This place is great. One of the last places with small town customer service!! Had a form notarized and mailed. I had questions, the gentleman treated them kindly, not like I should know everything he knows. Very professional. read more

The owner of this business is a greedy, lazy rude and psychotic! I have never been treated so shabbily in my 73 years of living. I was never told about a package pickup charge oy$1 for each item and then the charge went up to $3!! There it is, for 3 months I paid in excess of $140 for what was quoted to be $37 a month! The actual mail boxes appear to be from the Pony Express time period! My final encounter with this coward was when I protested he picked up my $42 worth of delivered packages and literally threw them out of the front door while my two (2) friends watched in horror, during this terrifying experience he deliberately hit me on my arm with a U.S. mail container! I am definitely going to sue this slob, before the statue date runs out. Please be advised that his business is in complete disarray and I have watched him search for items in several mountains of debris and coming up empty handed (very frightening), to say the least! I am in the process of working with the U.S. Postal Inspectors in re: this incident! Please save yourself and probably your life and sanity and take your mail services to a more reputable business that displays the professional attitude of a proud business owner! read more

Went in to get a document notarized and Chris was very friendly and able to do it quickly. I also needed a money order but unfortunately he does not do them but he let me know that the liquor store down the block does and so I was able to to mail out everything today! Also his coworker Daisy is friendly as well!! :) read more

American Mail - Daisy - Notaries Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

Experienced very friendly and quick notary service. Very glad I came by! Service with a smile.

I had to do an Amazon UPS drop off and American Mail made the process so easy! They printed my return label free of charge and had me in and out in minutes. There's also the cutest pup possible hanging out in the lobby. Thanks American Mail! read more

I have had the good fortune of finding this place in 2004 while living inTijuana, MX. and being new to the area. through a few different owners it has remained a trusted and friendly place to receive mail and packages as well as other services. I highly recommend this business. Always friendly and reliable. read more

I'm sure this is a great place for some things! Super cute dog inside and nice guy.. however, I went to return a DVD via media mail (told it would be around $2 from the provider), and here I was charged over $6, and told he doubts it would be cheaper somewhere else. Went to the post office and it was $2.75. read more

I usually treat a trip to FedEx or the UPS store with a bit of dread, because you know it's going to be a trifle annoying and you're going to end up paying like $20 more than you expected to pay to ship something the weight of a pencil like 50 miles. And then there's American Mail & Package. After Comic-Con this year, I was left with an abundance of swag and nowhere in my travel bag to carry it. I went here to ship everything from San Diego to DC, and it couldn't have better a nicer or more pleasant experience. The woman running this place is one of the most genuinely nice people I've ever met in my life. From the moment we came in she was friendly, helpful and courteous. She let me and my girlfriend try out several different boxes to see how small we could contain everything, and when there were no prices on the boxes she just charged us $1 for each, when anywhere else they would have been $3-5 minimum. She even took $5 off the shipping price, since our package wouldn't qualify as USPS media mail and had to be shipped for a slightly higher rate. In the end, we shipped home a full box and a poster tube for $30, packaging included. At FedEx or UPS that would've easily topped $50. I don't live in San Diego, so I don't know if I'll ever be back at this location, but I can only hope locals in the area realize what a gem they have here. read more

I called the different mail and packaging places in the area, and this one had the best prices. Their hours are reasonable, mailbox access after hours is simple enough, and the owner is accommodating and friendly. Other mailbox places wanted to charge a $9 fee to file a change of address (whichis free at USPS offices), they didn't charge anything. I have always received my mail, and have quickly received email responses to any random questions I might have (forgotten lock combo, etc.). I was wary because of the low ratings, but this is a great business. read more

I was on vacation in San Diego and left some items at my hotel (luckily, the hotel saved them for me). The American Mail people were my heroes as they picked up the things I forgot at the hotel and shipped them to my home! They charged my credit card over the phone. The American Mail staff was super courteous, easy to work with and on it! read more

