My favorite shop will bag beans for me from their bulk bags that they have for pourover, etc. The price is often better than I get otherwise, and the beans are almost always fresher than the retail packs.
I'm sure not every shop will (or has capacity to) do this, but it might be worth checking. I always tip for the service as well ( It's still cheaper than shipping). That might help encourage the practice to continue!
