Rude, unhelpful, and unprofessional. The owner of this store is extremely rude - he claimed to not have a package that was delivered to his store, then returned it to sender an hour later. He was entirely unwilling to help me and became frustrated and abrasive when I asked for more details. Very unprofessional. read more

The owner of this franchise is rude and he should be nice to people who come there for his overpriced service $5.50 to print a label. He yells at customers on the phone and yelled at me after I told him he was charging too much for printing a label. He should be thanking me for agreeing to pay his $5.25 upcharge to print a label. Horrible miserable Asian man who doesn't understand customer service. read more

Took package to UPS on Saturday 3/28. Wanted overnight delivery from Baltimore MD to Rehoboth Beach DE (2.5 hours away) They said soonest delivery on Monday 3/30 by 5pm. I paid extra to have package delivered (total charge was $53.82). Package was not delivered until Tuesday at 11:30am. I called UPS directly and was referred to the individual store #1162. Store refused credit for the difference saying it's not "guaranteed" by delivery date/time. That's what I paid for! I wouldn't have paid extra if I didn't need it sooner! Both UPS and the store refused to issue a credit for the difference, probably $10-15 difference. Terrible customer service, I had to search for a phone number as it isn't listed in the app. Also the first person I spoke to didn't understand American English so I had to repeat several times and she still got it wrong, thought I hadn't received package when I told her several times I had and I was just seeking a price adjustment for the delay. Very frustrating experience, cost me about an hour or more for no satisfaction. read more

Terrible service, the elderly man who waited on me was quite rude. He took my package and threw it behind the counter with an attitude. Weeks later I called Amazon to find out about my return, glad I had my receipt because they never received the item but gave me the credit instead. My rating for this store is -* read more

Employee had customer on the phone. Customer providing all her personal information. Employee had her on speakerphone, for all of us to hear. Loud and clear, customer's full name, their full 16 digit credit card number, expiration date and security number on the back of their card. How in 2022 can a business be so irresponsible!? I needed to notarize a document, was told $7. Upon paying I was charged an additional $4 because they asked me to send the document to their email address. It's upsetting but if anybody's reading this please go elsewhere, or you run the risk of getting your identity stolen, plus they'll come up with hidden charges "just because" they can. I live 4 blocks away, will never set foot at this location again. read more

Be careful going here, they will rip you off big time. They do not follow proper procedures. It is not legal in the state of Maryland, ACCORDING TO STATE NOTARY PUBLIC GUIDELINES for a Notary public to charge more than $4 per signature. The notary charged me $7 for his signature, his single, ONE Signature. Upon after I informed him, that in the state of Maryland, notary publics cannot charge more than $4 for a single signature. He simply said nothing and did nothing but ask for the $7. Is it so hard to keep up to date with standards? I Needed to ship out the original document, but he told me it was o k to ship it out in a yellow paper envelope, now If I was a normal customer, sure I'd believe him. But I work at 2 different UPS locations, and we NEVER ship papers or important documents in yellow paper envelopes, because they get SHREDDED on the conveyor belts. I told him no, and I paid for express delivery to get the free express envelope that is sealed and approved for conveyor belts. This employee (potentially the owner) doesn't care about state laws or UPS Shipping policies. DO NOT trust what they say! Good UPS stores wouldn't let you ship paper in a yellow paper envelope, and their notaries actually understand the way being a notary public works. read more

This UPS is THE WORST I have Ever Dealt with. The service was Terrible, and the gentleman at the counter was very unprofessional as well as his manager. They wanted to charge me $2.50 to tape my return label that was coming off my package and when I refused to pay, they refuse to take my package. read more

