PostalAnnex+

I like that when I drop off my UPS package, they give me a receipt because sometimes, I’m paranoid and I feel like if I drop off my packages in one of those drop-​off bins, that no one will pick my package up and that my package will sit there for days. However, at PostalAnnex, I know my package is getting taken care of because they scan it and give me a receipt!
This place is hidden next to Domino’s Pizza in the same plaza as Target.
Passport photos are $ 11. I will be back for those!

I wish I could give them zero stars! The most horrible customer service I have ever ever experienced. Walked in just to drop off packages that were already labeled and taped. The lady insisted I had to wait in line for them to be scanned instead of just dropping them off like any other location. I waited in line for 15 minutes in a line that never once moved because of how slow they were working. This place makes the post office look speedy! Hope this is not a fens chide because I’ll be complaining to the head office. I am still shocked at the service!!! Don’t waste your time or money here.

The local PostalAnnex+ is in a convenient location in the same lot as Target. The staff has always been helpful and is extremely easy for me to drop off my prepaid UPS and FedEx packages. Rarely have I had to wait.
For any packages you need, ease your errand route and get it all done here!

Used this place a handful of times now, and have yet to have a bad experience. I’ve never waited long in line, and when I send multiple packages out they are great at making sure they keep which is which straight and triple check everything is correct.
Good customer service, convenient location for me, and I don’t have to worry that the package won’t make it because of something like a labeling error.

I have been a customer at this location since Imad and Rajaa bought this Postal Annex. They are my go-​to shippers and are ALWAYS courteous, polite and professional.
Everyone knows that stores like this are set up for convenience. If you want to spend the time and gas to go to cheaper places, please do that rather than leave these hard-​working people such unfair reviews.
Convenience means that I don’t always have the time, so I’m willing to pay a bit more. Yes, that’s how these stores stay in business. They are a business — a very competitive one.
Even if you are not in the market for shipping, but are in the neighborhood, stop by and meet these friendly folks. In addition to shipping, I’ve also used their notary services. Again, I am very pleased with the service.
In no way am I a friend or employee placing a positive review that is unfounded. If I were a business, I’d probably tear my hear out seeing the misplaced and unfair reviews — not only here, but for so many other vendors.
Thank you, Abolhosn & Rajaa. You are top-​notch.

Definitely not worth coming here for way overpriced things that you can find at the Dollar Tree across the street next to Marshall’s. .28 per copy? Nearly twice as much over at FedEx where Home Depot is down the street. This place is only convenient because people don’t know what other options there are in Mira Mesa.

Super overpriced. I went in for passport photos and to ship something via FedEx or UPS. The photos were taken with a point and shoot camera in dreadful lighting, so the result did not meet passport photo requirements at all.
I ended up buying the envelope from Postal Annex and headed to the FedEx office down the street to get some passport photos and mail my package. Imagine my shock when FedEx told me that Postal Annex had charged me 30% more than what the actual FedEx price was!
I’m never going back to this place — it seems very convenient because they supposedly have a notary and the ability to take passport photos all in one place, but there’s no way you can use the passport photos they take.
The people were polite but charging me 30% more for an already expensive mailing label was ludicrous! Head over to the FedEx office on Westview parkway if you’re going to be mailing stuff via FedEx, or need passport photos. I’m very disappointed with my experience and wish I’d read the reviews on Unilocal before wasting my time and money.

This is the place! I love the owners and every time I go in here to mail something, they greet me with a smile and offer me every type of discount to save me money. They are my première shipper for my business:
What people don’t realize is that their computer system has access to ship through the USPS, FedEx, ups and more. Costs can get expensive if you don’t inform them of the way you want to ship your package. The cheapest way is of course through USPS. Just let them know. They can do it. It’s a heck of a lot better to go here than to go to the post office. Beat the traffic and ship from here.

Over priced. Rude. No thank you!

I love this Postal Annex! The couple that runs it are the most friendly and personable people in this business. I feel like I’m with old friends each time I walk in due to their great warmth and kindness. Our company has a PO Box there and we mail a lot of bulk media using their services. They always take the time to help assist us with boxing, looking up addresses, finding the cheapest option, etc. I would much rather go to this Postal Annex than the regular post office any day.

I’ve gone into numerous postal places before and this place has by far the worst customer service! The people who owns it needs to learn customer service skills! I don’t recommend this place to anyone! Especially if you have kids!
I went in to this location yesterday with my 2 year old son just to send out a fax. I believe the man who helped me was possibly the owner. I turned around just to tell him what I needed and my son was looking at the pens before I could even say a word the person who was behind the counter yells and says «keep your son with you anything he breaks ill have to pay for» I was in shock! I should have just taken my paperwork and left! I have never received such rude service! I don’t recommend going to this location at all! The owners have BAD customer service!

