Ridiculously easy and efficient notary services. We were in and out in less than 10 minutes.

I love love love this place. They notarized our domestic partnership...so we basically got married here. They ship our pre-printed returns for us without question. Super nice...very efficient. My total go-to place. read more

Amazing service! My partner and I came in looking to ship an iMac without its original packaging. The day before we had gone to the USPS store and got mixed quotes of up to $200. But Arman at Alameda Mail Boxes Plus was very eager to help with finding us the most economical packaging solution and took great care in wrapping the computer. I will definitely be coming back even to ship the smallest of items :) read more

I had a mailbox here for 2 years or more. Great service, friendly people, after hours box access. Was great to have when I lived in an area with questionable mail receiving capability. read more

Don't go here if you need a receipt. This is the third time I have shipped this computer. First time I sent it from Fed Ex and got a receipt. Second time I sent it from Office Max and got a receipt. This time I tried Alameda Mail Boxes Plus. The woman there told me she would not give me a receipt. I told her the other places did, She told me I could wait there for 2 hours for the Fed Ex person to come pick it up. I headed back to Office Max...and got a receipt read more

I contacted Arman right before he was closing, I asked him if he could wait and he took care of my shipping, packaging and notary needs with ease. I was in and out within 10 minutes. I highly recommend Alameda Mail Boxes Plus for your notary needs and shipping needs done in a fast and professional way. Alameda Mail Boxes Plus is the notary service ever!!! read more

Really friendly and quick, attentive service! Was my first time here but I felt very welcomed even when I called over the phone. Wonderful service in general. read more

Place is good if you need mailing supplies but the lady at the desk was horrible. Wasn't very helpful and didn't look happy to be working.

My family is going on a medical mission to Jamaica and needed numerous services from Arman. We sought his assistance on 1/09/17 with the expectation that we were going to be there a long time. We needed approximately ten notarized signatures, a passport photo, copies of all documents, and international shipping of all documents to Jamaica before the end of the business week. In total, we were there about an hour and while he was assisting us with our needs, other customers appeared to solicit his services. Not only did he perform all of the tasks we required in a correct and timely fashion, but, also demonstrated excellent customer service to all other patrons. His service is the reason we drive from Oakland to Alameda even though there are numerous other notaries that are closer to our residence. As an addendum to this review, I needed a birth certificate form notarized last minute (as of today's date). Arman was willing to assist even though I was running late. He was willing to stay after business hours to assist me. If this is not outstanding customer service, then I do not know what is. read more

Came here last week for a photo shoot. Waited a bit longer than I expected. But the lady was sweet and nice. The pictures were pretty pricy. But it got the job done. read more

The individual at the counter did not mail my letter the day it was dropped off hence, I did not get paid on time, etc. One would expect mail and packages to go out the day they are placed in the care of these people but evidently this is not the case. read more

Purchased money order from here for dmv and mailed it out from here dmv still did not receive also mailed 2 phones and it got lost when I called to ask them how I can get my refund they hung the phone rude no costumer service don't trust your mail with anyone except usps signature confirmation and tracking read more

I needed passport photos. Arman was efficient and friendly, and off I went with my photos with no wait. Then the Passport Office rejected them because of a tiny spot on one of them. Sigh. So back I went. Arman still had the images on his computer, so was able to reprint them without fuss! read more

We've trusted Arif, Bobby, & Arman to handle our mail for years, starting with a period where we went traveling for months at a time. They keep track of everything and are always fun to visit when we pick up the mail. read more

I love Bobbi and her son, they make conning to check my mail, mail out packages or receiving them much more pleasant then any Alameda Post office. read more

Super friendly, personalized service. They get to know you and look out for your packages. Thank you!

loved how there are signs everywhere to show youre in the right place for notary public! highly recommend to get it done here! it's very simple,fast&friendly service esp if this is your first time! took less than 5mins&cost $15 :) read more

Bobby and her son are always easy to work with, a nice location to make some last minute payments.

I needed a last minute notary & called Mail Boxes Plus. Bobby told me she could help me, so I went over there. Not only was she professional & courteous, she had me out of there in less than 10 minutes! I will definitely use Mail Boxes Plus in the future! read more

I've been here many times, and never been disappointed. Ava is simply amazing. Dedicated, professional, excellent work, reasonable prices, quick turn-around. read more

I needed to get some documents out in a hurry requiring a notary, money order, and mailing. I'd planned to come here to get the document notarized and then hit the bank & post office respectively - only to realize that I could do it all in one place! In less than 20 minutes, I was out the door with everything complete! The nice lady even directed me to the nearest ATM when I didn't have cash on hand for the money order. It was so simple coming here and I felt like she really wanted to help me out with getting things just right. I'll be returning here for notary tasks and anything else I may need in the future! read more

