Poughkeepsie & Hyde Park, NY Pack & Ship Store

Soon after Shipping Place & More opened its doors in 1997, it became recognized as the area’s premier one-stop pack & ship center for consumers and businesses alike. As an independent shipping provider, we offer our clients something the big box stores can’t: choices. We can ship items via UPS, FedEx, DHL, the US Postal Service, and even freight. We’ll help you make the best choice to meet your specific needs and budget.

When it comes to shipping, there are no second chances – once an item arrives broken at its destination, it’s too late. That’s why our clients rely on Shipping Place & More whenever they need to pack and ship something, no matter how big or small, how light or heavy. Our certified packing and shipping specialists attend classes every year to hone their packing skills, learn about new materials, and keep current with shipping options, rules, and rates. Training and certifications that we require our personnel to complete include:

  • Basic Packing
  • Advanced Packing
  • Heavy Freight Packing
  • Domestic Shipping
  • International Shipping
  • Commercial Mail Receiving Agent

Ted
Owner
Shipping Place & More Ted Timmons, the owner of Shipping Place & More, grew up in central Indiana. He served in the US Marine Corps from 1974 to 1978. After completing his tour with an honorable discharge, Ted attended Purdue University, graduating with a BS in Computer Technology. He then worked as a programmer until he decided to become a business owner in 1998 and started Shipping Place & More. Once he had made the transition from his first career, Ted dedicated himself fully to running a top-notch shipping business and providing the best possible service to his customers. To this day, he spends several weeks each year on his own professional development, attending conventions and training sessions to keep informed of the latest shipping and packing innovations, rules, and best practices.
