You’ve asked for local post cards for months now and, after searching and searching for a good vendor, Uncle Marty finally decided to take it upon himself to use his own original photography and introduce an exclusive line from Uncle Marty’s Greetings.  The six brand new designs are available only at Uncle Marty’s ShipRite Office and feature Taughannock Falls State Park, Cayuga Lake, and Cornell University.  Photos are posted in the latest album on Uncle Marty’s Facebook page titled “Feeling Green.”  Keep watch for more post cards and greeting cards coming soon from Uncle Marty’s Greetings.

A brand new batch of coupons have just been posted at Uncle Marty’s Facebook page.  Save paper and simply snap a photo of your favorite coupons with your phone to take advantage of the deals!

February 14th is approaching fast.  Have you thought about your loved ones and what you’ll be giving them?  Uncle Marty’s is not only your headquarters for Valentine’s Day shipping, we also have a large selection of Valentine’s Day cards.  If you’re traditional, our neighbor, Wildflowers Florist, has some amazing current specials on fresh roses.  If you want something a little bit different, Uncle Marty’s is Ithaca’s exclusive distributor of locally made Whimsies (arrangements that look like flowers but are made of candy) and they ship beautifully.  Browse our selection of ready-to-purchase Whimsies or order your custom one today!

Have you ever seen 25 pounds of hair?  We have!  We shipped 199 ponytails today in one big 25 pound box to Locks of Love.  As always, Uncle Marty’s ships to Locks of Love, Pantene Beautiful Lengths, and similar charities free of charge.  For more information on this program and other good stuff, please check out the “Good Things” tab on this site.

Where in Collegetown can you get black and white copies for just 8 cents each and high quality color copies for only 29 cents each?  At Uncle Marty’s, of course!  To sweeten the deal even more, quantity discounts of 25% off 100 or more and 50% off 500 or more always apply.  Specialty papers and sizes are also available and printing from an email or flash drive is easy.  So, remember Uncle Marty’s for your next copying or printing project.  Connie, our fabulous new state-of-the-art Konica Minolta machine, and Helga, our older but usually still functioning machine, patiently wait here for you to come and push their buttons.

Since the original handmade greeting cards we had were such a huge hit, we’ve added 30 more styles.  From birthday and congratulations to sympathy and friendship, there’s a great selection to choose from.  There are even some adorable blank handmade cards!  They’re a bit chunky, so some styles might require a little extra postage.  But, that’s no problem because Uncle Marty’s sells stamps too.  If handmade cards aren’t your style, there’s a plethora of other lines of more traditional cards to choose from, too!

Welcome back, students!  It’s fantastic to see Collegetown buzzing with activity again.

Uncle Marty’s final two winter break storage deliveries will be completed this afternoon.  Thank you to all those that made this chilly storage season wonderful!  It’s never too early to think about your summer break storage needs.  Please visit unclemartysoffice.com/storage for more information.

It’s a very, very windy day in Ithaca. The new red banners that grace the sides of Uncle Marty’s A-frame sidewalk sign seem to work just as effectively as sails as they do as marketing tools. Just like a scene from Winnie the Pooh, the sign took off in a gust of wind and careened up the sidewalk, nearly taking out an unsuspecting (and very gracious) man as he sauntered towards the store. Perhaps today is a good day to keep the sign indoors.

Thanks to the phenomenal efforts of Uncle Marty’s Collegetown neighbor, Big Red Barber Shop, 926 greeting cards were collected and sent to encourage the troops overseas during the holidays. Ithacans are amazing! More information on how you can help encourage our soldiers is available here.
