To the business owner. The young lady was very polite and cordial just a little scared. All it was a general review of service. But judging on you lack of respect for a paying customer I see where she gets her trading from. Maybe you can add the service of being a witness to your tool box and your business. Ideas are created and amplified through knowledgeable translations. Tyler, with all due respect: learn some manners. I wasn't aware of her name because she didn't say it. Your postal annex looks dirty and unkept, Smells like old moth balls and old mop. I swear it looks like a dusty abandoned chicken coup. read more

From Notary services to greeting cards to package or registered mailing services this place "shines". Each employee has been well trained, courteous and cost conscious. Keep up the good work and thanks. read more

Sandra has been great so far in helping me with a serious issue. I dropped off a package there for DHL a few days ago, but the tracking hasn't updated and DHL says they haven't received it. Sandra was great in looking around the store in case it was missed by the DHL person, but we couldn't find it. So the owner Tyler is looking at their security footage, so they can see if DHL picked it up or if something else happened to it. I really appreciate them helping track down this package, and I'll update once we find out what happened! :-) read more

Took my Amazon returns. Fast and easy. As a plus the people working there were super nice and asked if they could help me with anything else. I will go there in the future for other shipping needs. read more

Great business that supports a multitude of services! The personnel at this establishment are top notch and always provide the best customer service. I can tell the owner takes pride in his establishment. Looking forward to being a continued customer read more

This place charged me $2.28 for simply printing off a prepaid return label! Be aware! I have NEVER paid for a business to print off a return label. Bring your return labels printed off already y'all! read more

Always tremendously helpful, thorough, and professional service at this location. My family has trusted this location for years with things like passports, one-time delivery, and all manner of greeting cards and last minute office supplies. The great convenience of being able to return packages here has made my life easier a number of times. This location is an important part of our little Shelter Island community, and you will be greeted with a smile and given the best customer service here. There is a very fast and convenient computer you can use to quickly access your print jobs, and the staff here have assisted me with some high quality copies of archival materials. I spent a good part of my grad school afternoons here printing documents in a rush, and I always appreciate the sense of calm the staff here contribute when I am under work or school deadlines. Thank you for being part of our community! read more

I needed something notarized on very short notice. Searched on Yelp and saw that Postal Annex offers that service. My bank will do it too but you need an appointment and there was quite a delay last time I went that route. I walked right into Postal Annex and was out with my completed documents in under 10 min. The woman working was very nice. read more

Sandra was amazing this morning. She was extremely helpful and efficient. She completed my scan in 10 minutes. Thank you thank you Sandra!

If you need to make copies, do NOT come here. I needed one color copy. Instead of charging just 49 cents for a color print, they add on a $2 "office servicing fee". Strangely I didn't get charged this "fee" last time. UPDATE to respond: I brought in a USB file, they just needed to connect to it and hit print - it look a few seconds. Not worth a $2 fee. I live in the neighborhood and usually come here; you lost my business. read more

I walked in today with an elder lady to conduct basic mail drop off and pick up. A man at the counter was not wearing a mask and was coughed twice in the 1 minute I was there. I just left. I have 2 accounts with them and am now considering/planning to move over to UPS who has their act together with better space and precautions in place. Unhappy. read more

This place is super convenient which is why I keep coming back. It is hardly ever busy yet it always seems to take much longer than I anticipate (well, it depends on who is helping me...). I like that when I bring in an item they box it up for me and fill any open spaces in the box with packing peanuts. I don't like that they ask for a phone number for the recipient of the item, though. Nine times out of ten I am mailing a package for my boss so I have no idea who the recipients are; why would I have a phone number for them? And why would they need one? So weird. Another weird thing I noticed was when I sent my packages off for Xmas, they put their business address as the return address instead of mine on the label. I inquired about it (because that seemed odd to me) and they said that they did it so that they could help take care of any issues that come up if the package is returned. I say this is strange because they only did it for certain ones- not all of them. Why? Either way, the customer service here is typically good, unless, as I said earlier, you get a certain someone who is slower than a herd of turtles. I still prefer it to the post office and I keep coming back! read more

PostalAnnex - Front entrance - Notaries Near Me - San Diego, California

A wonderful Postal Annex offering a vast array of services including fingerprinting, packing and shipping, and more, with excellent prompt and friendly customer service! Gary and Brian will take care of you! I've only come across Gary once to help me ship my gift to my mom and he was super helpful with that! I was having a hard time packing it myself at home so he helped me out with that and promised me no matter what it would get there in one piece with his packing! I told Gary I was just a bit concerned because I had previously shipped the same item (a coffee mug from my school, but shipped it through a different company) to my dad and it was broken when it arrived to him unfortunately. And sure thing it was all in once piece when she got it! Brian is usually there on other occasions and I came here to get my fingerprints done and it was quick and painless! Brian is super helpful and quick to help and get things done. I would give 5 stars but many many things are overpriced here. For example, packing (which is very easy to do, is EXTREMELY overpriced, sadly) and although Gary helped me out that one time, i'm sure he can't do it for me everytime, and it seems as if packing and shipping things might be cheaper elsewhere. I know that they are in a location where there is very wealthy people around, but I don't happen to be. I am a student- struggling to make ends meet, and going in debt to get an education. I wish they would lower their prices so locals like myself, who aren't loaded (financially) could afford to come here, because overall it is a great store! Student discount maybe? Since there is a university one mile from here, just an idea! read more

