Effingham, IL – November 11, 2026 – The Effingham County Chamber welcomes Effingham Shipping, LLC., a new, locally-owned business bringing packing and shipping services, as well as the UPS and FedEx brands, back to Effingham.
Owned by longtime Effingham business owner Wayne Moran, Effingham Shipping fills a need in the community following the closure of local and regional UPS and FedEx locations. Effingham Shipping is a PackageHub Business Center franchise member, one of more than 1,200 locations nationwide. Effingham Shipping is an official UPS Authorized Shipping Outlet, a FedEx Authorized Ship Center, and a CMRA (Certified Mail Receiving Agent) for the United States Postal Service.
Wayne told us that “joining PackageHub gave us tremendous value and an opportunity that is very rare in the retail shipping industry – having three major carriers – UPS, FedEx, and USPS, centralized under one roof. We’re able to create labels, ship for all three carriers, and show customers our competitive rates for UPS, FedEx and USPS – all on one screen. We also take hundreds of daily drop-offs for all three carriers, including packages for Amazon, Vinted, and more. And we’re able to scan QR codes for many retailers, including FedEx Easy Returns and Happy Returns, with more being added soon.”
Wayne added that his business has something else very rare in the shipping industry – “we’ve got a drive-thru. Less than 1% of shipping places worldwide have one, and we’re super-proud to offer it. If you’ve got little kids in the car, have trouble walking, or you’re in a hurry, using our drive-thru to drop-off small, prepared packages is something our customers love.”
Effingham Shipping carries a wide variety of boxes and packing supplies, including specialty boxes, bubble wrap, tape, padded envelopes, and more. Additional services include faxing, printing, document scanning, and shredding. The business also offers digital mailbox services through iPostal1. This service allows small business owners who may not have a physical address, or those with a travel-based job, to have a physical location to send their mail to and represent their customers.
Effingham Shipping is located at 1906 S. Banker Street in Effingham and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Parking and the entrance is located at the rear of the building.
