Flashmail Box & Ship

Excellent service. The owner is very friendly and takes pride in his business. I have sent multiple important documents and shipments from this location and they’ve always made it safely and on time. I plan to keep going here for my shipping needs

I went to Flashmail right before they were about to close and they were allowed me to edit a document, print it, and they notarized it for a nominal fee. They have full shipping capabilities as well.

I ship out on average about 10 packages a week. Not a lot, but enough for it to be a hassle to have to stand in line at the post office.
1. At Flashmail, they accept UPS, Fedex, and USPS packages, which is awesome because I will never forget that time that I stood in line for 30 minutes at the Hampden post office only to realize that one of my packages needed to be sent through UPS. (Why did they have to choose such a similar name???)
2. I always print out my labels at home, package everything, and just drop it off. OF COURSE they are going to charge you if you want tape or boxes. Nothing in this world is free! Even at the us post office, they may charge you for tape…
3. I’ve never had to wait in line. Even when there were other people in front of me, the proprietor prioritizes and asks what everyone in line needs. Whenever I tell him that I’m just dropping, he takes my packages from me and then I’m on my way! It can be annoying to have to wait for the person in front of you to write down their shipping addresses, package, etc etc.
4. There’s always parking in the front lot.
5. The location is great because it’s right off Guilford– you can just make a right into the parking lot.
6. The service I’ve received has always been really friendly and accommodating. The business seems like its run by a family because I always see the same few people there. Last time I dropped by, he told me to tell all my friends that they are available and ready to ship packages! So here I am, telling Unilocal

I’ve been navigating passport renewal hell for the past month, and today was the last day I could get my picture taken and send in my material if I’m going to make my trip.
Kinko’s camera was broken, apparently every post office in the Baltimore area is booked solid with picture appointments until April, and it was snowing and all the other places were closed.
Flash Mail was open, the propertier was super friendly and helpful. I’m very grateful for his help and a rarity in Mt. Vernon with a parking lot.
Will definitely be back!

I have been a happy customer for over a year. I came to Flashmail after having plenty of awful experiences with Baltimore post offices. I have had only positive interactions with Ravinder, the owner, who I find helpful and quite personable. I like that he tries to get to know his customers.
I know for sure that the cost to rent a mailbox at Flashmail is cheaper than renting a USPS box. If you expect to receive packages from UPS or FedEx (as well as USPS), you would do well to get a mailbox at Flashmail. With a USPS box, you won’t see your packages for days. At Flashmail, everything you receive is available immediately.
Regarding shipping costs, I don’t count my pennies, so I can’t say with conviction if the store is exactly average or not for pricing. I don’t remember ever being alarmed at my shipping costs, however. Also, there is never much of a line, unlike most shipping stores.
There is always free parking available in the lot out front; a huge plus!
Overall I recommend, and it feels nice to support a small business.

Good service thank you. I like a lot. Nice people fair prices. They are small business so they have to charge when they can to stay open, usps is cheap but they operated at like a 4 billion dollar loss last year so you gotta put things in perspective. The business feeds a family.

The service is horrible and there is a crazy expensive service charge added to the cost of every transaction no matter how big or small. I went there yesterday to buy ONE STAMP and the SERVICE CHARGE WAS $ 1.50 for one stamp! STAY AWAY the service is horrible and you pay through the nose for it. Also when I asked if they could mail out the envelope I paid three dollars to send the unhelpful sales girl said, «um the mail lady is gone but I’m sure someone will take it.» Not good. Not good at all.

so, i was downtown and needed to drop off a box to return to Zappos. pre-​paid shipping label, just needed to tape and send.
i’ve done this at dozens of facilities around the city and country.
today, a first:
they charged me $ 1 to take the package, ostensibly to cover the cost of the tape.
i paid the convenience charge, but commented that they were the only place that has EVER charged me. she said something about how nothing is free and everything costs.
so, if i ever need to pay to ship a package (where they do get a cut), guess where i’m never going to go?

I would recommend Flash Mail to anyone!!! Flash Mail offers every service you could want when it comes to packing and shipping: personal mailboxes, a huge variety of affordable shipping options, boxes of all sizes, packing materials, and much much more. When an item is shipped, Mr. Singh gives you a tracking number on your receipt and also automatically emails you the tracking number as well– so helpful!!! Mr. Singh is honest, helpful, and incredibly kind.
Flash Mail provides stress-​free shipping and packing service!

Great little service for those that need a safe mailbox away from home. The owner is very nice and friendly and seem to look out for his customers.

Really friendly service — and very helpful. I would use them over the UPS store or Kinko’s any day.