I am truly disheartened by reading Google reviews about store 1162 and furthermore realizing that my experience with this particular UPS store was negative as well. On Wednesday, August 24th, 2022 at approximately 5PM, I arrived to this location for an UPS store to store pickup. I am a healthcare traveler, so this is the easiest route for my loved ones to send me packages. This particular package was extremely valuable. Upon being asked if I needed assistance, I explained that I was indeed there for a pickup, stated my full name, and provided identification. Supposedly, my name was typed into the system and there was no record found. I easily stated that I had my tracking number already pulled up to easily assist with this. That statement was not responded to, but I was then asked if I had a mailbox at the location, to which I replied no. He proceeds to turn around to counter behind him, shift some packages around and state that my package couldn't not have made it. I repeated once again that my I had my tracking information available, that it was delivered at 11:36AM and proof of delivery had been provided stating that it was signed by Yang. Mr. Yang of course, happens to be who is providing me assistance. He proceeds to tell me that some packages were just dropped off by the truck that we both just saw leave, in which my response is a repeat of the time and name for proof of delivery. At this time, he walks to the back area for literally less than a minute, returns, and tells me my package is not there. Although I am still standing in front of him, he loudly states "next customer". He is then rude to the next black female that is a paying mailbox customer and asking for verification for her packages. He beckons next customer before she is finished as well. An Asian couple approaches next, to whom he kindly provides ample time, assistance with printing a label, packaging, and appropriate information for shipment. He NEVER returns to look my way or address my presence. By this time, a black employee (my apologies for not getting this wonderful gentleman's name) is assisting another customer, but is able to notice my frustration. He asks my first name, smiles, and states that he's sure he saw a package with that name. I'm on the phone with the sender of the package to identify the exterior of the package to easier locate my package. As soon as this employee finishes with this customer (helping her with 10+ Amazon returns with patience by the way), he smiles and asks me to approach, finds my package within 1 minute, smiles and wishes me a wonderful evening. In my particular situation, I sense plenty of racial bias! However looking at reviews, I'm able to recognize that while this seems to be the majority, he treats many of different customers with different backgrounds with this same attitude. To find out that he is the business owner at least 8 years and that this is still continuing is ridiculous, sad, and disgraceful. I'd advise POC to please not give their service in a business where we are clearly not welcome. For any customer, Mr. Yang clearly tells others in review responses that there are 40+ other locations nearby, please choose another. I hope this matter can be investigated, escalated, or settled. This does not seem to be a single incident and should be addressed of behalf of UPS Stores' image. read more

Convenient and safe. The staff is super helpful and friendly and they are very helpful with amazon return instructions. They also offer post office services and notary public service. The store is an easy walking distance in the inner harbor from many parking garages. read more

On March 27, a package was delivered. On April 4, the package was not there. Mr. Yang was asked to check & confirm, he dismissed the request. I called The UPS Store, no answer, however using another number, The UPS Store answered. Mr. Yang confirmed that package is there. I'd just left less than 10 minutes before. I finally retrieved the package days later, when I inquired about renewal. Mr Yang dismissed me & said not yet. At this time, I have important federal mail en route. I asked Mr. Yang to simply call when it arrived so that I'm not wasting time running back & forth. I never heard from Mr. Yang, so I had to run down to the store every day to check for myself. On Wednesday, April 10, 2024. I entered the store to check on the mail again. Mr. Yang, looked in the mailbox, "No, mail!" Then he approached me, "Your, your daughter? She's [my first name], right? I explain that's my name. Mr. Yang dismissed me & still misnamed me. "Your renewal is coming up! She complain too much!" I tried showing Mr. Yang that I received a package on March 27 that was not there on April 4, when my daughter arrived, but he's steadily threatening me about refusal of service due to filing a BBB Complaint. Once he realized that I was right, he apologized and then walked away from me without answering my next questions, moving onto the next customer. I left feeling attacked, he was retaliating against me for filing a BBB Complaint. I have a federal mail sitting at The UPS Store, that I am scared to retrieve because Mr. Yang's behavior towards me. I called UPS HQ, who confirmed that each UPS Store is an independent franchise, therefore Mr. Yang has the authority and power to refuse service, as he pleases. After reading the reviews, it's evident majority of the poor reviews are from minorities. I get it now, I will be taking my service elsewhere. This was on top of losing a package December 19 (BBB Complaint). I could not be refunded for the aquatic plants due to the delivered status. read more

