    Out of the Box Mail & Shipcenter

    Out of the Box Mail & Shipcenter

    (100 reviews)

    On February 25 around 4:55, I arrived at this shipping center to pickup my correspondences and…read morepackages. I have been a long customer and mail box renter since 2010. I have seen many personnel turnovers, and have had many wonderful and less than wonderful experience in the past, but nothing as annoying and degrading as what was experienced on this particular day: Upon arrival a lady seated in the shouts: hey, I noticed you receive a lot of envelopes, would you want me to secure them in a clip and hold them for you?" I, wasn't sure what she was implying or asking however, I sensed she was trying to do something "good" for me as she has always been polite, respectful and gracious in the past. So, while I was trying to comprehend the gibberish, another receptionist, a male dragged out my two packages, walked up to the computer and said:" Also, I just want to let you know that your mail box was due on February 17..." This was uncalled for, rude and aggressive, needless to say untruthful. I told him that I had already paid on February 20th through their website to which he replied, well the payment is not registered in our system." Oh really, that shows your system is either incompetent, flawed or is designed to defraud the customer as you are through shame trying to extract a second payment from me. I told him to check the stores website, he peevishly checked and said: Ah, yeah, I see a payment for $66 (Three months rental, which goes up every year from $2 to $4) but it doesn't have your name." I asked: "If online payments are an effective option to submit payment, why are you putting me through this uncomfortable situation? How many people have you confronted for non payment because of the same flawed communication between the website that collects your payment system and the computer in front of you? He mentioned the owner again and said he understand my frustration. Here is the thing, I found his approach was infuriating. He should had checked the website that collects payments before assuming my payment was delinquent and much before approaching me with a false accusation. Also, why not drop a written note on the mail box a week before the payment is due? Anyhow, I proceeded to ask what was the problem with the glitch and he said he had no idea and will speak to the owner about it. In my opinion the mail box rental goes up because, "everything goes up, right? " Then how come customer service and competence remains the same and or even down? Second issue, we are charged for a key that unlocks the front door after duty hours, this is part of the rental agreement. The front door lock has been broken for a week and this service is not offered, even though you are paying for it. Lastly, In my opinion, The payment glitch issue is designed to defraud those vulnerable, like the elders and other people afraid to speak up. If I this doesn't change I will be forced to file a fraud complain with the Long Beach's Chamber of Commerce and the Better Business Bureau.

    AMAZING customer service. They are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, all around fantastic!!! I used…read morethem to ship items and they always help me out.

    I've watched my post office change over the years for better and for worse…read more They closed the mail pick-up line that used to be near the front entrance/P.O. Boxes and moved the services to the main line to the right. Pens for packages usually have to be asked for here since they're a hot commodity. Recently, my building had a mailbox key access issue and the post office took a month to repair/replace it. This caused residents to have to come in for mail pick-up, which got a bit messy. At one point, my blind mother went in to pick up her mail and someone released the entire building's mail to her. Thankfully she asked my SO for help sorting it which sent flags up to him to immediately return everything that wasn't hers. He explained the situation and the post office has seemingly taken things more seriously. The clerks? (not sure of the proper verbiage here) seem overworked and exhausted. I wish people were nicer to them despite their frustrations. It's better to stop in instead of calling for things, or set up a USPS account online where you can manage some things.

    Was trying to use the kiosk and as it was printing my qr scans I got a blue screen saying it was…read moreupdating, I went to the counter for help and to actually pay for the items I was shipping not with QR code scans and the clerk number 9 based on receipts the lady with the braids was super rude and like oh if you're scanning you can't use this line it's for paying guests. First excuse you, and second I was paying for the other items I was shipping and 3rd I need prints of my prepaid labels since your machine decided to update now of all moments. The staff just seems miserable here and bothered if you actually need human help it seems

    As someone who mostly goes to the UPS store because i'm the unfortunate sucker who multiple times a…read moreyear has to ship gifts to our remote team, i feel it's a little unfair to write this - since i only drop in as part of a work project i usually resent. I've been going here for years, since LONG before it changed ownership. Sometimes lines are long; sometimes they aren't. Regardless, they scan my packages, and they arrive at their locations - often a little late, despite me always selecting overnight delivery, but that's not this location's fault (I assume). I will say that the new franchise owners are a little more pleasant than the former; I think she'd grown jaded, and as such I kind of totally got it the next time I walked in and she wasn't there - good for you, girl, for selling and moving on. I love that the new team is always hanging out, being real; i feel more at home, tbh. I will say that of the three area UPS stores i've ever had a reason to check out, this is consistently the best. And at least if you wait in line for ages, you can pop over to Steel Cup next door for something good on your way out (coffee/beer/lunch/breakfast/mimosas) - or, if it's been an annoying enough experience, across the lot to Blondies for the hard stuff. in sum, it's a UPS store. if they get your packages out, i mean, that's a win, right?

    I've actually had good experiences here in the past with the owner, Terry, as well as the two…read moreyounger guys who usually work the afternoon/early evening shift. They've always been helpful and easy to deal with. Unfortunately, my experience with the woman who works the morning shift (middle-aged blonde hair) has been consistently unpleasant. She never seems to be in a good mood, and today was especially off-putting. I stopped by to pick up my mailbox key after being told by the owner that it was ready. She located the key in a small envelope and literally tossed it across the counter to me. I was honestly taken aback and said "Geez," and she responded with "Have a good day!!" in a very sarcastic, demeaning tone. This isn't the first issue I've had with her. When I initially came in to set up a mailbox, she told me the system was down and that I needed to come back later. I later found out that wasn't true--it seemed more like she either didn't want to help or didn't know how to process it. Based on other reviews, it sounds like I'm not the only one who's had this experience with her. It's unfortunate because the rest of the staff has been great, but interactions like this make it hard to want to come back.
