Wrapped van, check. Customer friendly crew, check. Ready for your call, check, check.

Sandbox Pack & Ship, located at 417 Myrtle Avenue, now has door-to-door mail pick up service available. The mobile van is available to pick up packages and mail from local residences, including apartment buildings as well as large and small businesses.

The new mobile service is the direct result of feedback from several local seniors who expressed difficulty in getting to the post office and requested more a door-to-door service. This feedback was shared during MARP-coordinated neighborhood focus groups and an older adult forum, all held over the past year and all aimed at learning how to make the neighborhood, particularly Myrtle Avenue, friendlier to older adults. MARP has since been designated an Age-Friendly Neighborhood.

“The impetus for the van was the feedback from seniors and we are committed to doing just that. We decided to broaden the vision though, and we’ll accommodate basically any of our neighbors who reside in our local pick up zone and who give us a call,” shared Stanley Green, Sandbox owner.

The mail is brought back to Sandbox Pack & Ship where it is shipped using a wide range of land, sea or air options for worldwide shipping, including USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL, with a focus on offering the fastest and most affordable options.

Sandbox Pack & Ship is located at 417 Myrtle Avenue between Vanderbilt and Clinton Avenue. Please call them at (347) 599-2819 with questions or to arrange mail or package pick up.
