Dont know why people complaining about the pricing and charges. I mean it's a business, right? Lmao, I actually had a really good experience with the staff here. The two ladies were welcoming and always have a smile on their faces. Delightful to see! (: read more

I'm not sure what is up with all the other negative remarks, but my experience here today was very positive. We needed two signatures notarized on a Sunday, so when I found out this place was open, that sealed the deal. We were in and out, lickety-split. No fuss, no muss! read more

I was new to this area when I dropped off a UPS box with them. I already packed and taped the box myself. All this outlet had to do was give it to the UPS person. UPS would pay this outlet for handling my package. They only had to hold it for their next UPS pick up and drop off. On my third visit, I was rudely told a new policy was that they had to charge me $1.00 for handling my UPS packages. Excuse me? My packages were already labeled, packed and taped. They didn't have to do anything. All they had to do was give it to the UPS driver! After about a month, I became aquainted with my UPS driver who told me that any shipping company that receives packages already labeled with a UPS shipping label would be paid a handling fee from UPS! This particular outlet is owned by a former US Marine who owns another shipping outlet within 10 miles of his location. I was told the owner is making a good living running this operation so I guess he has a lot of customers supporting his business. The reason for my 1-star rating is due to their employees rudeness and unfriendliness. Charging $1.00 handling fee is gouging your customers when UPS pays you to receive packages on their behalf. My advice is to drop off your packages at any UPS Store if you have a UPS account. Better yet, use the US Postal Service for your domestic shipping needs. read more

Website & sign say that they close at 4PM on Sundays and I needed to get a package in today so I went, and they were closed by 3:30PM. You can see the workers hands closing the door way before the time it says they close. So unprofessional & ridiculous. read more

I was charged $3.00 for 4 stamps. That's pretty high. I go there to mail letters and get things motorized. I recommend buying a book of stamps from the post office since they mark up the price for stamps. read more

I dropped off a package last week and it was prepaid. I wasn't charged anything. I felt that was fine since I give these people a lot of business in spite of the fact that I'm never treated well by the owner. She never smiles but still gets the job done. Today I was charged a dollar. She stood there looking, no smile, while the clerk told me if it didn't fit in the slot, they charge a dollar. For what? Putting it in a box? lost my business. Back to U-Post. They are friendly and don't charge me a dollar. read more

Wow. Don't get the bad reviews. I've been going to this place since I moved into the area about 13-14 years ago. I've never had bad experiences at all and the owners as a matter of fact are always super friendly and know my name because I've been a customer for so long. Years ago, when trying to get passport pictures for my daughter, they even helped me to try to get her to smile. I've used most services over the years from buying stamps to getting docs notarized to shipping and have never had problems. read more

I went in to see Evelyn both today and yesterday to have something notarized. She is very nice and helpful! I was in and out real quick.

Krishan and Valerie were very nice and helpful and patient. This was my first time having to fax and copy but with their assistance it was in and out. Thank you young ladies. read more

The staff was very energetic and welcoming. It made me feel comfortable with my copy and printing needs. I am running a small business and I will always come back to them whenever I need anything :) read more

So I was calling around for pricing on postal boxes at various locations. I called here and asked if I they take the coupon from the postal annex website. A Filipino lady who answered said I could come in and they will see if they take the coupon. All due respect, I'm calling because these are not normal times and I don't wanna waste my time or my health going in if they don't take the coupon. The lady was all nice at first but she started getting indignant and belligerent, almost implying the coupon was a fake and started grilling where I got the coupon from. Btw, the coupon is from the official website; you should know your damn products. I was looking for the best prices for a box with a physical address, and this wasn't it UPS is, but even if it were the cheapest I will NEVER give this place my business because of her nasty attitude. She was only nice when she thought she would get my business. After that, she was like "Ok. Call somewhere else." Bish, don't work in customer service if you've got an attitude. read more

We had a letter notarized here and their service was great. It was a pretty busy Saturday and there was only one staff member so a lot of customers were waiting but no one seemed to mind since they sell all kids of items so everyone was just looking around as they waited. They charge $10 per person signing, notary's signature is included. read more

No positive experiences here. They always have multiple people behind the counter, but only 1 person doing actual work, and very slow. One time, I was mailing USPS flat rate boxes and they argued with me about the size (printed on the box) and asked if I was sure I wanted to send USPS (the only way possible) I have 2 prepaid packages to drop off and they are still making me wait in line. For what? To hand it to someone else? I just watched a man owe a customer 80 cents in change and he gave her a quarter and they went back and forth on how to count to 80 cents. They are very slow, and for no reason. This place is absolutely terrible. I don't like writing negative reviews, but no one has a clue what they are doing, they are not helpful, and you better know how you want to send something before you get there, then pray it reaches the recipient. Keep driving and go to the actual post office. read more

Went in for passport photos and to mail an application. The young woman was very helpful and made the process quick and easy!

