“Great place with easy and fast shipping services. Frank was excellent! Not only was he friendly and professional, but went out of his way to find me the easiest and most affordable option to ship my golf clubs across country while I was visiting OH. Made things simple and my travels way easier.”

Painesville Has No UPS Store. It Has Us.
Painesville has twenty thousand people. It has Lake Erie College. It has the Lake County government center. It has no UPS Store. It has no FedEx Office. It has no place to buy packing supplies or print a document or notarize a signature.
What it has is a post office, a UPS drop box at CVS, and a FedEx drop box at Dollar General. That is all.
If you live in Painesville and need to ship a package, you drive to Mentor or Willoughby. You wait in line. You drive back. The round trip takes thirty minutes for something that should take five.
Mailbox Plus is seven minutes from downtown Painesville. We are at 7554 Fredle Drive in Concord Township. We are the only full-service pack, ship, print, and mailbox center within the Painesville city area.
What Mail Boxes Etc. Used to Be
Mail Boxes Etc. started in 1980. It was the place you went for everything: shipping, packing, printing, mailbox rental, notary. Most locations became The UPS Store between 2001 and 2004. The name stuck in people’s memory. The need did not go away.
Mailbox Plus is what Mail Boxes Etc. used to be. We are independent. We are local. We offer the same full range of services without the franchise markup.
Four Carriers at One Counter
We ship with UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL. You bring your package to one counter. We compare rates and delivery times across all four carriers. We tell you which one works best for your budget and your deadline.
The UPS Store ships only UPS. FedEx Office ships only FedEx. We ship all four. That is the difference.
What We Offer
We pack and ship fragile items. We print documents in color and black and white. We make copies, business cards, and flyers. We notarize signatures. We rent private mailboxes with a real street address.
For students at Lake Erie College, we ship move-in and move-out packages. For county government workers, we handle certified mail and document services. For the Hispanic business community, we serve customers in Spanish.
We sell boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and packing peanuts. We sell postage stamps. We accept Amazon returns. We take pre-labeled drop-offs from any carrier.
Why Painesville Needs This
Painesville has the highest poverty rate in Lake County. It also has the youngest population. It has a growing Hispanic community and a significant foreign-born population who send packages internationally.
When every dollar counts, you need choice. You need to compare rates. You need to know you are not paying more than you have to because there is only one option in town.
Mailbox Plus gives Painesville that choice.