I was so happy to find Arman and this location, as I had some unusual requests and not very much time. Arman was very helpful and understanding, and he made the notary/certification process easy. He was efficient and courteous, and helped numerous other customers while I was working my way through my stack of papers. I would definitely recommend Mail Boxes Plus, and I will certainly be back! read more

Alameda Mail Boxes Plus has been providing me 5-Star service for 10+ years. In having had hundreds of boxes/packages delivered over the years (most times with irreplaceable contents), there has never been an adverse situation/experience. Before UPS/FedX introduced shipment tracking, the staff was (and still is, if necessary) readily available to check on my urgent deliveries. Always friendly and ready to assist you, you'll get the best service on the island . read more

I've had a mailbox here for almost 4 years. That's mostly the main service I utilize, but they have a variety of offerings, including notary, accepting large items for a nominal fee, basic office supplies, and all types of shipping. As other reviewers have said, they're fast and friendly here. I usually only visit after hours to just pick up mail, and have only rarely had reason to stop in during open hours. But right from the beginning, they have always recognized me when I come in, and acted like I stop by to say hello every day. I feel like I'm with family there. And yet, they do not get overly personal as some small shops do. Honestly, it reminds me of what a small neighborhood post office is like in the old movies. Except that it's in 3D and in color. Prices are also very reasonable. Also, I've gotten receipts without any problems when needed. I think someone may be confused. read more

Was in and out of here under ten minutes to some paperwork notarized! A big plus is that the notary public is always present, unlike other locations where you have to call in advance and have to receive the bad news of waiting until someone shows up. I've been calling this one place apparently that has four stars + for notary services, however for some reason after calling the place up five times on separate occasions, not once had they picked up. If you're honestly looking for some humble, quick, and lovely service, then this is the place for you. Thanks Arman and your sister! Haha read more

Best place for shipping, gift wrapping, and notary in town. It's a family run store with great service. Love the lady at the desk who always has a joke to tell. She's about her business though and you can tell by how she takes care of her customers. My family has been in alameda for over 10 years and if we ever need anything notarized or a package sent this is where we have gone and where we will continue to go. The shop is a quintessential alameda shop and we love it!!!! read more

The only service I have used is the Notary, but they were excellent, knew just what to stamp and write. A bit funky, but who cares? They are my go-to Notary service in Alameda read more

Very rude customer service. The clerk was not interested in my business as if I had interrupted her busy agenda. Finally after me telling her by pointing to the sign, they do accept USPS, she proceed to quote me $20.00 to ship a 5 x 4 mailer and told me that there are fees charged by her business. I wonder what her agenda is...Will never try to do anything again with this business. Beverly read more

Armon is the best!! Nothing less but the best service. Everytime that I go in he is very helpful and even if it's something that he cannot help with he'll point me in the right direction. read more

Super helpful, friendly folks with a good sense of humor. Let's just say I've been converted from the UPS store! I've only mailed stuff (ranging from eBay items to extremely important 1/2" mastering tapes) here, but I'll surely be coming back for any other related needs! read more

What great service I received! I was apprehensive as my order was complicated and multifaceted. But there was no need to worry as Bobbie immediately understand what was needed and was supportive and so cheerful throughout! Excellent customer service. I am now a loyal fan! Thank you. read more

I love this place. They are always super friendly and helpful. A mother and son team who know how to help you get stuff done.

This place is a huge rip off. Do not patronize this shop. They charged me $33 for a cardboard box and some styrofoam popcorn to ship an item, but didn't tell me the cost until after they had packed it up. When I said I wanted my item back they said it would still cost $33 because they would need to open the box and it couldn't be used again. $33 for a card board box and packing that would cost $10 anywhere else. When I complained they said this is how they always do business. read more

WOW!!! I had to get insurance papers notarized, copies made, and the papers had to go out today, and it was 4pm (I thought I would have to go to 2 places). There was a line, but I quickly noticed, the woman at the counter, was amazing. People were paying bills, sending packages, doing western union, all kinds of stuff. She was super fast and friendly. And she even noticed some part of my papers that I didn't fill out. But she did not mention that my papers which I was sending 2 day, were not going to leave until the next day, making it 3 day for me. Just making that clear would have been great. read more

Alameda Mailboxes Plus, on Santa Clara near Broadway, are a bunch of thieves. I paid our previous bill with cash, and now they are claiming I never paid it. I *may* have a receipt somewhere, buried in all the paper, but that's going to be nearly impossible to find, so I'll suck up paying them twice for the same service long enough to cancel it, and find someplace which has better prices and doesn't rip off its customers. read more

Lost a package after they signed for it. Told me it was my problem and to file insurance claim with UPS. A week later, they found the package in their packing peanut bin. Owners kids were playing with it! Not even an apology. I had been a customer, and mailbox holder for two years. I switched to UPS store on blanding and haven't been happier! read more
