So pleased to have this convenient place. The worker was so very friendly. Was in and out quickly. Parking can be a problem but perseverance will pay off. And, they have some really cute items for sale and neat cards. She said they will be getting more. I will definitely use them again. read more

I love this little shop. The owner (I think her name is Heidi) and her assistant are so damn nice! Not only are they friendly, but they have the cutest selection of gifts inside to throw in any package. They make crossing something off my to do list, pretty easy and enjoyable. read more

Last minute package to be sent, The lady at the counter was very nice, price was good, and the package showed up on time! WIn, Win, Win!

I just went to try to mail something and they are not open. I walked over a mile to get here with two kids and says they're open until two on Saturdays but they were CLOSED. Your best bet is just going to the post office because they at least are open when they say they will be read more

This is a complete waste of space. I dropped a two thousand dollar machine to be shipped that day and over a week later after calling a couple days in a row was o abke to find out where my kerchanduse was. I still have no explanation. They were either stealing.. Trying to steal.. Lying about why and what happened or They are just completely useless and incompetent. I have never had such a bad experience when trying to support local business. Never again. I will tell everyone I know and review you everywhere possible. If my equipment shows up to the buyer two weeks late with any issues you will be hearing from my lawyer. You are ruining sellers reputations. Kill yourselfs. read more

Heidi and her crew always take care of our shipping needs. There customer service goes far beyond what you might expect. This is what doing business in New Orleans is all about. Love the cookies too! read more

I have spent much of my short life waiting in lines at the post office and dealing with the less than enthusiastic and generally unhelpful people they employ. My first experience with Parcels & Post was a breath of fresh air and will now become my regular stop for my mailing needs. Reasons? I'll give you reasons! 1. No super long line! The lovely people behind the counter are quick and efficient. 2. Friendly service. Just try to get a postal worker to smile--it's damn near impossible. I walked in the door at P & P and was greeted with a smile! 3. Lots of mailing choices--from USPS to UPS to FedEx. Who doesn't like choices? 4. Mailing supplies in store and they will tape up your package for you. Any other place (UPS, FedEx, and USPS) all charge you $3 for a roll of packing tape even if you bought a roll last time and forgot to bring it in. 5. Beautiful, sunny interior. Maybe it's just a personal thing but if I am going to wait in line to mail off a package, I'd like to be in a place that's nice with some good stuff to look at. I don't know how many times I have read the same posters in every post office under the stinking florescent lights. Trust me, it gets old after a while. I love all the little souvenirs and even some snacks left out for the enjoyment of their customers. What post office boasts this kind of atmosphere? In conclusion, next time you have to mail something try Parcels and Post and see if you won't be hooked. I'm sure there are other things worth mentioning about the store and their many offerings but really, just check it out for yourself. read more

What an awesome little place. They do it all there and even tell you all of your options for prices and speed of delivery. Even at Christmas, they will have 2 lines and they treat each custome as if they were the only one. I will never go any where else for my shipping/mailing needs..... read more

I have been in New Orleans almost a year now and have yet to write a Yelp review, until now. I'll keep it short and sweet. This place is the epitome of small business southern hospitality. They treat you like a person, not like a number! Every time I leave the store I find myself smiling; friendliness goes a long way. Oh yeah, and they got my package from New Orleans to Chicago in 2 days at the cheapest price, that is important too! read more

You can't find a nicer retailer for delivering your "parcels and post". It's located just off Nashville on Magazine. Park in the small parking lot in the back if there are spots. There are also interesting gift ideas in the shop as well as a used book exchange. read more

Update :: They did manage to track down one of my lost packages, had it returned & refunded my money, but the other has vanished completely. I appreciated their efforts to rectify their mistake, but it still could have been totally avoided had they just double checked their original work. The second (and still missing) parcel they are blaming on USPS negligence, so I guess I'm left either continuing to use them, or going straight to the USPS. Not thrilled with either option! read more

I am a longtime customer of Parcels & Post and although it was a rocky transition, the new owners have stepped up the service now and things are running much smoother. read more

After talking with a friend the other day about how most post offices aren't rated very highly, I realize I had done the New Orleans community a disservice by not publicly sharing my love of Parcels & Post. I've been working with them for all my mailing needs for about a year now, and have always been impressed by the friendly customer service (they even started remembering my name!) Whenever I mail something, they look up which postal service (e.g., USPS, FedEx, etc.) will deliver the package the cheapest, and I feel like my mail almost always arrives faster than they say it will (under-promise, over-deliver!). They provide other services as well, like PO Boxes, and sometimes there is a cute dog behind the counter. read more

Friendly, convenient shipping services and a whole lot of cute local gifts inside. I will never go to a Post Office again... yay!

I am never going to the post office ever again! I went to them for the first time today and had such a pleasant experience that I will always use them for my etsy business. read more

They are very friendly, convenience for me. I'm so glad to have them here because I hate to be looking for a Postal Office or UPS.

They are, simply put, the best at what they do - and they do it with a smile. I gladly drive across town to use their services.

This is a very nice place with off street parking and friendly people to mail any package. I will use their services than taking a chance with the USPO. And I had no problem with delivery of my package. Did not ask if they sell stamps but I am sure they do. I do miss seeing the dogs that were there in past times. read more

I drop LOTS of packages here each week and also have a mailbox for receiving. Everyone is super helpful and friendly and My stuff always arrives and departs on time. It's nice to have a pleasant personal experience instead of having to go to the post office!! read more

When there was a sudden death in my family I had to ship many family possessions - everything from glassware to a didgeridoo! - home to California in short order. Thank heaven, Parcels & Post took extraordinary care to make that happen. Everything was packed with expertise and arrived safely, even with interruptions by Hurricane Isaac. They made suggestions on how to ship the cheapest rate and kept in touch with me by email so I could rest assured my precious family things arrived quickly and in perfect condition. On top of it all, their kindness and sympathy helped me get through the hardest time of my life. I can't thank them enough or recommend them more highly. They are a perfect example of good business being done the best way! read more

When I think of New Orleans, I think of Parcels & Posts. This little packaging and shipping shop has as much character and flavor as your favorite New Orleans restaurant. They offer all the services of your local post office without the attitude, long lines, and bad customer service. Parcels & Post carry several unique items from local artists. The service is excellent! read more

I dropped off a DHL courier package containing very time-sensitive documents for my business. They took my envelope, and I learned 5 days later while tracking it that it was still sitting in their outgoing package rack. They never put it in for pickup. I just went to pick it up from them, saw it in plain sight. This business may do fine at dealing with everyday US postal packages and regular mail but I will never again entrust them with a courier package of any sort. They need to get more professional about courier pickups or else stick to the gift selling and mail dropoffs. Service here has always been very friendly but slow and chatty. Consider it a community center more than a professional package place. read more

Nice shop, friendly employees (for the most part.) My complaint is having to wait so long to be helped. I watched them work and there was no hurry the get people done and on their way. People value time now days..this is how FEDEX and UPS have been successful. Average business, but room for improvement! Could be great! read more

I contacted this company to ask them to pick up a valuable and delicate item that I purchased at a local auction house. They picked it up, packaged it extremely carefully, and shipped it to me safely. Everything was done quickly, efficiently, and at a very reasonable cost. I was also informed at every step of the way about the status of my delivery. Service was outstanding. read more
