Dallas Fort Worth Absentee-Owned Mail-Pack-Ship Center For Sale

Dallas/ Ft. Worth Metroplex, Texas, US
Asking Price:
$1,400,000 Furniture / Fixtures and Inventory / Stock included
Sales Revenue:
$1,100,000
Cash Flow:
$383,943

The Company is a well-established, premier ~25+ year independent retail shipping and business services center that runs profitably under a full-time manager with the owner absentee. The store ships through UPS, FedEx, USPS and DHL, prepares LTL and air freight, and offers professional packing, custom box making and custom crating for items that do not fit a standard box. It also rents physical and virtual mailboxes, sells USPS postage and stamps, and provides copying, printing, document scanning, faxing, notary, secure document shredding, office supplies, greeting cards and specialty gifts. The store has earned repeat recognition as a top-tier UPS Authorized Shipping Outlet and a FedEx Authorized ShipCenter, and it has built a standout reputation across the regional fine-art community for safely packing, crating and shipping high-value, large and fragile artwork. A knowledgeable, courteous team serves affluent residents and businesses across the Dallas Fort Worth area, knows most customers by name, and saves them time at a true one-stop location.
The business sits on a major Dallas Fort Worth thoroughfare in a high-traffic, upscale retail corridor with easy access and ample parking. The trade area carries strong demographics, with discretionary income that customers gladly spend on convenience and service. The customer base mixes small-office and home-office (SOHO) businesses, corporate road warriors, professionals, homemakers and schools, with no single customer driving meaningful revenue concentration. The store also serves as a trusted shipping and packing resource for major regional museums, event venues, medical institutions and arts organizations. New carrier and e-commerce returns programs across FedEx, UPS and Amazon drive roughly 3 to 10 new customers through the door every day.
Revenue has held remarkably steady across the past five years, ranging from ~$1.07M to ~$1.17M, with FY2025 at ~$1.1M. The 2025 sales mix runs ~67% shipping and carrier services (UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL and freight), ~11% professional packing, custom boxes and crating, ~7% USPS postage and stamps, ~7% mailbox rentals, ~5% copy, print, fax, notary and shredding, and ~3% retail gifts, cards and other. Mailbox rentals are prepaid on term leases, which delivers steady, recurring, high-margin income and brings loyal customers back through the door.
The owner stepped back from daily operations after promoting a full-time manager in 2024, and the store has continued to run profitably without owner involvement. A new owner gains a turnkey, manager-run operation with a trained team in place. The owner plans to offer a manager retention bonus tied to 12 to 24 months of continued service, which protects the transition for an absentee buyer. An owner-operator who chooses to work the counter can capture additional earnings by absorbing the manager role.
The owner views the trained, professional team, the choice of four major carriers, in-house custom crating and freight capability, ~25+ years at the same trusted location, and long-standing customer relationships as the Company's core advantages. The business is recession-resistant and rides durable e-commerce tailwinds, since rising online purchase volumes and returns keep driving demand for packing, shipping and returns handling. The store currently operates at roughly ~80% of capacity, which leaves real room to grow revenue within the existing footprint. A new, energetic owner can grow sales and profits in many proven ways: 1) raise mailbox rental rates after a market pricing review, 2) expand virtual mailbox subscriptions at very low incremental cost, 3) push high-margin custom packing, crating and freight, 4) expand printing and graphic design, 5) court local businesses and medical offices for house accounts, and 6) capture more of the growing e-commerce returns market.

Expansion Potential:

The business has built a strong ~30-year reputation for quality and specialized work, and much of its revenue comes from repeat customers and referrals. The owner has grown the store through location, signage, social media, community engagement, Google reviews, carrier-sponsored drop-off and returns programs, and direct referrals. The store has served as a training and best-practices model for other locations. A new, energetic owner can grow sales and profits in many proven ways: 1) raise mailbox rental rates after a market pricing review, 2) expand physical and virtual mailbox subscriptions at very low incremental cost, 3) leverage the strong reputation to grow high-margin custom packing, crating and fine-art freight, 4) expand printing and graphic design, 5) add new revenue centers such as passport photos and additional virtual mailbox brands, 6) grow mail and package receiving for local clientele, 7) tighten accounts-receivable collections to improve cash flow, 8) refresh retail offerings to capture more walk-in traffic, 9) capture more of the fast-growing e-commerce returns market that already drives 3 to 10 new customers daily, and 10) Marketing to local businesses and medical offices to develop house accounts.

Competition / Market:

The retail shipping industry is competitive, yet meaningful barriers protect an established independent: high franchise fees and rigid systems for franchised operators, a loyal multi-year customer base, and the specialized knowledge required to pack, crate, ship and serve at a high level. This store adds a hard-to-replicate edge in custom crating and high-value fine-art shipping, plus certified international shipping expertise that customers increasingly seek. The store draws customers from a multi-mile radius, including some who drive well past closer options. The owner credits outstanding, professional, well-trained service and genuine convenience for keeping customers loyal.
