They are vague and not direct on pricing to see what they can get away with charging you.

Postal Masters is the best mail center AND notary service in Los Angeles County by far! I have had a mail box here for over 21 years and ALWAYS get exceptional service with ZERO problems. Grace and Jay are always friendly, know your name, and display exceptional customer service! MUCH better than the service at the USPS or UPS where you wait in long lines and are treated like a stranger. Whether you want to rent a mail box at a prestigious Marina del Rey address, send packages, use their NOTARY service, buy shipping supplies, or use their other convenient services, I highly recommend Postal Masters with TEN stars! read more

July 2023: Postal Masters is a short walk away from the beach & past the Venice Canals on Washington Blvd! Always friendly, helpful & easy conversation! When I want to buy stamps, as well as mail something sooner than later than the mail lady delivers/picks up, I walk on over! Grateful that it's nearby, as I've been coming here for years! I tend to send out handwritten thank you cards quite a bit! read more

Postal Masters - Outside - Shipping Centers Near Me - Marina Del Rey, California

Absolute rip off! Your package will arrive, but the owner will always offer the $16 service even if it could arrive at the same time for $2. Go to the Venice post office 3 blocks down! They get paid hourly, not based on charging $8 for an envelope. There is also a UPS Store a couple blocks away. Know your options and don't waste your money. To the owner: If you want loyalty don't rip off your customers. That hopefully only works once. read more

If I can leave 0 review that's whay she deserve, not only they over charge you for the USPS Priority Mail from $10 at the post office but they mark up 60% they charge you $16, but the tone how she talk to you it's just simple RUDE, I have never see such person who's always so unhappy and rude, lack of professionism, I understand there's an extra charge but not 60% she can just said we do charge a service fee but no, she's just rude and unfriendly. DO NOT GO THERE, it's a rip off. read more

Has a sign for USPS drop off in the store, but refused to take my pre-labeled USPS package.

I have been coming here for over 30 years . I had a stalker and needed to change my address . I believe this is the 3rd owner could be 4th. The owner here is very nice and has gone above and beyond to accommodate my special request . She notifies me when I receive packages. She will accept payment over the phone, which is great . I highly recommend this business and please be kind. This is a small business that has survived Covid! read more

Wonderful service! Grace is super nice, attentive and the place is very clean! We do receive an email for Amazon packages! Best postal service! read more

Grace and Jay do a wonderful job of managing tons of incoming mail and packages. Happy customer for the past four years!

I love how location feels Like old film in movies. It's very cozy and warm greetings with bright smile. Grace and Jason are very friendly and kind service. I will always go back. read more

I saw mixed reviews on this place but I live nearby so decided to go anyway. I just needed an envelope and when I went to pay for it (10 cents) she gave it to me for free. Had to leave a review! read more

The most stellar and friendly couple who makes sure we get the best ever postal private service

I have been with Postal Masters for 10 years or more. They are reliable and helpful people with reasonable rates and great patience with their customers. I highly recommend them read more

$1 per page for printing services. Rudely questioned an old lady about whether she could pay for the overpriced printed copies. One star for asking for consent before screwing their costumers. PS: UPS down the street is a quarter of the price. read more

I don't know how this place gets any good reviews. They are not helpful at all. And they are super pricey.

Michael, the owner is very friendly and well organized. He hired a new lady, Monda, who is just as friendly and seems to be getting the hand of the place pretty quickly. I know people complained about someone that worked there once a week, but he's no longer there. read more

There is no language barrier here, just a business owner interested in charging the highest possible price for anything they can. The favorite word of the lady behind the counter is "no." The lack of desire to work to a solution was not there. This place will not be getting any of my business. I will go all the way back to West Hollywood for E&G mailboxes this place was a joke. read more

Very very poor service. Very mean lady at the counter. Rude service, dirty, and dark. Waited a long time and was treated very poorly. Another time I dropped off a package and it did not ship. read more

Helpful and friendly staff and very easy to get a box here. Cheap too! The place is under new management and that's a good thing for sure. I've had zero problems collecting or sending packages here. The staff was very helpful and made sure all my shipping needs were expertly handled. They offer a few other worthwhile services as well so go check them out! read more

I am thrilled to see that Postal Masters has a new owner. He greets you with a pleasant demeanor. The shop finally has a warm and friendly feeling about it. I had all the right mail in my mailbox, something the old owners made mistakes with. I really dreaded seeing the old owners who always had a sourpuss attitude.... read more

If you want lost packages and bad customer service go to Postal Masters.