DO NOT SEND YOUR ITEMS THROUGH THIS COMPANY! This past January, I paid this mailing company over $250 to send 3 large boxes, around 30-50 lbs, from San Diego to Ohio. 3 months later I visited Ohio to find out my boxes were never delivered. I called the owner of the company, Ron on the phone to discuss this matter and he claims NO responsibility and for me to call Fed-Ex. I did this and Fed-Ex explained someone from this mailing place called in during the course of the delivery and changed the delivery address to Atlanta, GA! The name that was responsible was a previous employee of American Mail and Package. I called Ron back up and spoke with him, he told me he NEVER heard of this person! He has NO insurance to cover my packages me "lost". I put lost in quotes because I don't know if they were lost of stolen! To this day, I have none of my items and still he refuses to take responsibility for the losses! I'm going to go further with this and take this to small claims court and do my best to let everyone possible know this business shouldn't be in business! I don't want any business to have the ability to do what they've done to me! Bottom line, find another mail place, they're all over the place! Thanks. read more

This is a great local business. I just recently opened up a small box here and it has worked out great! It's all I need, the staff is friendly, available, and accommodating. Centrally located within the San Diego city area. It's perfect for me! They send e-mail notifications when you receive packages from UPS, FedEx, etc. They have a system that they scan everything, put a ticket in your box, automated e-mail, and then you just grab your ticket from your box and hand it to who's working and done! It's great! I will be using this service for a while, why I'm here in San Diego. Really good prices, customer service, and location create for a excellent business to be utilizced in the old town area of San Diego. read more

My wife and I needed some papers shredded and this place was a good call. Reasonable prices and the owner was very helpful and friendly. I'm definitely coming back for whatever I used to do at the fedex store. read more

Incredibly helpful! Will only be coming here going forward!! Chris was SO nice! So refreshing having someone kind and nice to help :)

Chris and his staff of (Daisey) are terrific!! They have always gone out of their way to help with all of my needs and then some. If you are looking for a mail service that goes beyond just the call of duty, give Chris a call and sign in here, you won't regret it! I've been here for over a year and wouldn't change services. read more

The service at this place is excellent. They have the best prices (i've shopped around) and Chris and his staff are wonderful,always so very helpful!. I mail all my packages from them and my husband has a mail box there as well,we've never had any issues. I highly recommend American Mail to everybody. They also sell really cute and unique greeting cards read more

I usually go to the post office to mail my boxes, but I chose American Mail because of the location convenience. Big mistake on my part!! Their prices are shockingly high! I had two USPS priority mail pieces that the post office charges $23.10 for both. American Mail charged $50.00 for both. The person working there originally said $56.00 and then gave me a discount of $6.00 when I expressed my shock! At that point I should have took my packages back and continued to the post office, but he had already labeled them. When I walked into the store it was a complete mess! Open boxes, empty boxes. A retail and service business should be attractive or at least presentable. I will never take my business there again. read more

I have been a customer of American Mail for about 4 years now. Chris has always been fair with all his products and services. It's greatly appreciated. If you need a mail box with a great address go see Chris! read more

went in with a box for a return told it was going to be $55.00 clerk suggested I call manufacturer and ask for a return shipping label got it! she saved me about 45.00 dollars thank you! read more

The service here is the greatest. Chris and staff are so very nice and we trust them completely to handle all of our packages (and there's a lot!). They have even gone out of there way to call us when things arrive and assist with out of the ordinary requests. If you are looking for friendly service, low costs and a trustworthy staff-- We highly recommend them! read more

Local Mom & Pop shop. Very friendly. The whole family was working the day I arrived. A bit chaotic, the store could use a face lift & some organization but they get the job done. No sales tax... read more

I had to send a Document out ASAP and their customer service made my stressful situation much better and easier to cope with...

Chris and his staff are very knowledgable of the industry and truly care about making each and every one of their customers happy. Great prices and quality service! read more

I had not send anything through American Mail in a while ... and this last time I went there to my surprise, it was under new management, the new owners are so nice and the establishment looks great now! Whenever I am in the area and need to send anything I will be going back to them to get great service and avoid the long lines at the post office! read more

This place is so bad I suspect nefarious activity. I receive a Fed Ex notice that a package has been delivered, yet they say there IS no package. A lot of arguing and running around and finally they produce the package from a back room (?!) Today, January 23, 2013, they handed me a package that had been delivered on DECEMBER 18, 2012!! Only 6 weeks late!! It was a Christmas present! Great to receive that at the end of January. Unfortunately, our accounts are all paid up a year in advance, but this place is so bad we are thinking of closing our mail box anyway. You cannot be assured this place will accurately and honestly handle your mail or packages. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! read more

Helpful service with a custom shipping box, this place did the trick on short notice.