DO NOT USE THIS UPS AS A PICKUP. They charged me $30 just to hold my package for a couple of hours!! That's more than the package itself! I was the only one in there and it took them 20 minutes to even find it because it wasn't on the "receiving list" and they took another 10 minutes to charge my card since their machine wasn't working. $30 just to pickup a package from basically the delivery drivers hands. PASS. read more

I recently had a terrible interaction at this ups. I came to print out 2 sheets , which cost me $7. I told the asian old guy that one paper was missing , and instead of saying " let me check " or " I'm sorry" HE GAVE ME ATTITUDE! and told me that i am in the wrong. That boiled my blood so hard as someone who's a former ups employee and I would NEVER treat a customer like that. Ups franchise is getting worse and y'all charge for every little thing. I feel like y'all's prices and quality never match. If you can avoid going here please do . read more

Beware the shakedown! $$$ mysterious and expensive fees galore. We had our own pre- printed airbills and needed the UPS envelopes to send out items. Told $4.50 service fee. Huh? Gentleman customer behind us needed to fax. He was told a $4.50 service fee. What? Ching Ching. So it went. How lucrative. We asked the UPS guy: "fees for the envelopes?" No, a service fee. Uh, okay. This service feels like extortion. The receipt stated " misc"?! That's one way to put it. Highway robbery to pay this crazy so-called service fee for what's needed to complete our business. Not cool. Greed at its best. Not sure this is legit. Buyer beware. Note: We had "prepaid" labels for our mailing and when we asked for an envelope we were charged the money! Our shipping fees were already paid for but of course our business cannot be done without an envelope. That's the problem here. The franchisee should double check if they're supposed to charge us for supplies or just make up another item for the charge. read more

Poor service. If I could leave zero stars I would. Owner was rude and nasty. Charged me over $50 to retrieve my packages when I already paid for it to be shipped from store to store. read more

This UPS franchise was an all around disappointing experience. I will unfortunately never use them again. The store manager at store 1162 on Lombard St was not the least bit helpful and overcharged me to pick up my packages that I'd ordered from a third party retailer. These packages contained Christmas gifts for a giving tree program, all to be donated to children in Central America. Every dollar spent on administrative costs is less money for gifts to the children. When I arrived to UPS to pick up my packages and was told I would be charged $20 per box for the 10 boxes, I was shocked. These packages were shipped from the retailer through "UPS Access Point" shipping, meaning they go directly to a UPS store so as to avoid them being left at my house unattended. I pick them up directly from UPS. However, in this case, store 1162's policy was to charge an additional, hidden fee. I spoke to UPS corporate and they assured me this was a store policy and they had discretion to help me. However, the store manager was not the least bit nice or sympathetic. He claimed that the third party retailee did not check the box "UPS access point" when they processed the order. Thus the Order was sent to their store but it didn't say "UPS Access Point". So, he insisted I must pay, despite that it cost the store no extra money to receive my packages. They gladly took my money and didn't think twice. It's really too bad in these hard times coming out of COVID people can't be more understanding, especially when someone is trying to do good. Shame on you UPS. read more

Terrible. They charge for everything here. Just do yourself a favor and go to another location. Lady with the braids was polite but how is it that I go to the Hanover UPS location, print my label for free, then drop off a few papers all in one envelope for no charge, but I come here and pay to print $4.50 and pay for an envelope. Go to another location. read more

My expensive package was lost with no recourse. This store promised to file two different lost package claims and later collected a refund from UPS corporate, but never passed it on to me. Two months of paperwork and calls with no result. read more

BS fees at every turn. This place is a total scam shop! Tried charging all kinds of fees including a $2 fee to tape a label on a box. Shameful practices! read more

I'll chime in with everyone else. The guy that works here is super rude. He tried to take my overseas package away to ship it before I was done labeling it. I showed him the shipping instructions on my phone, to which he said "I don't care about that." Definitely looking forward to seeing his remark of self-defense to this review. Get a clue dude. The bad reviews will keep pouring in if you keep up your attitude. There's no point in bothering anymore. read more

