Have It Delivered Here, Pick It Up When You Can

How to Address It
Use our street address and put your own name on the first line, the way you would address anything else:
Your Name
1420 W Airline Hwy
LaPlace, LA 70068
UPS, FedEx, DHL and USPS all deliver to us every business day.
How Long It Takes
Picking up takes a minute at the counter. The paperwork takes longer the first time, so come in and fill out the form before the parcel is on its way rather than after it arrives. Ask us how long we hold a parcel, so a delivery does not turn up while you are out of town.
Do I Need an Appointment?
No. Walk in during store hours, Monday through Friday from 9 to 6 and Saturday from 9 to 1. Bring your ID with you and the form takes a few minutes.
Getting Mail as Well as Parcels?
Letters need a box of their own, and the paperwork is the same Form 1583. If you think you will want mail here as well, say so while you are filling it in. That is a private mailbox, and new customers are getting six months free right now.
Package Receiving Questions
Can I Have a Package Delivered Here Instead of My House?
Yes. Put your name on the first line and our street address under it, 1420 W Airline Hwy, LaPlace, LA 70068. We sign for the parcel and hold it at the counter until you come in. UPS, FedEx, DHL and USPS deliver to us every business day.
Do I Need to Rent a Mailbox to Receive a Package?
No. You pay per parcel and there is no monthly fee: $4 if the longest side is 20 inches or less, $10 if it is longer. A mailbox is a separate service, for letters and a permanent address.
What Is USPS Form 1583 and Do I Have to Fill One Out?
It is the Postal Service form that lets us accept mail and parcels in your name, and it is required before the first delivery, even for a single parcel. You fill it out at the counter and it has to be witnessed in person with your photo ID, or notarized. A notary works in the building, so it can be finished in one visit.
What Do I Need to Bring to Pick Up a Parcel?
Bring two forms of ID, one of them a photo ID, with details matching the name on the parcel. The tracking number helps us find it faster.