I took my packing in today to ship and worked with an older lady with my shipping needs. Not friendly at all and actually pretty nasty. The younger girls seemed to be friendly but this women that helped me checked the cost to ship USPS and quoted me $297 for priority mail. I decided to go to the actual Post Office and shipped the same package for $55. Either she doesn't know what she is doing or they rip off people. 2.5 star rating sums up this place. Shape up or ship out. Bad news! read more

Walked in today to rent a truck we went threw the whole process just for thr employee to tell me she locked the keys in the only truck they had . Sending me 15 minutes away to another location . Very inconvenient when your on a tight schedule and they charge you by the mile so its gumma cost me 15 more in miles . Thanks alot for the waist of time read more

Super friendly and helpful employees each time I come in. They have anything you need and at great prices. This is my mailing store of choice! read more

The incompetence level of the employees here is ridiculous. I had to repeat myself several times, the girl in the front counter seemed confused and was completely useless. I mean it's straight forward I needed 60 double sided color invitations. You would of thought that this girl never heard of such a thing. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!!! But then again what do I expect from a 2 star place right ? read more

This place is great! I drop my UPS and FEDEX packages off all the time super friendly staff! Parking isn't the best but it's not there fault. read more

I wanted to drop off a prepaid UPS package and I asked for a receipt. The clerk told me that their store policy is to not give receipts on prepaid packages. She said I can track it by the tracking number on the package. I have NEVER heard of conducting business without a receipt. Every other similar mailbox business has given me a receipt, so I believe refusing to give a receipt is unique to this location. They don't have to worry about my going back there. I'm out...over...done. read more

@Fred G. your review was exactly what I experienced today. Your phrasing of "The incompetence level of the employees here is ridiculous. I had to repeat myself several times, the girl in the front counter seemed confused and was completely useless." explains my feelings too. read more

This is a terrible place. I've left packages here before and they were processed until a week later. Then the other day, they closed the door right in my face. It wasn't even time to close. The girls were just in there laughing. I don't know how this business is run but it's a joke. read more

I went into this business to buy some shipping tape and send about 10 boxes. I went in to buy the tape and then go to my car to tape the boxes. The tape was $4.99 and the male employee working(seemed like the owner or manager)asked if I had cash. I told him no I'm sorry I'll use my Visa. He stated I will have to charge you $.50 extra since it is under $10. I asked him I thought that charging extra fees were against Visa's policy. At that point he flipped out and said I'll charge you the $4.99 and you can be on your way if your going to nitpick $.50. As a consumer I have the right to question any charges! He then proceeded to tell me how expensive it is to run charge cards.(Not my problem that's a part of doing business). He then stated you might find somewhere else to ship your packages. Confused I said are you now refusing my business? He stated I did not say that but since no one else is in here I can said it in a nice way. I told him I have never been treated this way in my life. For a business owner to so quickly vilify a customer and risk alienating them from your store for future business is mind boggling. If he had explained their policy for charging extra in a calm professional way maybe I would of paid it. He went from zero to crazy in 1 second. This business obviously does not understand how to deal with customers. Stay away!!!!

Code § 1748.1(a) (West) Discounts for Cash Payments are allowed in California "A retailer may, however, offer discounts for the purpose of inducing payment by cash, check or other means not involving the use of a credit card, provided that the discount is offered to all prospective buyers."

