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.

I went there to get some documents notarized today and the notary wouldn't do it because the fields for notary info were wrong. I told her she could just write it in the ample space I left for the notary info, but she said she was uncomfortable doing that. This is the same document I've gotten notarized before for my kids to travel internationally with their grandmother. It's the exact same document, just with different dates. I've even gotten it notarized at this exact same place with a different notary. After she refused, I told her we could just take it somewhere else. She told me they probably won't do it either. We went to The Mailbox where they notarized it without issue.

I've used Sip and Ship for shipping, inventory management + fulfillment, and mailbox services since 2014. Diana and her team are exceptional -- professional, efficient, and bring great energy to their work and to the shop(s). The coffee shop + boutique is really well curated and always full of good fuel + treasures. Highly recommend as a personal and business resource!

Love having this cute little coffee shop and shipping center nearby. It is great for dropping off packages through ups or fedex. They are always very friendly when I have visited. The retail section has lots of fun stationery and other products for gift giving. I also enjoy their coffee and pastry selection. They even have sandwiches which are quite good when toasted!

This team is the best! The virtual mailbox program is brilliant. Also very cool to see a local business that loves supporting other local businesses and their community.

Sip and ship is amazing! I had to get a stack of documents notarized and witnessed quickly and they were super professional and helped me through the whole process, also got them mailed out for me. I love the coffee shop and gifts too they offer. Such a wonderful business!

The "flower power" coffee is soooo good! And the customer service is so good! Super under rated.

Good for gifts but hard to use for shipping services or coffee as they don’t open until 10am. If they eventually opened for standard working hours they would receive more patronage from us and other Ballard area employees and businesses.

Sip and Ship is such a godsend. I have had a few stressful personal situations over the past few years where I have had to get something notarized and mail it in a hurry and just haven't had the emotional energy or time to wait on an endless line at the post office. Sip and Ship has notary and mailing services and I am in and out quickly. Yes there is a markup on certain services but sometimes it is just worth it. Staff is so helpful and kind and it's just a pleasant environment. And you can get a delicious coffee or cute gift on your way out. I am so glad to be near the Ballard location!

This place is a toss up for me. I love the staff. They are so nice. They have some fun curio presents, and the bakery is numm numm! But their rates are ridiculous for anything I have attempted on the shipping/office side. Post office boxes are $150 for 3 months (vs $140 for a year at the post office). Faxing is $1.50 a sheet, and I had 2 stacks of insurance paperwork, each at least 15-17 pages. No freaking way could I afford them for what I need, which is a shame b/c i'd rather support them than the chains.

Since moving away from Seattle, I haven't found a spot like Sip And Ship and I really miss it! Perfect coffee + the perfect place to find gifts and treats for long-distance friends!