From my phone call to my visit: Paul answered the phone promptly, politely, and with enthusiasm. He was efficient with great customer service when I visited to get a document notarized. He was juggling 4 customers at once. I was in and out in a timely manner! read more

This store is very convenient I do my amazon returns and shipping. There is a new black woman worked there on 7/1/20 seems experienced but she is not trustworthy. I was talking to her to get assurance on packages and all she does is look my personal things and is rude as hell. Feel extremely uncomfortable today do not want to deal with her again. PLEASE FIRE HER. read more

I come to this location due to the convenience to my office, but I have had some strange experiences. Several times when I have gone in, an employee has charged me a $1 processing fee for shipping a postage-paid box. This has happened on a couple of random occasions. I asked the owner about it one day, and while there is a little language barrier, what I ascertained was that there should not be a charge. Hmmm. Shady. read more

Brought in a prepaid package that only needed a box. It was a large item - I was first quoted at $52 for packaging. After trying to fathom how a box would cost that much, I was requoted at $41. The employee said that they would not let me assemble the box myself, and it required an hour worth of packaging time: that was why the price was so high. Please keep in mind, this item was a microwave, not a surfboard or Monet. Ridiculous. Take 5 minutes and go to the Fort Ave location where the employees will take care of customers, not gouge them. read more

I wish I could give a 0 STAR REVIEW as well. The guy who owns this location, I don't even know where to begin. The epitome of rude that's for sure!!! Cheap as all get out, he wouldn't even give me tape when I requested some he told me I didn't need it that's how cheap he is. Mr. Penny pincher for real. When I ask questions he shakes his head and rolls his eyes like I bother him. At first I thought it was just me but I see he just wakes up with a bad attitude in which most of his customers experience. He was super nice to the large men who came in but not ever to me. This was certainly my last time at this location!!! I don't know what it is but in this climate I just think he doesn't care for women or maybe just me as a black woman. Not sure how he's made it in business this long. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND RUN FROM THIS LOCATION!!!I will post this everywhere, he owes his customers an apology and he needs customer service training badly. Shame on you sir!! read more

For context, I have never voluntarily written a review of anything in my life until today. I went here to ship a small package (shoes) and they charged me about 7.50 $ just for a small cardboard box to put my shoes in. Although very pricey for a simple box you could literally get for a couple cents anywhere else, I wasn't bothered by the exorbitant price as I suppose it was my fault for not brining a box to ship my items in. Then, the employee tried to charge me 2$ to use their tape (which is absolutely ridiculous in the first place as almost any other UPS, Fedex, or USPS will provide courtesy tape.) Fortunately, I brought my own tape so wasn't robbed of 2 dollars there. The employee helps me assemble and tape the box I just paid 7.50$ for. As I am ready to pay, the store owner comes over and tells the employee that she needs to be charging me more. He adds a 3$ service fee which he doesn't explain to me. I ask the employee why there is a 3$ service fee on top of the 7.50$ I am paying for the box and she doesn't have an answer. The store owner then has the audacity to tell me that using the store's tape is 2$ but having an employee tape something for you is 3$. Thats right, 3$ if an employee sticks a piece of tape on whatever box you are trying to ship. Thankfully, I successfully argue that the employee held the box and I applied all of the tape with my own two hands. The employee backs me up on this so the manager/owner drops the extra 3 dollars. Overall, it is extremely clear that the staff at this store is not the issue, but rather the owner of this UPS franchise is a horrible person. All he cares about is squeezing as much money out of you as possible by charging exorbitant, ridiculous hidden fees for services any rational, customer-friendly store would provide for free. I will never be going to this UPS store again even if it means driving well out of my way to another UPS location. If I could give this store a lower rating than 1, I definitely would!!! read more

