Pack It Ship It - Chapel Hill, NC

Pack It Ship It - Chapel Hill, NC Peter Renfro, a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, provides the hands-on personal touch that separates Pack It Ship It from other shipping stores.

Permanently closed.

Pack It Ship It is the only place in Chapel Hill where you can ship FedEx, DHL and the US Postal Service...and drop-off UPS pre-paid packages - all under one roof! Since 1992 Peter has honed his expertise in packaging and shipping. Like a great chef, he personally hand-picks his inventory of boxes and packaging for quality and reliability. Conscious of the environment, he also makes use of recycle

d packaging material whenever possible. Long-time customers have come to trust Peter’s advice when it comes to shipping and packaging options. His built-in sense of economy means he only sells the premium services when they are absolutely necessary (a particularly popular trait during the Christmas season!). Peter has forged Pack It Ship It into one of the last bastions of independence in a world that is becoming increasingly homogenized by the likes of Wal-Mart, Starbucks, Kinko’s and McDonald’s. It is one of the few places left in Chapel Hill where the small-town community atmosphere of yesteryear remains vibrant and strong. Pack It Ship It is Chapel Hill’s modern equivalent of Floyd’s Barber Shop!

I find it curious that the last year and half I have seen some of the fastest mail delivery in my 20+ years of shipping orders (Media Mail from East to West Coast in 2 or 3 days). I felt all the issues back in 2020 had finally sorted themselves out and Postmaster General DeJoy had proven his ideas for restructuring were worth it in the long run. So why is it there's been a general slow-down in mail delivery recently? Surely it's just a coincidence that this is a Presidential election year...right?

A little bit of fun math - if my spot on Raleigh Road is not rented by mid-May, then the owners actually start losing money by not renewing me for one more year at my old rate...

We will be closing our store at the end of January because the new owner’s of Glenwood Square refuse to honor a five-year lease they offered and we accepted two years ago. We do hope to find a new location here in Chapel Hill during the coming months. Our last day open to the public will be Thursday, January 28th. After that, you can get updates via our website packitshipitchapelhill.com or send us an e-mail at [email protected].

I've had a few customers come into my shop claiming they saw ridiculously low international shipping rates; supposedly with DHL. I think they are seeing prices from a company called Parcel Monkey. Take a look at the reviews for this company on the Yelp link, and heed these words of advice:
--You get what you pay for!
--If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't!

Excuse the language, but some a$$h0l3 stole our rocking duck! I don't think it was a regular customer - happened late last week when several Craigslisters showed up for a special I had on some books. I remember one guy seemed kind of skeezy because he didn't show up fast enough to get first dibs. For the amount of time he was in the store, I was surprised he didn't get anything, or even bother to say something before disappearing (he must have snuck out while I was working in the back). So - I'm putting this up here on the off chance someone happens to catch a Craigslist or Ebay listing for this duck.

Apologies to one of my customers - I thought I had posted this to Facebook last week.

I've had this sign on my front counter for over a week. While I am not seeing any significant slowdowns in FedEx delivery, it is still important to note that any delivery estimates are just ESTIMATES, and no refunds will be given except in very specific circumstances (like two weeks ago when DHL routed a package through Saudi Arabia that was supposed to go to Romania - they owned their mistake and fully refunded my customer).

But taking a few extras hours for a morning delivery or an extra day for ground delivery - no refund!
