Services
Mail-Pak Your Box Store is an independently owned and operated packing, shipping and business services center located in McAllen, TX. We are professionally trained experts and members of the McAllen community who are dedicated to providing Super-Star Customer care in a convenient, efficient and friendly environment.
Are you tired of trying to figure how to pack that special item so it arrives in one piece? You have to find the right box size, hunt down the bubble-wrap, packing peanuts, tape, etc. It's time consuming, expensive, and a major inconvenience (and you may not pack it properly). Proper packing is both a science and an art.
Finding a Notary Public in McAllen, TX whenever you need one has been a challenge-until now. Our on-site Notary professionals will handle your sensitive documents quickly, accurately and according to legal requirements, so you'll be secure knowing that "all the T's were crossed and I's dotted". Every Mail-Pak employee is a Notary Public, so when the store is open, Notary service is available!
Receiving mail and packages at your home or business can be challenging (and potentially risky) for a number of reasons. Identity thieves can find a treasure-trove of information about you by stealing letters directly from your home mailbox.

UPS, FedEx, DHL and the United States Postal Service often leave packages on your porch or doorstep - making it easy for thieves to steal them - package theft like this is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the US.How many times have you been waiting for an important letter or package and find out the driver did not deliver it because he needed your signature - but you were at work or out shopping?
Anyone who's purchased high-school and college textbooks knows how expensive they are, so when the class is complete, it seems like a waste to let the books collect dust. Gently used textbooks are in high demand, but it's a challenge to find someone who wants the books you have. Mail-Pak Your Box Store buys textbooks from students and residents of the Rio Grande Valley for cash-no online selling or waiting for your money.

You know, the attendant was polite, but she was not knowledgeable at all. The other so called manager did not address me, stood their as stoic as can be, while her attendant explained crazy regulations (private business) about opening the box to take photos for insurance. In addition, she stated I had to have a receipt that verified the value; the value of the item has gone up since I purchased it. The funny thing is collectibles, antiques, and things of good value go up in price and therefore derail their "we only insure things with a verified receipt." So, a purchase receipt is void in this case

I have been receiving my mail, sending packages and notarizing my documents for about 10 years now. The staff is helpful and cheerful. I've never had an issue, and the staff has always gone the extra mile to solve my issues. I would highly recommend, and happily renew my mailbox every year.

Edit (June 3rd): Employees not wearing masks during a pandemic. This is unacceptable.
First time using this service and they told me my package hadn't arrived when it had. On the second trip back after a phone call I found out the employee who couldn't find my package with my ID in hand was the manager. What are you gonna do? Go somewhere else, that's what.

Went today to have some documents notarized. There are instructions on these documents explaining that the witness to the signatures must not be a relative or someone who knows the party. The notary there gave the document for my wife to sign. By the time I realized she was signing the document it was too late. I told the notary that it could not be a family member, and because of her lack of professionalism I was going to have to go back home, reprint the document, and then go back to the store to finish the notarization. The employee offered no apologies for her oversight, in fact she hardly

Never again! I went to Quips and Quotes to ship a box I had sold on ebay yesterday but they were closed, so I saw The Mail Pak store next door and thought "hey that's convenient." So I stopped in and shipped my package through them. I get home and look at the shipping charge and it's triple the average cost through the Post office. I believe in making a profit but triple the average is over the top. My elders used to say "You can shear a sheep many times, but you can only butcher it once!" Never again Mail Pak!

I came in to get 50 copies and was told they charge 10 cents per copy. I asked for 50 copies total. I then asked the lady who helped me if she could fit two flyers on one page to which she said yes and proceeded to make the copies. At some point she looked at the copy machine and said she accidentally pushed 100 but that it was OK and she would… only charge me for the 50. I told her she could cancel the job, which she did but it had already gone over 7 copies. I asked her if she could cut them and she said yes. I then went to another lady to pay and the first lady who helped me with the

I went yesterday late morning to mail out some items and a letter to a friend of mine. I came in very unprepared. I encountered a young man named Oliver who was very helpful in picking out the appropriate sized insulated envelope and helping me find the most affordable type of shipping that was also expedient. The gentleman was very professional and very friendly, I am used to a different kind of experience at the USPS office. Highly recommend this establishment, I had no idea they offer alot of different services.

The worst customer service ever. My 80 year old mother went by during business hours to follow up on lost package. When owner/employee saw her coming, he locked the door. She was not allowed to enter. Claudia, business owner, told both my mom and I that she had put a trace on lost item and would call with information. She did not call as promised so my mom put herself at risk and decided to visit in person. Sadly, she was denied access. Item was not delivered. Expensive plus horrible service. No thank you. NEVER AGAIN

I have been doing business with Mail Pak for YEARS, and there's a reason I keep going back! They have an excellent system for shipping packages and for UPS returns, providing me with a receipt so I have proof of the return. The staff is friendly and efficient.

The staff is always very friendly and helpful. I have always found good answers for my questions . If I need to send something from USPS, or FedEX, or UPS I can do it from here. And if you need a private PO Box they also have those available. AND if you need to stop at Barnes and Noble for a Starbuck's coffee that's just a short walk!

I have used this business to mail packages, print pictures, send faxes, buy postage, etc. The staff is very friendly and professional, and everyone from the owner Ray Norton to all the employees know you by name. All the info is stored in the system which makes it very practical. I will never go to other place or the post office.

Zero stars review. Spent money on notarizing documents and faxing them on Thursday. Checked today on Monday with the recipient and was told that my loan request will be cancelled because there was a white vertical going through and obliterating some of my bank account numbers. I was told to start the process again because I was faxing from a dirty fax machine that needs to be serviced. I called and was told that a manager will be calling me back. After awhile and no call, I drove to the store and walked into a meeting that consisted of the entire staff hovering around the fax machine used to fax

It is convenient stamps are priced at face value but....i was going to ship a pkg ups which turned out it was going to be 30 bucks i expected less. The lady told me they have to make a profit. I took it to the ups store and it was almost half. Thats a big mark up. Also you can go a few doors down to quips& quotes where they have an actual us post office. The business is family owned but some of them are not very friendly some rude. They should put people in who know how to smile. Overpriced mr norton.

If I could give ZERO stars--I definitely would. I have utilized this location several times to send items back to my family. In essence, I have spent close to $300-400 within the last two years.
Two weeks ago, I sent two small documents to two different locations. Fast forward two weeks later, and neither has made it to their destinations.
Upon calling and speaking with an employee there, she offered to have the "manager" call me to rectify the situation. Three hours later, Ray Norton (the owner) called me. Not only did Mr. Norton call me with an attitude and informing me what "I should have
