"What can brown do for you?" UPS can be your notary public. I recently needed a notary on a Saturday afternoon and UPS was the answer. Not all businesses have notaries on weekends, so this was not the easiest to accomplish. The colors for UPS don't stand out amid everything trying to get your attention in the City, so watch out for the store front. The folks there were very busy handling packages of every size, but the notary came from a desk in the back to handle my documents. I would not call this friendly service. She's all business and stamped and signed the documents in short order. Thank You Ms. Three and a half stars read more

if i could give this locatik. negative stars I would. every single time I go in its a different problem - you can't have a dog in here, this isn't packaged right, you can't bring your bike inside, this isn't taped properly it's 5$ to use the tape - are you serious? the dog is a service animal, this doesn't need a box or package it's an Amazon return, it's not in the way and the sooner you take these packages the quicker it will be gone and fuck you im not spending 5$ on tape it's closed up and if it opens in transit then so be it! fuck these people every time I go there they are starting shit with me! FUCK UPS read more

Do NOT USE THEIR SERVICE! I'm sharing my experience as it happened. I was asked to pay a $9.99 fee in cash, even though my return should have been covered by the company. After I questioned this, I was told it was a "joke." My sealed package was then opened without my permission, and I was told it could not be accepted due to size. Regardless of their explanation, this interaction felt unprofessional and confusing. I believe situations like this should be handled more clearly and transparently read more

The UPS Store - Badge - Shipping Centers Near Me - New York, New York

KAY NEEDS TO BE FIRED! I just came from this UPS location and today was the first time I've experienced blatant disrespect. I brought several packages to be returned to Amazon and I politely asked him if one of the boxed items could be returned as is or does it need different packaging. He responded in the most unprofessional manner by telling me, 'If I didn't tell you it didn't then why ask'. He clearly hates his job and it not suited for this role. I'm now reading the reviews on this location and most of them are horrible. So clearly they're able to get away with this poor behavior because no one is holding them accountable. read more

Horrible. From the moment I walked in I knew it wasn't going to be a good experience. Boxes pilled everywhere and the person working was discussing personal matters on the phone. I gave him a moment because i didnt want to interrupt. When he acknowledged me it was with attitude and every question I had was responded with more attitude. Not helpful at all. What a bad experience. read more

This location is much closer to me which is convenient, however I find myself walking 1+ miles to the next location to get great customer service. When I walked in this morning 2/21 I was greeted by a very pleasant young man who begin to assist me with my shipping needs, and then came the female who's usually the downfall to customer service to ruin the experience. She literally took over the transaction asking questions this young man has already successfully captured. She's always so aggressive in tone with a condescending delivery. I don't know how she calculates the prices but it's crazy how I walk to the next ups location and the shipping price is always less. I keeping revisiting this locating hoping the experience would change but I as long as she's the person delivering the customer service it's a hopeless experience. read more

I would not recommend this location. The staff consistently comes across as rude and unprofessional. Basic courtesy goes a long way -- no one is expecting over-the-top friendliness, but being polite and respectful should be the bare minimum, especially when customers are choosing to spend their hard-earned money here. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time I've experienced this kind of behavior at this location, and for that reason, I won't be returning. read more

Today's experience in the UPS store was the worst that I ever experienced. Kay was the worker on duty. He was combative in his conversation, hostile, defensive, and provided the poorest customer service that I ever experienced. I purchased a box and I wanted to see if I could transfer items from 2 boxes into one and he stated " you are making things difficult.". I guess this is the best quality of staff that can be employed at UPS. read more

My go to place to ship packages. I've visited at multiple different times and have never had to wait longer than five minutes. The workers are nice, helpful and straight to the point. I even double park in front without worries because it's such an easy and quick transaction. This is one of my favorite ups stores in the city. read more

