What truly sets ParcelPedia apart is their refreshing approach to customer service. While many businesses reserve their best deals for loyalty program members, James proudly explains that everyone receives "VIP treatment" from the moment they walk through the door. "No one is any more special than anybody else," he says, emphasizing that the team actively looks for ways to help every customer save money, whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth.

That's done a DHL or anythingwith US mail, priority mail and

So if you have three, four,five, six shipments to do, it's
a good time to round them all upand get 10% off your total bill
.
Just again, just mentionpodcast while you're here that
you saw it or that you saw ityou know.
Come across your Facebook feedand we're happy, happy to apply
that discount for you.
That's just the one discount weoffer, special one for the

We also offer first-timeshipper discount.

(02:09):
So anytime someone comes in andships for the very first time
we've never had them in thestore we always offer automatic
10% off any shipping that theymay use.
Other ways to save in the storeto stretch your dollar is bulk.
A lot of ways to save are byusing bulk.
So if you're coming to Shred,we do it off of a weight basis.
It's bulk.
A lot of ways to save are byusing bulk.
So if you're coming to shred,we do it off of a weight basis.
It's 99 cents per pound.
However, if you may have beentuned into our shredding episode

(02:30):
, you will know that over 35pounds gets you down to 80 cents
per pound.
So if you have paper and it'spiling up, it's good, let it
pile up a little bit.
That way you can save somemoney on the back end by
bringing it all in one go.
You some money on the back endby bringing it all in one go.
Another way to save if you'reshipping out, you should
regularly or you ship maybe somethings to friends or family
members find if you can find away to ship multiple items in

(02:52):
one box versus you know, I'llship a thing on Monday and then
come back on Wednesday and shipand come back on Friday and ship
you're gonna spend way moremoney doing it.
That way we can help you boxthings up so you don't have to
box them up.
You can bring them all to usand we'll pack it in the most
cost-effective way and that'llhelp you save right away.
As far as any kind of likecoupons cut out, clip out

(03:13):
coupons we don't really do that.
We don't force you to do that.
We're always looking to findthe best value for you while
you're here.
So we're always shopping thebest price and we're always let
you know.
Hey, you're just about twocopies away from going down a
tier in our per copy pricing, soif you like, you can do a
couple more.
If you're here to get officesupplies, we'll let you know
which ones are.
Buy one, get one free, so thatyou can double up on your

(03:35):
purchases.
Just, it's just kind of thephilosophy, the psychology here.
We're always just looking tosave and looking to make things
easier for you and just moreefficient.
So that's just some of the fewways that we help you save.
But as far as like actual, truediscount codes podcast, will
get you the 10% off every time.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Now is the coupon valid across all services like
shredding, packing and mailboxrentals.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
The podcast coupon is more geared towards shipping,
though.
You know, if you come andyou're and you're adamant about
using a coupon and all you needto do is shred, we'll help you
out.
I mean, that's the spirit ofPartsopedia.
You know, you came in here withthe code.
We'll find a way to use it foryou.
So the only thing that is offlimits and it's not us, it's
just the way it works is USgovernment.
I can't reduce postage stampslower than what the actual rate

(04:22):
of postage stamps are, nor cando that for like their first
class postage.
So, unfortunately, the privacyof the post office it's hard to
beat that.
That's where you get see acrossthe board, no matter where you
go.
But other than that, your FedEx, your international notary,
it's another state fee.
I can't take the fee down.
But ways to save is if you needmultiple copies of a notary,

(04:43):
bring them all at once, becauseany additional copies are just
an additional dollar, versus ifyou do a notary one day and then
come in the next day and say,hey, I need another one of these
.
It's going to be a brand new$10 fee because it's a new
notary, new input for that dayand a whole new record, so it's
better to knock it out once, andthat way it'll save you some
money.
If you have a multi-page notary, you'll save that way too,

(05:06):
because we obviously needadditional pages of the dollar
each.
Just little things, so littletips and tricks.
You can always call in, you cantune into the podcast, where
you'll learn different ways tosave, but just come and let us
know like hey, I'm working withthis budget and we'll find a way
to make it work.
So we're here to help you.
We're not here to pick yourpocket, we're here to help you,
and you can pick our brains.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Now, how are coupon announcements made?
Is it online, in-store, orthrough the podcast only?

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah, so not podcast only.
Every now and again, especiallyduring the holidays, it's a
great time to watch out on theFacebook, as we'll make a post
and let you know what kind ofdeals we may have going.
Sometimes it's deals off supply, sometimes it's deals on, like
stocking stuffers around theChristmas time, and sometimes
it's a special on the passportphotos during, like the
summertime.
So it's a good idea to look inat the Facebook page, but we'll

(05:51):
also post it here on the podcast.
We'll let you know when we havethe deals coming up and you can
always call us or just go toour website as well.
Parcelpediacom.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Are there currently any of the coupons right now for
passports?

Speaker 3 (06:05):
So no, I don't have a current passport coupon right
now.
I can tell you, though, evenwithout the coupon, we are the
most cost-effective passportphoto within the city of Frisco.
Across the board.
No one has a better price thanus.
So you're saving automaticallyby coming to us, but typically
at the start of the summer, likeright around end of May, june,
is when we have those passportspecials now, what feedback have

(06:28):
you heard from customers whouse these coupons regularly?
um, you know one one thing theylove is our copies, our copy
coup coupons.
So it's not necessarily acoupon, it's just a pricing
structure.
Anytime you go over 100 copies,you automatically slash the
cost in half.
So, like our teachers, you knowour after school programs.
They love that because they'remaking so many printouts and

(06:51):
they know that they come herethe bigger the job, the better
the price.
So they just love that idea.
So those are some of the waysyou know that we're trying to
help you out.
Um, if you're going to beprinting, those means we'll save
some money and get the morebang for your buck by getting a
larger quantity for yourself.
So, um, those are some of thethings that we see on a regular
basis, people knowing you knowthat's what they need to do to
get that price structure.

(07:11):
Um, and also our mailboxes.
We know we offer a deal onrenewals.
When you go to six months or ayear, we always throw in some
free months.
So a lot of our mailbox holderswill opt for that when they
renew, and they use that justabout every time because they
know it's like, hey, if I'mgoing to be paying for it, I may
as well get more value for mydollars, so they typically go
for that option.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Final question for you today are there plans to
expand the coupon program orintroduce a loyalty rewards?

Speaker 3 (07:39):
So one thing I've always stressed here no one is
any more special than anybodyelse.
You know, I like to, I like tobelieve that anyone that walks
into Parcelpedia whether theyfresh to Frisco or fresh to
Texas, or maybe been here andlive in there 60 years, but just
walking around for the firsttime I'm going to treat you like
a customer that comes to meevery day, and that's to say

(08:01):
that everyone's treated at thehighest level of respect.
We're going to give you thebest deal, we're going to help
you out to the best of ourcapabilities and we're always
going to get you out of the doorat the least amount of money
out of your pocket as possible.
So we're not here to try to getyou to spend a lot.
We're here to try to help youand in that way, a lot of times
that is saving you money.
So no loyalty programs, butjust understand that we're
always loyal to the customer.

(08:22):
So as soon as you walk throughthe door, you're going to be
getting VIP access.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Amazing.

save up Parcelpedia.
