The Postal Shoppe Cherry Valley location is working to help control the spread of the COVID-19 Virus by reminding the public that they have a customer drive thru shipping option. The drive thru facility is the only one of its kind in Illinois.
Customers can avoid public crowds by using the customer friendly drive thru window. Customers can ship packages, buy stamps, and drop off prepaid boxes. Customers can also use the window to send out medicine, food, and other essentials to other family members who can’t get out.
“We appreciate how important it is to prevent the pandemic and are striving with new ideas to help.” Commented owner Larry Hinkle. “It is personally rewarding to work with a customer who needs our help. Fewer people are travelling lately, so our customers enjoy sending care packages to their loved ones to brighten their day.”
“Almost everything we do in our store can be done in our drive thru window for customers who prefer to remain in the security of their car. It has always been popular with elderly or disabled customers, as well as parents with children in car seats, and since the outbreak of the virus we’re seeing an increase in people that prefer the safe environment of their own automobile.” “Our stores still remain open for business as usual, and the drive thru option at Cherry Valley is available to anyone who needs it.”
A pack and ship convenience center opening first in the Edgebrook Center in 1998, the Postal Shoppe was originally established following Mr. Hinkle’s retirement from the U.S. Army. The Postal Shoppe on Perryville (2205 South Perryville Road [just South of Menards] in Cherry Valley), the second location in the market, was opened in November of 2004. The location on Perryville also offers the convenience of drive up shipping.
Employing the latest technology and offering an opportunity to select between competing carriers, the Postal Shoppe features pack & ship services, in house and traveling notary, fax service, color and black & white self-service photocopying and personal mail boxes and large format printing. Postal Shoppe services also include the capability to pack and ship large and fragile items including fine furniture. The business is also specializing in unusual items such as those shipped in response to eBay sales.
