If you go to Fedex and you need to print anything, you can do that for 17 cents. If you go to UPS and you need to print a shipping label that you already paid for, it is 4 dollars. Complete scam. read more

Two days ago, I went to this location to drop two items for shipping and was told by one of the workers that I'd be charged $8 for them to print the shipping labels, which would've been a total of two pages, and I "let it be known" that it was outrageous and then left. As I was getting situated in my vehicle, a different worker came out - in the rain - and invited me to go back in so that I would be taken care of and the charges would be waved, which was a big exception. I was having a tough day, not to mention the rain, so all the more, I greatly appreciated that the exception was made. Although there were quite a number of other customers in the store waiting to be waited on, it all went quite fast - which is the usual there - and I was assisted by the same two workers. These days, unfortunately and sadly, such exceptions are rarely made. Kudos to them! read more

Great customer service here! This location is not the closest to me but it's worth coming here when there's usually no lines. Even when there's a line, it moves quickly. So you're in and out the store in no time. read more

Upon retirement, I had to return an important item to my employer, and I shipped it from this store. The label was created and the item was lost. I had to personally go in and ask them to activate the complaint and I kept having to prod them for a status - only to find that the package was lost. read more

I had 2 big heavy boxes to return to a supplier who shipped me the wrong items. I taped at home my 2 UPS return labels (which I got from the supplier) on the 2 boxes, and then...where shall I find a UPS store where parking is easy, dropping the boxes a cinch, getting a receipt certifying my drop-off, and would indeed make the return happen asap? Believe me, the 3 UPS Oakland stores closest to where I live actually can hardly fill 1 out of 4 of these basic customer hopes. So I looked at YELP reviews and decided to try this Alameda UPS store. Bingo: found free parking in front of the store, was greeting politely as soon as I entered, dropped the boxes, got a receipt, and was able to verify the next day online with the tracking number that my shipment was already on its way back to the supplier. All good! Thank you for the great experience, Blandings store employees, truly. read more

They will charge you $4 to print a single UPS shipping label. That's a lot for one piece of paper after you already paid them to ship the package. Do not recommend. read more

I needed to mail an item back to T-Mobile and I went to 2 T-Mobile stores to which they told me they don't know how to mail their item back even though the rep was the one who sent me to them. I decided to go to my local ups and omg!!! No wait. Just walked up. I was greeted by 2 associates but the one who helped me was Rizza. Rizza was an absolutely wiz. She suggested an item that was budget friendly, she helped me put my items together and she did it all with kindness and professionalism. If you ever go to this location and are lucky enough to get her... you will be in great hands! Thank you Rizza! read more

Always get good service and usually in and out quickly...have sent packages,used notary services and never had an issue ...

The best UPS store for me, very accommodating and helpful, asked for FRAGILE sticker and provided to me with no problem, GAGAN, specifically is the one who helped me, very nice and friendly, compare to the other UPS close by my house I recommend this UPS store location! read more

This place has always had super helpful employees. Now under new ownership. I hope they keep the former employees! New management seems to understand it's all about customer service. Wish them much success. They might want to start a new Yelp account since they are under new management. read more

I didnt get his name but the Indian gentleman around 3:30pm today went above and beyond for me regards to customer service. I know I may have come off rude and he honestly didn't have to even help me. I just wanted to say I really appreciated him. My friend sent me just the qr code and I didn't know it had to be packaged up. I always drop off my packages here and will continue to support this ups. read more

Came here for a quick Amazon return on Tuesday around 1pm. There were 2 people that were being helped already. I waited less than a minute and was helped. Pulled up the QR code, got it scanned and processed. Left the store within 2 minutes. Painless transaction. Would come here again！ read more

First time ever reviewed for UPS ever. I really appreciated my first experience here. Gagan was an amazing associate and helped me through my mess of Christmas Amazon returns. I had about 20 items with different codes and Gagan was great maneuvering and keeping things organized. I just moved to Alameda and will be comfortably coming to this store. read more

I came in at the last minute with forms that needed to be notarized. Gagan and Jagjit help me out in every way possible even after the store closed for a few minutes to make sure that I had everything that I needed to be shipped. It was a long day for me and they help me out when I needed it most. This is an example of two people going above and beyond their responsibilities :) read more

Gagan was extremely helpful and patient with a very large and slow Amazon return. Thanks for making the experience great!

