a great way for you to receive all of your mail and packages in one place. PMB's are sold under three-month, six-month and one-year terms. We asked our current box holders why they have PMB's at The Mail Room and it really boils down to 3 core reasons: privacy, security and convenience.

This is a long overdue review of the best mail&package hold as well as printing service I've ever experienced.
Everyone who works here is kind, careful, detail oriented, and professional at all times. And they know how to celebrate holidays.
The prices are very reasonable, I almost worry if they have good enough of a revenue model to keep the business running.
I no longer have to deal with UPS/USPS and military mailroom headache. And I am so glad for it.

This place is way more fun than the post office. Even if you have to wait in line there are fabulous little things to look at. Great gift shopping for those little things that make people smile and keep you from over spending.

Note: do NOT drop Amazon returns UPS boxes off here, they can't accept them. Okay--the team at the Mail Room SLAYS. They're all about their customers! Super cute shop with quick and excellent service. I do a lot of ebay selling and bring all my stuff here for them to pack. They let me use their printer from my phone so that I can just print my ebay shipping label off right there to slap on and ship out. Thanks Mail Room, you're the best!

These folks are THE BEST!!! They packed my son's very expensive self-built computer to be sent from Washington to West Virginia with such care and diligence that they could have been shipping a newborn baby - or priceless heirloom! Also, it arrived only 5 days later, beating my son home!! I'm so far beyond impressed that words cannot tell! I'm very grateful, and will recommend them to anyone in their area. 5000 stars!! 👍💖

Brandon at the mail room personally packaged and shipped my custom built computer that i spent months, buying pieces, building, and then taking care of. From Washington state clear across the country to West Virginia for me when i needed to move back here. Not only did the computer arrive 3 days early, but it arrived in the most professional and well packaged box i have ever seen. He went above and beyond the call of duty for me and i cant not express how satasfied i am with the job that he did this close to the busiest holiday season.

This is such an awesome place with cool stuff and real nice staff. Adam was very helpful. They definitely will get more business from me. I came in very close to closing time but Adam still took his time to get me the best rate for shipping.

This place was such a pleasant experience. I needed to mail a rather large cumbersome box. They made sure the box was secure and helped choose the best shipping option. Rates are extremely high right now and we ended up using EBay to pay and print the shipping label. Which Brandon helped with that process. I will be using them for all my shipping needs in the future. Also, they were well stocked with locally made gift items. Such a cool find!! Thank you, Thank you!!!

I don't have a printer at home and needed to print out a pdf file from my work. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with answering all my questions. All I had to do was was send an email of what I needed to print, and they had it received, printed, and my transaction completed in a matter of minutes!

Overall my entire experience was faster, friendlier, and less expensive than going to any UPS or Fedex!

What's the point of checking ID for the employees at the Mail Room to give my package out to the wrong recipient? Makes no sense right?! The female employee gave my package to the wrong person. The male employee who checked my ID to verify the pick up of my package didn't notice that he was giving me the wrong package. Obviously they aren't checking and properly verifying the packages they're giving out.

These guys rock! I come here A LOT, multiple times a week. My daughter is drawn to the gum ball machine lol. This spot is my definition of moms and pops shop. I just saw a flier that their 2 year anniversary is coming up. I can't wait to see what you guys have going on! Keep up the good work!

Awesome business! The moment you walk into The Mail Room, you can feel the uniqueness of this space, with warm, friendly owners/ staff who care about offering affordable services and products. I rent a private mailbox that is priced better than anyone else on town and when I go in to check it, they remember my name. How cool is that?

This was an awesome place! I actually came here to pick something up from Offerup and loved the vibe of the place.

They have a doggie who is beyond cute and all the staff are super friendly.

There are also some cool small things displayed like leather earrings etc. I came by late so didn't have time to check things out but will definitely be back, especially that it is next to Value Village!

Thanks!

My girlfriend and I moved to a new apartment complex that didn't have their mailboxes built yet, so we had to find a mail service to receive our mail. We chose the mail room for the convenience of location, and the price was unmatched. But after being customers for a couple months, we quickly realized the atmosphere that Brandon and Brit provide in the mail room is unparalleled. I love the home town vibe at the Mail Room too. We really feel valued and have complete trust in their services. After two stops in, Brandon had my name remembered. Small things like that in a small business is what

This is a great example of a family run business. They care, know all of their customers, and are always kind whenever I come in. I had an issue with a shipment taking longer than expected, and had a mild heart attack that perhaps it didn't get shipped out (usps so tracking was harder). Brandon went above and beyond to get me info on the packages and ensure we would get to the bottom of it. The issue was with USPS and not The Mail Room. This level of personalized customer service is basically unheard of these days! Thank you for being a solid part of the community. Plus, being able to ship

We've been looking for a decent place to do our mailings. I've tried several places and finally found our favorite!!!
Finally!
The secret is out because while we were there today, the place was busy @ The Mail Room.
Besides the friendliness of the new independent owners, Brandon & his wife carry cute cards and gifts with the Northwest theme.
In addition, they sell a local photographer's photo postcards. They're lovely.
Good luck to these new owners and we wish them all the best as they embark on being the owners of the last independent ship & copy.

Great guy who owns the place! Genuine, good old fashion service! Their black lab greets you at the counter. Stoked to have a place my mail can be delivered while I'm in transition between places to live. Accepts any packages big or small. Said he'll even check if you mail if you call him before and don't don't want to come down to check. Great SERVICE!! He was $5 less per month then the UPS stores mail boxes and they don't charge a $20 application fee like the UPS store. Definitely worth my business. Great job guys!

If you value your time and customer service then this is the spot for you. Always friendly and quick. They will work with you to find the best option for shipping and packaging. Will you pay more than the post office? Yes. Will you get done in 1/100th of the time with your sanity intact? Yes. Will it feel like they actually want your business? Yes.

I have a private mailbox here, would highly recommend. Great prices, under new ownership. Brandon is outstanding and remembers your name. You can get all your packages shipped here as well for no extra charge. The vibe is totally corky Tacoma which I love. Great sense of community. Really look forward to going and getting my mail. If I ever moved away would miss it forsure.
