I came in to mail a box and was treated rudely. I filed out their form and then had to come back in to ask them how I would get the FedEx tracking number. They had forgotten to take my email address. And again the person was quite rude and unhelpful. Ill just go straight to FedEx or Walgreens next time

I would recommend Pak Mail to EVERYONE! I ship thousands of parcels daily with my work, and was beyond impressed with Pak Mails customer service and care. The owner Gill is a GEM! He was so helpful to our family and friends when needing to move our daughter out of the dorm in a rush. He went above and beyond and showed the true definition of caring in todays environment!! So much better than the UPS Store who failed to show the same service. I would give Gill and his staff 10 stars if I could.

Their packing and shipping service is not cheap but they did do an excellent job with some artwork we shipped across country for Christmas gifts. Everything arrived in perfect condition and on time.

Great service, great people. Todd and Steve and the rest of the staff are super knowledgeable, efficient, trustworthy and friendly. I use this Pak Mail location for all of my shipping needs!

We shipped an IPhone to India for my brother who lost his. Pack mail stayed on top of the communication and follow up the entire time! The process from Pak mail was excellent, Customs in India..., horrible! Eventually, the phone was sent back to US and mailed to NYC. Don’t try to ship phones, especially to foreign countries, big gamble. Besides some shipping costs, got the phone back and a learning experience!

Surely the nicest and most expert shippers in Boulder! Competent, quick, friendly, and widely knowledgeable -- I wouldnt use anyone else to ship. Great prices and great service!

I have used Pak Mail for years. They are very quick, efficient and have great tracking info. They can pack any sized object and find the best way to reach the desired location.

Always friendly and helpful. Small shop but they have consistently been able to help me with my shipping needs. For a small fee, they will completely pack and mail your item for you. I rented a mailbox here when I first moved to Boulder as well.

This place was fantastic at helping me. They went way out of their way to make sure my boxes went out on time when I moved out of CO. I did quite a bit of business with them when I lived in Boulder (recently moved away). They were always very helpful and informed. I would highly recommend!

My Go-To Place for Mailing Packages! These guys are great. Long-time in the business, knowledgeable, and non-corporate! They quickly give me my best option for what I need to get done. Cant recommend them enough!

Review №12

These guys are great! I had used another mail receiving facility before, but switched because of untrained student staff and poor service. Pak Mail run by Gil Karpel and crew is great. The same employees have been there for years, no mistakes are made and they know who I am every time I walk through the door. They are so good that when I moved away from Boulder to two homes in different states I chose to continue receiving my mail at Pak Mail Boulder. They sort through and forward the most relevant mail to me at regular intervals. Thats exceptional service! Highly recommended.

The Pak Mail Boulder store near McGuckins is the only mailing service I use. Why? Because theyre locally owned and theyve successfully sent many glass-framed paintings for me. Nothing has ever been lost or broken, and thats over decades of being a customer. They know me, and I love going over there! Theyre the best.

I have used Pak Mail for many years and have had only the best of experiences with them. I am an art dealer and I ship art all over the country and thanks to Pak Mail with absolute success! Never a problem, always professional!

Review №15

Ive used Pak Mail for years, and Ive always had excellent, friendly service. I had a mail box for some time, and I loved the fact that I could access it even during off-hours. Most times I pack my own boxes for shipping, but when items have been too cumbersome, I knew I could drop them off and knew theyd safely packed and shipped. I couldnt ask for a more convenient location with easy parking too. I highly recommend Pak Mail for all your shipping needs.

Review №16

Extremely help and knowledgeable staff. Was greeted with a warm welcome and felt that my odd shaped items- an antique globe and antique weather thing- were in good hands for shipping. When they arrived they were packed excellently and were shipped with fragile care. Also, very fairly priced.

