PostalAnnex+

We used postal annex to notarize documents previously no problem. However latest notarization was botched and so I had to go elsewhere to have a second copy notarized at the last minute. PA offered to supply me a full refund for the mistake if I supplied them the receipt and associated records. However after they realized the amount of the refund was $ 60 (6 signatures), not the $ 20 they assumed, they changed their mind and offered only a partial refund with no justification. Ultimately I got back the total charge by sending all the documentation in to my credit card company and disputed it. It didn’t have to be that way. If you want someone who stands by their services don’t go here.

I tried to send a package at this store. I needed expedited shipping and insurance. I asked them what my best bet was, their response was that my cheapest option would cost me $ 45. This package was less than 1.5 pounds! I then took my package to USPS where my package was sent for $ 13.95. Either these people are really uneducated on postage or they are out to rip people off. Either way, unacceptable for a store which supposedly specializes in shipping. Definitely wouldn’t reccommend.

One phone call this morning to PostalAnnex discussing different options for mailing and was given advice that saved me over $ 100. Wow!

Always friendly and work hard to get you the best prices! Come here for all your shipping needs and a few miscellaneous office needs.

I have come to the postal Annex numerous times to handle everything from packing and shipping boxes to creating and laminating soccer team playing cards. They have always been extremely helpful, gone over and above to make sure we do everything properly so I get the desired results, and above all they have been consistently more affordable than any of the other shipping stores nearby. I love these guys!

My husband and I have each been here once to buy postage and ship a package. We both had the same experience: exorbitant cost.
I recently mailed an average sized book packed minimally via media mail and was charged $ 6.43. The clerk printed out the postage and stuck it on the book before I had a chance to decline, so I felt obligated to pay. I mentioned that the price seemed very high for a book and the clerk blamed «rising gas prices.» LOL.
I checked online when I got home and
says it should have cost $ 2.43. I get that this place needs to upcharge for convenience, but an extra $ 4 on something as cheap as media mail was unexpected and tacky.
Next time I need to buy postage I am either doing it online or going to a legit USPS.

Another thing to mention is that they sell postcards here. Oregon postcards. Don’t we live in Washington?
When I first visited this location I told the lady behind the counter that it was odd they only had Oregon postcards and that I send a lot of postcards each year. She didn’t seem to care, and told me that the owner was from Oregon and that was why.
I said that it was no reason to only sell Oregon cards, and when I made it a point to explain again that I would buy ample quantities (I participate in postcard swapping) she said she would tell the owner my request, but based on her overall «couldn’t-care-less» attitude I find that hard to believe.
I was trying to bring this place more business, but I guess I’ll stick to stores like Walgreens (which is right next door) and Fred Meyer for my postcard needs.
