LPH Shipping

Thanks again to Unilocal for finding us a great place to pack and ship important items. Jimmy took terrific care to pack a number of fragile Italian Majolica pottery pieces that are family heirlooms. They all arrived in perfect condition in LA.
Jimmy was efficient and very friendly. The crew there all helped to unload the delicate pottery when we double-​parked on the street. On my first visit I couldn’t wait around for them to pack everything, so he called me with the final quote, got my credit card number, and even sent scans of the receipts to my email. Awesome! I’m never going anyplace but LPH to ship my packages.

I love this place. all the guys that work there are friendly, fast and efficient! I highly reccomend them. and they give out dog treats to boot!

Honestly the nicest, most helpful, professional shipping company I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They are always attentive and they give my tiny dog a special treat every time we come in. They now have her so well trained that I can’t take her for a neighborhood walk without having her try to pull me to LPH Shipping for her special treat!
Smart dog, great service, great people!

Run by nice guys who are very good at their job. Have shipped delicate, fragile pieces that they packed. All arrived in perfect condition. They also have P.O. Boxes if you need one.

In today’s urban world of mail and package delivery it is always nice to have a place nearby where my mail feels secure and my privacy is protected.
Costs about $ 300 for a private box where I have piece of mind that my monthly non-​digital checks and bills will get to me and more importantly I can get packages picked up and delivered with the assuredness that they will not be stolen from my doorway if I can’t be there.
On one occasion I was having problems getting some furniture delivered to my home and they not only took the packages while I was gone, but Jimmy brought the heavy pieces over to my home! (yes tip them).
I do a lot of ebay sales and use them to send out my packages for the rates suggested by the platform. A great service in today’s world given that the USPS is not always as reliable as it used to be.
They come in especially handy around the holiday times for package delivery and make sure your packages arrive on time or packaged correctly. They also do notary services which has been very helpful.
For those who love dogs, they always have treats!

Christmas was really stressful, I want to thank LPH team for putting up with my requests and demands. USPS does not allow me to send Wine, so I safely sent cases of wine from Sonoma to my family on the East Coast, shipping was neatly packed.
Super accommodating customer service.

Friendly, knowledgable and appropriately urgent in their service. I could not ask for more.

I came to SF on vacation in August and due to the overflow in my suitcase I opted to ship some things back to myself back in Texas. When I dropped off my small box to be shipped, the gentleman at the counter asked me which method of delivery. I told him I was in no hurry to receive my package. So he gave me a couple of options and I paid $ 18.00 to ship my small box back to my home in Texas. He said he didn’t know when I would receive my package and then laughed about it. Almost a month later I had yet to receive my package. I used the tracking info they gave me, and no record was found. It’s October now and I still haven’t received my package and when I called them with the tracking number they were very unhelpful. Needless to say my package is most likely lost and I’ll never receive it. I’ll never ship my things through a third party ever again.

It is quite a rare occurrence for me to compile reviews on Unilocal,but after my experience at LPH, I felt quite compelled to encourage other individuals to utilize LPH’s shipping services. I strongly feel that quality customer service is highly under appreciated at logistic and print traffic businesses such as FedEx Kinko’s and the US Post Office. Because LPH is a retail shipping store, they do charge a premium for their shipping services. I must say, I was truly amazed at their customer service and knowledge surrounding logistics. I was more than happy to pay the extra mark up price for a UPS Ground package shipped to the East Coast. Not only did they offer selected services that would have guaranteed a specific delivery date (i.e. FedEx Overnight and FedEx 2day/​3day), but they even suggested services that was more economically efficient for my budget (i.e. Priority Mail and UPS Ground) with all their estimated delivery dates. I ended up shipping some gifts that included breakable items. Since my package was going all the way to the East Coast, they did a thorough and exceptional job of explaining in great detail how they were going to package the breakable items, stating that they would wrap the items in tissue paper, then reinforce it with bubble wrap, and to add extra protection, fill the excess space in the box with packing peanuts. Aside from their remarkable shipping services, they also provide black & white/​color copying, laminating, binding, faxing services, scan & email services, business card printing, and even NOTARIZATION!!! LPH is truly your one stop shop for shipping and business office services. Do not hesitate to ask for Jimmy when you’re in the store.