Under new management. I know if you look a lot of the older reviews are negative, I've been there several times within the last 2 months and have had nothing but positive experiences. The staff is super friendly and helpful, if you've had a bad experience with them in the past, don't let that turn you off, there's a new sheriff in town as the saying goes and so far he's pretty nice. read more

The service here is great! I've been a customer here for years and they've always done right by me. They answer the phone, tell me if I have packages and are all around helpful. I highly recommend them for any of your mailing, mailbox or packing needs read more

So I go to pick up my mail and noticed the ownership changed & prices went up. Well After so many years of having the same prices, I guess we were due. They are still the cheapest guys in town and they are fixing up the place. Looking so very different & still great service. I hear we are getting bill pay back!! Thank you guys, keep up the good work and best of luck on your new business! read more

If you're looking for a reliable shipping source, look no further. It's located right off of the 8 and the 5 at Sports Arena making it very accessible. Christian and his staff strive to serve all of your needs while saving you money without the corporate jive. No where else in San Diego has these prices with this level of service. I run an eBay business and American Mail has taken care of my shipping for years with no problems. I can call in to see if I have any mail which saves me a ton of time and gas. They also don't pad their shipping costs with exorbitant prices. Whether it's just checking mail or running a big operation, this is the most dependable business around. read more

I am an incomplete Parapalgia. I have had a mail box here for nearly 5 years. I went in today and had a Tv to pick up I had ordered from Amazon. Christian did load it in my truck for me. I asked him to grab the mail out of my box because I didn't have my key with me. He told me he could charge me for another key but could not grab my mail for me. It took him 40 seconds to tell me this. He could have grabbed my mail for me in less than 30 seconds. Unbelievable !! How rude to do to a disabled person . If I had not had the address for so long I'd move my mailbox . This guy is out of his mind. That is not the way to generate more income. read more

I work walking distance from this business, and needed to drop off a dress I had rented from Rent the Runway before noon. This business came up on the UPS website as being an "access point," so I figured I'd just walk over on my 15 minute break. Checked the hours online beforehand, but when I went over on a Monday morning at 10am and they were closed. Doors locked, lights off, obviously nobody was inside, but the sign on the front of the store said they were open (just as it had online). read more

Huge thanks to Francis at American Mail & Package when we left some important items behind in San Diego. She worked with me to get the best price and fastest shipping, and called me back as soon as she had tracking so I could track it too. They did everything they promised, quotes were exact, and we really appreciate their excellent customer service! read more

As a follow up from my 5-10-13 review, I feel it proper to point out for the sake of transparency that aside from excellent service... I've received no payment of any type in exchange for my review(s). I am simply motivated by kindness. The owners of this joint are kind to say the least. On more than one occasion I've been spared a late fee & offered a discounted fax rate. All customers experience identical treatments... Understanding & Kindness. read more

Excellent service. I have been with them for more than 15 years and they have always been gracious. They forward my mail wherever I am in the world and all my important mail goes there. Christian sends me an email when something important has been delivered. i love the location, so centrally located and has easy access from freeways. read more

A few weeks ago my wife and I opened a mailbox over the phone. we are moving back San Diego and need a location to receive our mail for a few months. Within a few minutes I was done. Thank you read more

They messed up the labeling on a package they tried to send for me, so FedEx sent it back to them. I drove back over, repacked it, and resent it, but despite the fact that American Mail messed up the shipping, they wouldn't take responsibility for their mistake and I had to pay for shipping it TWICE. Avoid this place. read more

I found this place because I couldn't send packages to my p.o. box, American Mail has a lot of different services besides mail box rental. The provide paper shredding, they provide notary services, and they make keys. I've bought cards for important dates here and so much more. Plus I always get a friendly greeting from a furry friend who plays with my daughter when we pick up our mail. Very nice business owner I've been picking up my mail here for over two years. read more

Unbeatable service, they remember your name and take care of every need. I have used various mailbox services for over 20 years and never received this kind of personal attention until I came to American Mail. read more

WOW, I am impressed by he quality of service they offer here. Opened my very first mail box today and was blown away by the professional service I was given. It's extremely hard to find good service like this any more. Christian walked me through everything i needed to know for my new mail box and also told me about the other service they offered. I will definitely be a long time customer! read more