Postal Annex on Shelter Island is run the way businesses ought to be run. Bravo! Because I travel, their PostScan service is invaluable. More important, when I have an unusual request, Tyler and the crew are more than happy to help. I recently needed a document received at Postal Annex returned to another address then returned to me at Postal Annex (If that sounds confusing, don't worry - Postal Annex took care of it perfectly). This is the place to go for shipping and mail services. Plus, you get a friendly smile when you go in to the store. read more

I needed printing services Asap and they were efficiently fast and really friendly service! Thank you :)

This has to be the best shipping store in town! I just went in there yesterday to send a package because the UPS store was too busy, and after the experience I had, I certainly will not be turning anywhere else in the future. Not only was I able to send an overnight package on a whim, but I was somehow able to get a livescan and notary done that I had been putting off with no appointment necessary. The staff here were all incredible and so accommodating as they all assisted me in different ways. This little shop truly does EVERYTHING and does it so well that I can see myself returning on a weekly basis for my everyday needs. GO HERE! read more

I use this postal annex for everything logistics that I can. I have my mailbox service here as well and they are fantastic! I even get notifications when important items are delivered. The operating hours make it so convenient for personal and business matters. I shopped around multiple other comparable businesses and couldn't find a better price. With all of the theft on my mail at home I decided this was the move and I am so glad I did. I never have to worry about my mail or deliveries being stolen! This is a great place, go give them a shot! read more

This is the only place I trust to handle my postal needs! They handle EVERYTHING including standard mail, amazon returns, passport docs, as well as notary needs. They even have a mini business center to print or make copies! With multiple locations around San Diego, Tyler and Julia Willson make it very convenient to handle any and all things postal!! Thank you guys for always taking care of my family and I. We really appreciate it! read more

Visited the area this past week. Walked in here on a whim to inquire on bottle shippers, to send some Cali goodness back to PA for me and my fellow craft beer loving friends. They had a perfect 6-bottle shipper on hand for a reasonable price ($10) and their hours on Sat. morning had me back there all packed up. They were super kind to tape things up nicely and get my info in a jiffy to allow me to be back on my way for our final day in the area. Friendly service all around. Now, I just need to wait for things to arrive, but the experience was a great one. Not inexpensive to ship 20lbs of beer back home ($56, which included $8 for 21+ signature requirement), but not a huge mark up by PostalAnnex. Highly recommend. read more

So I walk to the PostalAnnex+ and tried to stuff my "package" in the "slot". The friendly cashier said, oh no! that's way to big! Why don't you try the "backdoor". ... Okay, enough fictional innuendos. My conversations with the workers here is nothing like that. But they are very friendly and fun to talk to. I've been dropping off my mail, Netflix, and packages here for the past 2 years and never had any problems. A little about my credentials: I just have 1 word. eBay. 133 comments and 100% positive reviews. I've been selling/mailing junk for the past 12 years. read more

They charge $2 to print a shipping label. Let me say that again, $2. What?! Such a rip off. Plenty of other postal annex that don't charge.

The customer service here is exceptional. I went to mail a box and was about to Buy tape and owner told me it was included. He also reduced the size of my box since I had a lot of empty space to reduce price. I never asked him to do that. Pricing was very reasonable and a lot lower than other places. You don't find customer service like this anymore!!!!! read more

I lead a busy life and I do not always remember things...I had forgotten to send a Christmas present to my cousin in Arizona. I sure was cutting it close. I rushed to postal annex and the kind staff laid my worries to rest! They let me know my package would arrive in time. They worked some holiday magic my package did arrive in time for Christmas. Will be going back for all my small business and sending needs in the future. Sorry for the delayed post I had been meaning to review this since December. Would recommend 5/5. read more

Stopped by this location to renew a passport. Staff was friendly and helped me navigate the process. Highly recommend this store if you need passport renewal or printing/ mailing help. read more

The only reason I ever come here is to drop off Amazon packages, if you have to deal with the angry owner Tammy watch out! She is very snarky and unkind to customers. I was sending a package with one employee and she saw that I was sending it in a cheaper envelope and came and switched it for a more expensive one. When I asked her the reasoning for this she got pissed off and said it wouldn't be accepted by USPS, all while rolling her eyes at me. As soon as I stepped out of the place, I hear her going off about me inside to the employee and laugh at me for asking a simple question. If you want to get an earful and laughed at over an envelope this is your place. NEVER BEEN BACK AGAIN! Response to owner comment: The owner Tammy commented below that this is a false review, believe me it is not. The employee attending me was a young Latina, you overheard us and came over and barked out that it had to go in a different kind of package as I was sending a USB in an envelope! I hope that joggles your memory, shame on you! This review is from my experience in late October 2016. read more

