Chinatown Mail Services Inc.

Mailing a package across town—or across the world—doesn’t always require a trip to the post office. In Manhattan’s Chinatown, a small but reliable option sits at Confucius Plaza, 39 Bowery, where Chinatown Mail Services Inc. handles everything from domestic shipments to international parcels. They offer packing supplies, notary services, and even passport photos, which can be surprisingly hard to find when you need them. The neighborhood itself hums with activity, especially around the plaza, where the mix of old-world storefronts and modern necessities feels both practical and a little nostalgic. If you’re sending a care package, notarizing documents, or just need stamps, they cover the basics without fuss. Directions are easy to pull up on a map; the plaza is right off the Bowery, steps from the Manhattan Bridge. For questions or drop-offs, give them a call at (212) 226-0505.
