I used to love coming here when the old owner was running it. The new guy in charge (I think Jeremy) is just a rude human being. Every time I go in there he talks over you, interrupts you, talks to his customers and staff very poorly. His poor workers are so helpful and nice but are constantly being "made an example" of. It's honestly hard to watch and I will be taking my business elsewhere from now on. read more

This place is the best. The owner is great and so is the staff. You can tell She treat her staff nice. It is a real small place. But they have mail boxes, package storage place (behind the counter), greeting card, a little bit of basic supplies, and of course a few copy machines as notary services. Every one that works there is a notary. So where it is open there is a notary. I live in Whittier now. I waited till I came back to Long Beach to come to fourth street postal, My favorite store for this kid of stuff to get something notarized. I cane not say enough, they are so nice. I would never go to the UPS store for this stuff they are so knowledgeable here. It's not just some kids hourly. Parking is not alway easy. But, I have always found one during the day time. For me to get a 5 you must be super great. read more

Shipped two boxes (heavy) via USPS to overseas, and one of them was returned for an unknown reason. We took it back to this store since they helped us with the shipping. The owner was very efficient in searching the label (from two weeks ago), repackaged it so that the box can be re-shipped. We almost gave up because it seems endlessly cumbersome, but the owner relentlessly helped us! It was a successful mission, and now we hope that USPS delivers. read more

4th st postal has really gone downhill unfortunately. They used to be set apart from just going to the usps office with their helpful staff but unfortunately their new employees aren't carrying down the great helpful neighborhood service. read more

I needed a PO Box due to several of my packages being taken by porch pirates. Setting up my mailbox was easy and efficient. Everyone who works here is friendly and as soon as I walk in they greet me and grab all my packages so I can be in and out. I also LOVE being notified by email when I have mail! read more

$9.34 to scan a COUPLE of my documents that I printed myself to my own email. Guess what happens when I get home to check my email? The documents I paid $9.34 to scan, has a black line down EVERY single one of my pages. They didn't even bother to check the clarity of my documents before charging me $9.34 for what took them less than 2 minutes. Bruh. I would send a picture of how bad the scan was, but it's confidential. Im just shocked they would charge me so much for lackluster effort. Go to your local Office Depot lol. read more

Super nice customer service friendly and neighborhood place. Thank for taking care of my postal needs!

I love this shipping shop! 4th Street Postal has always provided quick packing and shipping services, they stay stocked on a variety of box sizes, and they try to help you find the cheapest shipping option whether it's USPS, UPS or FedEx. In the past when I needed just a little filler material, and they had extra packing material that was going to be tossed anyway, they offered it to me at no cost. (Thank you so much!) They also have packing material for purchase, but I really appreciate the eco-friendly, thrifty option when available. They also just set up a really cool collection of locally designed greeting cards that are hard to resist if you love sending snail mail. read more

I came here for passport photos. Those are always awful, right? Wrong!! Good photos require good lighting and a good camera. They have both here. My mugshots are actually pretty! I'm never going back to the large pharmacy chains where you can see neon lights reflected on my forehead and shadows in all the wrong places. Need passport photos? Go here. It was $13 for a set of 2. read more

I have used 4th Street Postal for a variety of services. They served as a notary for a VW class action lawsuit, they took my passport photos, and I've shipped several things with them. They've always been friendly, fast, and do a great job. However, I decided to write this review because of how amazing they were in helping me deal with what would normally be a frustrating experience. I recently sold an iMac on eBay - I took it to 4th Street Postal where they handled it and packed it with care - the packaging was absolutely bullet proof and it was sent off. When the computer arrived, it was as if Fedex had dropped it down a flight of stairs - it was completely damaged. Fortunately the owner, Michele, absolutely crushed it and was so helpful in resolving the issue. Pictures were taken and I sent them over to her - she immediately started to work on the issue and was super responsive, fast, and of course amazingly helpful and friendly. The issue was completely resolved in under two weeks. I was absolutely astonished. As long as I live in the area, I will use 4th Street Postal. Michele showed me what makes someone become a lifetime customer of a business, and I'm so grateful for her help. read more

Rude ! Unhelpful! Dishonest! Overpriced! Don't give these people your business! Employees are unbelievably rude and unprofessional!!

I started going to this place because I needed a UPS place to drop off my Nespresso empties. If you live in the neighborhood this place is very convenient. The people have been very friendly every time I go in there. read more

Love their business! Always takes care of all my postal and shipping needs!! Recommend them highly!