So glad to have this amazing business on our island. The staff is always incredibly friendly, welcoming and willing to help. Thanks for the exceptional service read more

On approximately June 20th, I came into the store to ship a very unique, irreplaceable automotive part to a fabricator. I paid this store to box and ship it, and they provided me a receipt with a tracking #. Roughly a week later, after the recipient had not received the part, I tracked it. It showed "ready for pickup." It had never been sent. I went over to the store to find out what was going on, and was told that they had sent the item to the wrong recipient, but they would process it as a lost package claim. This lost one off part cost me approximately $400 to have re-fabricated, and now, over 2 months later, I don't even have the claim from the "lost package" paid. These people are beyond incompetent. Avoid like COVID. read more

Came here for a return and Gagan was very helpful. The return instructions didn't tell me I needed to put everything in a box and tape it but he was very nice to help me do it all free of charge. read more

Yesenia at UPS on Alameda in Burbank is the most efficient nicest and quickest staff member and I won't go anywhere else !

I had to send two items overnight so I went to the UPS store on Blanding in Alameda. Michelle was the person who helped me and was great! She suggested using two bigger envelopes and they worked great! She gave me several shipping options for both of my shipments and was very patient with me while I decided what to do. She is very professional and I really appreciated her efficient work. I will definitely go back to this UPS store again! Marianne B read more

I think I lucked out on the day I went?! There's so many bad reviews... I'm a little shocked. I had a lot of amazon returns I've been hoarding since it's COVID season and I didn't want to go out the house to UPS. I went in and there was no line and this young lady helped me out. She was super fast, helpful and nice! I gave her my returns and returned everything so quickly and smoothly I was so surprised! I was stressing out so hard about returning all my stuff LOL. I will definitely keep coming here for all my amazon returns! read more

I rarely leave negative reviews but this was ridiculous. I was bringing my Amazon package to return and was told I need to pay for tape to package it myself. It needed tape at the top of the box to seal it but everything else was in tact. I pointed out that Amazon has instructions that say "Show the return code below on your mobile device to an associate at THE UPS STORE, who will scan the QR code, PACK, and ship your return for FREE.". They said that is what Amazon says and not their policy. I called the UPS Store in Marina and they verified that the procedure is to scan the QR code and that will tell them if I have to pay for anything. Both workers at the Blanding location had an attitude of not giving a crap. Please save yourself the headache and just take Amazon returns to Marina Village instead. The UPS Store at Marina Village was way better at listening, accommodating, and following proper procedure. Avoid this store if you can. read more

This is the worst ups store I ever been , they what to over charge you for everything even if you already paid for your own label they charge for printing that really don't make any sense read more

I walked in today to fax a few things. The people working looked up and saw me & took over 3 minutes to say anything to me. (There were no other customers in the store) This is very hurtful. I hate to say this ´did this happen to me because of my race? The ppl working were just as dark or darker than I am. They may have been Indians- not sure. It's a shame. This was very cruel and disrespectful. I'm a hardworking, kind middle age blk woman. I have done nothing but I was treated like an invisible person. Actually, worse than invisible- they looked at me and then ignored my presence. read more

my go to UPS store lines are pretty short or if there is a line it goes by pretty fast. Employees are nice. Gagan always goes beyond his customer service and has a great attitude every time I'm in the store. read more

I called this UPS Store to see if they accept the Styrofoam packing popcorn one receives in items shipped in a box. Response: yes, they do take them. I stopped in to drop them off. This UPS Store is a business where one can have items shipped, legal documents notarized, rental of mail boxes, etc. They carry office supplies and greeting cards. There are plenty of copying machines, too. The lady working there gladly accepted the packing popcorn and thanked me for bringing them in. If I get more of the packing popcorn, I know where I can drop them off at - the UPS Store. read more