I normally don’t write reviews but I had such a great experience that I had to share it. So I had this box of wine that I had to have shipped to a friend on the east coast. After driving around for 5 minutes look for parking, I park at the fire hydrant in front so that I could drop off the wine. The gentleman with the glasses, without asking, offered to grab the box of wine from my backseat and bring it into the store. Once I found parking, I headed back to the store the two gentleman had packed my wine into a shipping box already! I asked them which was better the company to ship this wine safely and they said UPS. I was thinking about going to the Post Office on the corner of Parker and Geary to ship the wine, but they told me that it was illegal to ship wine and/​or alcohol via USPS. So I ended up shipping it UPS Ground. Even though it took a week to arrive to my friends house, it came in perfect condition. I spent a lot of time deciding what to do but these people their are very knowledgeable about shipping and they were not irritated that I asked a lot of questions. No wonder this place has so many 4 or 5 star ratings. I live in the Outer Sunset and I would not mind driving across town to do business with them again.

I wish I had a better experience and came here based upon the stellar reviews. Unfortunately, I feel I was way overcharged for a simple shipment of five bottles of wine to my mother-​in-​law back east. I showed up with a proper box and secure packaging (all provided by the vineyard). I asked for the least expensive rate to ship the package. I ended up being charged $ 50.40 for UPS ground. And it took all of ten days to get to its destination. I’m sorry, but the gentlemen who helped me did not seem like he knew what he was doing. His coke bottle glasses and hesitation on the computer terminal did not reassure me that I was getting accurate information. I came home and looked up the same dimensions and weight via
and I could have saved a lot more $$ and the package would have arrived much quicker. I would have happily gone to the post office on Geary and now we know better.

This is my very first Unilocal review, but I had to sign on to expound on others’ reviews of the terrific customer service at LPH Shipping. I will never go to another shipping location in SF! Very reasonable prices too.

I brought a flat panel tv in that I needed packaged to check-​in at SFO, they did an amazing job mailing new box on my first trip to LPH. I returned to get a quote to ship some oversized salon chairs to Kansas, again they were able to help me make it happen and and at such a reasonable price.
I highly recommend LPH Shipping for all your postal needs! Excellent customer service and they know their stuff! These guys are great!

Ok, so even though this is in a sheeshee part of town, Jimmy and his gang are totally down to earth. I thought the concept of customer service was extinct until I came in to ship off a package recently. Super nice folks who seem to really take pride in their work and in providing superior – and I mean SUPERIOR but not creepy – customer service.
I found out that the owner, Jimmy, has spot on Cantonese too, which is awesome b/​c my mom’s just around the corner and she’s always struggling with English language barriers (hence, me having to ship her packages). So now she can ship her own packages! Ha! Freedom!

Today I needed to ship six packages and the guys at LPH shipping made it super easy — they came out to my car to help move the boxes into the store, carefully took the address info and double checked it with me on the computer, and informed me of the options I had for shipping. I have been having the type of week that made me dread thinking about going to the post office (or any place where I feel like I need to know exactly what I want and what I to fill out before I ask for it). LPH made things simple and I can see why they have all the highly rated reviews.

I’ve only used this place for basic office stuff — photocopies, scan, fax, etc — but they’ve always been fast and reliable and with good customer service.

Easy place in the neighborhood to drop off UPS and Fed ex shipments. Great guys work there and they are pleasant to deal with.
Parking can be crazy so I park at peninou’s green spot… sorry all you laundry folks

I ship/​mail /​post packages for clients all the time and I default to LPH — no matter where I am in SF — because the team there is so smart — so professional and friendly. They have never been «stumped» by an outlandishly bizarre shaped package or unusual shipping conditions. Parking can be a challenge — but it is so worth it! Yep, this is a 5-​star store…

I used LPH Shipping to help with my move from Seattle SF.
Jimmy was super helpful and friendly and made the moving process so easy!
LPH can help with any process or aspect of shipping, just ask and they’ll take care of you!
I can’t imagine using any other service :)

I love this place. Fast, Easy, and Friendly.
The people here are professional, responsible, clear, and helpful for what’s needed.
Super recommend this place for shipping!
