Nott Street Office

Great little spot to ship those last minute items. Very friendly staff that will make sure everything is packaged well and shipped out by the best method.

At this point I would have to be really desperate to ship something here or to ever come back. Im ⁰⁄₃ on my visits there, place is an absolute train wreck. The worst part is that its not even a fast train wreck, its a slow lazy train wreck with an attitude problem depending on whos working. Its 1 minute from my house and I think its still faster to drive to Colonie to ship something if needed.

staff & owners have always been extremely helpful. I have gone in with unwrapped items in hand and they walked me through finding the cheapest package and shipping comparisons. When I made posters, they also walked me through pricing. The interior leaves a little to be desired, but honestly it reminds me that it is local, not corporate.

Great resource in the Coop Plaza. I have sent out hundreds of parcels with no problem-​ever. They will find the cheapest or fastest common carrier. Fax service, customer use copiers, banner and design creation. Expert resume service and mass printing. BTW, they expanded to a second location by Stewart’s on Union St because of customer demand.

This is the same business as the old Parcel Post Plus in the same location for many years, they have simply rebranded as Nott Street Office. (For some reason when I updated this Unilocal just marked the old location closed without carrying the old reviews over, so I’m starting this as a new review.)
It’s a locally-​owned independent shipping place, much akin to the Fedex-Kinko’s or UPS Store type place. They have shipping services for Fedex, UPS, DHL, and I think will take your US mail as well.
They do not have extended production services ala the Fedex-Kinko’s model, but do have some basic help with graphical stuff available on top of the usual photocopying and packaging/​mailing/​faxing services. Copies 8 cents a page for B/​W, color copies available, including several self-​service bits.
The premises are still in need of renovation — sort of beat up inside, and it’s in the very old-​school original commercial strip on Nott that’s been there for many decades — and it has previously had some strangely distracting odors, although it seems to be a bit better-​smelling of late. I would rate them as below the level of service and price of the average chain competitor in this line of services, but it’s all about location and if the location is convenient for you, why, there’s your photocopier or place to drop off a package.
Big caveat here about parking: the spaces are pull-​in directly from Nott street, on the northern side. Backing out even under the best of circumstances here is hazardous. If you have extended business or are coming during rush hour, it may almost be better to park on the street on the side street and walk the 100 feet or so to the store than to risk a collision at the accident-​heavy stretch near Nott and Balltown.
