Okay to bad service. A few months ago I was searching around to find a place that can accept UPS drop-off packages nearby instead of going to those real UPS locations. I remember passing by this place many times and seeing the UPS sign since I go to the Safeway next door. One day I had 2 boxes taped and already had UPS shipping labels on both of them. Out of convenience I decided to try this place out and stopped by in the afternoon. I was lucky that day to find parking right in front. Because my boxes were very heavy, I decided to walk in first and ask the lady if they do accept UPS packages for pickup. The lady replied yes. Then, I asked if I can get some help or at least borrow her moving tool thing I saw hiding beside all the mail boxes in another room. She basically replied NO and suggested me get a Safeway cart from outside. I remember during that time either my back or foot was hurting...so I was very irritated to be treated so insincerely without any offer to help. Obviously, a person would not ask for help if he or she did not need help in the first place. In the end, I had to find a Safeway cart, heft the 2 boxes into a cart, push the Safeway cart into her establishment, then lift the 2 heavy boxes up and and over the cart before she put the 2 boxes aside... Then, she had the nerve to ask me to push the Safeway cart back outside... I had to withhold my anger and vowed to write this Yelp one day, and today was the day. I hope nobody else will get this terrible experience. It was supposed to be a simple and easy breezy drop-off, smile and go type of thing. I already had everything ready from home. Unfortunately, bad service so not wasting my time here ever again. read more

See all

Ms. Devi seemed quite nice this time around - I didn't sense anything off about her as others may have complained about. She seemed a little busy, but she managed to help me out fairly quickly. The document scanning was done fairly quickly and, aside from waiting to be assisted (she was helping another man first), it was basically an in-n-out job. I do not believe, however, that the document scan is worth a few bucks. I am sure there are other places that would charge me for mayhaps less than a dollar. I hope that they rectify that and that they provide better/competitive pricing because I felt like it was more than what I expected. I may be back for future business - but I will be comparing it to future experiences elsewhere. I am happy to help local and small businesses when I can, especially one run by families, so I am not too particularly upset about the possible loss due to a higher cost, however I can't help but question if the rates were fair or reasonable... Review to be updated. read more

Namita was lovely! She answered our questions and handled our paperwork with swiftness and professionalism. We were in and out in less than 15 minutes. read more

Terrible service! Avoid at all costs! For a small priority one flat rate box ( should cost $5/$6) they said $20!!! They triple pro rate the cost! I will be shipping from Office Depot or directly from Post Office from now on! Don't let them steal your money. read more

It's family owned and their service is great. I will continue to come back and refer people to come here.

Good service and very efficient! Takes a little longer due to COVID, but worth the wait. Very helpful people too!

I needed to get a document scanned. They wanted to charge me $1.50 per page for a 44 page document. $66.00 to get something scanned? What?! They then countered with $1.00 per page. No thanks! Seems dishonest at best... Would avoid at all cost. read more

The owners of this Postal is a man and a woman who already know me and are always very kind and helpful whenever I come in to ship out a package. Yesterday I came in to get my fingerprints done and realized that the owners weren't there and instead was a short lady with glasses working. She was not giving at all good customer service. She kept going to the back to do whatever she was doing while my boyfriend, another lady who was there before us, and I were waiting for her to help us when we finished filling out the documents for the fingerprints. She was also wearing a earbud while talking to us which is unprofessional because you can't be working and talking to a customer while listening to music at the same time. She was giving the lady and I horrible attitude, she kept raising her voice at us, and whenever we had a question about what to fill out in the documents she will be rude and tell us she didn't know and to figure it out ourselves. Once I finished filling out my documents I gave it to her and she was about to process it but then there was one box I filled in incorrectly and she told me to call the agency who was hiring me and to confirm with them what to write down or else she won't be able to process my fingerprints. I asked her about that same box before filling it in and she said she didn't know what to write down and all of a sudden she knew what I had to write down in the all along? She also started to raise her voice at me and started to sound annoyed for not filling in the box correctly. My boyfriend and I had to leave without my fingerprints because we couldn't deal anymore with her rudeness when my boyfriend and I were always being nice to her. She is also racist because she was treating me and the lady who was there before us differently because were Latinas. Once I see the owners again I am going to tell them about this lady because this type of customer service is unacceptable and not tolerated especially when the customer needs help and is being kind. read more