Review №18

The manager was very knowledgeable about international shipping and helped me to get a package through customs easily. Earlier in the year I had many problems with getting packages sent through customs when i attempted to use FedEx and they could never really tell me why those packages were getting held (one was returned before I ever had a chance to respond and they charged me for the return trip, over $1,000 for no service rendered!). The staff at Pak Mail was able to tell me why my packages were held and returned after I explained the situation at FedEx (something no employee at FedEx was able to explain, not even when i called the international department). Also, it cost me hundreds less than FedEx, which essentially gave me no customer service at all! I will always go to Pak Mail from now on, even if they end up using FedEx because they actually know what they are doing!

Ive shipped things at Pak Mail for years. The guys in there are always cheery, friendly, and trying to get me the best price. It seems that a steady stream of patrons are using the place, but I never have much of a wait. Plus, theyre often playing some great ol tunes in there, and are ready for a short and interesting chat while theyre getting work done. A pleasure!

I was shipping international, and they took the time to make sure all data was 100% correct for delivery to the country I was shipping. They even found an error just prior to shipment and called me to correct. I really felt like they were on my team. I will try and ship with them from not on.

Review №26

Like the best kind of time travel.Real people doing a job they know expertly right there in front of you.Got questions? Get answers.But human answers. Not an app. Or an ‘A-bloody-I’ robot guessing what it thinks you need or want to hear. Not indistinct. Not cold. Quite the opposite: unique. And these days rarer. Precious!Characters.Only the necessary words. Maybe quips. Or steadfast calm: All good here because rain or shine Pakmail forever means:Quick-fire, practised, smooth, bolt-action, hit-the-target, reassure you, it’ll all be fine, no muss no fuss, efficiency; all whilst feeling like going to Cheers for a beer.Better still. Have a mailbox there for long enough like me - and it gets to feel like a tiny home away from home - where everybody knows your name.Thanks guys - and all the very Best.

I have shipped many times with Pak Mail in Boulder and have always been happy with the results. Never had to worry - and when it comes to artwork which is part of my business, packaging with care could not be more important. Thank you Pak Mail!! Trudi

Pak Mail in Boulder is the BEST place to go for all your packing and shipping needs. I began using them back in late 80s sending stuff down to the US Virgin Islands and I have always received fast and knowledgeable service.Recently a box was damaged in transit - most likely by being dropped on its corner by the carrier. Owner Gil Karpel handled the situation expertly and I received my insurance reimbursement quickly. Stuff happens but I will nevertheless absolutely to continue to use Pak Mail in the future!

Had last minute enlargements for a funeral and some items we had to ship back home. Pak Mail staff helped us get the enlargements right, adjusting color and cropping to make everything perfect. The shipping was a breeze too. They showed us the best value for the packages we sent, helped with getting the right packing, and everything arrived safely. I would use them again next time I am in Boulder.

Review №33

Super friendly and efficient staff and services at Pak Mail are awesome! Shipping a variety of stuff (even larger items) out in a college student-driven town is their specialty and they will not disappoint! They also will receive packages, notify the recipient, and keep them safely until picked up—we utilized this service a lot for college care packages that would not fit in tiny apartment mailboxes. I highly recommend!

I have been taking packages to this Pak Mail for at least 10 years. Their service is very professional and efficient. You can send via any service, including the USPO with no waiting in the long PO lines. You can also get a wide variety of packaging materials and help to package the contents if you need it.

I first shipped a package with Pack Mail because of their convenient location next to McGuckin Hardware. After that great first experience, Ive returned time and time again. I know nothing about shipping methods and companies, so I really appreciate that I can tell them my parameters (when the package needs to arrive, or how much Im willing to spend) and they come up with the best solution.

Review №99

If I could give them ZERO stars I would! My husband mailed a present and someone from their store cut open the box, took out the Contents and mailed us a damn empty box!!!! I know it was someone from their store because the shipping label they placed down on it wasn’t broken so it had to be opened prior to them shipping it out! They even wrapped it back up with their own tape which made it obvious. Do not trust this place!!!!Edit to respond to owner: It was 100% your store. You need to re-evaluate the employees that work for you!!
