Welcome To PDQ Mail Plus

Serving Larchmont since 1993!

Monday, October 28, 2024

We have some sad news. Helen's father in law passed away Wedneday afternoon the 23rd after a long battle. We had shortened hours late last week and closed on Saturday.

One more adjustment will be made - the funeral will be Wednesday morning the 30th, and PDQ will be closed that morning to allow staff to attend the funeral. We will open on Wednesday at 1 pm.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

 

PDQ recognizes that many people are very concerned about porch pirates - people who steal packages from your doorstep. We now offer a special "packages only" mailbox option for $10 per month to receive up to 10 packages. PDQ will sign for, notify you and store your packages until you come to pick them up. See the flyer in the store for more details.

We have some good news for our remote customers. PDQ can now accept payments from remote customers via Zelle. Zelle is a nationwide 3rd party banking service that allows you to send payments directly from your bank account to ours. We've checked and virtually all banks seem to participate in this program. To use it, the customer will need to enroll in Zelle with their bank's online service. Once enrolled, you will need to set up PDQ as a recipient (use email option and pdqlarchmont@gmail.com as our secure ID). Then you can make payments right away. Please ask our staff for further information. Of course, we still accept credit and debit cards.

Effective January 1, 2022, styrofoam packing peanuts were banned in New York State (along with styro food packaging). PDQ took whatever leftover styro peanuts we had and re-purposed them to stores outside New York State). We switched to starch-based biodegradable peanuts.  As a result, PDQ will no longer accept styrofoam packaging - peanuts or pre-formed blocks. Contact your local town to find out how to recycle these items. 

PDQ Mask Rules:
We are trying to maintain a safe environment at PDQ for all staff and customers. We ask  anyone with any symptoms that could be viral-related (seasonal allergies or coughing and sneezing, for example) to wear a face mask.  Please help us in our efforts whether you are vaccinated or not. Our staff is fully vaccinated. Thanks for your cooperation.

NEW INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMS REGULATIONS. Since March 2021 there are new customs requirements for virtually all of Europe - all 27 EU countries plus Norway and Switzerland (for now, not the UK due to Brexit). For each item, we need to find and include the harmonized code to properly classify each item in the shipment. This will help ensure the proper duties and taxes are assigned to each shipment, and will help to expedite customs clearance for these packages. This regulation applies to all carriers and all shippers. And it would not surprise us to see this requirement be rolled out to more countries in the foreseeable future.

We ask each customer with a package to these countries to bring with them an accurate list of items in the package; we must provide a detailed description for each item - words like "clothing", "electronics" "personal effects" or "gift" just won't cut it, and generally all international items need at least a 3-word description. If we can't itemize properly, your recipient (and possibly you, the shipper) are liable to pay higher duties and taxes on the shipment, as well as significantly slow down the customs clearance process and delay delivery. For example, a cotton t-shirt will have a different code than a ladies' silk designer shirt. We understand that this can be a somewhat tedious practice, but it has to be done. We have access to the database of codes and will do our best to properly describe each item with you - that's why PDQ is your local shipping expert.