TERRIBLE! They rip your off and CHARGE EXTRA! They took advantage of my 20 year old daughter. She had a SMALL keychain to mail out. They gave her a package bag that was the size of a TEXTBOOK and charged her $17. That price is way too much to ship a tiny keychain. NEVER coming here again. Totally waste of my money and they rip you off and charge you way too much. Very disappointed and angry. read more

This particular location has inconsistent pricing with their print and copy service. It can range anywhere from $0.09 to $0.15 depending on the day and or person for each black and white photocopy. They overcharge for the printing services and were very dishonest about shipping costs. When I went to the Post Office behind them, I realized that Postal Annex charged me $15 more for a package (with the same delivery date, weight, service, address, etc) than it's actual cost. I am never taking my business here again. read more

The 3/4 of times I've been to this location the workers seemed like the don't want to help. I never left a comment or review because I normally brush it off but this time I can't. I normally go to a different location on south white rd and they workers there are EXTREMELY nice and helpful. It was just a drop off and they told me to drop it off and I asked for a receipt. I usually ship UPS and USPS and I always get a receipt from ANYWHERE that ships and they said they don't give USPS receipts or anything, because it's USPS that if I want a receipt I need to go to them personally. I told them I've been to many before and they all and they said no. I told them I'm not picking them back up if they get lost I'm going back to them. I walked out near my car and they were yelling at me to come get my packages. They I told them it's in their In their possession now I'm not getting it. I guess I got lucky because the USPS worker was at the door about to pick up the packages and she took them. read more

Terrible customer services, I am impress they are still in business, the less you talk or hear how they tread customer the better. I think they are the owners, very ruth. read more

I liked this Postal Annex. $10 notary (standard) but the kicker is that she's open on Sundays for the holiday season. I also had to get a color copy made, 40 cents. read more

Horrible service lady was looking at the news on the computer instead of trying to download my file. Instead to make an extra buck she sent me to use their computer where I was being charged by the time. She said that both her computers were down which was hard to believe. When I tried paying she tried to take an extra dollar. Wow this was my first bad experience at a postal annex. read more

Postal annex always provides professional and fast service they are open late and always willing to go the extra mile.

I found this Postal Annex location to be a pretty good one. I needed a heavy Dell workstation (seriously, this thing is like solid steel) shipped out to Boston, MA via Fedex and didn't want to risk having it get damaged in transit. I took it in and the folks behind the counter were very helpful and friendly. They got it all set to go with lots of bubble wrap/peanuts while we waited. I'm also a fan of being able to drop off any carrier's packages if you have a prepaid shipping label - Fedex Office only accepts Fedex and UPS Store only accepts UPS, but Postal Annex accepts Fedex, USPS and UPS - saving me time and gas. As an added bonus, it's pretty much walking distance from my apartment. read more

In January of 2020 I needed to send 2 keys from this SJ location to Sacramento, CA. The lady behind the counter quoted me $70 to FedEx overnight. As I walked out, she yelled behind me, "Is for because the overnight process". I ignored her and went to the FedEx center on Blossom Hill Road (just a couple of miles away) and paid $20! Shame on that greedy person. Even though she sells some cute things from her country, I'll never go back there again. Judge for yourself..... read more

I was rushed to get some important docs faxed and our machine was down. Decided to give the local Postal Annex a try. No extra cost for cover sheet, $1/page for the rest, not bad. Two days later, the lady behind the counter remembered me when I came back with an urgent batch of docs, this time to mail. I arrived at the same time as the last pickup from the USPS, so was told it would go tomorrow. Just a little worried look on my face sent the sweet ladies behind the counter scrambling to meter my mail and run it personally out the door to the waiting postman. Friendly courteous staff. Reasonable rates. Copier, packing supplies, notary public, etc. Give them a try! read more

