Complete waste of my time! First and foremost, I have tremendous respect for everyone, especially elders but holy cow. I was literally next in line to get a couple of things notarized. Was asked to wait 10 minutes or so, so I said sure. When it was my turn, I was turned down in favor of someone else who literally just walked in because they "simply have other services the need to tend to." What???? They completely wasted my time. Mind you, I needed to pick up my daughter so I left pretty disgusted. Nothing annoys me more. Surprised they have even two stars here. Never again. So unprofessional. read more

Efficient and kind service I recommend this postal annex for all your postal or notary needs.

Family friendly staff go out of their way to help you solve your shipping needs. Very helpful.

We went there for finger printing and my daughters school denied there finger printing for bad quality of the finger printing . They told me I had to repay for it and also repay to send it . Most respectful businesses would not make you pay of them any when they were just done . read more

I was looking for a notary late on a Friday afternoon. Fortunately, they had someone available near closing. She was very helpful and flexible. I made some late changes and she was very forgiving and gracious. I will be coming back to this location for all my future notary services. read more

We have been customers here since 2013 and couldn't be more pleased. This is a hard-working family business that has earned our respect after so many years of working together. They are reasonable, authentic, and professional. We have been happy P.O. Box customers and recommend this business 20/10. read more

PostalAnnex+ - Postal Annex Entrance - Shipping Centers Near Me - San Diego, California

These people have no concept of customer service. Why are they in the business? The owners are rude, unhelpful people. I had a shipment refused by them and they failed to tell me this after two visits to their store. It's as if they deliberately wasted my time. Stay away. I certainly will! read more

Small town store with very cute things and lots of options for shipping and copying and fingerprinting ect. They have some of the cutest greeting cards in there and everything seemed to be fairly priced! The guy I met was very good at multi tasking and making sure I, nor anyone else in the store- was waiting long! read more

They don't accept USPS packages past noon (or whenever USPS picks up their packages). They don't take any packages with QR codes. Staff was also really rude. Save your time and go anywhere else. read more

This is a small location but it has what you need in order to get stuff sent out. I've come here frequently to return amazon packages. As a matter of fact, I just did that today at my visit. I believe a husband and wife own the business. The husband can be a bit gruff and more "rough around the edges" when it comes to customer service based on my interactions. The wife is more friendly and smiles and will initiate conversation. At times there can be a long wait...hey are a small business, so give them a break here. Especially if you come in on a lunch break (when everyone else in the area decides to as well). It's obvious that there will be a wait then. They offer an array of services...ups, fed ex, shipping. The wife is a notary as well, if you need that service. All in all, I'll be back here. I really like that it's a small business and I don't mind waiting. Besides, I'm bound to wait at the post office longer anyway, ha! Support a small business!! Come here!! read more

I would give zero stars if possible. If you have a package that is for usps don't bother dropping it off here. Once the post is picked up for the day they won't take your package, so I guess get there by 10am and they might service you. No other postal annex does this, I thought having this spot near work would make my shipping capability much easier. Unfortunately this establishment has made my life incredibly hard trying finding another postal annex in the middle of the day. I have used postal annex at many locations and have dropped packages off as late as 5:30 when they close with no problem. No because I was turned away my return will be late, I was really banking on using this location because of my tight schedule. read more

Open going to this local postal annex for the past 13 years for my employer and have built a relationship with the owners Raja is the wife she's very calm and she has a very wonderful customer service she always has gone above and beyond for my boss and I always asking how we're doing how is his health and greets me every time as well as her husband Ahmad his old school mannerism is not what the reviews have said he's very respectful and laughs with me and just listening to me venting at times and always has a smile on his face and loves his family very much I would continue to support a mom and pop business that is trying to evolve and provide for their family then other big successful businesses that see us as just a number This postal annex has never closed down since I've been working in Mira Mesa since 2009 so they're doing something right with multiple resources including notary to scanning to emails to packaging even when life is rough through this pandemic and our health is at Jeopardy they are always open to the public supporting one another through their challenges I respect this beautiful married couple and their business 100% these days people expect instant gratification We're human we are not robots like society is trying to make us. Much love to you both and may God bless you abundantly . read more