I've given this place a chance, I really have. And I don't usually leave 1-star reviews but this place deserves it. Every single time I've been here I've regretted not going to the tea UPS store down the street where customer service is excellent. I can't speak for any other staff as I've always had to deal with the same lady - the one that's mentioned in other reviews as well. I've really wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and that it's maybe a language barrier problem but honestly, no. When you get barked at "What do you want" the minute you set foot in the store before you can even say anything, well that's not how I like to be greeted. And it's downhill from there. She's also tried to charge me more or sell me stuff that's not required to send my package, or, like yesterday, when I had a fully prepaid label for the shipment couldn't find the customer copy and accused me of having removed it already etc etc. I'm out of chances to give them ans will not be coming back but rather walk the few extra steps to the UPS Store and hey, there's a Noah's Bagels right next door - I won't need more incentive ;) read more

I have had many positive experiences with Postal Masters and have been shipping items from this location many times throughout the pandemic. I've been mailing things much more frequently due to shelter-in-place and I've always experienced prompt, friendly and quality service. Grace is efficient and cares about her customers! read more

Shipped a very fragile forty pound hand-carved wooden octopus to Maryland. Arrived 4 days ahead of schedule in perfect condition.

My experience buying stamps was so horrible I could not imagine trusting them with a package. I purchased what I thought was a book or twenty stamps and when I got home I realized there was only 10. When I called they said no problem and when I can back they refused to give me what I paid for. So I got 10 stamps for 12 dollars. I will never go back. They are crooks and do not care about repeat business. read more

Great service. Michael has a great attitude and very helpful. Was even open on a holiday.

I am using Postal Masters in Marina del Rey for long time more than 6 years. Because they are lower than any other shipping places, excellent and never make mistakes and friendly services to any customers. I have online retail business so even I have accounts with UPS, FedEx, Uses, Postal masters in Marina Del Rey has much lower shipping rates. So I used them to ship our orders everyday. read more

I would rate them lower but you don't offer that option. They are incompetent, uncaring and ridiculous.

I sent 3 packages out almost 3 weeks ago & they have yet to get to their destination. they were returns. one UPS, a Fed ex package & regular mail package. I think one of the reviews is right abbout these peole stealling the packages which BTW, they dont give you receipt for at all. I will never go back there again & they are right around the corner where I live. they shoudl be shut down. not sure why this place is still operating. Half the time no one is at the front desk & all these packages going out are out in the open unattended. read more

Filthy, disorganized place. No wonder so much stuff goes missing. Also, they will try to charge you extra fees to drop off a package that already has a pre-paid, pre-printed label with the right amount of postage. The person that runs it is rude and tries to charge phony amounts for things like using a piece of tape or the free shipping labels used by fedex. The whole place is a dirty sham. read more

Five-Star service! I have to say this is the best postal shipping store in all of West LA. I went to a competing shipping store to send a rather heavy box and I was quoted $76 then I came to Postal Master and got the same delivery service for $52! Owner Mr. Chan is very helpful and gives off lots of positive energy! read more

Good service and convenient. I receive many packages sometimes on a same day and he is always very cool about it.

Postal Masters in Venice Beach told me that some one in the front desk of a p.o. box could sign at the location and receive it, even though i asked 2 times if he was sure. They told me this to upsell me and double the cost of shipping to send certified. Now that didn't happen and my valuable package is in limbo, waiting for, within 2 weeks, either them to pick up, or I pick it up. Otherwise it returns to sender. Smh. read more

Absolute worst customer service. Avoid this place. The customer service at the UPS store down the street is so much better.

