<p>WILKES-BARRE &#8212; Jeff Thomas, president of Business Office Systems Inc. and Gold Star Wide Format, announced the expansion of services to include JT Billyboxes at 33 S. Wilkes-Barre Blvd. located in the Station Complex.</p><p>Along with the Wilkes Barre Chamber of Business and Industry, Thomas held a ribbon cutting Friday. The business offers complete packing and shipping services, mailbox rentals, full service digital printing, full color posters and banners, desktop publishing, direct mail services and office supply sales.</p><p>&#8220;We anticipate a larger retail trade once the Station renovation is complete,&#8221; Thomas said.</p><p>&#8220;Offering mailbox rental and shipping services gives us more to offer our current customers and allows us to leverage existing resources to appeal to the new retail customers the additional tenants will attract. This economy of scale will result in exceptional service and pricing across the board,&#8221; he said.</p><p>In addition to topographical maps and technical drawings, the wide-format color machines on premises can be used to make banners and posters for birthdays and special occasions, he said. Small business customers can pick up plans and take them straight to the post office, he said.</p><p>Customers who use the &#8220;Billyboxes&#8221; can use the business&#8217; physical address instead of a post office box and have their inbound packages accepted at the business. Thomas said. The business can notify customers by text or phone when important correspondence arrives. JT Billyboxes is a member of Retail Shipping Associates and has been approved by the US Postal Service as a Certified Mail Receiving Agent.</p><p>Thomas also unveiled a &#8220;Digital Design Kiosk&#8221; where customers can work with a representative to design ad hoc posters, business cards and promotional materials. They can then have them printed on site and delivered the same day in most cases.</p><p>Customers using the packing and shipping services can select the shipper after being shown the prices for the US Postal Service, FEDEX, UPS and DHL, Thomas said.</p><style>