I've tried to give this location several chances but it's just been a very negative experience every time I ship here. Very poor customer service and terrible attitudes from the employees. Plus, when do Postal Annexes not give a receipt for your packages? Every other location gives receipts but this one refuses to. Employee made it clear that Postal Annex is not liable if a package goes missing from the time I've dropped it off to the time it's handed off to the courier. How would it go missing in your Postal Annex facility? I was told several times they're not liable for packages in THEIR care? Under THEIR watch? Wait... what? read more

I stopped by this store to send something internationally via DHL. I had typed out the sender and recipient information on a Word document and handed it over to the lady at the counter. She then told me it would be easier if I just typed the information myself. That was a first! I will give them credit for trying to minimize the packaging required so that it would cost less. The difference between an envelope and a plastic pak can make a huge difference especially shipping overseas. I didn't have a chance to look around the store much but they did have a lot of random shipping and office supplies that you might need. You're probably better off going to a larger retail shop such as Staples or even Target in the same shopping center for supplies. read more

I like that when I drop off my UPS package, they give me a receipt because sometimes, I'm paranoid and I feel like if I drop off my packages in one of those drop-off bins, that no one will pick my package up and that my package will sit there for days. However, at PostalAnnex, I know my package is getting taken care of because they scan it and give me a receipt! This place is hidden next to Domino's Pizza in the same plaza as Target. Passport photos are $11. I will be back for those! read more

I was out in San Diego for a vacation and got delayed multiple times by Southwest so I ended up shipping some of my belongings back to New Hampshire. The gal at the postal annex was so helpful she put together the box we put the belongings in. We closed it up she taped it professionally. And it arrived on time! I highly recommend the postal annex. read more

I went into this store today to ship 3 boxes to the same address. First off, there was a lady before me who was trying to figure out how much something would cost to shop, which seemed to annoy the man at the desk - possibly the owner, he's older and had an accent. Then when she said she was going somewhere else he seemed almost put out, like she had to do her business there. Oh and the small box she bought from him was $8 what the heck that box is probably $2 at Target. Now it's my turn, mind you I wasn't even greeted. I brought up the boxes and immediately he seemed put out, upset that I had that many boxes. He started with my name and couldn't understand a word I was saying, then my address talking to me like I'm an idiot - I said I'm going to put my work address - and he questioned me like I didn't know what I was doing. Then came the ship address again couldn't understand me, so I showed it to him - which again he had problems with... this probably took 5 minutes to input. Next came the boxes - he starts taping them over and over again and then complains that I'm not buying new ones, no thank you I'm not buying a tour over priced boxes. 35 minutes pass... and I'm finally done. And the older gentleman who was hacking behind me called me rude for "making him tape my boxes" um no I didn't make him do anything. My boxes are taped the man wanted to take the entire box on his own, mind your business. I will never go back here again, rude employee and rude customers. Worst customer service ever and slowest service I've ever seen! I'll be going to the FedEx and UPS store like I should have in the first place. I've had NO issues at either place. SO ANNOYED!!! read more

I'm not sure where to start with this place. Since I moved to Mira Mesa a couple months ago, I've been having a hard time finding a post office that is fast where I can just drop stuff off and go quickly. I sell a lot of stuff on Poshmark and so I'm always just trying to mail my postage prepaid packages quickly so I can get to work during the day. I've been to this location more than a few times. Each time I've had to wait in line because I can't simply drop the package off. Oh no. They have to talk to me first which is pretty annoying. "Do you have any explosives, blahh blahh blahh." No! It's just clothing! It takes them a gruelingly long time it to serve each customer. On the one occasion that I have actually paid for postage there, it was incredibly expensive. I would recommend going somewhere else where you'll pay half the price (like the actual post office) or better yet just print out prepaid postage online. But as far as dropping packages off to actually get the mailed from here, I don't recommend that either. Last time, I waited for about seven minutes for them to take my package only to learn that they can't mail my package because it was over 2 pounds. I won't be going back there ever again. I'm done wasting my time and money with this place. read more

Ridiculously overpriced. I do not advise going here. I needed to ship something next day delivery by DHL & they wanted $250 when the DHL shipping quote was $140. i asked why they wanted $110 over the DHL shipping quote & the lady just looked at me & had no answer. i can understand adding some for the convenience of dropping it off at a closer location but $110 extra is absurd. This store gives other Postal Annex locations a bad reputation/name. A complete rip off, what a joke. Avoid this location at all costs. read more

absolutely no help. had a fedex package delivered there since i wouldn't be home to sign off on it. she said there's only one package for pick-up and it was a box of wine. didn't offer assistance and said that maybe it was sent back because it wasn't picked up within 5 days. mind you...their hours lack any sort of convenience AND they're closed on the weekend. read more

