I came here to get my I9 verification and Steve was so helpful! I was having some difficulty but he went beyond to help me get my verification. Truly an amazing person, highly recommend!!

There's a special, calm magic here in this place at the heart of Market Street. At once a coffee bar and newsstand, shipping center and gift shop, it feels like both a local trading post and community hub. The kind of spot where you can get things done (like sending packages or notarizing documents) or simply watch the world go by while lingering over coffee and a newspaper. Bliss.

Every city should have a Sip and Ship! I needed to ship a bulky piece of framed art recently, and USPS, UPS, and the custom framing store I called had no idea how to help me with a box that would fit it. Not only did Sip and Ship actually have art boxes, they packed and shipped it for me (fair warning, though, this was NOT a cheap service!) They were also willing to help me acquire some other oddly-sized boxes for an upcoming move across the country. Thank you!

Ballard Sip and Ship is a wonderful neighborhood establishment. Of course it is a place to meet any shipping needs but it is so much more. They coffee and pastries are amazing. The curation of wonderful gifts makes it a breeze to shop for birthdays, holidays, or just a little something to deliver as a "thinking of you" gift. But probably my favorite thing about Sip and Ship is the amazing owners and staff. There is always a friendly smile, a helpful suggestion, and everyone always goes way above and beyond. Support this local shop - they are awesome!

Sip & Ship is a first-rate business run by longtime local owners, with a top-notch staff that goes above and beyond to provide great mailbox and shipping services — and excellent coffee! — to their customers. I have been a customer of Sip & Ship in Ballard for more than a decade, using both shipping and (more recently) mailbox services. I especially appreciate the fact that I can bring in something that I need to have shipped, hand it over, and know that it will be packaged and shipped with a great deal of competence and care, using whichever shipping or mailing service matches my needs for delivery time and cost. It's also a great place to pick up a card or gift and mail it on the spot. They are true professionals, and an asset to the community.

This store is a neighborhood treasure... actually a 2 neighborhood treasure (needed both locations). Just love, love love these people. At some point or another, we've used just about all their mailing and professional services... plus had more than a few of their delicious cookies. Trusted them with both time sensitive and sensitive stuff (important/valuable to us)... even while traveling... and they ALWAYS come through in a way you that you can count on AND doesn't make you feel like a number. Never write reviews, but we can't recommend the Sip and Ship enough.

Ever had that doubt? What if it was cheaper to send via USPS or what if that other service got there faster? This place solves the question because you can COMPARE prices & speed, buy a local item to throw in with your package to aunt Barbara, & get a cappuccino while you're doing it. Pretty great.

Wish I visited sooner! I had to ship six large boxes because I was moving out of Seattle. I had a ton of questions, and the Sip and Ship Ballard team was super transparent and accommodating in making it a smooth experience. I wasn't in a rush to receive the boxes, but 5/6 boxes arrived to my intended destination in great condition within two days, with the 6th box scheduled to arrive tomorrow. It also ended up costing me a couple hundred dollars less than I expected. Thanks for the help!

Just a treasure of a place! When we moved out of Seattle one of the things we really missed was Sip and Ship! So much better than any combination of FedEx UPS and USPS! Really a gem.

It is a great store with helpful workers, but please avoid if you have urgent shipping needs. I went there on Saturday, and I had a very urgent shipment to SF. I told them over and over that I had a very urgent shipment, I did not care how much it would cost as long as I used the fastest service. They told me that the USPS service I bought would ensure my package would get to SF on Monday. My envelope was not picked up until MONDAY EVENING from the store, and it made it to SF on Wednesday. Now, I understand if USPS had a delay — there is nothing they could do about that. But they should have known my package would not be picked up until Monday evening, and I am very angry. I wish I just went to a UPS store instead. They presumably costed me to miss a very important work meeting because my package had visa application materials.