Because my drop offs usually have gone without any problems, I'll give this store a star. But today was the worse kind of customer service I've seen yet since moving to Baltimore recently. I searched online for a notary for a very important document. This store, nearest to me, provided notary service and I could make an appointment. I did. I arrived 20 minutes early. Two young women behind the counter. One responds to my mention that I was early for an 11:30am appt. She tells me the notary person stepped out and will be back in 15 mins. I said, ok, I'll come back. I come back at 11:26am, she says he's still not back. I ask if they can text him that his appt is here. She says she can't because he's on a personal errand. I asked again, reminding her I have an appt and that I'm here on business. The other woman then tells me that they don't take appts and that this person won't be back until 12:30! So why did the other woman say he'll be back in 15 mins, I asked. She says "well, she didn't know." But you were standing right next to her when the original convo happened and you said nothing. I walked out. Totally unprofessional. I will never return to the UPS store on E Pratt again. read more

One star for this location is 10 too many. Sketchy owner/ manager or whoever he is charged me 3 times what it cost on his own website and in any of the 3 dozen UPS stores in 15 different States I have visited over the past 3 years for some color 11 by 17 prints ON THE WRONG PAPER. Then charged me 4 dollars for 7 minutes of computer time on a machine not connected to the correct printer. Incompetent, rude, and Blatantly Obviously a scam artist. How is this store still affiliated with UPS? Update 4/1/2018 Adding insult to injury someone from The worst UPS location I have ever been to spent time writing an answer to my review. Not fixing their shady business practices, not making sure their computer is in proper communication with their printer, not making sure they have everything it stock they their website says they are supposed to have. Not only that they either completely made up their version of my visit to their store or confused me with someone else. They have nothing but 1 star reviews and a few obviously faked better ones. I don't think I really need to add anything further. But I really do hope that whomever is in charge of the UPS franchise program does something about this dumpster fire of a store soon. read more

Don't go there period! Worst customer service! They even charged you for a piece of tape!

This place needs to be shut down due to the unprofessionalism of the manager and staff. Worse customer service I have ever experienced in my life and I wouldn't recommend anyone to do business with them. The staff is so unenthused and the manager could care less about the customer. The manager also blasts your personal information out to everyone while he talks to you on speaker phone in the front of the store. They don't offer apologies when they are wrong which means they don't care about people continuing to do business with them. Do yourselves a favor people and don't bother with this location and tell everyone you know. They don't need to make any money to pay their rent. They then will be forced to close. IGNORAMUSES!!!! read more

The employees at this store are rarely friendly, I sort of dread going in there. Asking for anything is clearly an imposition and I've also been charged for a 6" piece of tape. Because they are franchises, I wonder if the owner is a terrible boss and that is the cause of the atmosphere? Currently they are the only game in town. If that ever changes, I wouldn't go there again. read more

If I could give this store a negative star, I would. In fact, it's impossible to quantify the level of horrible waiting for you just inside the doors. Maybe just paint a huge red "X" on the door and call it day. I went in today to send some very important financial documents - the title company provided me with a pre-printed shipping label. Should be a breeze right, just grab an envelope, shove the paperwork in said envelope, and go, right? Wrong. I ask the "gentleman" behind the counter for an envelope and show him that I have a pre-printed label. He gets the envelope, picks up my documents and prepares the envelope for shipping. "Thank you" says I. Mr. Personality then requests one dollar. Huh? "I have a preprinted label, it's already paid for..." I say. He tells me that the dollar is for handling. Handling? Yes, the dollar is what he charges to put the documents in the envelope and affix the label onto the front. Seriously. I tell him (calmly) that I didn't ask him to do that, so I don't understand why I should pay. he proceeds to get louder and louder telling me that I owe the dollar for handling and that's just the way it is...and then proceeds to rip open my envelope saying "fine...get out." At no point was I loud or rude...I simply asked a question and questioned a charge. This nutter then picks up the phone and calls the cops to report that he's being harassed and needs assistance! Seriously. I left of course - and full disclosure I DID call him an asshole on the way out. I ended up going to the UPS store at the Hilton on Eutaw. I told them about the other store and they told me that my experience was very common and they get complaints about him all the time. AVOID! read more