I had the absolute worst experience imaginable here. The owner told me my package would cost $42 to ship + approximately $5 for a box, spent literally 30 minutes boxing it, and then charged me $25 for boxing it and $65 to ship. When I told him to remove my item from the box he said no and forced me to pay for the outrageously marked up packaging costs. This place is an absolute rip-off. I would never go back and while I am the first to review I hope that others see this and avoid this place. Go to the post office, or directly to UPS to ship. I am appalled at how they conduct business and I hope nobody has to deal with anything similar to what I experienced. read more

Stopped by to just mail some invitations. I just wanted to weigh them and make sure it only needed one stamp. The man working there took one and told me it would be $1.25 each because they were over the size limit. That seemed high considering it was just a standard 5x7 card, so I told him I would just go to the post office. Thank goodness I did because all they needed was one stamp each. It would have cost me an extra $40 if I had listened. Probably my fault for being lazy and trying to avoid the USPS... read more

I've gone into numerous postal places before and this place has by far the worst customer service! The people who owns it needs to learn customer service skills! I don't recommend this place to anyone! Especially if you have kids! I went in to this location yesterday with my 2 year old son just to send out a fax. I believe the man who helped me was possibly the owner. I turned around just to tell him what I needed and my son was looking at the pens before I could even say a word the person who was behind the counter yells and says "keep your son with you anything he breaks ill have to pay for" I was in shock! I should have just taken my paperwork and left! I have never received such rude service! I don't recommend going to this location at all! The owners have BAD customer service! read more

I don't expect much of third-party mailing centers - and neither should you. I usually head here when I have a prepaid item to ship - it's a convenient dropoff point. As expected, using their mailing services means you'll pay a premium compared to heading down the street to the nearby post office, fed ex center, or UPS store - all of which are less than a mile away. Don't come in here expecting just a minimal mark-up - how else do they keep the lights on? Aside from the mailing services, this joint also provides mailboxes, shipping supplies, and a notary public. read more

I've been using this place for mailbox services for a couple years now. Pricing is reasonable, and they call me to notify me of packages (about 75% of the time). Their notary service, which I have used twice, was fairly priced and professional. But I agree with the other reviewers that the prices for shipping packages from here are quite high. I understand they need to make a profit, and the lines are usually much shorter than at the post office. But I cringe any time I walk in with a box to ship. I have to do the math in my head of "X dollars in overpricing vs Y minutes wasted in line somewhere else" to see if it's really worth it. They used to have more staffing, which I think helped keep the lines shorter, and improved the customer service. Lately, not so much. I'd give a 4 for the inbound mail services and the notary, and a 2 for the outbound mail services. read more

The local PostalAnnex+ is in a convenient location in the same lot as Target. The staff has always been helpful and is extremely easy for me to drop off my prepaid UPS and FedEx packages. Rarely have I had to wait. For any packages you need, ease your errand route and get it all done here! read more

I have a mailbox here, and the price to maintain it is affordable. However, the mailing costs are a little on the high side, so I try not to get any packages mailed from here unless I'm in a rush to get them sent out. read more

Do not go here, poor customer service. Unwilling to help. Did not greet me no want to assist in anyway. Acted as if I was wasting their time. read more

Used this place a handful of times now, and have yet to have a bad experience. I've never waited long in line, and when I send multiple packages out they are great at making sure they keep which is which straight and triple check everything is correct. Good customer service, convenient location for me, and I don't have to worry that the package won't make it because of something like a labeling error. read more

My spouse and I have been with this Postal Annex for a few years, and for the most part the service has been okay. However, I have noticed one thing that they have been doing that I am not happy about. For the past two years, they have raised our monthly rental fee without any advanced notice (either verbally or in writing). To be fair, the amount that the rent was raised was a small amount, but even so, advanced warning of a change in the rental fee would have been appreciated. read more

Fast, friendly, and family-owned, this Postal Annex is my go-to spot to mail anything. The prices on their shipping materials are very cheap as well. Other services include: faxes, passport photos, and notary services. note: $5.00 minimum to pay with credit card read more

