Manhattan, NY
Family run business with friendly service. I’ve never had any issues with printing, shipping, etc. The service is quick and the prices are reasonable. This is definitely a place I want to support.

Good friendly place, and essential to the neighborhood since the nearest post offices are far away.

Stamford, CT
By far the most convenient place to go for office supplies and all of your mailing needs in Cobble Hill. Worth the price. Omar and his brothers are courteous, professional and very friendly. They understand the concept of community, too.

The dude who runs this store is really nice, helpful, knowledgable, the fees are reasonable for drop-​off, and they’ve always actually taken the time to help me figure out what the cheapest /​most appropriate way to ship something is as opposed to the shipping place near borough hall and the ups store on court. I used to live upstairs, I’ve shipped, printed, and faxed from this place a TON, and I’ve just never had a bad experience there. So. Not sure why the reviews are lackluster otherwise.

These guys are a godsend to our neighborhood. A lot of us would be lost without their helpfulness and efficiency.

This place is great. You can buy stamps, ship packages, and a lot more. They’re helpful and it beats trekking all the way to the post office!

Call ahead before lugging your boxes over to this place for shipment. They UNBELIEVABLY inconsistent with the hours they post and they times they are actually open.
This guy is running a terrible business.

Friendly, helpful and always has everything I need. I love that it is local, easy and family run. Who needs institutional headaches and waits when you can get your work done and support a local business

I came here with a special request for shipping being that I am from out of town. and the owner graciously accomodated me. It is refreshing to know that such great service exists, in life in the big city. which can be difficult at times. Congratulations to Omar on satisfying your customers and looking forward to doing business with you again.

When we lived in Brooklyn, we went to the Cobble Hill Variety & Mailing Center at least once a week. Omar and his family who work there are just great: always friendly and really helpful. They even contacted me to let me know that a few packages had been misdelivered to our old address, to see if we wanted them forwarded to our new place. Amazing service! This business is a gem, and truly necessary in a neighborhood without an easily accessible post office. I hope they stick around a long time.

A little pricey but efficient and helpful, exactly what you would want in a mailing center. Never failed to help me with my requests. Modern equipments and reliable service. I have nothing to complain except for the opening hours are supposed to be 9:30 but there have been multiple occasions where they weren’t open when I tried to go there after 10:30am.

As a family run business, I always feel happy going in here. The guys here are professional, nice and super efficient. They’re not overly chatty, just honest and helpful. They make mailing a package easy-​esp when the post office isn’t convenient. I went online and compared prices to ship a box and Cobble Hill variety charged me the exact price I got quoted for FedEx. UPS would have been double! They’ve earned my business for as long as I’m living in the hood.

I don’t know why this place has somewhat lame reviews.
If you go here (or any other shipping/​mailing place, for that matter), you should have a pretty solid expectation that you’re going to have to pay something for their services. It’s pricey, but it’s convenient. They don’t owe you stamps at face value, and they don’t need to let you drop off your package, but you CAN and it’s easy and quick and totally worth a couple of bucks to avoid having to enter an actual post office.
And the staff has always been friendly and helpful when I’m there. Nothing bad to say about them!

The guy who runs this store is SO friendly. He’s become a neighborhood institution. My son (a toddler) is even excited to go in to the store when I have to mail things for work (and no, neither my husband and I work for a hedge fund as per an earlier comment … we are self employed artists and if WE can afford this store, well…). This is a wonderful place, and I am so glad they are in the neighborhood — Omar will even hold the FedEx guy if you have a deadline you have to meet — he’s just a great guy, and that attitude is reflected in how he runs this shop.

This is a family owned and operated place that I’ve been going to for years. Omar will bend over backwards to accommodate what you need. Yes, he charges a couple bucks more for PO services, etc but it’s the only way he can make money! I’d give my money to him any day over the painful Red Hook USPS experience or the local overpriced UPS.

I really like going here to mail my packages. I probably go here twice a week. Both guys who work here are professional, friendly and funny. They’re also fast and efficient. Unlike others who posted reviews here, I don’t mind paying extra as it saves me from taking 2 hours out of my day to go to the inconvenient Red Hook post office, waiting in a long line and then dealing with its horrible and unfriendly postal workers. (If some of you would rather go to Red Hook, be my guest.)

Guy who runs the place is not friendly. The place is overpriced… way overpriced. A book of stamps is face value plus $ 2.50. Mailing a package is twice the price of the post office.
You can go here if your husband works for a hedge fund. But the rest of us humans have to walk to a post office.

The best place to go and mail something in the Carroll Gardens area without having to deal with the horrible post office in Red Hook.
This place also sells mailing/​school supplies, cell phones, accessories and random used DVDs. Faxing is also available.
Note: As with most mailing centers, they seem to charge a bit more for mailing packages. Make sure to tell them you want the inexpensive route! Also, they charge $ 2 if you are dropping off pre-​paid parcels.
