Postmark Plus Delivers Emmy Award Winning Service!
This is an actual Emmy Award sent by one of our customers. It would be unthinkable for Ms. Twila Ligett, the Executive Producer of Reading Rainbow, to go anywhere else.
Over the past sixteen years we've been packing and shipping for our customers. We are experts on the subject and can safely pack anything you can think of including antique china, family heirlooms, Stradivarius violins, computer equipment, gifts, house wares, furniture and just about anything else you can imagine.
We offer your choice of couriers; Federal Express, DHL or UPS.
Rock stars, Hollywood producers, retired FBI agents among many others trust us with their important packages and documents; you can too! Important and private documents will, naturally, never appear on this website. We are very discreet and can handle all of your personal affairs with the utmost professionalism and respect for your privacy.
Here are a few interesting stories about the packing and shipping we've done
Howard posing with roughly 2000 pounds of supplies he personally packed and shipped to hurricane victims

The trucks pull up to load the boxes of critical supplies and get them on their way to the people of New Orleans.
In response to the chaos Katrina left in her wake, Howard gave the order for Postmark Plus to process shipments to hurricane victims in the environs of New Orleans for free.
After media coverage by the Asbury Park Press, The Home News Tribune as well as all local radio stations, hundreds of wonderful people donated over 6,000 pounds (three tons!) of bottled water, canned food, clothing, baby supplies, pet food, first aid supplies, flashlights. As the supplies surged in, packed cartons were shipped out. All told Postmark Plus shipped sixty boxes of supplies to evacuees and survivors.
Anjs, the cute little lady above desperately wanted to join her family in their new home in Florida. Since she couldn't fly with them on the airline, she took her own flight via DHL. We packed her with extra care and a little TLC, filed the appropriate paperwork and sent her (she's a red eared slider, by the way) to the airport to catch her flight on DHL Express. Anjs reunited with her family in their new home and everyone is living in Florida happily ever after.
Allow us to introduce the star of the show... The china cabinet!
(You didn't think we were going to say Howard was the star, did you?)
The lovely Nadia first protected the glass door of the rare antique with bubble wrap and then wrapped the entire surface in protective plastic so there would be no scratches or scuff marks in transit.
Enter Mike, Stage Left with his custom-designed box made just for this china cabinet
Ready for the journey to its new owner, we need only tape the box closed and apply the shipping label.
Next, a shipping nightmare that only the legendary Postmark Plus could solve...
The PXRE Reinsurance Company, a $300 million dollar insurance company with an international presence called us. They wanted to ship out 200 or so towels to their agents all over the world. Why 200 towels? Apparently it was part of a promotion to announce their new offices in beautiful sunny Bermuda. They were hard-pressed to solve the logistical nightmare of picking up the towels from the manufacturer, then packing them and then shipping them to points all over the global. Without hesitation, Howard said "we can do it!"
At first glance the job seemed daunting. There were literally boxes all over the store. You could hardly walk a straight line without knocking over a pile of towels!
Luckily a prominent figure from Postmark Plus' past stopped in to pay a visit. Larry came out of retirement and wielded a tape gun once again!
If you look to his right you'll see the stack of taped boxes! Larry still had the magic! He and Mike went through all the boxes and had them ready in barely more than an hour.
Larry couldn't be happier to be back working at Postmark Plus - if only briefly. :)
At the end of the day, all 200 towels arrived at their destinations in London, Milan, Hong Kong, Bermuda as well as better than two dozen domestic locations. Now, if a $300 million dollar insurance company turns to us for their shipping needs -- shouldn't you?
An original, authentic NFL jersey worn and autographed by NFL MVP Brett Favre.
We packed and shipped the precious cargo and, naturally, they arrived at their destination in perfect condition. Appraised value of this and another jersey in the same box came to $5,000.
Our "NFL shipper" was so happy with the job we did on his Favre jersey he came back with a Troy Aikman which we shipped to Las Vegas with $3500 of insurance. He doesn't trust anybody else to handle his valuable, prized possessions.
Dave "Snake" Sabo of the world famous Skid Row rock band stopped by to do some shipping...
Snake visited us before, you see, and knew we'd do a top-notch job of packing his Platinum albums
Naturally we couldn't help but take some pictures. We were admittedly star struck!
Snake is a really nice guy and was very patient as we processed his large shipment as well
as help all of our other customers who needed to do some shipping. Snake is really cool. :)
I would hardly call all your platinum albums and really cool pictures "shit"... but you're very welcome! It was a real honor, Snake! You rule too!
It's hard to follow an act like that but here are some other interesting things we've packed and shipped...
We packed and shipped this comfy recliner to Atlanta....