Such great service - one time I even forgot my wallet and the owner was like " don't worry you always come here just pay next time, you here every week at the same time- you'll get it next time " I was so happy... Both ladies are always kind helpful and courteous! They always look to save YOU shipping money too !! read more

PostalAnnex - Lots of card to choose some I'm always forgetting to buy cards for my shipments :) - Notaries Near Me - San Jose, California

I live near this location and have been using it for years. Honestly, it's been a mixed experience. It's run by a couple that I assume are husband and wife. I've always had a positive experience when dealing with the man, but the woman just gives off an air of not wanting to be there. I often just print a prepaid label and drop the package there. I wonder if they realize how much it is hurting their business, especially with the Post Office being next door (literally). Recently I dropped a couple of high-value items off to return. Having had returns 'go missing' in transit in the past (doubt it was the fault of Postal Annex), I wanted proof that they'd accepted the packages from me, just in case they didn't reach their destination. This is apparently an unusual request, and not easy for them to satisfy. And they charge for it. Well, Ok, I guess... But then after one package was dropped accidentally (with no apology) and the other deliberately (rather than bend over to put it down), I was beginning to wonder if I should drive to the local FedEx store next time. Yes, I realize it'll likely go through much worse on its journey, but somehow I'd feel better if they were handled with more care while I'm standing right there. Normally there's little to find fault with, but this experience was definitely mixed. It went much more smoothly when the man took over (a reflection of their respective attitudes, not their gender). read more

Five stars for my experience because she was able to quickly help me overnight an envelope pack quickly. Don't expect warm and fuzzy customer service because she seems to be running a one-woman show. Thank you! read more

I had a mailbox here for a year when I was working in the bay area. They were very good to me. Even though I was only in a couple times a month they always greeted me by name. Sometimes I would have a giant package sitting there for a week and even in their small shop they didn't complain. I can also state that I felt much safer having my items sent there rather than my apartment. One time my roommate tried to pick up a package he had sent to my address by mistake. They were very firm in not allowing him to have access to my mail without contacting me first. If you need to send something USPS, however, I would probably recommend going to a real post office. They charge a fee (they have to make money somehow). read more

I went to get my fingerprints done. As I waited the older Indian lady said it would be $70, I thought that was a bit pricey but I was going to be reimbursed anyway. The younger Indian lady did my fingerprints and it did seem like she was trying. She only charged me $20 as well. My complaint is that I had to wait 6 week for my potential employer to call me and say that the department of justice never received my fingerprints and I'll have to redo them. They could have cost me a job! Be very careful where you go to get your prints done for a new employer! read more

Went in for a notary on one document for hubby and myself. Two signatures. Max charge as a notary is $15 per signature so when he said $30 charge I knew that was correct since I'm a notary myself and walked away while hubby paid. Didn't know til later we were charged $60! That's double the legal rate! Store was closed by the time I learned this but will definitely be calling Monday morning for my refund! Also didn't even fingerprint us. Will not be going back there for any service. Disappointed because so many similar business but this location seemed to have so many more services. Have a child in college we mail packages to all the time and now for sure will not be giving this place our business. Not ok to overcharge your customers on purpose! read more

Had my finger prints taken was done expediently and got the results in a timely manner no problems

I had wonderful service with a sweet lady named Marissa she seemed very organized and was able to get me in and out in a timely manner! I had no idea what I was doing or how to send my package but she helped me figure it out and get it done quick and smooth!! Thanks Marissa! Thanks postal annex! read more

Don't be taken by this so called "Postal Annex". Took a $14.35 USPS Priority One Rate box to ship. After inputting all the info- she tells me $24.35! I immediately took my box and said "you must be joking- you advertise as a "Postal Annex" yet you jack up the price by $10!! Funny- the other Postal Annex I went to after that- $14.35 as posted on the USPS website. Don't be fooled friends! Rip off!! read more

i would give zero stars if i could ! this place has ripped me off on multiple occasions. they charged me $70 to send a sweater to arizona. it was not even overnight shipping ! do not come here trust me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you are the owner reading this, i hope you scammed so you know how it feels. read more