Excellent service, they help me get my passport pictures and papers ready to send off with my tracking number to get renewed... Smiling friendly faces all around. They also have PO Boxes in the store.. You can do all the services i saw (USPS, FedEx, UPS) read more

Wow what a difference a year makes. The door handle, glass and the framing near the lock is filthy where peoples hands have rubbed near opening it. The last two times I've been there the girl has been extremely sick. It's been over a week. Please it's such a tiny space. Pay your employees to stay home. I've also heard it from other people who are older and don't feel comfortable going there now. She was clearly having a hard time keeping her snot in and touched all my packages ewww. Please wipe the door down. Been coming here 5 years but am rethinking about it being a better alternative to the post office. read more

Cory and Stella rock!!! Great sense of humor on both and very cool to work with. Ran into an issue and needed some express help. Cory jumped in and guided while laughing at my dump Harry Potter owl jokes. We got the package squared away only to realize a mistake was made on my end. He helped me fix the issue. The whole time being very sweet, kind and calm. Thank you As The Terminator once said "I'll be back!" read more

This is no surprise to me that 4th street Postal has so many 5 star Reviews. Michelle is awesome, and has a good crew working for her. I really appreciate these guys, and they will continue to have my business. Happy holidays to you guys, and happy new year! -Dave read more

Everytime I come in here to mail anything every employee including the owner are so helpful and help me by answering questions I may not know I have. I would say they are all smiling but because of masks you can't see it, but, everyone is so positive and a pleasure to interact with. Thank you for being customer focused... read more

I am now reading that Michelle sold this place, NOW it all makes sense. I had an account here for many years for a PO BOX, I'm so glad I closed it before she sold. The last time I came before today was to pick up a package that the company had not changed the address, a small one at that. I was reminded on the phone and in person multiple times that there was a $5.00 pickup fee, each time I said "sure no problem", then I got there and asked for my package as I was already taking my wallet out to pay him and he said "yeah well for $5.00!" Wow! What part of "no problem" didn't you get? Do you see I'm taking out my wallet? Today I went to send some packages and there was some difficulty with the gentleman which according to the descriptions in the other reviews is the owner. Likely the mask muffled my ability to talk but even if it didn't the response is not "that's not what you said!" It's "I'm sorry can you repeat that, maybe I didn't hear you correctly?" Then I even showed him my license with my address and he STILL got it wrong so what's the excuse now? "Well now I have to enter it all over again!" The last straw was I brought my own packing materials, shredded paper, and I was struggling with the bags, Michelle's team would have immediately helped me. A small amount of it dropped on the sidewalk, I immediately apologized and he shot me a "look", I offered to sweep it up and he ignored my offer rather than saying "we'll take care of it these things happen" which is what Michelle's crew would have done. I got reprimanded again in the store in front of other customers and staff when I tried to use the packing materials. I don't mind paying for packing materials but I had all this stuff sitting at home so I brought it just to make it easier and recycle honestly. "Don't get it all over the place!" So there I am picking up the few shreds from the floor. I paid for the shipping of my package and the fees I mean I have never not paid them or any small business and I tend to overtip honestly. I mean seriously I want to support small business and I have referred so many people who usually rave about it afterwards but not the last few people I referred now I know why. I supported Michelle for many years but this is nonsense, I get better treatment at the post office and the UPS store in Seal Beach, much better! read more

This review is long overdue. I needed to fax something urgently, so I went to 4th Street Postal. Michelle tried to fax the document multiple times, but the number was busy. I had family visiting from out of town and we were on our way to Hollywood for the day. Because she didn't want our day to be delayed, Michelle offered to keep keep trying throughout the day. She kept me updated on the progress - the fax number was busy, but she kept trying (more than 20 times). Once the fax finally went through, Michelle called to let me know. She went above and beyond! I have truly never had such wonderful customer service. Thank you for your dedication to amazing customer service, Michelle! You are awesome!!! read more

I needed to get a document notarized and mailed out yesterday. I was able to knock both of those things out in one place, and the service was GREAT! I don't think I'll ever go to the post office again. :D Thank you 4th Street Postal!!! read more

Needed to renew my passport and 4th Street Postal had great reviews. They did not disappoint. I was in and out in five minutes and the lady who helped me was super friendly. I will definitely go here again!!! read more

super place! great selection of those mean-funny cards along with other event cards. Michele has an amazing wealth of knowledge and experience for possible shipping options and services. Superb service! Always friendly and goes beyond to meet your needs! read more

I want to recommend this wonderful postal center because I prefer coming here over the USPS office. Why? They have great customer service and helpful staff. Lucky to have them In my neighborhood! read more

I used to look forward to going here when Michelle was the owner but now I dread it. The current owners are not just unfriendly but rude. You can't treat people like this and expect repeat customers, no matter how stressful you are feeling. I speak from experience being a restaurant owner myself. If it wasn't that all my business mail is attached to this location I would never frequent this location again. So for now I try to go as little as possible. read more

This was the closest postal location to my house, was so such a neat little neighborhood spot! Pulled up in front (street parking available on Friday afternoon) . Was helped right away with woman who may have been the owner?? with a passport photo and shipping of paperwork and payment along with my photo- I wasn't expecting that type of service and helpfulness from a post office! So happy I found it! read more