The only good review of this establishment is from 2014, and for good reason. Worst customer service I've ever experienced; I was literally told by an associate "get the f*** out of my store before I get mad." read more

I had a bad experience at this store on November 19, 2014. I took a birthday gift (less than a pound in weight) that I wanted to mail to California and asked how much it cost to ship it in two days, and was told it was more than $150! I asked how much it was to send it without any rush and was told it cost $15 and it would take a week. When I told the employee I would be going to the USPS and reached for the package, she stopped me to caution that the USPS cannot guarantee that they will deliver the package, cannot tell me when it will arrive, and cannot insure it. I was surprised because all of these are 100% false. I am posting because I was caught off guard by both the exorbitant cost and the employee's blatant lies about their competitor. By the way, USPS charged less than $12 to have it there on Friday. read more

They supposedly do not accept drop offs when you have the receivers ups account number. I don't understand the point of being a ups store if you can't process a simple ups shipment. Very inconvenient for a local business owner. read more

There aren't many businesses you can turn to for sending and receiving packages - there's UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL - so it almost doesn't matter that I was unsatisfied with this UPS Store. Still, if you can help it, you should avoid this store. Last week, anticipating a package, I called the UPS Store on Lombard to ask what the protocol was for receiving a package. How much did it cost? Would they give a call once it arrived? I was told there was a fee for receiving and an additional fee for every night they held the package. I was also told that if the package had the word "Hold for pick-up" and a phone number, that they would call me when it arrived. I repeated the instructions back to the UPS Store: "So, if the person delivering the package to me writes 'Hold for pickup' and puts my phone number on the package, you'll give me a call the day it arrives?" "Yes," he replied. That's what the sender did. He wrote "hold for pickup" clearly on the package and put my phone number there. I called the UPS Store today, just to be sure and wanting to avoid the holding fee, if my package had arrived. "Yes," he said. "Did it arrive today?" "Yes." I picked it up, and was told then that it had arrived yesterday. YESTERDAY. I was also told I had to pay the hold fee, even though I hadn't been called. The person, who I assume is the manager (and, unfortunately enough, not the person I'd spoken on the phone with) said it was my fault the package was held overnight. "YOU call. You're supposed to call." I told him that I was told by an employee of this very store that if the package bore the words "hold for pickup" that I would be the one receiving a phone call. I pointed out the words on my package that said "hold for pickup", followed by a phone number. He said, "How are we supposed to know to call you? You call if you want to pick up your package." I repeated my claim using different words (maybe he didn't get it the first time). I asked him at least to acknowledge that it wasn't my fault that I got bad information from an employee. He responded, "We can't know to call. You call." More back and forth like this escalated to the point where I was almost shouting, "I was TOLD you'd call! I double-checked! There are instructions on the package to call which I wouldn't have even bothered with if someone at YOUR store didn't give me said instructions." He wouldn't do that. I don't blame him for saying "I don't want to talk to you anymore," because I was clearly upset, but I didn't start out being upset. He didn't hear me, wouldn't listen, wouldn't acknowledge that one of his employees gave me bad information. Nothing. His ears worked about as well as those of corn. I did feel bad for the other employee who was there. He had to witness this shouting match and was very sympathetic about it. Pick up your packages somewhere else. read more

The worst. I submitted 4 jobs to be printed. Two were done completely wrong (despite exact specifications). Fine, people make mistakes. Because I didn't have time for them to reprint the material, I asked a refund (nearly $200). It has now been 3 weeks and I still have not been refunded, despite 5 phone conversations with these people. Apparently, only one person at the store can do refunds, and this person is never at work. Plus, while they acknowledge I will be refunded the money, they cannot tell me for how much - it appears that it is at their discretion despite me telling them the exact dollar amount I was charged for the 2 bad print jobs. If I don't get a refund within the next few days, I'm filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Go somewhere else. read more

This store is a rip off. I came in with a pre-paid shipping label and they wanted to scam me out of money per envelope to place their own shipping label on.
