Flyby

Flyby falls into the busy lane of shipping and delivery services across New York without camping out on Madison Avenue. It sits on 900 Broadway, a stretch of flat-front buildings and quick foot traffic just above Herald Square. The storefront blends with the older storefronts in this section of Midtown, where locals and couriers move in tight formation each afternoon.

What brings people through the door isn’t window displays of boxed goods but a simple sign hanging above the awning: same-day, overnight, or scheduled pickup. They also handle international forwarding, duty calculations tucked into each shipment, so the forms never surprise recipients once the box lands overseas. Bulk items travel on pallets wrapped in gray plastic, and envelopes disappear into pneumatic tubes that whistle up the block.

Call (212) 473-4013 for pickup times and rates, or pull up the directions before you hop on the E train. After you drop off a crate or grab a same-day envelope, the walk to the 6 train is shorter than you expect.
