Mail it Wright offers mail it here service

By David Ball

NEDERLAND — NEDERLAND — Eric Wright, owner of Mail it Wright Postal and Shipping Center — a family owned and operated business in Nederland, said his business offers many of the same kind of products and services as the U.S. Postal Service and some things they can’t offer.

“We opened last December — 10 months ago,” Wright said. “We’re a mail room and we do shipping and packing. I have 14 years with the U.S. Post Office prior to this (opening a business). We offer the same things, and more often and we’ll do it with a smile. Our customers prefer coming here — it’s more personal. There’s no long lines and more one-on-one service.

We have a hometown business-feel. Customers tell us it’s “So warm” and they want to be here. The atmosphere is more relaxed. We have variety here. We meet a demand on time and it’s all guaranteed.”

Wright, his wife and co-owner Deleta, and three children live in Mid-County.

Mail it Wright offers:

• Packaging

• Shipping- DHL, FedEx, U.S. Mail

• Mailbox rental

• Copying- black/white and color

• Fax

• Notary

• Binding

• Laminating

• Key chains

• Greeting cards

• Candles

• Candle warmers

• Texas home decor and gifts

• Texas postcards

• Computer rental station

• Wireless Internet rental

• Office supplies

• Packing supplies

• Postage stamps

• Boxes- moving and/or packing

• Bulk mail process

The business also carries unique gifts, packing supplies, gift wrapping, fancy envelopes, decorative boxes and Tickelopes greeting cards.

Wright said he gives customers upfront pricing so there will be no surprises such as overnight delivery. He said he likes to educate customers on their shipping needs.

Wright added a customer would have to pay over $100 for shipping a package at the post officer versus paying $17 at Mail it Wright.
