Pakmail Celebrates 13th Anniversary

Do you remember in 1995 when the 4 Corners area celebrated the fi rst grocery store, Publix at Orange Lake Town Center? Back then there were fi elds and Hwy 27 was a slow moving quiet highway. Pakmail opened its door the day before Publix, now 13 years on it is still going strong and is still packing and shipping anything and everything to anywhere for local residents, businesses, snowbirds and vacationers. From a single stamp to a Hummer, Pakmail has foam wrapped, packed, crated, containerized, air freighted, trucked and shipped items of great value and great weight.

Bernie and Valerie Olliff say “We’ve had great success building a business here. We enjoy the problem solving part of packaging and shipping as well as supporting local businesses with all their needs.” In addition to packaging and shipping anything, anywhere, Pakmail provides mailbox rental, public fax service, copies, mail receiving, mail forwarding, crating, postage stamps, notary services, internet access, keys, rubber stamps, printing services, vehicle shipping, containers, post cards, greeting cards, phone cards, along with a complete inventory of quality packaging supplies, and will recycle Styrofoam peanuts. Pakmail is very proud to recently have been asked to become an approved shipper for the United States Post Offi ce, owner Valerie Olliff says “It’s great to be recognized by the Post Offi ce for providing excellent service to its customers.”

In 2007 UPS gave only four awards to retail outlets nationally. Pakmail at Orange Lake Town Center won two of them, one for the most international shipments and one for the most air shipments. Everyone at Pakmail is very proud to have won these two awards.

Pakmail is the only packing and shipping store in the 4 Corners area that is an authorized shipping outlet for USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL. Owner Bernie Olliff says a lot of the newer stores claim to be full service but they are not, they are either owned by or affi liated with the carriers, so they are choosing the carrier. This limits the consumers’ choices. Pakmail is not owned by any carrier, so when you step into Pakmail you always get the choice of all four carriers’ services, and not the one the store wants you to ship with. Bernie says you are the customer - you choose, not us!

Bernie and Valerie Olliff of Pakmail thank everyone in the 4 Corners area for the growth of the business. The last 13 years were terrifi c. We look forward to serving our customers for many more.
