Pak Mail of Carmel by the Sea

This place deserves the highest rating possible. It’s a family run business that I’ve used countless times. I use them primarily for packing. Their rates are amazingly fair. I had a lamp to be shipped and it came out to nearly 30% of what the UPS Store tried to charge me at the crossroads.
I routinely receive compliments from my customers who receive items this store packed.
I’ve also had paintings crated here and it was 20% of the cost of the UPS Store!
The only downside is their prices for UPS and FedEx weren’t discounted but they were a little cheaper than what you pay on the shippers websites.

These folks have got to be the nicest and most honest people on the planet!
A Pak Mail employee happened to see my husband driving away from a Carmel gas station with his «man bag» on the roof of the car. The employee (Eric) saw the bag fall off, so he kindly grabbed it and tried to follow my husband to reunite man and bag… but couldn’t catch my husband.
He took the bag back to Pak Mail and he and another kind employee sorted through the wallet (with quite a bit of cash in it!) and found our home phone number in Santa Rosa, and our email address on a business card.
My husband searched the streets of Carmel after he realized his bag was missing, but gave up and we drove back to Santa Rosa, depressed and feeling pretty crummy about the loss of the bag, the wallet, the credit cards photos, drivers license and prescription glasses. We put holds on the credit cards, debit cards, etc., not to mention a substantial amount of cash, and resigned ourselves to the next two weeks of hell — waiting for new cards, replacing the DL, buying new glasses, etc.
We were sooooo thrilled to arrive back in Santa Rosa to a phone message AND an email telling us of the recovery of the bag. Not only that, but they had already packaged the goods and had them ready to ship back to us the next morning, once we verified our home address.
If I were lucky enough to live in Carmel-​by-​the-​Sea, I would not hesitate to use this wonderful business for any of my shipping needs.
Their honesty, integrity, «extra-​mile» mentality and efficiency are totally impressive.
Need to get those Christmas packages off in a hurry? I think these folks will take care of you all the way.
