Check out this time-lapse of an online seller trying to package a 1UP arcade game they sold on eBay.

Good news: it made it to the buyer undamaged.

Bad news: the box looked like it had been through a wrestling match by the time it arrived. The game was fine, but the presentation wasn’t, and they ended up with a poor rating because of it.

That’s the part a lot of sellers forget: packaging protects the item, but it also protects your reputation!

If you sell online, especially larger or awkward items, don’t guess your way through the packing job. The right box, padding, reinforcement, and clean presentation can make the difference between a happy buyer and a rating you wish you could erase.

Ship Salem takes the guess work out of the process and helps you get the rating you want!

Today is Memorial Day, a day dedicated to remembering the men and women who gave everything serving this country.

To the families in and around Salem who’ve lost someone in service, we’re thinking of you today.

Porch pirates hate this one simple trick:

Place a fake package on your porch filled with glitter. Then, add a little Kevin McCallister ingenuity 😁

Or...

Don’t leave packages on the porch!

Get a private mailbox at Ship Salem that gives you a real street address, package deliveries from all of the major carriers, and secure storage for your packages until you pick them up.

No porch.
No rain.
No mystery “delivered” notification followed by detective work.

Tag someone whose packages need witness protection.

Before the weekend gets away from you, take care of the errand you’ve been putting off.

Return to drop off?
Package to ship?
Document to get notarized?
Paperwork to shred?
Copies or faxes to make?

Bring it to Ship Salem on Roanoke Blvd and let’s get it off your list.

Some errands feel bigger in your head than they are in real life. Come by and we’ll help you get it handled!

This is the part most people never see.

When someone brings in something fragile, odd-shaped, valuable, sentimental, or just plain difficult to ship, we do not just toss it in a box and hope for the best.

There is a right way to pack an item so it can actually survive the trip. The right box, the right padding, the right spacing, and no empty areas where things can shift around.

This timelapse is a quick look behind the counter at how we safely boxed up a customer’s item before shipping.

Bring us the weird stuff. We like a challenge!

If you've been meaning to get a package out this week, today's the day to do it.

Saturday works too, but today gives you more shipping options if something needs to go overnight or two-day.

Bring in the item. We'll compare the rates, pack it up if you need us to, and get it labeled and out the door.

You don't need to have everything figured out ahead of time. Just bring it in.

We're open until 6:00 PM today and we'll be here from 10am to 2pm tomorrow!

One of the most common mailbox questions we get: 'What happens if a package is too big to fit in my box?'

Here's exactly what happens. We hold it behind the counter, safe and secure. We notify you. You come in when it's convenient, show your ID, and pick it up.

No package sitting outside. No weather damage. No 'delivered' notification with nothing on the porch.

That's what a private mailbox here actually does for you. Come in this week if you want to talk through sizes and pricing.

Quick reminder before the weekend. If you've got a return sitting around, this is the time to drop it off.

We accept USPS and FedEx QR code returns and pre-labeled packages. We scan it in, email you a drop-off receipt, and you're done.

Don't carry it into another weekend. We're open until 6:00 PM today!