Under new ownership! The owner worked for a Postal Annex on West Pt. Loma for years before owning his own in beautiful Shelter Island. I was traveling and needed to renew my Passport last minute. They made it look so easy, I fell safe mailing my documents with their help and got my passport right on time. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Tyler, the new owner (and native Pt. Loman) who was extremely knowledgeable, easy to work with and a delight to our community. Not only did Tyler help me with my needs, he was teaching one of his new employees how to do the service. Please use this business!! Support your Locals! read more

First time using this store. I called ahead to make an appointment for a live scan like the website said but the guy said to just walk in. When I came all the people that could do a live scan were out on break. It was very unprofessional and made me late for a class. The poor lady there was very apologetic since she was left running the shop and wasn't trained how to do it yet. read more

This place is prejudiced against military personnel. I was informed my retired military ID was not valid. I suggest going elsewhere. I've now talked to to two other Notaries Public and both tell me military ID is perfectly valid for notary services. Not to mention I've used my military ID in the past elsewhere and no one questioned it. read more

These guys are awesome. It is under new ownership by a local, and they are always friendly and out to save you money on your shipping. Yesterday on Columbus Day, the USPS was closed, but I went in and Tyler got my outgoing mail stapmped and handled for me. I use them to ship all over. Some of my business friends have mailboxes there also. They have an assortment of services, and I recommend that you pay them a visit. Cheers! read more

Let me remind everyone this is a shipping/packaging needs location. Three things: 1: Postal Annex got one of my packages I sent from their store back due to damage and didn't care to tell me. It was sitting there for a week. Broken. I had insurance on the item, but I got no money back. 2: This may be obvious, but when you go here they up charge all shipments. So I've dropped off a small object and asked for the least expensive way to ship it. They gave me several options, although the cost still seemed so high. I went through with it, to further check out the USPS website and see that it should have cost me 30% less than what I was charged. The USPS is right around the corner - go there and save yourself some money! 3: I dropped a pre-paid UPS package off at their location at 4pm. The UPS truck has always come by at 4:30pm. The package was very urgent and being shipped for 8am next day delivery. Come to find out - 8am the next morning, It is still sitting in San Diego!!! Why? Because the people at Postal Annex failed to tell me the UPS truck came early!!! For all pre-paid items, Postal Annex doesn't care about your item. Thanks Postal Annex for making life difficult. read more

My experience at this location was so pleasant!! I walked in to get a passport photo taken and was in and out in no time! Tyler was super helpful, in fact, if it weren't for him I probably wouldn't have gotten my passport. He showed me where to go, what to bring, and even printed out all the information so that I could tangibly have it. I was shocked by Tyler's friendly demeanor and professionalism! Thank you for all your help Tyler!!! read more

Great friendly service. I don't need their services often, but they seem to know regulars well and it has always been a positive experience.

I was looking for help getting my passport expedited for an upcoming trip to Europe and needed it in less than 2 weeks. Thank you Tyler @ Postal Annex! Hats off! Not only did he get it to me with time to spare, he was just really easy to work with. I go here for all my shipping needs now because this store has legitimately earned my business as a lifetime customer. read more

Tyler is the new owner and his team do an incredible job taking care of my shipping needs. We had an issue with an international shipment from the previous owner, that got lost and he went the extra mile to help us remedy the situation. We are a very loyal customer and I highly recommend them. read more

I have been there maybe 3 or 4 times returning packages using the UPS factor. No problem. Professional friendly and efficient service. But..The notary Lorenza is arrogant and unprofessional!!! They have a child in an adult position...doesn't she get this it's a big city with notary service everywhere. Even just two blocks away. I'm professional and an adult. I understand you are not attorneys and can't give legal advice. F- service!!! read more

Nice, clean store. Visited them for the first time recently and needed to get some files from our corporation expedited but I missed the pickup deadline. The owner was able to take my package and take it to another location so that it could get shipped that night and delivered next day as I needed, great customer service. Thank you Tyler. read more

Cramped parking lot but a great alternative to the Santa Monica post office, especially during busy hours! Plus they have a lot more mailing options like UPS and FedEx! I like coming to Postal Annex because I don't always have a reason to come down to Shelter Island (aside from Pacific Coast Chinese next door, of course). Line is always super short -- especially compared to our US Post Offices -- and they will even pack small packages for you at a small, very reasonable cost. I come here for everything, whether it's buying stamps or mailing eBay goods. Whenever I've asked for anything, they really haven't said they couldn't do it yet. Staff is a mixed bag, sometimes you get animated employees who are very friendly, sometimes you get folks who seem like they really, really hate everything about lives, but hey -- if they can deliver envelopes and packages on time, that's all I need. 4 stamps... er stars. read more

Angie is awesome, she helped my wife and I fill out passport applications take pictures and get everything done for us. She was polite and friendly and super understanding. She did the same for my son in-law I highly recommend this place for your postal needs read more

We were visiting from Santa Cruz and had six packages to mail to family in six different states. We were in and out within 10 minutes. All packages arrived in a timely manner. Cheers to the staff! read more
