Packages pile up and stamps run out. I handle post office errands in Lincoln, from mailing boxes to picking up held mail and parcels. If you need to mail a package, I do it myself, so you deal with one person.
What I do
I mail your packages, buy stamps and pick up what is waiting for you. You tell me what to send and where.
Pack and address the box before I arrive. If a carrier needs a form, send it with the box.
Tell me if you want the package tracked or insured. I ask the clerk about those options, and you make the call. I hand you the receipt and tracking number when I finish. I do not open or repack your boxes.
Small business owners, online sellers and older neighbors use post office errands in Lincoln to keep their mail moving.
What to send me
- What you are sending and the address it goes to.
- The carrier or service you want, if you have a preference.
- Any slip, ticket or written authorization for a pickup.
