Postal Connections Opens First Location in Idaho

BOISE, Idaho — Postal Connections, one of the nation’s premier providers of packing, shipping and business services dedicated to personalized customer assistance, announced today the opening of a new store in Boise. This location will be the first Postal Connections in the state of Idaho, as well as the first location for Ron and Peggy Bishop, who plan to open additional stores in the Boise area. Postal Connections will be offering new, more convenient services to an “under-served” community.

“After experiencing the business solutions that Postal Connections offers firsthand, I knew I wanted to offer those same services to people throughout Boise,” said Ron Bishop, a seasoned retail professional with years of experience as a regional district manager. “They go above and beyond to treat people as people, instead of as transactions. I am thrilled to introduce Boise residents to the comprehensive solutions that Postal Connections can offer for both small businesses and consumer households.”

On Saturday, October 26, the Boise Postal Connections store located at 10673 West Lake Hazel Road will celebrate its grand opening. As part of the grand opening, there will be a sweepstakes for an Apple Watch Series 5. Sweepstakes entry forms available in store only, no purchase necessary. Andy Thompson CEO of Postal Connections, will be attending the grand opening and ribbon cutting celebration. This store will be the first Postal Connections store in Boise, joining the nearly 50 locations nationwide.

Based in Frisco, Texas, Postal Connections, which presents itself as more than a pack and ship store, has established itself as a leading provider of a wide array of business and personal services, offering convenient access to postal products, shipping with all leading carriers, free drop-offs accepted from most carriers, freight, printing, creative services, copying, fax, passport photos, notary, shredding and other hard to find services. The newest service, iSOLD It® on eBay, is an online sales support service for people who want to turn items into cash by selling them online but are uncomfortable, inexperienced or just don’t have the time to do it themselves. iSOLD It service does everything from start to finish.
