I was there today to get some documents notarized and the lady that I was helping me she was really rude like really rude. I don't know her name because it was no Name or her name tag And lately, when I go to return my packages from Amazon, most of the ladies, there are really rude. I feel like they need to work more on their customer service and their attitudes. read more

if i can give zero review i would for sure do it. Today 12/31 I came in at 4:50 and they close at 5 PM. I was so glad I could able to catch the last minute mail. But the woman (the staff) saw me opened the door. She immediately closed the door and lock it. She yelled from inside the store "no more" and told me to leave. what the heck! That was still 10 minutes left before the closing time. She was so rude. I hope UPS could watch out their staff's attitude. Your customer don't deserve to be yelled at for no reason. read more

I come here often for the convenience. Except for the woman with the red hair and the man with the ponytail, the rest of the employees are slow moving, unhappy, and rude. If you're looking to use this location with no interaction with the employees, you're fine. However, if you are seeking helpful, respectful, efficient service, you may want to go to another location. read more

They actually argue with you when you say you don't want or need a receipt for a prepaid mailer. It is usually better to go somewhere else just to avoid the stupid arguement. read more

I have only been to this location once to return an item to Amazon. We were greeted immediately on entering and the item was checked in and we had our receipt in no time at all. The store was also very clean and welcoming. read more

The Notary lady has a nasty attitude. Not very professional. Clearly needs to improve her customer service skills!

For years I dropped off my Amazon packages exclusively at the downtown Hayward UPS, but I started coming here recently (every once in a while - I am still dropping off at Hayward location as well) to do it instead because the location is more convenient for me. Half of the time when I drop off packages here, Amazon ends up charging me again because the package never makes it to the final destination. I have NEVER had this problem at the Downtown Hayward location. Downtown Hayward UPS - years of dropping off, 0 issues Castro Valley UPS - a few months of dropping off, 4 issues And yes, the workers at this location do give you the side eye when you drop things off. read more

I go to this location only out of convenience. The customer service has always been consistently horrible. But today's visit topped it all. I went to get a document notarized. With no one in the store, I was instructed to wait by a counter. 10 mins later a lady that was standing around in the back doing nothing comes out. She gives me a dirty look and slowly proceeds to a desk. Another 5 mins have passed before she summons be over to her. After a couple of rude and condescending questions I was disgusted that the store manager can behave like this. Lead by example right? Now it makes sense why customer service is so shitty. read more

Not how customer service should be. Another gentleman and I got to the store a couple minutes to 630pm. Door was already locked with customers inside. 2 other associates were free but would not even come to the door to acknowledge us. Only needed to check PO box. read more

Nothing bad to say about this UPS Store location. Came here a few times mainly for shipping items out. Staff was easy and pleasant to communicate with. Shop's merchandising looked organized. There are times where you'll walk in with no one in front of you and other times when you might be waiting a little to be helped next. Parking is never an issue as its located in a shopping center that has a large parking lot. read more

I love the staff here! I have been helped by all of them at one time or another. They are so patient with me because I am frequently an airhead. Kaiser is my favorite. I highly recommend this UPS store for efficiency & friendly, helpful staff. read more

This store is the worst. They lady charged me $17 on a box which I was just mail a return item. The lady was taking slow and looked bored and lazy for this job. This is the second I had bad service. I will never come back here again. read more

I love this store, it's location, and it's staff. I empathize with how much crap they must have to deal with everyday so go in with patience and a smile and somehow I always get what I need done. The manager (Rita) is the sweetest mean person ever read that again! read more

Rita was helpful and pleasant to all the customers even with it being packed and working past closing hours. She was professional and I appreciated her patience with those of us that had multiple returns. read more

I'm too cheap to buy laser ink, but I needed to print a few documents. With other errands, I found this store on Yelp. A nice woman helped me out I don't like to use my credit card, but I was able to pay in cash. Armed with my jump drive, I was able to complete all my printing needs. It's $3 minimum for computer use and $0.25 per page. I guess I'll go buy the ink for my computer. read more

Great staff even when people are snooty to them. However it kinda bugs me that their slogan is: big or small packages, we will help you package them" then I go there and they don't have the packing materials they need so now I have to buy my own box from Amazon and be a late delivery. read more

worst Customer Service ever! I already purchased shipping label and just need to drop off package as usual like every other store .but I came to this UPS store because it was closer to where I was at . They told me I had to wait in this long line but I already explained that we purchased a label and just need to drop off package she was definitely rude, crappy attitude. They all look like they don't want to work there.!!!! read more

I needed to send an international package and a box to ship it in. I appreciated the service I received from Rita, the person who helped me. I am handicapped, and she was kind enough to get me a chair and supply me with everything I needed to mail this package properly. The prices were very reasonable, and I will definitely use this store again very nice service. read more

I have done business with this store for several years, always look for Shanya. Super helpful, knowledgeable and extremely nice. This is a very busy store, but Shanya always greets you with a smile. Would recommend. read more

I continually receive a dose of attitude each time I'm in this store. It's worth it to me to go to a different location.

