Before courier services, people either had to send their holiday packages to faraway lands on the backs of waddling penguins or limit wintertime gifting to e-cards and viruses. Experience the marvel of modern-day shipping with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $25 worth of packing services and $5 off shipping services at The UPS Store's five Dallas locations.

Known for being quick and convenient, The UPS Store is a three-headed office chimera belching forth flame-free shipping, printing, and office necessities. Each locale's 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. 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. For those tired of the unwashable ink stains and toxic silver fumes that result from door-to-door printing presses, this Groupon can also be used toward any of The UPS Store's printing services, which include color and black-and-white copying, digital printing, and brochure and business-card production.
