The UPS Store

Always fast friendly service for shipping of packages. They have many other services but we haven’t used those. You can buy stamps and send usps also however you cannot ship priority mail using the flat rate boxes and use the flat rate price. For parcels, packages and packaging of packages it meets all of our needs.

Horrible service. I called this UPS store two times because needed something notorized.
They told me to come between 2 and 6 and the notary will be there.
Guess what? When I arrived the lady at the counter said the the notary wasn’t in all day.
Bait and switch. Nothing to see here. Go to another more reputable store.

I stopped by this UPS store in the midst of some errands.
It was no different than any other UPS store I’ve been to – quick and easy!
I sent out a small package and it only cost around $ 9. They said it should arrive within 24 hours. Woot!
I used my own box but I know they could have packaged it for me. I literally was in and out in under 5 minutes. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Yay for efficient mail service!

Went into this UPS Store to ship a bunch of random crap (and said that to the owner who was helping me) and told her I wanted it to go the cheapest way possible. So she goes about her business and I’m noticing that she is shipping 4 lamp bases in two different containers (they are metal and wood — so i was thinking it was weird that they needed to be in two different containers) and then she packed one picture in a separate box — when were there a bunch of other things roughly the same size. But again — i think she knows what she is doing… then I get the total $ 284.07 !!! HOLY CRAP !! At this point I’m flabbergasted but I’ve already hauled in all this crap and told her I didn’t need additional insurance on it and am really so shocked I just hand over my debit card …
On the way back to my office — I call a friend who’s parents own a UPS store in another state and they confirm my suspicions that I kinda got taken to the cleaners !! So me being a chicken — have my friend call them to address the situation. This woman says to her that there was no way she could have packed them in fewer boxes — which is not true — if nothing else the 4 lamp bases could have gone in one box … and that picture could have gone in a box with a dartboard and a couple other random things. She clearly is soooo afraid of getting stuck with the damages if something were to break that she goes too far the other direction. And all this after I told her this stuff was not worth that much and was just random crap !!!
The only option she gave us was to come get all my crap — which at this point is not worth it but …
be warned … go to another UPS store unless you are looking to pay a premium or are shipping the crown jewels. I could have purchased all new lamps, lampshades, pictures and dartboard for the money she charged me to ship them !!
and don’t hold this against all UPS stores … i have had lots of other good experiences at other locations.