There's a reason to place gets great reviews. The people working here are wonderful! I needed to get my passport photo taken, and expidite my renewal. I got my pic taken here, they say they will keep taking it until you're happy with it. Handed over my paperwork, paid, and they took care of the rest. Even did my printing label for me. I'm not used to that. I will never go to the post office again, this place is the best! read more

Always helpful and kind service, most recently today! I have been here many times over many years and it is always my first choice for shipping packages. Thanks and keep up the great work! read more

Local business, support them with your time and $. Always great to have a local mailing service, even better to have a controlled environment with outside waiting and only two allowed at one time. Great staff. read more

i needed a new passport picture taken and to mail off my application for a passport, so came here since they could do it all. i had read so many positive yelp reviews and everyone was right about this place! there's no parking lot, so we just parked around the corner in the neighborhood and walked over. we were warmly greeted and taken care of quickly. they took my picture and since i didn't like the first one, let me take a second one. i appreciated that since i'm going to be stuck with this picture for 10 years! they then printed out a label to mail off my application, made sure i had everything, and provided me with a tracking number. it was so quick and easy - i was impressed with my experience. everyone was so friendly here. i also noticed that they have po boxes here which i might sign up for. read more

There's a reason they have so many good reviews. They're amazing! Super fast, really nice, extra helpful, and independent. Michelle just saved me 30 dollars by shipping my package FedEx instead is USPS. I would not have known to do that, and I didn't want to spend the time trying to get different shipping quotes from providers. So that's significant savings with minimal effort. AND they finished taping up my package for me after I ran out of tape at home, with no extra charge. And they did all this in under 10 minutes. You wouldn't get this service at the post office. Go here whenever you can. I love so much that this exists. I hate the misery of the post office, and this place feels cheery and local. If we could just get something like this as an option for going to the DMV... read more

Stopped by this store to get my passport photo taken. The staff is extremely friendly and the photos turned out great!! I wanted a digital copy of the picture as well, which they happily provided. And then they even offered their laptop to check the file and said I could call them if I have trouble accessing it at home! Highly recommend this place ! read more

Michele is sooooo helpful! she's super nice and always happy to answer questions and take any packages that you need dropped off. Just signed up for postal box here and she's already been so helpful with accepting my packages for me so that the neighborhood thieves don't get their hands on them. Popular with the locals since there's always a line of people when I come in. read more

Love the staff. Alway quick and great service. Will always go there to mail all my stuff!!

We all have USPS stories, that we can all one up another on...it is so AMAZING to have a local spot that has you covered for all of your shopping needs. Everyone on staff at 4th Street Postal are friendly and ready to answer all shipping questions. Thanks for being here. read more

This area has needed a one-stop shipping spot and 4th Street Postal is just the answer.. Family owned, convenient, friendly service and easy to get into... read more

Excellent customer service. Have been a customer for over a year and couldn't be happier. They send you emails when a big package arrives. I order my pet food through Chewy.com and sometimes the deliveries are heavy. When staff is available,they carry it to my car for me. Plus, unlike some other postal centers, they don't charge extra for package deliveries. Definitely recommend. Plus they also sell products from local vendors. read more

I was in a hurry and I needed to fill out some paper work and then make copies. But to my surprise they had a small desk work space with everything I needed. So I didn't have to buy a pen, white out and pay to use their stuff. It was already set up for free! Plus the dude was very helpful and nice too. I'm glad I didn't go to a big chain store. I wouldn't have gotten the same service. Thanks again guys... Side note: I bought that jerky they sale.... and that shit was so good it made me wanna slap my momma(Friday movie reference) read more

I've been meaning to write this review for some time now. This place is everything that everyone has already mentioned and more. Michelle is very sweet and helpful. I went in a about a month ago to take care of my passport pics, and send the package for a new passport. Michelle took the time to make sure all of the details were complete and that there would be no problems. My passport arrived within a few weeks thanks to Michelle and her awesome shop. I will be taking care of all my postal needs at 4th Street Postal from here on out. Thanks for the amazing service! Marc read more

I am so thankful that I chose to go to 4th Street Postal! Michelle is awesome!!! I had sent a FedEx package that the receiver lost and she went through hell and high water to find the information needed to figure out the tracking number because I had lost the original receipt. This was a MAJOR biggee for me. Thank you again and again Michelle!!! You are the best! Plus when I needed some resumes printed last minute for an interview she gave me rush service that had better quality than a full-on printing shop. 4th Street Postal is the place to go for all your shipping needs, faxing, printing, mailing and buying great hand lotions too!!! I just wanted to add an update because I was told my review was taken down/flagged; this is a true story and if anybody doesn't believe it they are welcome to contact me, but please do not flag/remove it. Thanks! read more