Terrible service at this location and I was just dropping off a prepaid package. Lady at the front desk needs to lighten up realize its not her against the world. I had also asked about how much their boxes cost and she told me something like $10?! Just go to Home Depot because you can get boxes for under $2 there. Save yourself some money by driving a little farther to a different location and you'll also spare yourself a headache at the same time. read more

Very pricey I feel like they really add on the fees I will go to the post office next time.

I am so upset! I have been going to Postal annex since I was in high school printing pages and going on the internet for school and for other various reason over the past ten years. There was a new lady in there today and she charged me for using the internet the problem with that they have Never charged me before. And the cashier i previously mentioned her name was Young I asked her how long gave you been charging to use the computer she said 12 years. There my friend is back handed racism she made up a price and just threw it at me now if i didnt know how much already it cost to print i wouldve just was like well and paid the woman. The sad part the Owner who I had already made transactions with was yelling from the back for her to just give it to us and Young then threw the money back at My husband and i. It's the principle be honest and don't up charges because I'm black that's disgusting ! read more

I went there a few months back because I needed something mailed and didn't have any stamps. It was literally right around the corner, so I figured it was convenient enough to give them a shot. When I got there the lady told me that to send a letter would be 75 cents. Which I was shocked because the stamp only costs 43 cents (or was it 42 at the time). Anyway, I asked the lady why they charge 75 cents when the postage was only 43 cents. She looked at me like I had stolen something. She then said she would do it for 60 cents. To which I looked at HER like she stole something. I was about to walk away when she said she would do it for 50 cents and made the argument that I would probably spend more than the 7 cent difference on gas cost driving to a post office... what the hell kind of joint are they running over there? read more

Prices are twice as much as you would be paying if you just print out the shipping label online. This review is for domestic usps priority mail. I'm all for helping out small businesses but when you rip people off like that-it's just no good. The lady is nice but lying to me by telling me that's the going rate - stupid me for not looking it up ahead of time. read more

Checked the website for this place. The website said 4:30 was the latest drop off time at this location for UPS packages. Went in just after 4 and they were to busy talking and chatting they didn't even notice me. I said I want to drop this off for UPS to go out today. They both looked annoyed and said it's too late for today it won't go out until Monday then turned around and finished their conversation. No customer service at all. I took my package and went up the street to the UPS store where we received wonderful customer service. read more

Avoid at all costs!!! They charge 50-120% more than the post office! Watch out, or better yet, avoid this place and go somewhere else. They will take you for all they can get. They lied to me about shipping costs, charged $25 for a $14 delivery, charged $120 for a $55 delivery!! The most dishonest shop I have come across in the South Bay area. read more

I have to be fair and say that I can't rate them on their services as I did not pay for any services nor goods there. I did however drop off a prepaid package for Fed Ex pickup. Much like a few others have said- I was greeted with a friendly smile at first by the older Indian lady, but then as soon as she realized that it was drop off only, her friendly demeanor was erased instantly. Isn't this one of the services that they can provide to the neighborhood? And by being friendlier- you would increase the likelihood of someone paying for goods/using services in the future. Because of this- I will probably look for shipping services elsewhere. read more

Very professional and fast paced service. Got everything from a public notary to passport photos and mail services done in 10minutes flat

Needed some notary services and shipping label. Very bad experience. Very rude notary lady. She seemed to making decisions on my behalf and was questioning the decisions I made e.g. why did u choose this document, you could have used something else. She was very opinionated and it was a very horrible experience. I dont think I will EVER go to this posalannex again. read more

Love this annex because it's a quick way to get ur fingerprints done for new employees! The store also carries an assortment of jewelry, beaded purses, and cards! Go there to get ur postal box! Yay read more

Finger prints, notary, money order, mail, etc.. It's nice to just have it all done in one place that's nearby.
