Susanna was very helpful scanning some documents for me. It was quick and easy and I would recommend this location!

I don't normally write reviews, but this experience earned it. I've now had two great interactions at Postal Annex (1177 Branham Lane), both with Susanna LaCroix. The first time, the store was busy, and she handled everything smoothly. She stayed calm, acknowledged customers waiting, and kept things moving in a way that felt organized and respectful of everyone's time. The second time is what really stood out. I came in expecting to redo an important Trustline document that had been lost. Instead, Susanna immediately stepped in, went to her secured office, located the document, made a copy, and had me taken care of within minutes. When I asked how much I owed, she told me not to worry about it and just come back if I needed anything else. That level of service is hard to find these days. Professional, efficient, and genuinely helpful. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

This place is not advisable if you want to send something via fedex. They charged me FedEx 2 day service for $114 and promised that my package will arrive by Friday night 8 pm on Wednesday at 5pm. Guess what they didn't even have Fedex pick up the next day morning and it was picked up only on Thursday night and FedEx informed me that 2 days shipping will be now on Monday. But that means my package was useless as my friend was leaving the country on Saturday night. When I called the postal annex I was told that oh once the package leaves our location we have no control and I have to call fedex to deal with. Now the interesting part is FedEx is returning to me my package with 2 days and charging me only $13. What these guys at Postal annex is charging is outrageous and complete robbery and that too for poor service and lies. PLEASE DON'T USE THIS STORE if you can!! read more

New owner is knowledgeable, very helpful and customers focus!! The new arrangements inside are very spacious, airy and professional! We came here many times in the past but now, it is a total transformation! They have all the postal services that are available including passport renewal!! Please keep up the good work!! Thanks so much!! read more

I came to Postal Annex for the first time to pay for an international shipment via DHL. I arrived at *** 9:10 in the morning on a Tuesday ***, to make sure I was early enough that my package could be picked up by DHL the same day, as the shipment was urgent. I paid for 2-day DHL delivery (which I did get from DHL, once they actually had the package - no complaints there.) However, my package wasn't handed over to DHL until **** Wednesday at 4:30PM - the following day *** This is confirmed by DHL tracking information. What is the point of saying "This is urgent, get it there as soon as possible" and Postal Annex holds onto the package for 36 hours? If they couldn't do their job, I would have appreciated letting me know so I could go somewhere that actually takes responsibility for shipping packages instead of just collecting your money. Postal Annex - Never again. Disgraceful. read more

Susanna LaCroix is an excellent customer service and is really patient explaining and made our experience feel swiftly.

Best best experience ever! Susanna helped me renew my passport and it was so easy! 10 stars if I could! I highly recommend this shop for any of your needs!!! Thank you Susanna!!! read more

If you're looking for kind, efficient, and clearly understandable customer service for getting everything you need done, this is the place! Be sure to ask for Susanna LaCroix, because she's a master at providing kind, warm, honest assistance and at conflict resolution! read more

Love this location, it's become my regular go to drop off spot. I originally found this location next to the post office because the postal office doesn't have access to printing out labels. Susanna is amazing, and everyone here is also really helpful and super efficient. I had a great experience and felt like they provided excellent customer service. It really feels like your friendly neighborhood store. read more

Today we went to the Postal Annex at 1177 Branham Ln, San Jose, to get our passport pictures taken so we can renew our passports before next year's travel. The staff at this store were SO lovely! Susanna and her assistant skillfully juggled us, several other people who came in for photos or to drop off packages or buy bubble wrap, with pleasant efficiency and a positive attitude! They were so nice and knowledgeable that we agreed to let them handle the renewal, even if we could have done it online ourselves. A short time later - with a short interruption to watch a little infant get his photos taken for Baby's Fist Passport, we have our packages sealed up and on their way! If you're thinking of getting or renewing a passport, I highly recommend this store! read more

Book binding turned out excellent. Susanna went above and beyond to make my book binding project a success. I highly recommend Susanna at Postal Annex. A pleasure doing business. read more

Susanna at Postal Annex on Branham in San Jose is wonderful! I have been there twice now for services since the change in ownership, and am VERY pleased. Not only is she knowledgeable in services provided but is also very friendly. read more

I had a very good experience. I needed a Livescan and Suzanne helped me with that. I did not have an appointment but she started working with me within about 5 minutes of me arriving. There were other customers that arrived after me, and there was another customer service representative that was able to handle their needs while Suzanne was busy with me. She was very knowledgeable and kind and made a very positive impression working me through the parts of the process. I will definitely consider them for any other needs I have in the future (Notary or shipping). read more

Went in just for a box to ship something. Got no greeting or even acknowledgement that I had entered the store despite walking past two employees. The store is a mess and completely unorganized I couldn't find what I needed and the employees were all busy talking to each other to even notice I needed help. Left without ever speaking or even making eye contact with an employee. read more

I came in for a renewal of my passport and had looked online but was still unsure what to do. Enter Susanna LaCroix. She is by far the most wonderful and helpful person at this Postal Annex--but, it's more than that, her true personality shines through as just a kind, hard-working, appreciate person. She is naturally friendly and interesting--and is so easy to work with! She truly embodies true "customer service"-- more than that, she embodies "people service." I was able to get through the process with reassurance and confidence. I really enjoyed talking with her! read more

