The Parcel Depot

Just dropped a UPS package off today and they charged me a surcharge for the drop off. They told me it was due to them being charged by UPS but I checked with UPS and they told me they don’t charge them for these drop offs. I thought I would post so others are aware.

So my post is a little late but I wanted to make sure to say how amazing this place is. As a traveling nurse I’m constantly having to mail my belongings ahead, gifts to family on holidays and paperwork for jobs. I was so last minute this year which is very unlike me but I stopped in around 430pm the Friday before Christmas and the owner was so nice! He went right to work boxing my gifts up, making sure to ensure everything would get there safely and quickly. I could not have asked for a better experience so close to the holidays when often times the parcel/​postage services are stressed most. This is truly a gem and a great find!

Paresh goes the extra mile to help people. Whether he is making money or losing money on your shipment, he will treat you the same way, with a helpful, respectful, and cheerful demeanor. He knows the business and is excellent at what he does. I recommend him and his services highly.

I’ve been coming to this business for many years because the owner is super friendly and really gets to know his customers.
The owner is always smiling and greeting his customers with outmost respect. I have kept a mail box here for years and use this address to receive most of my packages. I have also used their notary services on several occasions and never been disappointed.

I came here to get some documents notarized. The owner was very helpful, seemed knowledgeable, and had a great character about him. I will definitely come back here whenever I can.

The owner took bad passport photos, causing me to have to retake the photos three times in total.
There was a bad print, and the owner charged me when I didn’t notice (my fault for paying the amount without looking at the itemized receipt).
Last but not least, even with total charge of over 40 dollars, the owner complained about me using a credit card.

I love coming here, it’s almost like family, great greeting when you walk in! He is always a jolly man, and always gives good insight on everything.
Most of all, this is the place to come if your wanting to save time, it’s fast and speedy.

He is so polite and helpful and his work is amazing I like the way he give advice and guidance and re-​check the work again. Thanks for the work done today!!!

Amazing service, great humor, advices you for best action and makes sure everything is as needed to be. He reviews everything, double check that what he is doing is the best for you.
Unique personality, mind always ready and friendly.

Awesome notary and shipping place. Paresh is great and great humor. Was in and out in 2 min. Efficient and effective

I sent two priority mail envelopes. Postage for each is $ 5.75, total $ 11.50.
I was charged $ 11.44 for each envelope, total $ 22.88. I am not sure if Paresh can lawfully do so, but he did.

I really don’t like writing one star reviews, especially when the other Unilocal reviews are so good, but when a place inconveniences me I can’t help it.
I needed some documents notarized and this place was right down the street from my house. I saw how great the other reviews were so I was stoked it was close. They open at 9:30. I got there around 9:45 and was shocked to see the closed sign on the door. Thinking there might have been a mistake, I called the place. No answer.
Long story short I ended up having to drive way out out of my way to find another place and ended up wasting way more time than I wanted to. I also didn’t get the pleasure to have the service everyone on here raved about.
In the end, this place lost a returning customer because they weren’t open when they said they were.

Exemplary service! I was able to get three things mailed and my passport application and photo out the door inside 30 minutes! Very friendly and jovial proprietor as well!

I just had Paresh notarize some documents. He was very nice, reasonably priced, and I had no wait. He charges $ 10. If you’re only getting one document notarized, it’s cash only, but he’ll accept a credit card if you need to get multiple documents notarized.

Paresh is a very nice man, but I won’t just pay for friendliness. He is ALSO very knowledgable and good at what he does. He helped us notarize birth certificates for our daughter and helped us ship many large/​heavy boxes to the East coast. We are thankful for his kindness, experience, and also sense of humor.

Dropped a package off here last week, great trustworthy guy got my package out the door no problem. Convenient location right off San Thomas on El Camino

I have to agree with other posts. Took my daughter to get her first passport photo and we were in and out in less than five minutes. We received a warm and gracious hello, the pictures were quick and then we received a gracious farewell. The owners attitude was great and made my twelve year old feel comfortable. I would definitely return to The Parcel Depot.

Sweetest, most adorably nice man that works here — I wanted to hug him. Really, I would have if allowed, he was like the perfect grandpa!
I had to get some passport photos done and he got me in and out quickly — I thought this might be a hassle but he made it fast and simple :)

I went in here today and was greeted by the owner, he was very nice and professional. I am sorry the person who reviewed this place before me had a bad experience but mine was great! As soon as I walked in, he was smiling and seemed eager to help. I just had a simple parcel to mail and had to get a notary done. He took his time and went through the various shipping options so I could decide what was best for me (something most other places do not do because they are trying to up-​sale you). I could tell he has been in the business for a while and knew what he was talking about because he could answer all the questions I had without making stuff up. When it came to the notary I received the same outstanding service, it quick fast and before I knew it I was done. I will not go anywhere else for my shipping needs, I have found my one stop shop!
Plain and simple, This place is awesome!!!

This shop is great for all shipping and notary services, and they even do passport photos. The owner has a lot of notary experience so he was able to sort out all my documents and get me in and out quickly! The place has been for for over 30 years, highly recommend!!!
