The UPS Store

Atop the long list of dumb shit I’ve done in my life, continuing to ship with UPS is climbing the top 5. Don’t get me wrong, the people in this store are awesome, friendly, knowledgable and fast. But the diff. in price between UPS and USPS for basically doing the same thing are obvious. Now that USPS offers tracking numbers for free, theres really no point in coming back. Why would I ship the same box for $ 50 when I could go to the post office and ship it for $ 20? Convenience? Its like 2 restaurants serving the same fish, and 1 saying ‘well you should buy our higher priced same fish because we put it on a nicer plate.’ Balls.
Last month I shipped a stereo receiver I sold on Ebay at UPS. Here’s the breakdown on my latest blunder:
Ebay payment to me: $ 90
UPS Store shipping cost: $ 107
Box cost $ 8.47
Net profit: — $ 25.47
USPS cost for shipping same box: $ 42.00
Ok ok, my fault for not figuring all this out ahead of time… but who the F in there right mind charges $ 9 for 12×20 inch box? Dude, it’s cardboard… Not kevlar. I’m not a cheap bastard, but damn son. This hurts.

I need a fast fax service — in and out $ 2 a page

Once again the UPS Store in this location is as bad as the one in Ramona and cannot even competently send a fax. What is up with that? Do they not train these people on how to dial a phone properly? Give me a break

super helpful!
She answered all my questions!
I completely forgot to put something on my box, called them, and she took care of it for me! wish I looked at her name tag :)

Charged me $ 4.50 for 8 inches of bubble wrap! Crazy ! Super overly expensive. I should have read the reviews…
Was quoted $ 46.00 for delivery in 8 days. USPS post office just charged me $ 12.65 for delivery in 4 days! Free box!!! This ups store is managed by inconsiderate and greedy people who don’t care and charge far more than they ought to. For no reason should anyone go to this store.

I had a playstation 4 delivered to my house today, a 500 dollar purchase, and I come home to the box left out at the bottom of my driveway, practically in the street, for anyone to take!!! NOT COOL UPS. NOT COOL. I will AVOID using your service at any cost from this point on. I’m lucky someone didn’t steal it!!!

$ 2 to print 1 sheet of paper?
Sorry I don’t go to places that rip me off.

Just a quick update; I went in to mail a package and the guy who helped me actually saved me from paying double the post office rate.
He was honest and I really appreciate that. I highly recommend this store. Thanks!

I have used this store twice over the past year and both times, items arrived broken. The first shipment, I watched as the gal behind the counter took my box and dropped it to the floor from the counterheight. Items were properly packaged. Second shipment I let them box in the peanuts and still items arrived broken. In addition, their prices are ridiculously high. I will not be using their services again!

This is the best UPS store I have ever used, there helpful, friendly, and appreciate your business, unlike a lot of UPS stores this one is exceptional and my favorite I have been going there for years, they greet me by name and introduce any staff and help and make me feel like family. :)

They price gouge. I would never use this place again. They tried to charge me $ 60 per package for a small USPS Flat rate box. That’s about 8x more than going to the actual post office. Everything is over inflated. And I worked at a Ups Store so I kinda know what I’m talking about.
I would go elsewhere unless you like to throw away money

I come to this store all the time. The employees were very efficient and welcoming and overall it as very nice upst store. Highly reccomended to come here and I will be be coming back in the near future.

Wow. I love UPS and have had great experiences at their other stores. This one, however, is ridiculous. The store attendant was not at all polite and informed me that they charge $ 2 per package to put one piece of tape across the top of it, even when you’re shipping it with them. No wonder the store was empty! I will be choosing a different UPS Store location. Thanks anyway.

I buy $ 72 in packaging supplies, postage labels and copies. I than ask if they can print out my packaging label from my email in which she told me I could log on to my email with there computer and do it in which I did quickly. I than bought another box and paid for my copies and than I was getting ready to walk out the door after spending nearly $ 80 on my visit, she got an attitude and asked me if I was forgetting something? Excuse me I said, she than said its $ 4 because I used there computer. WHAT! I laughed and said yeah right, I than checked my morals with god, paid her the $ 4, smiled and left. I thinking about a second visit with the computer one day and and seeing what happens when I push F8, I heard blue screens on computers are pretty colors. Catch my drift: In other words don’t bite the hand that feeds you, I have recently transferred all my accounts to the El Norte UPS store in Escondido.

I give these guys an address, my package, and some money, and a few days later my package is where I want it to be. Thats all I mess with there though, I’m not a seasoned shipper like these other reviewers to be mad about some little shit here and there. UPS Store, you will continue to receive my packages.

FAX Warning: $ 1.75/pg to fax out of state!!! Had no choice. $ 28 for a FAX!!! Are you frickin kidding!!! Guess who went out and bought a fax machine afterwards? $ 59 for the entire machine in order to execute an outdated technology when needed. Who would have thought? Did I say $ 28 to fax a document at this place??? What a joke.

I wish I could give 0 stars. I went in needing a few documents printed, 4 pages each. Since all of their competitors charge 12 cents to print, and their copies are 12 cents to print, I assumed that a black and white document would be 12 cents as well. Nope. Apparently, if you want a document printed, there is a 63 cent convenience charge tacked on to every page. The manager was kind enough to tell me this after she rang me up. All of this happened after I waited 10 minutes for her to stop messing around in the back while there were 5 of us waiting for her.

This UPS store is horrible. The ower doesn’t speak decent English, so you can’t really communicate with her. They don’t ground ship your pacakge when using UPS number for whatever the reason (you can at any other UPS stores)…probably just to charge you more.
I tried to send the same package to the same shipping address twice and both time I was given different rate. I asked her how that’s possible and her answer was ‘Oh, I don’t know, it’s different sometimes’. She’s refused to send a package, in her words, the box was no good. I later took the same pacakge to other UPS store and they shipped it with no questions asked.
If you live in the area, go to the UPS store in the Henry’s shopping plaza. It’s way better. You’ll end up saving money and time for sure.

The UPS is terrible! Their office where the packages were distributed was so unorganized… even the most simple person could figure out a better was of managing it. Plus, they say they will do something, such as hold a package, and then they don’t and you find out when you get there. Wonderful. Of course we can’t control how stuff is shipped necessarily, so I guess it’s just something to deal with.
