A great friendly place for postal and shipping needs. People complain about paying higher rates but they need to make a profit for the convenience.

Response from the owner I personally like to think of us as being cheaper than the Post Office for those that value their time. 😉 Thank you for the review and your understanding.

My go-to place shipping/mailing for both business and personal items. Excellent customer service and are thorough with making sure things are done well and right. I can't imagine getting a follow-up email from the post office to double check if I wanted a printed receipt after a large order (I received an email receipt with tracking #s, costs, etc).

Fairhaven Post & Parcel is my go-to place for all my postal needs. As an author, I regularly ship books, and their service is always fast, friendly and most of all accurate. They also value customer safety with strict adherence to COVID protocols - I would definitely recommend Fairhaven Post & Parcel!

Frequently Asked Questions:

You will need two forms of identification to open a mailbox per USPS Requirements:

The first form has to be one of the following:

  • A state ID card, such as a driver's license
  • Passport (from the United States or another country) or passport card
  • U.S. permanent record card (aka green card)
  • Certificate of Naturalization
  • Armed Forces card
  • U.S. university ID card
  • Uniformed services ID card
  • Tribal identification card

The second form of identification can be an official document with your current mailing address, such as a utility bill, voter registration card, or vehicle registration.

These include:

  • Utility bill
  • Voter registration card
  • Vehicle registration card
  • Vehicle insurance policy
  • Home insurance policy
  • Lease
  • Mortgage
  • Deed of Trust
  • Form I-94, arrival and departure record

It's important that the address you use on the 1583 match the physical address listed on one or both of your forms of identification.

A state drivers license and passport are the two preferred forms to use. Additionally, you will be required to update the 1583 form with us when your physical address changes or when the ID you provided expires.

Yes and No! This is better than a PO Box. PO Boxes only allow you to receive US Mail and packages in many cases. Your private mailbox with us gives you a real street address for UPS, FedEx, Amazon, Freight and mail. Basically anything you could receive at a home address, you can receive with us (additional fees may apply for freight and other large items, please see rental agreement for details).
