Uncle Marty's Shipping Office
We make it easy!
Our mission
To make things simple, to save you time, to share a smile as we exceed your expectations.
We are an independent, locally owned, sustainability conscious, community focused, and inclusive small business, serving Ithaca since 2011. Our guests are our friends, our advocates, and our top priority.
Located in beautiful
Ithaca, New York
At Uncle Marty’s, we strive to make things simple, saving you time and sharing a smile as we meet—and exceed—your business center needs at our one-stop shop.
Conveniently located in the heart of Collegetown since 2011, Uncle Marty’s is proud to be part of Ithaca’s small business community. We are active members of the Tompkins Chamber and founding members of the Collegetown Small Business Alliance, working with our neighbors to make our community better.
Members of our team are certified by the Association of Mail and Business Centers (AMBC) as Professional Packaging Specialists, Global Shipping Specialists, Commercial Mail Receiving Agents, and Freight Shipping Specialists.
We were one of the first stores in the country to be recognized as an AMBC Certified Gold Store, exceeding the highest industry standards to join an elite few independent shipping and business centers across the country bearing gold status. We also have the honor of being a top-tier DHL Authorized Shipping Center, a FedEx Authorized ShipCenter®, and a USPS Approved Postal Provider.
Our small business has been featured four times as a leading FedEx Authorized ShipCenter® in the FedEx publication, FedEx ShipSource®, as well as multiple times in AMBC’s bi-monthly magazine, MBC Today. We’re proud to be a training site for other independent shipping store owners and managers across the country to learn from.
Our customers are our friends, our advocates, and our top priority. We show our gratitude with personal, professional, outstanding, and consistent service.
See you soon!
A proud supporter of the community
Hair Donation Shipping
Uncle Marty’s offers free shipping and a free envelope for individuals donating hair to Locks of Love, Pantene Beautiful Lengths, and similar charities. Please bring your freshly shorn ponytail to us in a baggie and we’ll handle the rest. We’ll give you a receipt with a tracking number, and even print the donation form for you at no charge.
Support Our Troops
Care packages from home are an important part of supporting our troops. At Uncle Marty’s we offer subsidized shipping rates (less than the Post Office!) for USPS Flat Rate Military Boxes being sent to active duty service members at APO and FPO addresses. Please, send some love today!
Change for Change
We keep a donation jar on our counter as part of our Change for Change program, as well as take electronic payment donations. Every couple of months, we switch the beneficiary so we can give a little love, coin, gratitude, and (most importantly) awareness to groups and organizations in our community who make such a difference.
