I stopped by the UPS Store in Martinez to ship a small package (about the size of a shoebox) and…read moreexpected to pay for a box, totally fair. What wasn't fair was how everything else was handled. I was quoted $23 for a box, which I later found out included Styrofoam packing and "labor." When I said I'd just pack it myself, the employee asked if I brought tape. When I said no, he told me they charge $2.99 just to use their tape. Meanwhile, the employee next to him was taping up boxes for other customers for free, which made the whole situation even more confusing and frustrating. I asked for the cheapest shipping option to New Jersey and was told it would be $40. I double-checked multiple times to see if there was anything cheaper and was told no. At that point, I was looking at nearly $70 total just to ship a small package, which didn't sit right with me. I decided to walk out and come back another time with my own box. The next day, I went to a different UPS Store and got a box and shipped the same package for just under $30. less than half of what I was quoted here. This place felt like it was full of upsells and unnecessary add-ons, especially from the older gentleman who was helping me. I'd strongly recommend double-checking every charge if you end up here. I'll be honest, I already knew this location had a reputation for long lines and poor customer service, but I was in a pinch. Lesson learned. There are much better UPS Stores out there. I will NEVER come back to this location.

And try requesting for a Ups sleeve to put in a printed mailing label, she'd say Ups does not give those out. Something went wrong at Ups employee training school when they skipped customer service and reasonableness. I can go to other delivery stores and skip this Ups store.

I do not recommend renewing or enrolling in TSA PreCheck here. The employee who helped me was…read moreextremely rude and seemed unfamiliar with the renewal process. According to the TSA website, you can renew your TSA PreCheck up to 6 months before expiration. Even though I was within that timeframe, she repeatedly told me I was "too early" and should come back closer to my expiration date. I explained that I'm traveling next month and wanted to avoid any issues, but instead of helping, she suggested I just travel with my marriage certificate. Nobody wants to carry unnecessary documents while traveling when this could simply be handled correctly the first time. On top of that, she claimed my Known Traveler Number account didn't exist. I had to repeatedly ask her to enter the full account number correctly before my information finally appeared. After that, she continued the interaction with an obvious bad attitude, huffing and puffing the entire time because she clearly did not want to help. The owner was not helpful either. If I hadn't been persistent and informed about the TSA renewal policy myself, I honestly don't think this would have been completed properly. Very disappointing customer service experience. Save your time and money and go elsewhere!

This is hands down THEE best UPS store I've ever done business with!!…read more The owners are genuinely wonderful people. Kind, welcoming, and always incredibly helpful. Every time I walk in, I feel like they truly care and want to make things easy. They consistently go above and beyond, whether it's shipping, printing, or helping sort out all the little details. They're patient, thoughtful, and always make sure everything is handled right. And I especially have to thank them for their patience with my endless Amazon returns, lol!! I've brought in more than a few, and they've always been friendly, efficient, and gracious about it. Great service is one thing, but genuine kindness is something else entirely. This place has both, and it's rare. I am so very lucky to have them in my area :D

I've honestly waited until I had a few visits here before leaving my honest feedback. There is no…read moreother way to put this, this is truly a miserable location with miserable employees. When you walk in, you can never expect to get a smile, usually not even a greeting, even when you're standing in line for a while. Always only one employee. Nothing moving quickly or efficiently. This morning I was in line behind someone who looks like they were getting a passport. I waited for what seems like forever before the employee even turned around to say he would be right with me, as his back was to me (and all the customers) the entire time. He had the customer behind the counter, trying to take fingerprints....and apparently she couldn't understand the simple concept of laying her finger flat on the scanner. No surprise here, this idiot customer parked her car right in front of the store taking up one and a half parking spots. Behind the employee was a poor UPS driver with a dolly full of packages just simply waiting to get past him to his truck. Trapped behind the counter with the employee blocking the walk way. He stood there for what seems like forever because this employee couldn't even be courteous enough to take five steps to the right let him pass by. Before this, the employee is having a conversation with this passport customer about how this is his girlfriend's neighbor and what cars are in the driveways and what color houses they are for identifying markers. All while I sat there waiting patiently, a line collecting a line behind me. The woman behind me left her letter and left. I finally took my packages and walked out, super pissed as I write this. Probably should wait until I cool off, but an angry toy he speaks a truthful heart. I waited foreverrrrrrrrrrrr for nothing. This morning was a complete display of lack of consideration, respect and urgency for other people's time. I can't stand this location. But at the end of the day, I know better than to come here.

During their visit, a matter came up requiring an apostille, or they would simply have to cut their trip short and return home to handle. I reached out to Lynda through Yelp and got an immediate response. We coordinated an appointment and she met us at my home and took care of business. So why does she deserve 5 stars for essentially doing the same thing any other notary public willing to go to Sacramento would do? The exceptional customer service! We ran out of legal paper and she was willing to bring some she had at her office for no charge. Saved me a trip to the store, and she didn't nickel and dime and insist that we pay her for printing, etc. Additionally, after our initial appointment, we realized something had to be corrected and we needed an additional copy. She came back to the house late that evening, AFTER her other job, to get it squared away so she could go to Sacramento for the apostille the next morning. No additional charge! Lynda provided thorough communication throughout, including the next day as she went to Sacramento. She asked if she could deliver the documents to our house the following day as she also had work that night, and unfortunately that didn't work for my in-laws schedule, so she made time to swing by that afternoon before starting her other job that evening. It's not cheap to get an apostille done, but the cost was more than reasonable and Lynda's service was worth every penny! Thanks again Lynda!