If it was possible to leave No stars, I would! These people are thieves! I brought two packages to be delivered to two separate destinations on Monday Sept 29. One was going to Westchester, CA (which is about 4 miles from my house) and the other package was going to New York. Neither of these packages reached their destination. In hindsight, I should have paid for tracking and/or insurance as they contained hand-made jewelry orders but I didn't insure them. *This not only costs me the hand-made jewelry that was in those packages, it also costs my reputation by orders not getting received. When I spoke to the post office about the packages, the post office said the problem was most likely due to Post Masters because the routes for their delivery would have been completely different and to loose two packages would have been highly unlikely. I entered Post Masters today on Oct 8, I told them that there was a problem with the last two things I sent from their establishment. I live across the street and have used them before. When the girl who was taking my packages (Tabi Lee) was entering them in the computer, I saw the previous transactions under my name so I knew that they had record of these packages. In fact, another time I was there, I asked them to send me the receipt for one of the transactions that they said they would send but didn't, and I saw all the transactions listed. Today, "Moon Soo Now" (his writing is very messy and hard to read so don't know if that is correct spelling) said they couldn't help me and it is "MY Problem" in his words. He was very rude / yelling and would not take any responsibility at all and even said he would sue me..... Really? Him sue me. When I told him that he can see the transactions he said I was crazy. I really don't appreciate having my packages stolen and then be accused of being crazy for asking them to check if the packages were still in their possession. These people should not be in business. DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND DON'T GO THERE! read more

I use these guys frequently and think they do a great job. I have never had an issue with packages or customer service. In fact, they went above and beyond when I had to ship over 11 boxes to New York. I truly think that the reason this business gets bad reviews is because it is not "upscale" in a very upscale (and sometimes snooty) neighborhood. It is small family-run business; they don't wear uniforms, they don't have an employee handbook to follow. All I care about is the service they provide and they do a pretty darn good job in my opinion. read more

I am happy with their excellent services and shipping rates as well as the mail box rent. Giving them 5 Big Stars!!!

I have had a PO Box here for more than 10 years and in that time, one Amazon package was placed in another box and they immediately reimbursed me for it without me even asking. Mike has gone and Seila Michael Chan is the new owner and nice as can be. I like knowing I have a safe place to have my packages sent and the employees are always helpful! read more

You know when you see 3 out of 5 stars and you read the reviews some good and some bad. It is a bit unclear is it a bad business, bad employes, bad management, bad owner or is it in fact rotten customers that are to spoiled for their own good? Personally I felt that I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately after 4 months of being a client, and even throughout my tenure as a client I felt that the customer service Is OK, but as somewhat evolved human beings, we can feel negativity without having words to be spoken, Because some people are just ill spirited. One does not necessarily have to say something bad in order to feel that there are negative vibes coming off the person. We can feel through body language, a tone of voice, and small face & eye movements that show you the whole picture of what's underneath the thin wearing mask of that individual. I digress I'm being way too philosophical here. The bottom line is that for me, It is unpleasant to do business and give my money to this store. Frankly I don't want to support such a business. So for you dear reader you have to make a choice what's important for you. There are plenty of businesses that would love to earn you as their client, where for your hard earn money you will receive 5 star service, with a smile, good vibes and positive attitude. Even though this will create a bit of a headache in changing the address with Banks and all other different institutions but I feel strong enough about the mistreatment that I received as a paying client, that i will make this change and urge you to think twice. Perhaps if enough people stop giving them business it will force to either change their ways or shut down permanently and give someone else an opportunity to make a living and make people happy. read more

This place is reasonable for mailing all types of packages. It is next door to the Inn at Venice Beach. I would have given this place a 5 stars, but the attitude of the younger man running it scared me. I had a couple phone calls to make before I mailed my package. I had decided on how I was going to mail it, but got worried about a DMV document I was mailing. I called my mom to let her know about it. We did not have much flexibility because I was in town with my daughter, and we had other issues that needed to be done. I had wanted a convenient place to mail an important package. I would have left the store to make the calls, but I did not know it bothered him. I did not see a sign stating that there was no cell phone use allowed in the store. I was trying to make a couple quick calls to mail my mom about some important documents. So I paid for the package and mailed it sooner than I wanted because I Just wanted to get out of there. It left me with a funny feeling, and I became afraid that I left the package there. His actions made me wonder if he would even follow through and mail the package. He knew there were DMV documents inside and I was worried he might open the package and take them out. His attitude made me feel afraid. If I had done it again, I would have just left and NOT mailed the package there. It was not worth the worry. The people at the hotel reassured me it was OK and told me it was the son of the owner, but this guy had a quick temper and I felt afraid. I am hoping it will arrive safely. I would go somewhere else because I think he was not only rude, but also mean to me. I do think this was a temper blowup that does not happen regularly, but it happened to me and gave me an uncomfortable feeling because this was my first time in the store. Maybe that was why he felt comfortable letting out his anger on me, knowing I would not often be back. read more