He Respond Thats Fine And Shrugs. read more

if I could give negative stars I would. I had an extremely disappointing and unacceptable experience at this UPS Store while returning an Amazon package. I arrived around 8:15 AM and saw a woman inside opening the store. She didn't acknowledge me at all. When she finally opened the door, she told me to "back up" so she could put items outside. Her tone was rude and dismissive. I didn't understand her at first, and when she placed the welcome mat down, she dropped it directly in front of my feet. As she brought out additional materials, she looked at me and said, "You want me to drop it on your foot?"--completely unprofessional and unnecessary. Once I entered the store, she asked if my package was sealed. I realized it needed more tape, so I told her I had a barcode and went to my car to grab some tape. While I was taping the box outside, another customer came in but quickly left. That in itself says a lot. Trying to be kind despite the rude welcome, I re-entered the store and asked her how her day was going and if she was feeling okay. She completely ignored me. I then asked who her manager was, and she replied, "I don't have one." When I asked if she was the manager, she said, "No, I just work here." At this point, I felt compelled to address her attitude and asked why she was being so nasty. Her response? "Don't waste your breath on me. Don't waste your energy on me." I was stunned. She then printed the label, slapped it on the package, and dropped it carelessly on the floor--without asking if the contents were fragile or handling it with even basic care. When I asked her why she dropped my package like that, she said, "It's going to get tossed around worse than that." I asked her politely to ensure my package was handled safely, and she responded, "Do I look like a delivery driver?"--then walked off. At this point, I took out my phone and began recording because I couldn't believe how disrespectful and careless she was being. This woman should not be the face of a community store. She showed zero professionalism, courtesy, or care for customers or their belongings. I'm requesting immediate contact from UPS Corporate. This employee's behavior was unacceptable on every level, and she does not deserve to continue representing the UPS brand. It's truly sad that I can't do something as simple as return a package in my own community without being subjected to this kind of treatment. read more

I understand that some days are more challenging than others, especially in customer service. However, the level of disrespect displayed by Jennifer at this location was completely unacceptable, and I will not be returning. Believe the reviews--she refused to help anyone, told customers to tape up their boxes only to then demand they be opened for inspection, charged for the tape, and then imposed outrageous fees like $35 for returns and $20 for printing, all while being disrespectful. I can't believe this location is allowed to nickel and dime customers for basic shipping services. I've visited other UPS locations and never encountered anything like this. I realize this is an independently owned store, but I'm sure UPS would be appalled to know how poorly their brand is being represented. read more

two stars because of the convenient location and amount of services they offer but this spot needs some SERIOUS IMPROVEMENT. Just been here a few times to drop off packages for shipping but they seem to open whenever they feel like which is very unprofessional. Customer service could be much better; there's no need for so much attitude and annoyance. read more

The UPS Store - 8:30am and store front still closed. extremely unprofessional and poor management. - Shipping Centers Near Me - New York, New York

Jennifer is rude, condescending and lacks basic social skills. With all the negative comments here, nothing changes. The other employees have poor attitude & demeanor as well. They service the Harlem community and feel this is how we should be treated. I return Amazon packages to WholeFoods, print at Staples and use pharmacy around the corner for notary needs going fwd. read more

Finally someone who solves the problem and attends to my need! Had an issue with getting a pick up from the driver after I paid for a pickup. Highly frustrating! So I took my package to this UPS Store. Kay couldn't have been more helpful explaining how to get the return changed with Amazon there in store. Once that was done, easy peasy. read more

Jennifer, Thank you for responding. My point being is that you and your crew never provided me viable solutions to my problem. You actually suggested that you could discard of the three boxes as an option. I am actually seething thinking about this )The gall! It was through my own hard work and persistence that I figured out that I could call the UPS customer service line to get actual help. You and your team never suggested this option. I hope your team has had some external training that you can actually help customers. Also, stop spreading misinformation. read more

"Great service!" "So friendly!" "The best!!!"" I like doing business with this store because they are they take of all my shipping needs. I don't like going to to the Staples down the the block because of the homeless that stand in front of the store. "What I enjoy most about working with this UPS is they are fast. I love this store. read more

This store leaves a lot to be desired. The store seems pointless and a waste of space. Every time I come here there's a line with at least 4 people. Customer service is only ok - they charge you for everything and there's never more than one person working on the floor. The worker also always take forever and pretends like there isn't a line. Ugh. I often come here because I have to return amazon packages, if I could go to another location I would. If you could avoid coming here you should. read more

