P & P Shipping Store (Brooklyn): How to Prepare Packages for FedEx, UPS, or DHL Drop-Off and Get Passport Photos Done

P & P Shipping Store is a Brooklyn, New York counter service for shipping prep and office needs, with passport photo services plus a free package drop-off option for FedEx, UPS, and DHL. The store lists its address as 746 Manhattan Ave (between Norman & Meserole), Brooklyn, NY 11222, and the phone number as +1 718-389-2823.

What to bring for FedEx/UPS/DHL drop-off (so the counter can process it fast)

For any carrier drop-off, the goal is the same: have the parcel ready and the paperwork/labels aligned with the destination. Before arriving, confirm the essentials for your exact shipment type—especially whether the counter can accept the package as already-packed and labeled, or whether it needs packing, box selection, or additional handling.

P & P’s public info highlights shipping services and free drop-off for FedEx, UPS, and DHL, but the “fastest” experience usually depends on how complete your package is when you get to the counter. A good rule: if anything would require a decision at the counter (box size, label corrections, or how to handle a fragile item), expect the visit to take longer.

When packing and supplies matter more than the carrier label

P & P describes itself as a one-stop shop for office and art supply needs, and it also sells packing materials. That matters because the package’s physical protection is what keeps the shipment viable, regardless of which carrier you pick.

If the item is fragile, irregularly shaped, or you’re unsure about which box/packing materials to use, treat packing as part of the drop-off plan—not an afterthought. Ask the counter what packing materials they recommend for your item type, and whether they can prepare moving/packing boxes or handle the job as a bundle with your print and document tasks.

Tip: print and office tasks are often easier to combine before the drop-off

Because P & P lists copy and print services along with shipping support, it’s reasonable to plan any label-related or document-related printing before handing the parcel over. If you’re coordinating a shipment for a business return, an order exchange, or an international submission (requirements can vary), bringing printed copies of the key documents you’ll need can reduce back-and-forth.

How passport photo services fit into a “same-visit” workflow

In addition to shipping, the store lists passport photo services. If passport photos are part of the reason for the visit, coordinate the timing: you generally want the counter to take care of the photo service according to the requirements of your form or application timeline, while your package prep stays organized for the drop-off.

Bring your application instructions if you have them, and plan to handle any document printing and packaging prep in a sequence that avoids rework.

Counter questions worth asking before you leave the parcel behind

To make the drop-off smooth, ask targeted questions that match the job you’re actually doing. These are the areas that usually decide whether the counter can accept the package without delays:

• Is the parcel accepted as-is (already packed and ready), or do you need packing help?
• Do you need to print or re-print labels or documents before the carrier handoff?
• What packaging materials are appropriate for fragile or valuable items?
• Which carrier option is best for this shipment type (FedEx vs. UPS vs. DHL), if you haven’t already finalized it?

P & P’s store information also lists Thursday hours from 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM, and it indicates the shop is open 7 days. Since hours and day-by-day timing can matter for drop-offs and photo service availability, verify the schedule before you go.

One visit plan: ship drop-off + printing + passport photos without chaos

If the trip includes multiple tasks, the easiest approach is to reduce decisions at the counter. Start with what requires human checking (the passport photos and any printing/document work), then move to package readiness (box, packing materials, and final label alignment). That sequence helps keep the drop-off from turning into a “fix it on the spot” situation.