I don’t expect much of third-​party mailing centers — and neither should you.
I usually head here when I have a prepaid item to ship — it’s a convenient dropoff point.
As expected, using their mailing services means you’ll pay a premium compared to heading down the street to the nearby post office, fed ex center, or UPS store — all of which are less than a mile away. Don’t come in here expecting just a minimal mark-​up — how else do they keep the lights on?
Aside from the mailing services, this joint also provides mailboxes, shipping supplies, and a notary public.

Used a prepaid Fedex label to ship and they gave me a free Fedex envelope, I paid no extra fees, fast and friendly service.
They also have a notary public.
Right next to Domino’s so grab a pizza for cheap afterwards.
Plenty of parking.

Fast, friendly, and family-​owned, this Postal Annex is my go-​to spot to mail anything. The prices on their shipping materials are very cheap as well. Other services include: faxes, passport photos, and notary services.
note: $ 5.00 minimum to pay with credit card

I’ve been using this place for mailbox services for a couple years now. Pricing is reasonable, and they call me to notify me of packages (about 75% of the time). Their notary service, which I have used twice, was fairly priced and professional.
But I agree with the other reviewers that the prices for shipping packages from here are quite high. I understand they need to make a profit, and the lines are usually much shorter than at the post office. But I cringe any time I walk in with a box to ship. I have to do the math in my head of «X dollars in overpricing vs Y minutes wasted in line somewhere else» to see if it’s really worth it.
They used to have more staffing, which I think helped keep the lines shorter, and improved the customer service. Lately, not so much.
I’d give a 4 for the inbound mail services and the notary, and a 2 for the outbound mail services.

This place is really close to my house but I rather go to a much farther place in order to avoid being ripped off! The other day I went in there to ship two parcels, one with only 1 single piece of paper and another one much heavier with many more documents. They were both to be shipped abroad and when the owner rang me up, he told me it would cost me $ 10 to have them shipped. I thought this was a bit much so I looked at his computer to see what he had entered and noticed that he had put the same weight for both parcels. When I told him one of them was obviously much heavier than the other and that I should not have to pay the same amount for both, he weighed them again and changed the original weight he had entered. So I ended up paying less. You would think he would apologize for making the mistake, but NO. He just casually asked me for the money and didn’t even mention why he had originally asked me for so much more money.
Another thing you have to be careful about when you go to this place is that they always assume you want to ship using the most expensive method, such as UPS and FEDEX, so unless you want to be charged an arm and a leg, you have to specifically mention that you want the cheapest way of shipping. Otherwise, they will charge you what they feel like without even asking you or providing you with the available options. I had been sending all my packages from this location for a while until I realized why I had always been charged so much!

I had a horrible experience today, and after reading the other reviews, it’s pathetically comforting to know I’m not the only one.
Basically, my husband asked me to drop off a package that already had a label and just needed to be taped up and have the label affixed. He said there’s a nice guy there that
does it for him all the time. The box literally needed FOUR pieces of tape. Long story short, there were a total of 6 people in line and when I finally got to the front, and who seemed to be the owner, progresses to get exasperated with me and closes up the box and just leaves the label loose on top of the box telling me «he’ll get to it later» because he «has customers in line.» I’m sorry, didn’t I just wait in line like everyone else to be told I’m not a customer? Anyway, I left then came back an hour later when there was nobody in line and tried to give the owner some friendly advice that it’s probably a good idea to provide those simple courtesies (taping my box even though I wasn’t paying him) because that’s how you can ensure a customer WILL come back with paying business. He proceeded to yell at me and I walked out shaking my head.
My husband will have to do it himself next time because you couldn’t pay me to set foot in there again.

I have a mailbox here, and the price to maintain it is affordable. However, the mailing costs are a little on the high side, so I try not to get any packages mailed from here unless I’m in a rush to get them sent out.

They will charge you a fee to drop off a prepaid item. This place used to be ok until the ownership changed … too bad as it is close to home. Go to the place by the goodyear on mira mesa blvd, nicer lady and reasonable rates!

I had the absolute worst experience imaginable here. The owner told me my package would cost $ 42 to ship + approximately $ 5 for a box, spent literally 30 minutes boxing it, and then charged me $ 25 for boxing it and $ 65 to ship. When I told him to remove my item from the box he said no and forced me to pay for the outrageously marked up packaging costs.
This place is an absolute rip-​off. I would never go back and while I am the first to review I hope that others see this and avoid this place. Go to the post office, or directly to UPS to ship. I am appalled at how they conduct business and I hope nobody has to deal with anything similar to what I experienced.