This place is awful. The lady in the store is a miserable person. Ive seen the police called to mediate a dispute. Do not go here. I'd rather buy an entirely new printer before coming here. read more

I went to this store and was treated extremely unkindly. I was returning a package from ASOS, which had a built-in adhesive sticker to seal the package. The associate KAY told me that I had to secure the package before he could accept it, so upon me trying to seal it, the adhesive fell in on itself so parts of the package were loose. He saw me attempting to seal it, DID NOT try to help and then had the audacity to strong-arm me into paying $2 to tape the package when there was a tape gun right behind him. I kindly asked him "You just saw me attempt to seal it, now you're going to charge me $2??? Could you please just use the tape gun behind you?" He simply did not want to help me. He kept saying "It's your fault, it's your fault." I understand if I came into the store with a messed up package, but I did not. Hell, had I messed up the package prior to my visit, I would have just used the tape at my home, for FREE. I told him he was being unnecessarily difficult and extremely rude to a customer who was not rude or anything! I was about to leave to go home and seal the package myself when another rep gracefully intervened and decided to tape the package with one of the numerous tape guns behind the counter. I could not believe the hostility I was receiving after a simple human error. Given this is the closest UPS to me, it's extremely unsettling to know that someone as rude as KAY is working at UPS, a company that prides itself on "world class customer service." I am extremely disturbed by this entire encounter. Moreover, lower management responded and was completely dismissive, accusing me of being belligerent, irate and rude, which was not the case. They are trying to paint me as the stereotypical angry, Black guy when I just needed a simple solution to a minor problem. The entire store is TOXIC. The management is defending the rude actions of its employees and justifying bad customer service. In addition, the managers and employees are LIARS, saying they told me about pre-paid labels - incorrect. Kay told me I had to pay $2 for the tape, which is crazy. I just want everyone to know this store does not uphold UPS standards and it does not deserve our business and hard-earned money. Moreover look how the manager KAY continues to be the common denominator in all the negative reviews! He is the problem and should be fired! read more

The manager at this location is quite rude and nasty. I was given instructions on how to send and pickup a package at this location. They said you can send to the location and pick it up at the cost depending the size. Upon delivery they refused the package and completely changed the process of what they told me stating "if you don't have a PO Box we won't accept it". In speaking to the manager he was incredibly rude and did not help me. I've picked up at other UPS locations and they've always been kind and helpful and clear on the process. I wouldn't recommend this location. read more

The absolute shockingly worst UPS store I have ever entered in my life and it's safe to say I have been to numerous around the country and around the world. Was approached by a grumpy sad woman called Jennifer who clearly absolutely hates her job and hates her life. She has absolutely no life etiquette, customer service skills or the simple human ability to communicate with a person. I do not even want to begin or go into what occurred on my visit. Not only the worst UPS store I have been to but also the worst person I have ever had to speak to in my life. She puts UPS and humankind to shame!!! From the older reviews it seems like she has been working there for 6+ years which I find very hard to digest. As a business owner myself with a number of employees, she absolutely doesn't deserve a job. She is downright atrocious, uneducated, nefarious, and a simply put -- the absolute worst person. Whatever excuse will be written by Jennifer or one of the other store clerks here should absolutely be dismissed as well as the replies they have written on other reviews. PLEASE BELIEVE ALL THESE REVIEWS ABOUT JENNIFER. This woman is NASTY. Don't go to this ups location unless you want to ruin your day!!!! It's absolutely worth going to the next closest one. Save yourself. GO TO THIS LOCATION INSTEAD:2214 Frederick Douglas Blvd, New York, NY 10026. (Staff at this location are amazing, friendly and just want to get their job done to the best of their ability.) they also mentioned how many people come in complaining to them about Jennifer. Edit to the response: I've never in my life told anyone how to do their job. She was a disaster from the moment I walked in. Instead of just speaking to Jennifer why don't you fire her?! Have you seen how many people have been complaining? That's not remotely normal. Whoever is responding to these comments please reply with your name and contact number so we can all get our facts straight. Please also open your eyes and re read everyone's negative experiences with Jennifer so you can stop falsely defending her. There is no excuse for her ridiculousness. Thank you. read more

I came here needed help with an Amazon return. This is a convenient location, and the staff were polite and quick enough.

