Pack-and-ship centers: skip the franchise fee, the money is in the mailboxes

Codie pitches building an independent pack-and-ship center (think FedEx/UPS without the 25% franchise fee). The real profit isn't taping boxes — it's renting the little PO box mailboxes out front.

“So this is pack and ship centers. So basically think FedEx, UPS, except get rid of the franchise fees because that's 25% of your, your profit off the top. And instead you just put, you know, Sam and Sean's Shipping Center on the front of it.”

Steal thisOpen an unbranded pack-and-ship store to dodge the 25% franchise fee, and make your margin on rented mailboxes, not box-taping.