Used a prepaid Fedex label to ship and they gave me a free Fedex envelope, I paid no extra fees, fast and friendly service. They also have a notary public. Right next to Domino's so grab a pizza for cheap afterwards. Plenty of parking. read more

This is the place! I love the owners and every time I go in here to mail something, they greet me with a smile and offer me every type of discount to save me money. They are my premiere shipper for my business: www.dollhouseproject4cancer.com What people don't realize is that their computer system has access to ship through the USPS, FedEx, ups and more. Costs can get expensive if you don't inform them of the way you want to ship your package. The cheapest way is of course through USPS. Just let them know. They can do it. It's a heck of a lot better to go here than to go to the post office. Beat the traffic and ship from here. read more

Super overpriced. I went in for passport photos and to ship something via FedEx or UPS. The photos were taken with a point and shoot camera in dreadful lighting, so the result did not meet passport photo requirements at all. I ended up buying the envelope from Postal Annex and headed to the FedEx office down the street to get some passport photos and mail my package. Imagine my shock when FedEx told me that Postal Annex had charged me 30% more than what the actual FedEx price was! I'm never going back to this place - it seems very convenient because they supposedly have a notary and the ability to take passport photos all in one place, but there's no way you can use the passport photos they take. The people were polite but charging me 30% more for an already expensive mailing label was ludicrous! Head over to the FedEx office on Westview parkway if you're going to be mailing stuff via FedEx, or need passport photos. I'm very disappointed with my experience and wish I'd read the reviews on Yelp before wasting my time and money. read more

I had a horrible experience today, and after reading the other reviews, it's pathetically comforting to know I'm not the only one. Basically, my husband asked me to drop off a package that already had a label and just needed to be taped up and have the label affixed. He said there's a nice guy there that does it for him all the time. The box literally needed FOUR pieces of tape. Long story short, there were a total of 6 people in line and when I finally got to the front, and who seemed to be the owner, progresses to get exasperated with me and closes up the box and just leaves the label loose on top of the box telling me "he'll get to it later" because he "has customers in line." I'm sorry, didn't I just wait in line like everyone else to be told I'm not a customer? Anyway, I left then came back an hour later when there was nobody in line and tried to give the owner some friendly advice that it's probably a good idea to provide those simple courtesies (taping my box even though I wasn't paying him) because that's how you can ensure a customer WILL come back with paying business. He proceeded to yell at me and I walked out shaking my head. My husband will have to do it himself next time because you couldn't pay me to set foot in there again. read more

I give this place 4 1/2 stars. The only con is the bankers hours. Otherwise, I'm very happy with this place. I rent a mailbox here and was pleasantly surprised by the great service the rental comes with. I don't often get snail mail, so being able to call ahead to check for anything in my box is a nice amenity. Also, if you're headed there before closing to pick up a package, and get caught in Miramar traffic, like I always do, just call ahead to let them know you're on the way and they'll have the package ready for you. The people that work here are very friendly and extremely helpful. Very happy with this location. read more

I love coming to this place for sending out mail, packages, etc.... they have excellent customer service skills. They are very patient and helpful. Plus you don't have to wait in a long line like you do at the post office. ThI highly recommend this place! The reason why I couldn't give 5 stars is because I think they close too early. read more

I wish I could give them zero stars! The most horrible customer service I have ever ever experienced. Walked in just to drop off packages that were already labeled and taped. The lady insisted I had to wait in line for them to be scanned instead of just dropping them off like any other location. I waited in line for 15 minutes in a line that never once moved because of how slow they were working. This place makes the post office look speedy!! Hope this is not a fens chide because I'll be complaining to the head office. I am still shocked at the service!!! Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Great notary service. Be careful of the price difference if you mail USPS priority mail though. The price us almost doubled if mailing from here compared to mailing from the post office. Also there are hidden added charges (priority mail should already included tracking but they charged me additional tracking fee). Better do your own price comparison beforehand! read more

Did not receive my receipt for for my credit card transaction. Call location and was rudely told I'd have to go back to get it, end of conversation. No other suggestions on a way to resolve. Called corporate which was limited in helping. I suggest you visit another location or better yet another company that have friendly people who want to help and understand your time is worth money too! Unfortunately I encountered previous different unreported issue at this location with the other owner. Bad attitudes. read more