I recently visited this location to purchase large boxes. I approached Jay who had just come from outside the store and was now standing guard towards the back of the store where the oversized boxes were located. As I explained to Jay my project and what I was looking for, he's staring me down, aggressively swinging his arms as if he's a bouncer of some nightclub prepared to pounce at any given moment. I asked Jay if he could turn around so that he could see the box size I wanted to purchase (there were various sizes). He flatly replied, "No". Since he did not want to turn around, I had to continue the annoying task of pointing and describing the boxes I wanted which were located directly behind him. (By the way, there was a sign on the wall that read "Pedicure" with an arrow pointing in the same direction. I suppose if I had just said I needed a pedicure, things would have gone much easier). Eventually, he turned to grab at least one box, but not without cursing and mumbling under his breath. He pulls one of the boxes. I asked, " Do you have something larger?" Full of attitude, he begrudgingly and loudly replied, "It would be easier if you just told me what you're trying to do". I said, "I just told you what I want to do". I asked for the price of the box, told him the number of boxes I needed, but quickly retracted my request. I was so disgusted by Jay's egregious, unprofessional behavior I decided to leave the store. Response to the owner: Thanks for the reply. The point about the pedicure sign was written out of mere frustration. Also - just to clarify - I made no attempt to walk to the back of your store; rather bring to his attention the boxes I wanted to purchase. Regardless of the location of the boxes or any signage hanging from the walls, the behavior he displayed is inexcusable. Thanks again. read more

I've been here twice In tbe few weeks and dealing with Jennifer is the worst part. The tone she uses is demeaning and she answers your questions with an attitude. For her to be a employee and dealing with thr public her entire being should be different. I'm appalled by reading the reviews that she has been this way for years. How can she paying customers take the time out to complain and as I see still she hasn't changed. I just dealt with her again today. Even the lady whom was behind me in line noticed her snappy responses and received the same when she asked her a question. Jennifer will be the only reason I take my business elsewhere for its either that or she cursed out again as she did today. Please Train her better or let her work in the back. read more

I give this UPS Store one star because I was the second one in the store. That's the one. when I arrived, Jennifer was working. Once she weighed my package Jennifer instructed me to look at the kiosk to check my information. I let her know it was correct. She told me to tap something on the screen. I asked her if she could tap it because she was wearing gloves. She said, "No", so I asked if she had an extra glove I could have, the screen was not clean. She said no and she moved on to the next client without any further acknowledgment. Not even to return my package. Check the tapes. The package I was going to send was over $25. In these times I am very strategic with whom and where I spend my money. For the month of December my household was quarantined 3x. That means no income. I traveled to Harlem to mail this package purposely. I could have and should have simply mailed my package from Brooklyn where I live and that is exactly what I did after experiencing Jennifer. I carried my package back to Brooklyn. In these days no one should be experiencing such rudeness. Money is funny, change is strange and my hard earned hard to come by dollars WILL be RESPECTED. Bring Back Customer Service. If Jennifer doesn't like her job at this UPS Store she should allow someone else the opportunity to earn a living in her place. read more

Horrible experience. Rude staff. The person who was 'helping' me turned hostile and unpleasant once I asked to make corrections in the address.

The supervisor at 30 E. 125th Street (New York) is the worst customer service person I have ever come it contact with. On numerous occasions her negative attitude has caused disruptions with several customers just wanting to pick up their packages. Ms. Lady is condescending, dismissive, and will not hesitate to hang up the phone on you, when you have not explain why you are calling or visiting the center. Having to deal with her is a test of anyone's patience. One of the bosses should pop up unannounced and try to pick up a package. This location is the most convenient local to my home, I feel like i have to prep myself before i go their to pick up packages. If my location was safe for deliveries, they would lose a customer. Hope this review creates change at the location. The cite has my location as California, but I'm in New York ! read more

This store is very consistent, great service, friendly staff! I am always appalled by how rude and disrespectful some of their customers are while I'm waiting to be served. These customers don't read their own instructions, don't come prepared, so the rest of us can complete our transactions. Then they berate the staff for their idiotic, ignorant behavior. We are happy this store is open and providing one stop shopping for me! UPS should give these staff a raise especially Jennifer. She is so patient with some of these deranged individuals. Please continue with the great work. read more

