Shipping and coffee were the twin pillars of every great civilization—and caused the ironic downfall of Rome when hordes of Visigoths mailed themselves to the capital and clubbed its citizens with sacks of espresso beans. Keep America from sinking into the sea by combining the two with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of organic coffee, shipping, and more at Sip & Ship, a one-stop shipping center that's also a full-service coffee shop. This Groupon is good for its locations on Market Street in Ballard and Greenwood Avenue in Greenwood.

Sip & Ship's ship-and-sippers can buy their parcels a ticket out of Seattle with Sip & Ship's expert packaging services ($6 for a packed 6”x6”x6” box), ship it hassle-free, then come back later to receive a reply package—the shop is an authorized receiving location for FedEx, UPS, and DHL. Sip & Ship's friendly staff can also gift-wrap presents (starting at $4.75) so that Grandma can excitedly unwrap her new Twilight boogie board when it's delivered. This comes in especially handy for last-minute shoppers, who can snag a stylish local T-shirt, mug, or jacket on-site, along with a wide assortment of cards for every occasion from "Thank you" to "Get well soon from your freak javelin accident."

After finally firing their priceless collection of antique packing peanuts toward its end zone, postal quarterbacks can reward themselves with a cup of organic, farm-direct coffee, featuring fresh, locally roasted espresso. The sipping end of Sip & Ship brews up a full array of hot and iced espresso drinks, green chai teas, and fruity Italian sodas. Stubborn shippers who insist on waiting in the store until their package receives a reply can stay nourished with homemade scones and cookies, seasonal soups, and sandwiches for both breakfast and lunch. Relax within Sip & Ship's spacious, tasteful coffee shop, surf on the café's free WiFi, and renew your pen-pal relationship with a Turkmenistan totalitarian with today's Groupon.

  • I love this place. It's so great to avoid the long line at the Post Office. Plus, it's family owned. – eric b., Yelp
  • I have many out of town friends and family and when it's time to send someone a gift I can stop by the sip and ship, find a gift, have them wrap it up beautifully and ship it for me. – mariac, Urbanspoon
  • The staff is one of the most friendly I've encountered. – franciscomontalvo, Citysearch

Sip and Ship

Long waits and harsh lighting are just two inconveniences that can plague a standard trip to the post office. The process leaves little room for relaxation, let alone time to kick back and enjoy a freshly made latte. That's what Sip and Ship hopes to remedy. The family-owned business combines two different worlds—the post office and a coffee shop—into an operation that runs as smoothly as its coffee goes down.

The process is both friendly and simple: customers bring in items they need to send far away, such a piece of art, an old-fashioned letter, or a cursed monkey's paw. The Sip and Ship team wraps, packs, and ships it—all while customers wind down with organic, locally roasted drinks and homemade cookies and scones. In between all the sipping and shipping, customers can squeeze in some shopping, too; the store stocks its shelves with bottled wine, bath products, and even children's toys.

The Groupon Guide to: Dustups

In places where spirituous liquids flow and passions run high, it is not unusual for two tie-loosened gadabouts to swap boisterous boasts until they're finally forced to "step outside," in "shirtsleeves," to "put aside their cross words for their right cross," if one follows. Face your fisticuffs fearlessly with these tips to surviving your next scrap:

Name your fists: People will assume you're green if you show up to a donnybrook with unnamed fists and will alert their friends to get a load of you. Show them you're on the trolley by choosing complementary names such as George and Martha, or non sequitur names such as Steamship Zero and The Appler.

Size up your opponent: Try looking right in their eye. Did they look away, even if it was just to spit? Then, presumably, they ain't so tough. They probably had a few too many and just need to be taught some manners is all. They ain't so tough.

Flatten them: Your opponent is now flattened. Not so hot, now, are you, loudmouth? Consider that a word to the wise.

Now help them up: Attaboy. You look like you could use a drink.

Congratulations: The person you have just shoved onto the ground is now your greatest friend for life.

Can naming your fists help you win your next dustup?