See all

I've dropped an iPhone to send back to my service carrier (contract expired & getting an upgrade) a couple years ago, and the package never made it back to the service carrier; fortunately I got a receipt to prove the last stop was at this UPS store and didn't get stuck with a fine. Today I went to drop off a couple of Amazon returns, and the clerk told me they no longer accept those at this store. He told me I can pay $2 to print the shipping label and buy a box to ship it. That did not sound right. I was on my way to San Jose, so I stopped by a UPS store down there, and they accepted my Amazon returns with a smile on their face (even gave me their guest WiFi access), and as I was leaving, I saw that they had a computer for customers to use, and black and white prints were only $0.15 each! Avoid this store unless you have no other choice. read more

Rizza was very helpful! Came in to ship out a return and she helped out. Everything went perfect and my package is on the way!

This is my go to location for all ups related business. I love their new hours. They close a little later than most ups stores and are now open on Sunday's which is super helpful with all this online shopping going on nowadays. I always arrive a little late, a few minutes past their normal business hours and they still make the exception to take my packages even tho they could simply refuse. The new owners are very kind and pleasant to work with compared to the previous ones. Back at the start of 2020 when Covid was disrupting business as usual the previous owners stopped giving us receipts for our packages which caused huge issues whenever packages ended up missing or stolen so I stopped coming here but ever since the new management took over this place has been best ups store around. read more

This store took the time to stay open late just so we could finish a transaction sent to florida! Jay gagan and bharti were spectacular reps thanks guys!! read more

I am a big time clothing and shoe reseller, so the access to shipping is essential. I live in Alameda and I am always sure to come to this UPS location because each time I know I am going to be met with a friendly and proactive staff. Good work! Continued customer! read more

Only thing negative about the location is the parking- since it's in the same area as NobHill and SB- parking is challenging but overall store and service is great! I have a store closer in proximity but always go to this one (park further down by RT or WS) but service is quick, friendly staffs! Shout out to Rizza! Help me w my label reprint, repackage and got my confirmation and details quick! Need services, come visit and ask for Rizza! read more

I went in to return something and didn't have a physical return label. It was emailed to me and employee Rizza has great customer service! She was very kind helpful with instructions on how to forward the label so she can help print it out. She was also informative with all my questions! read more

I love this store! They are always very helpful and friendly. Rizza is the best! She's very friendly and informative, she helped me out and made sure i felt comfortable with my transaction. Today, Gagan helped me out and he was also very friendly and helpful. read more

Great service here because upon entering the store, I noticed that I was going to be the 3rd customer in line. After waiting for about 30 seconds, another employee opened up and the line moved even faster. Just in time because other people had joined my line pretty quick. And the line grew to over six. The gentleman was quick with a greeting and a smile. He also made good time with helping me. That's what I'm talking about! Going into a business where the employees quickly act upon their customer's needs! Thank you to the nice and efficient crew at this UPS Store! read more

I have to Say Allison is totally awesome she took Super Care of my packaging needs I received the Bestest of customer service I will be back.. read more

Although I typically do not have many mailing needs, I have found myself at this store twice in the past two weeks. Rizza helped me on both occasions and she was both pleasant and helpful each time. In sending a fax, which took a minute, she ensured that I did not lose my place in line and got me on my way quickly. On the second occasion, she helped save me a bit of money by prompting me to pick a more appropriately sized envelope. Thanks! read more

It used to be a great store when Ava ran the UPS store. For example, I got a couch shipped by accident to the store instead of my home. She did not expect it, of course, and Ava called me to let me know about it. We were able to divert the drop-off to the correct address. Today, I went to pick up my packages - 9 boxes - but was told by the owner that they came 2 days ago but which he refused to accept. So for whatever reason he had that day and for which he has not explained to me, his refusal to accept the boxes made me lose them. These are 20x20x20 boxes, and now they are missing! I am angry that this happened, and the worst part was that the owner did not contact me about the boxes at all. I had to find out the hard way - basically by being told that they've been refused 2 days later! read more

The UPS Store - The same boxes were delivered last week. - Printing Services Near Me - Alameda, California

There is a man in front desk with very bad service. When I dropped off, he strongly recommended their boxes for me to buy. Said my boxes were not good. When I dropped off again. He went inside, hang me out. Luckily another girl helped me. Very bad experience. read more