If I could give negative stars I would! Needed a drop off place for my Fed Shipments. My company requires that the drop off point scans the package and provides me with a receipt. The B**** wanted to charge me a dollar for a fricking receipt! How greedy is that? The place is full of cheap crap for sale, looks like a outdoor flea market inside. I will drive across town to Fed Ex before I would ever set foot in this dump again. Anyone greedy enough to charge $1.00 for a receipt is going to rip you off anyway they can! read more

We've been with this Postal Annex location for almost ten years. Generally, they're fine for our mail delivery. However, twice in 2017 a package that was shipped to us was misplaced. The most recent incident involved having the item shown as delivered to the store. They checked it into their system, yet could locate it. I was told that someone had picked it up for us, yet they could not produce a signed pickup card. They said it possibly was returned to the shipper as the addressee was not familiar, yet could not verify the send back in their system. I realize this Postal Annex location has grown since their opening, but I am really disappointed that their tracking system is flawed. If this has happened to me, then how many other patrons have experienced the same thing? read more

I am super happy with my experience here. I had to return a defective product to a company that was trying to make me pay for shipping. The staff here sympathized with me and gave me a 10% discount on the shipping price. Then, I called the company to complain and got a cheaper return label and, even though I had already paid, the manager, Evelyn, let me use the cheaper label even though all sales are technically final. Nice to be treated like a human being! I will definitely keep coming back after this :) read more

I have had a P.O. Box here for over 5 years now and this place is AWESOME. Evelyn and all of the other employees are helpful and courteous here. They have long hours and are also very reasonable with shipping services and fees too. I would highly recommend them to anyone that can use a reliable company for a P.O. Box or any shipping needs they may have. read more

I cannot recommend this place. I needed medication delivered that required a signature when I could not be home. It had to be shipped FedEx. They are listed as a FedEx Authorized ShipCenter which I assumed meant they served as a place where shipments could be received. I was informed when I went to pick up my package that I could not receive packages there unless I had a mailbox but they would release my package for $20. When I explained that I only used them because they were listed online as a FedEx ShipCenter and that it was medication that needed a signature but I could not be home, he reduced the fee to $5.00. This is medication that I will need to receive from my mail in pharmacy monthly and not sure what my alternatives are for pick up at this point but obviously this establishment is not going to be helpful. read more

Had to Plesure of using this location today Customer Service was Outstanding. Thank You and Keep up the hardwork. read more

Great family friendly environment. The owner is knowledgable and helpful. My kids love coming into this store because the owners usually have their own grandchildren there to play with my kids. read more

I recently needed a large order of 150 color copies printed and arranged to make a multi-page program for a school fundraising event. The team at this store did an amazing job and my print order looked perfect and was done very quickly. The store is neat and well-organized and the staff were all smiles to myself and the other customers even though the store was quite busy on a Friday afternoon. I will definitely be returning to this location in the future! read more

Very discourteous employees. If you would like poor service and to be treated in a rude manner, you've found your parcel and packaging place. Not only are these folks rude, but unknowledgeable on basics of shipping. read more

The employees are straight rude if they don't know you. They acted like I was an inconvenience when I had questions and were so snippy. I'd rather drive to the one in Carlsbad than have to deal with those nasty ladies again. read more

Dear Business Customer Service Rep., The level of service I received here last week was quite poor. One would think that in a service business that providing good service is a top priority. Unfortunately, this is not the case at this Postal Annex, 825 College Blvd Ste 102. My husband suggested that we use a UPS or Fedex store from now on. Customers deserve better; You should patronize a business that cares about its customers. read more

They stayed open longer so we could get our notarized signatures. Service was over the top amazing and notary was detail oriented. So grateful to have met the owners. Definitely recommend to everyone I know!! read more

Terrible.. the owners or employees or whoever they are have their kids all running around all over the place. The place is total chaos, and they can't even help their customers because the place is a dang daycare.. go somewhere else read more

I came in with a simple request; to print out 3 copies of the two-page Word document on my SD card. The two people behind the registers looked at each other then said that they won't take it because the SD card might have viruses. They said to instead email the document to them. If I was plotting to give their machines a virus with my SD card, then what would stop me from emailing them a virus? I am never coming to this stupid place again. read more

This place overcharges for shipping, yet I didn't realize how much until I went through a different store. Insanely overpriced services.

I've been here twice to mail a couple packages and both time, the ladies working didn't even look up to acknowledge that I was there. They were extremely unhelpful and very rude. Will never go back again! read more

Can I give 0 stars? Evelyn is a huge B! And um they charge you for tape? Are you kidding me? So much for customer service. Will drive the extra mile yo go somewhere else read more