Today i had needed to take passport photos for both my lovely girlfriend and myself and thought of the task as any other government hassle. Susanna LaCroix had changed that opinion nice and quick with her amazing customer service skills and amazing attitude ! She skillfully helped two addition customers with packages in the time it took for our passport photos to print, and with no time wasted got us out of there. Thank you Susanna ! read more

I had such a positive experience at Postal Annex thanks to Sanya. She helped me notarize a contract and an affidavit, both of which required additional forms. On top of that, I was given odd and confusing instructions afterwards about how the company needed the documents sent by FedEx Express. Sanya was incredibly kind and patient. She took the time to carefully read everything with me, explain each step, and make sure I followed the instructions correctly so that my forms were both notarized and mailed exactly as required. Government forms are rarely simple, but she truly went above and beyond to make the process stress free. I am so grateful for her help and highly recommend this location for anyone needing notary or mailing services. read more

This place has gone downhill with the new ownership. The lady is incompetent and rude. Will never come back here again. She manage to piss off two customers back to back, including myself. read more

Great experience shipping here. Hard to find an easy way to ship wine. Excellent service - kudos to Susanna and Anthony for their help!

This review is for Postal Annex on Branham. I went there to mail 36 inch high garden flamingos and 2 round iron garden wall decorations to Las Vegas. The 2 employees, Sanya and Suzanne, worked hard to find the correct packaging for these odd shapes. They bubble wrapped my items with great care and packed them safely for mailing. While I waited I was offered water and a seat. When the owner arrived he did the same. I received friendly, focused customer service. read more

New Owners and a great new team! Renew your passport, rent a mailbox, do your life scan here, and find a notary without an appointment. Also has a hair dresser, nail designer, tattoo parlor, fresh water served by our dear John next door, and a wonderful team watching over your puppy while you shop. The post office is right next to PostalAnnex and Sprouts across the street. What else do you need?? read more

I needed to send some medications across the country, and had no idea how to best do this. Thankfully, I stopped into Postal Annex on Branham. Susanna took care of me as if I were her best friend! She's as knowledgeable as she is kind. The meds arrived to the FedEx hub in Illinois that we decided upon with ease. I highly recommend this Postal Annex. read more

Deceiving, rip off! I went in assuming it actually belonged to the post office, since it says postal annex and has official postal sign in window! I bought international stamps, and was surprised by the high charge. One sheet should have been 16.50$ but the owner charged me 23$. When I looked it up and inquired he said no, that is post office price, he charges more! Wouldn't refund me. Total rip off and bad experience! read more

Susanna is an associate and an excellent educator. I appreciate her. Thank you for your services.

My Family and I have been customers for over 25 years. The son and the female friend/relative that work there are very nice. Unfortunately they are very seldom there. The husband and wife are not friendly at all and quite rude. I have been YELLED at because I got what they thought was a large package approx 3.5x3.5x3.5. The wife called me at work and started YELLING at me repeatedly to pick up my package immediately! Then a year later they informed us, we cannot get more than 5 packages a month. I went in today to pick up my Amazon package and they said they will not be receiving Amazon packages anymore. The husband told me that it's because Amazon makes them sign for each package rather than one signature for several. Going forward, Amazon packages will be refused. Our contract does not specify these changes. These owners change the regulations according to their mood, and to top it off they do it with an attitude. We all have bad days but you don't take it out on your loyal customers. If you are having a great and happy day and want to ruin it, stop by and ask them for their service. read more

I experienced friendly service and the gentleman went out of his way to help me. I had a FedEx package and I had not labeled it appropriately. He took the time to help me figure out how to label it appropriately and taped it on the package for me. I will return to this location. Thank you. read more

Livescan/fingerprinting I originally went to UPS to do my live scan and after a month of not getting a status update from my agency I called UPS for an update only for them to brush me off and say that it's not their problem. I decided to do a new live scan and found this place nearby. I explained my situation to the gentleman and he was very knowledgeable and explained to me about the process. He has owned his livescan since 2008 and it gets electronically sent to the DOJ within minutes (he literally showed me on his screen the moment it gets transferred to when it gets completed). Sure enough, I went home and decided to check my status on the DOJ website and it was completed and forwarded to my agency! Andddd the fee is cheaper than UPS! Thank you for your service! read more

This place is slow and unorganized. Employees don't seem to care either. Save yourself the headache of going here.

