Poughkeepsie & Hyde Park, NY Pack & Ship Store

Soon after Shipping Place & More opened its doors in 1997, it became recognized as the area’s premier one-stop pack & ship center for consumers and businesses alike.

Ted
Owner

Shipping Place & More Ted Timmons, the owner of Shipping Place & More, grew up in central Indiana. He served in the US Marine Corps from 1974 to 1978. After completing his tour with an honorable discharge, Ted attended Purdue University, graduating with a BS in Computer Technology. He then worked as a programmer until he decided to become a business owner in 1998 and started Shipping Place & More. Once he had made the transition from his first career, Ted dedicated himself fully to running a top-notch shipping business and providing the best possible service to his customers.

Ted believes you should always be faithful to yourself, your family, friends, customers, and business associates. He understands honesty is the key to real success in all areas of life and business.
