The Pack and Kin Co-op
Low-cost services, bought together.
Our co-op programs pool the buying power of every network store. Members use them at their own counters — and invite the local businesses they serve to use them too.
Shipping discounts
Network rates across major carriers, built straight into PAKS and available to invited businesses for their own shipping.
Payment processing
Card acceptance at co-op pricing, with no long-term contract.
Package insurance
Coverage for domestic and international parcels, with claims handled by the network instead of by you.
Freight
Quote and book LTL, truckload, rail, air and ocean freight across dozens of carriers.
Packaging & supplies
Member pricing on boxes, mailers, tape and fill through the Member Store.
Hardware & automation
Self-serve kiosks, parcel lockers and screens that work with PAKS, plus turnkey kiosks from our partner SEND.
Program terms, partners and pricing are set per program and shared with members. Ask your network store or our team for current details.
Invite-only for local businesses
Local businesses join our co-op programs through an invitation from their Pack and Kin store. That keeps the programs tied to real, local relationships, and the network pays that store for the work. Every program a business uses helps a local counter stay open.
How an invitation works
From neighbor to member in three steps.
Your store invites you
The network store you already ship with sends an invitation — or you ask for one at the counter.
Choose your programs
Use only what helps: shipping, card processing, insurance, freight or supplies.
Save, locally
You get co-op pricing, and your local store stays your go-to for help and drop-offs.
Who it’s for
The businesses your town runs on.
If you ship, take cards or buy supplies, the co-op is built for you — no franchise and no enterprise contract required.