I needed to ship packages several times in the last week, and they have been very helpful. I even had to have some paperwork notarized, and sent overnight. They printed the files, notarized them, double checked everything, and we made the deadline for UPS pickup. Everything has arrived on time, and the staff is very efficient. They know exactly what to do to get things done. They also have a very nice selection of greeting cards, and can make duplicate house keys. Of course, it is a huge plus that they are close to my home but I would probably go there even if I lived a little further away. read more

Went to Postal Annex to take care of passport photo and mailing it out. The gentleman there (I believe owner) was extremely helpful. Great customer service is hard to come by, but not here. Thank you for your help and kindness read more

If i could give zero stars i would !!!!! Omg i went in to fax something and i was just waiting in line and the lady working there was very rude to the customer before me . The customer kept repeating to her what she wanted and the owner was very rude and very short with her and telling her I DONT KNOW WHAT U WANT TELL ME WHAT U WANT I DONT UNDERSTAND YOU ! The customer was very clear on what size box she wanted and everything . Their store is also very hot and very dusty . But the customer service is horrible ! I ended up going to the UPS store and got much better service and was so much happier ! read more

This location is whack. I only went to this location because it was in the vicinity of another errand I was running at the time. The other one by Aborn is very fast and efficient. This one was hella Slow service. I simply had to drop off a few packages: one from FedEx and one from USPS... owner said I couldn't leave my USPS package with him and told me to go to USPS across the street. He proceeded to give me some lame explanation of why he couldn't take it while he was helping another customer and I was walking out, but I really couldn't understand wtf he was saying. All I know is that it literally is posted outside their shop that they ship for Fed Ex, UPS, and United States Postal Services. The Aborn location NEVER has given me problems with USPS packages in all the years I've visited them. This place sucks and that worker was just freaking lazy. read more

Its zero star not one I was there yesterday. They don't accept less than 10 dollars by card and my prints were 8 dollars and the very rude lady who works there didn't speak a word to me from the time I entered the store until the time I paid, and I was there for 15 minutes. I wanted to pay 8 dollars and I didn't have it with me by cash, and she said that I can pay her 10 dollars to be paid by card. They use any method to get more money from you and not pay their own taxes. Of course, I didn't accept that and that lady didn't give me my prints until I gave her 8 dollars by cash. I will never go there. And because they want to pay less tax, she wasted my time and she really tried to convince me to pay $10. they only talk with the customers when they want to pay thats all, even if you stay there for 1hour to print something or anything else they not care about you they only care about mony and their taxes . read more

Worst service ever. The woman behind the counter was speaking to male coworker who was leaving and completely ignored me. Couldn't even bother to say, I'll be right with you. Rude, rude, rude! I walked out and I won't be going back! I really didn't want to give this business 1 star but I could not post with selecting a star. Argh! read more

If you ever want to annoy the living xxxx out of someone, go here. You don't have to say or do anything. Just walk in. Your presence alone will put the lady over the edge. She will be frustrated, annoyed, and have the worst day of her life by just seeing you walk into her store. If you are not looking to ruin somebody else's day, just go to USPS, circle around for parking spot, wait in loooong line, and deal with mediocre customer service. Your day will be better too by not being treated like pile of xxxx. read more

If you want to be aggravated, this would be the place you'd want to go to. I was there for a simple service. Since this place was the closest by about 1/4 mile, I chose it. Unfortunately the service was not available, due to their internet being down. Now I understand that this is beyond their control, however their treatment of me was rude and discourteous and not how anyone should treat customers. Am I the only one who feels this way - just have a look at the other reviews and you'll see its a common trend. This is would be the last time I'll visit this place. There are other options within the vicinity for the same services they provide, I'd rather take my business to a place that treats me like they want my business versus a place that makes me feel like I have to beg them to get the service that I'm paying for. read more

Great service!!! the owner really knew what he was doing as I was feeling very lost trying to return some thing! Definitely will come back for the holidays! read more

So, we all have to make money somehow right ? I brought in a package . I just didn't tape the box . It was supposed to be sent out at no charge . & this lady charged me $1 for like probably just 8 inches of tape . I was a very SMALL box . I was honestly upset because she goes "you have to pay $1, you have to pay cash ." Okay, is that your tax free money or what ??? & HELLO MANNERS ? A "Please" would be nice! A "hello, how are you" at the door too .. read more

If I could seriously give this place 0 stars I would. I came in midday on a Wednesday and this location was absolutely empty. I met with an Indian gentleman at the counter and needed packages dropped off along with a receipt. I had 2 UPS packages and one USPS package. He proceeded to tell me he will not take USPS and to go across the street. I was completely confused as to why this was and I got a mumbled response I could not understand for my life. I usually go to a different PostalAnnex location and have never had this issue once and I have probably shipped hundreds of packages for customers. Whatever, I let that one go and let him take my UPS packages. He then proceeded to tell me he will not give me a tracking receipt. What in the world?!?! This place just seemed super shady and I decided to leave altogether since I was shipping expensive packages and feel that they were not safe at this location. Once again, if I could give 0 stars I would. read more

I came here today and needed to ship a package out that needed to be printed first. The lady asked me to follow directions to print and told me that I will need to pay $1. Then she looks at the printed label and says I don't accept usps Mail and I would need to go to a usps office. She makes me pay the $1 for the printed paper that she kept and never gave me to at least take with me if I paid for it. The owner says I need to ask first and they don't need to tell me first. I called the cops and they said they need to give me the paper i paid for. These people will take your money and will not provide service. The lady yells and speaks in her language and the guy is very rude. He basically started yelling. He only gave me my paper when I told him that I called the cops and what he's doing is illegal that's when he went back in and gave me my printed label. read more