Went to this store to send my package. Cora helped me with a smile and great customer service. Quick and easy.Thank you. I'll be returning for future service. read more

DO NOT use this or any other UPS locations for your NOTARY needs. Apparently, the forms they are using are rejected by the Sacramento apostil office. I paid $90 to notarize some documents, drove to Sacramento, stayed in line for 30 minutes, only to be told that forms are not valid by their standards, so I had to leave the office, find local notary service to notarize my documents with proper forms, come back, wait in line again and finally apostille my documents, and I was given a formal rejection letter by the apostle office to get a refund from the UPS. To my attempt to get a refund with a receipt and all, I was denied, the UPS store manager in Castro Valley, refused the refund, and printed out a completely different even from their store form to prove it's legit, and claimed the representatives in the apostille office in Sacramento are wrong and are trying to scam people. I kid you not. read more

Kai needs a raise. Employee of the year. He's one of the most friendly helpful people I've ever encountered. I dread going there so it's great to experience such customer service when he's working there it's not so dreadful :) The negative reviews may be true I just read some and hate to say I agree but their probably not about Kai no matter how busy they are I've never see him give anyone a bad attitude. read more

There is no more smiles since they changed employees. Rude and dismissive. Dropped off a package. The female employee looked at me and asked me what it was. I told her it was wallpaper. She said I needed a special package for it not just wrapped with plastic. She pointed at the "special package" at their store. It was obvious that she wanted me to buy their special package or she wouldn't accept it. Excuse me, I received the item the same way through the UPS. I didn't have time to argue and just left. I miss those warm and helpful employees. read more

I've been a client of the UPS Store for years. Attempted to drop off a package this morning, but would not accept a properly labeled USPS package. Counter staff was rude and dismissive. I have dropped packages here for years - no more. read more

Employee named: Lucky is the man. He is knowledgeable and very courteous. He made very good and valuable suggestions about making sure my package gets to its destination safely. Thank you so much, Lucky! I live 5min away, I will be coming here alot now. read more

This store and it's workers are just horrible. Not helpful. Serious attitudes, every time I have been there. Get rid of the terrible workers, get better reviews and more business!! read more

I am like 4 minutes from this store. But they are always so rude. I go other end of Castro Valley not to have to deal with the rude women there. Unfortunately..Some Amazon stuff has to go thru them. Last experience..had 3 Amazon packages. Ready to go ..had put in "tote bag"..odd sizes to carry. WAIT my turn ..put tote right next to "scale"..got eye roll.

today i went to UPS in Castro Valley store. I tried to return two Amazon packages without a print label. A UPS worker Tina Eddens helped me a lot. she provided the best customer service, kindness, patience and tried her best to help me to resolve my problem and I was able to return back during her busy time and under stress. thank you so much Tina. read more

I frequent this location pretty regularly and I've never had an issue. I've done Amazon returns here and have sent multiple packages using prepaid shipping labels. Even when there is a long line I'm in and out pretty quickly. It goes fast if you go in prepared. I read a lot of reviews saying the staff isn't friendly but I don't agree. They don't go above and beyond but I also don't expect/need them to be. They're friendly enough and more importantly I need them to be quick and efficient which they are. It's a fast paced business with a lot of customers at times and I appreciate how quick they are. I'll continue to come here because it's convenient and gets the job done. And as a red headed minority I haven't experienced any discrimination here. I do have a soul and they treat me as such. read more

I give them a -10 by far the WORSE customer service! The two employees there today 3/7/23 who closed. I work in the retail area for over 11years and the way they treated people there was unacceptable. read more

Notary present. Quick sign notarize and paid. Lots of parking and this location is generally well staffed.

Sodana & Kimberly were amazing! Great teamwork on their part. I came into the store in the early evening needing a last minute run of business cards for an international colleague who forgot to pack business cards. The only glitch.. I had ONE hard copy to work with. Sodana warned me this type of job could take a couple of days. However, due to my deadline, she was able to squeeze it in between faxing, etc. She masterfully scanned, tiled and printed a few sheets on card stock. She matched the original so well that the copies were more legible than the original. THANK You, UPS on Redwood in Oakland. You saved me once again!! *****5stars+ read more

This is the most rudest ups store ever! I seriously can't believe how rude they are and how Castro valley, a nice family oriented city, allow the worker to treat us like we're nothing. The min you walk in, they are already look miserable. No greeting no nothing. They just stare at you as if they are bothered by you for coming in. I tried calling ups to complain about them, but they give me the run around how this is a franchise store and blah blah! The girl with the braid are the worst of them all, she give me attitude when I didn't have a box return for my Amazon item. Like okayyy.. I didn't know! Honestly, they all need a chill pill, I feel bad for the nice gentlemen that works there, I see him being patience with everyone. I seriously don't understand why the hell they working here. It's like they are on attack mode, haha man, I hope they send some help with this store. They ruining the Castro valley reputation! Ladies, get your act right, castro valley don't need ya, I rather drive out further to get some great customer service. read more

DON'T GIVE THIS FRANCHISE ANY BUSINESS. I am an African American woman, also a 21-year, 100% disabled Army Veteran, who experienced racism from Erika Zozula, an employee of this UPS store. I had a shipping label printed here and Erika charged me $5 to print ONE PAGE! She seemed angry with my presence stating that she had "heard things" about me. I have NEVER even seen this woman before! She was annoyed at having to wait on me and charging me $5 to print one page was her way of getting back at me. I will never return to this store or other UPS Store franchises that this owner controls. read more

Staff here is not friendly or consistent. Needed a small strip of tape to seal a box before shipping and they wanted to charge for it. I went somewhere else to ship instead. read more

So slow and rude. Every time. I come in here a lot for Amazon returns and it's close to my home. However, I am going to start driving to San Ramon location because they are way more efficient and friendly. read more

I understand she might have had a had a bad day but there is no excuses this is a business that is losing customers because of associates attitude...

I went to drop off a Verizon phone. They couldn't figure out how the qr code worked, told me to wait for the manager. I left once I figured out that wouldn't be anytime soon. Unacceptable. That should be totally routine. read more

I came in to get 2 documents notarized and was told by Reta that she was going on a break. I asked her if I could wait there and she said rudely to me, that is up to you. When she returned she continued to be rude and not helpful. apparently she doesn't like her job. I read others having the same problem getting documents notarized at this site. if you need something notarized, don't come here. if i was able to give this UPS Store a negative star rating I would. Terrible customer service. read more