The customer service by Jennifer was terrible. When I tried to use my credit card for a transaction, I was told that they only take cash or debit. I asked to see the policy, she pointed to a sign that read this (see the photo). Unless it's in another language, I do not see the debit or cash only written there. I've been to this location several times and had great experiences with the male employees, but Jennifer was trash! read more

The UPS Store - Policy - Shipping Centers Near Me - New York, New York

Horrible business. Rude employees, especially JENNIFER. This UPS Store is close to my house so I have gone there many times to mail things, buy shipping supplies, and finally, today, to have a form notarized. They have always been rude and condescending and today's visit was the absolute worst encounter yet. I was having two contracts notarized and was not exactly sure which parts of the contracts needed notarized stamps so I asked the employee (Jennifer) for help. She was brusque but told me to bring out my ID and my signed forms. I did my best with the confusing forms, hoping she'd be able to help me. I showed her what I had and she criticized me, expressing confusion of her own and saying "I only notarize signatures. Where's your signature?" I tried to explain what I understood to be the spot I should sign and she said, "that's for the notary! Why are you writing in my spot?" She shook her head and had an overall obnoxious attitude. I tried one more time to figure the situation out but she made an additional complaint/criticism, at which point, I gathered my forms and told her I was going elsewhere. As I left, I said, "you're so rude. I'm just asking for your help." At that point, another customer who had been trying to get her help with something prior, agreed. "You know what," he said to her. "You ARE rude." He elaborated as Jennifer argued and at that point I had had enough and left. How is a business like this still in operation? read more

I dropped off a Amazon return package to UPS store #6166 on 03/21/2023 at 8:29 AM. When I requested a receipt for the drop off, the female employee said receipt is not given out for this return and was told to take a picture of the UPS label with tracking number. On previous return drop offs at different UPS stores I was given receipts. As of today, this tracking number indicates: "Shipper created a label, UPS has not received the package yet". This happened to me for the second time. read more

Not only will I be contacting the BBB, I'm sending notices to the East Harlem Commerce Department and any other agency which handles these complaints. SHOP ELSEWHERE!! read more

Lol... I'm now just mad at myself for not trusting my fellow Yelper's before coming to this location. Kareem and apparently this entire location needs customer service training or plain out clean house! I'm never one to take food out of anyone's mouth but they need to get it together! My first time ever at this location and Kareem clearly needs to go home if he's having a bad day or quit if he hates the job. The customer is NEVER to be blamed for either or. I've done retail for years, so I can certainly sympathize - there are times you wonder wtf! and other times, customers are just plain out rude and you give a little attitude back - although not okay to do, I can understand because I've been there! I am superrrrrr annoyed with Kareem's whole aura when entering the store first off, to the way he speaks to customers to his tone and body language. There was a lady when I entered the store and she started to use Apple Pay and in a snippy/dismissive tone he stated they don't take that form of payment. For me, who called 2x to inquire about the DHL shipping process, he was &*(^% rude! Plain and simple! The entire process, which is making me mad all over again so I won't elaborate, was HORRIBLE! Me at 21 would've lost my cool but I'm an adult adult now, so I just took my receipt and walked out before it got ugly. What really boiled my blood was how he spoke to another lady after me who didn't know Amazon labels showed the description and was unsure which package went with which label. His response in the nastiest tone was "We don't know that; you should!" -__- Apparently no one ever told him, 'It's not what you say but HOW you say it!' Then he had the nerveeeee to throw her package like it was nothing and clearly he just didn't care. I know, packages get tossed all the time but body language speaks volumes!!! I was surely waiting on him to toss my package because all that adult stuff was going right out the window! These reviews are as bad as the staff at this location and UPS seriously needs to get this fixed! I for one don't need anyone triggering me so I will never return but I won't be surprised if I hear a customer loses it one day! You don't need to be all sunshine and rainbows but damn, common decency and manners goes a long way. Roll ya eyes and talk ya mess when the store clears or in your head but check that attitude when you dealing with people! read more
