Well you would think I have been away for a while, when I have been lurking right here.  There are many changes going on at out store and it has kept me busy.

We are now a
Postal Retail Outlet

Just in time for Christmas. Stamps at cost!!  Starting 7 November 1998 our Mail Boxes Etc. went into a test program with the U.S. Postal Service. This program allows us to sell postage stamps at cost. The U.S. Postal Service understands the extra benefits we provide through longer hours and more services and has agreed to certain terms that allows us to do this.

Christmas Is Coming

Watch for the Christmas shipping calendar to come on the packing and shipping tips as soon as the dates are released to us by UPS and FedEx.

If you are a current mail box holder, e-mail us.  We are now able to give you your mail status on line. (i.e. mail in box / no mail in box). This can be done daily or weekly at your request.

Watch for a shopping cart to be added soon.  Though you can already request copies be made on-line via e-mail, we have begun searching for a provider that will give us a specialized shopping cart on the site.  This site will include the ability to sign up for mail forwarding service, request and pay for copies by transferring your files to us (both color and black and white), requesting personalized T-shirts, etc...

We added a guest page to our site. This guest page is a place you can just relax in and leave comments or a special place you can ask packing and shipping questions.

Example - How do I safely pack a fishing pole.

Answer - Get some PVC pipe (Your local Scotty's or Home Depot should have some), have them thread each end and get PVC caps for them. The pipe should be three to four inches longer than the pole itself and at least one inch wider.  Place the pole inside the pipe and fill it with any good filler, newsprint works well, to prevent rattle. Seal the pipe with the caps and tape them down.  Your fishing pole is now ready for shipping.

We are slowly cleaning up the pages for viewing with Internet Explorer.  Though Netscape is our browser of choice, I.E. 4.0 has become popular. There is a glitch in I.E. 4.0 that requires that we expand our tables another 6 pixels to get them to view properly.

The new scratch off game is now available in the store.  You could win $50,000.00 or a trip to Hawaii. Stop on in to get a card.

The "See Your Business on the Super Bowl" entry forms are also still available in the store. Don't miss out on this opportunity, the last small business to win struck it big.

Responding to the demand of a growing population is hard unless you can also meets the needs of your customers. That's why we at Mail Boxes Etc. - Ocoee always ask...

The first special request we ever received was to be open on Sundays. That was an easy one. For three years now we have been open every Sunday.

09/16/98

Our next special request was a bit harder. An overwhelming response received from our contractor customers was a need for a wide format (engineer or blueprint copier). And so the search was on. Now after two months of looking for the quality in service and reliability of each machine available we have finally added a wide area copier.

Accepting anything from 24" to 60" with a clarity that is tatamonte to the demands of the construction industry, this copier can not be beat.

• Copy up to 4 pages per minute
• Repeat up to 10 copies from a single pass
• Place a leading or trailing edge up to 4".
• Select area copy

Of course our reputation for service demands that full service, drop off service, and pick up service is available to you.

We will be contacting all of our contractor friends and anyone else who has expressed an interest in this type of copy and telling them of the quality and availability. If you would like more information, please email us at mbe2555@mbefl.com or call us at (407) 296-2779.
