Package receiving service at Uncle Marty’s is ideal for individuals who are expecting something important and don’t want it left on their porch or building lobby without a signature. It’s also great for incoming students who need a place to send their stuff!
Starting at just $4.99 per item, we’re glad to accept and sign for packages as long as we are notified of them in advance and the packages are of a reasonable size and weight. (We can’t keep your package safe if we can’t get it in the door!)
We’ll hold each package as a courtesy for up to seven business days from the date received so you can pick it up at a time that is good for your schedule. If you want your packages delivered directly to your door schedule an Ithaca area delivery and we will bring them right to you. If you need packages kept safe longer than seven days, we’ll be glad to move them into our secure storage area, starting at $15/month (details here).
Send us an email before having your package shipped to us to make sure we are expecting it. When it arrives we will send you a notification. Then all you have to do is bring in valid photo ID (a driver license works well) when you come to pay for and pick up your item.
