Awesome place to deal with! Always friendly and courteous when I walk in the door. They are a better value(did I mention friendlier too) than Hagens down the street as you don’t have to pay a yearly fee. Paypal credit topup is super convenient as I rarely carry cash :)

So far so good, Pulse! Easy sign-up. Fill out an application online and you’re sent a customer number. You can start receiving packages pretty quickly after signing up. Easy pickup. You get notified via email when a package arrives, and the pickup fees are a reasonable US$ 2.50 or CAN$ 2.75. No annual fees. Let keep it this way. Fees are the reason I abandoned some of the other shipping facilities in Blaine.

I am going back to Pulse Packages after using 5d packages for a short while. I am not happy with 5d. See my review of them. PS. the owner needs to be «slapped» for having some of the worst hours of any parcel pickup place in Blaine. They also don’t respond to social media. However, I don’t ship much so it’s not a big deal. Just be warned as everyone has said. their hours simply suck. If the owner doesn’t want to pay the staff to work an extra 3.5 hours, then come in yourself. Don’t be a cheapskate. Your prices aren’t the lowest in town.

I used to go to Hagens of Blaine, when it was a family business, and staff were friendly, fees were reasonable, and there was some leniency. Things changed after they expanded. Some of the new staff were, let’s just say unprofessional, they charged late fees even if it was a couple days late, and the annual fee finally convinced me to try Pulse Packages. I’m glad I did. Pulse is what Hagens used to be. The owner and staff are always friendly, and welcoming. They provide recycling for everything including bags, which I believe they have to pay for out of pocket, and the 30 day storage time frame is a lot more reasonable than 2 weeks. There’s no annual fee too! Highly recommend, however, just beware of their hours. There’s a calendar on their website that shows all their hours including holiday ones.

I was a little skeptical at first when I saw how dirt cheap it was to accept packages for only 2.75 Canadian for my 40 lb package, with the possibility of up to a 100 lb limit this place charges the lowest price by far compared to other package receiving companies in the area who charge a yearly fee and a much higher receiving fee per package. This place is my official go to place for amazon orders. I was a little hesitant about mentioning my positive experience because I was feeling selfish and don’t really want this place to get popular to avoid lines but it’s the least I can do for them.

I am getting married next week and throughout the wedding planning process I’ve been sending packages to Pulse Packages to save on shipping to Canada. Pros: Staff are friendly, nice Pre-paid credits(through paypal) Email reminders Hold packages for 30 days no fee Reasonable rates Cons: Hours! If you work, this place may not be for you; not open on Sundays, and only open later than 5 on Tuesdays — it’s super inconvenient for people who hold down jobs during the day.

I used to use Hagen’s for package receiving in Blaine but stopped going to them a couple of years ago when they started charging an annual fee. Pulse Packages is just down the street, with their entrance off the side street. It’s a smaller location but clean and safe. Pros: — No annual fee! — Flat rate of $ 2.50/package up to 100 lbs. — Hold packages for up to 30 days before extra charges begin(most places are 2 weeks) — Efficient email notification system and reminder email sent after 2 – 3 weeks if you haven’t picked up — Can prepay and have ‘credits’ to your account or pay at time of pickup Cons: — Closed Sundays This has been my go-to package service in Blaine for the past year! Hope they continue to keep the same rates and service!

I converted from Hagen’s of Blaine as the rates and holding times for packages were more attractive– $ 2.75 Cdn/package(and you can prepay for packages with CANADIAN funds online) plus they hold your packages for 30 days before incurring extra fees! Efficient notification by email and they’re fast when picking up your packages but there’s never been a lineup when I’ve gone in. I haven’t had any issues with my(many) packages and I’ve used them several different occasions. Downsides: –no shipping service unless there’s a prepaid return label on the package so you have to go elsewhere to send –no computer/printer(use the local library if necessary) –no mirror for those of us trying on some of our purchases! –wish their email notification system included the company name along with the package #

I found out about pulse packages when a friend had customer service problems with another mail service company a block away and then discovered pulse packages. I’ve been using pulse packages since May 2013 and very pleased with their services. There is no annual fee, no storage fees for 30 days, and a flat fee of $ 2.50 up to 100 lbs. It is definitely a no brainier to use them for your parcel service. I hope they will not change their fees when they become busier. They will email you when your packages arrive and you have up to 30 days to pick up to avoid extra charges whereas other companies will only have 2 weeks. I am very satisfied and recommended to friends and families who have also switch to pulse packages. I do wish they were open on Sundays for pick up and close on the Mondays instead.
