Before courier services, people either had to send their prized packages to faraway lands on the backs of waddling penguins or limit gifting to e-cards and viruses. Send your packages the new-fashioned way with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of packing and shipping services, plus two months of private business-sized mailbox rental (a $35 value per month) at The UPS Store in Southfield (a $95 total value).

Known for being quick and convenient, The UPS Store is a three-headed office chimera belching forth flame-free shipping, printing, and office necessities. Packaging experts take the hassle out of delivering gifts to far-off third cousins (twice removed) by using top-notch packaging materials and geometrical know-how ($20.32 for a 14"x14" box with packing peanuts and shipping costs included). Customers can cast their bundles off in whatever time frame works best, using one of the full range of UPS shipping options, including next-day air, ground, and international shipping.

In addition to delivering birthday presents and unwanted love letters, today's Groupon is also good for The UPS Store's mailbox services. Each business-sized box offers a bevy of benefits to professional and personal mailers alike, including secure 24-hour access, package notification, call-in mail check, and a real street address, for those looking to ditch their P.O. boxes on Sesame Street.
