The people at Goin' Postal really know what they are doing! I was impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. After a few disastrous encounters with the UPS and USPS, I will continue to come to Goin' Postal for all my shipping and printing needs. They also offer notary and mobile notary services. Oh and almost forgot, they make keys as well! Talk about a one-stop shop read more

This was my first and last time dropping off packages here. I dropped off two packages to be returned to Verizon through UPS on Tues. By Wed morning there was no confirmation from Verizon that they were being shipped back to them. No tracking number or anything. I revisited the place 5 different times this week trying to resolve it with no solution to the problem. UPS had no info about them and neither did the worker at going postal. So packages lost with no help from either Co. Ended up having to call Verizon myself and explaining what happened. They thankfully took care of it for me so that I wouldn't be charged for there mistake. The customer service was not all that great. When you tell someone that your going to call them with a solution you should prob do it. I will not be giving them my service again. If I didn't take care of it myself I would have been charged for there mistake read more

First and LAST time I ever attend this place. I went in to do a Happy Return for the first time. The older gentleman working there was completely rude/unprofessional and did not make any attempt to help or listen to me as I read return directions. I grabbed my items and walked out. read more

The older gentleman that's works there is rude and very unprofessional. He acts like he is doing you a favor by doing his job. I've used this location twice and he ruined both experiences. The place is dirty and it stinks. read more

I dropped off a box containing a phone that I was sending to Apple, but when Apple received the package, the phone was missing, and the box was empty. This is extremely frustrating and unacceptable. I entrusted this business with my shipment, and I cannot believe that such a thing occurred. I hope the business contacts me about this. Apple and FedEx are opening an investigation read more

I use this company all the time for all my postal needs , the man at the counter is always friendly and ready to help. It's close by where I live and when I drop off my packages He gives me a receipt , which comes in handy . read more

Personal are rude place always smells bad. I don't recommend this business to anyone not even an enemy. I try 2 times giving them the benefit but they have no clue of what costumer service means. Do yourselves a favor and stay away from this business. read more

I've used this place off and on for several years and have always had a good experience. The gentleman behind the counter is always helpful and pleasant. read more

Do not use this location. They will loose your mail and not take any kind of accountability. The old man behind the counter also drags his feet and doesn't move with any kind of enthusiasm to do his job as if he's doing you a favor. Do not use this location if you want a 100% guarantee that your mail will be delivered to you, it's a 50/50 chance. read more

This is my go to place to mail all my packages. I've been coming here for years and I've never had an issue.

Well, since posting about this lost package it has been found. I definitely still have concerns about the employee's ability to instill confidence in the process and I should have received a better response initially.....however things have improved so I wanted to acknowledge that. They are trying. read more

This was not a helpful transaction and it caused more trouble than if we had just gone next business day to the Post Office. We tried this spot based on its weekend hours, location and how there never seems to be anyone in here - no line ups. Giving an additional star as the weekend gal was sweet but needs further training beyond perhaps just selling a book of US stamps. We had one small box to send to Canada. I asked for a customs form as one has to write contents of package along with values of each re International mail. She had no clue. She ended up calling the owner at home for advice. Geez. Really? I was asked to write each item from box and value on a receipt/paper. No form. What? Then apparently, the owner would type it up and print it for our package next day and THEN I would get a tracking #? They know what to do, right? This is a legit business? I left trying to feel confident that the box would make it to it's destination but I had an uneasy feeling after we paid the fee and said bye to our box. Sure enough, next day, owner/manager called stating we owed another $50 to send the box. Hubby had to leave work, pick up box, get a cash refund and went to the Camino Media Post Office where they actually know what they are doing. They charged us appropriately, and mailed off our package with proper forms. read more

I do all of my shipping through Goin' Postal. They've been friendly when I'm purchasing through them or even if I'm just dropping off packages because it's way closer than the post office. I've been waiting for them to get annoyed having me in and out every day, instead they are just friendly and kind. Thanks for saving me gas and offering a friendly smile as well. read more

Dale is a model for great customer service. He helped me navigate sending a package internationally and was genuinely committed to the process. He was a delight. Thank you! read more

Friendly staff. Helpful. Sweet. TONS of shipping supplies. They have never been out of something I needed. Clean, quick, efficient. NO LINES. Brilliant. I seriously love this place and it comes in handy so often. They're a really great business and support lots of local sports teams + organizations. To say the staff is friendly is an understatement. They go above + beyond to save you money. They're wonderful. I definitely recommend using them when you want to avoid the long lines at the post office. Which is all the time. read more

I mail everything for the business as well as my personal things! ... it's also great for those Amazon returns I get my tracking sent to my email quickly and they always find me the best and most cost effective shipping rates for all my packages and letters! read more

On December 21, I went to Goin Postal to send a card certified mail. It was going to Tulare. 64 miles north of Bakersfield. The clerk was preoccupied with trying to send "medicine" to Iran for a "Doctor". I paid over $9.00 postage, got my receipt and left. I tracked my parcel until it came back New Years Eve, $7.15 postage due. I called Goin Postal and they said they would "make it right ". But they can't. There was a Christmas card and two gift cards in that parcel. One for WinCo for my nieces and her 5 children's Christmas dinner. And a gift card for Christmas gifts for the children. I will take care of it myself. I know I can trust me. read more

Excellent location and customer service. Getting email and text notice when mail arrives is much appreciated.

I received the best service the other day at goin postal. The girl there was very helpful and she was able to get me taken care of very quickly! I will recommend this place to all my friends and family from now on! read more

Felt like they were shoving their political agenda in my face. When I go to a store I don't want to be reminded about who they voted for, just need to get my business done and be on my way. read more

These people treat me well. If they don't have something they will help find it for you. A little too right wing nut job but as long as they don't force it on me. read more

I love coming here. You are in and out in nothing flat. They always have the envelopes, boxes, and packaging extras stuff needed. No matter who is working, they always have awesome attitudes. Love coming here. read more

This place use to be my go to spot. Quick and convenient. But recently they've started charging $1 per box being dropped off for UPS! I'm not talking about an additional service fee for labels they are making and printing out, I'm talking about prepaid labels you put on the box yourself at home. No it's not a a lot of money but it's certainly irritating when no other mail place does this. It isn't a great way to treat their loyal customers who have given them a lot of business. read more

Don't go to the post office and stand in line. Go here. Very friendly and helpful. They will save you time and money.

Helpful staff. Relatively efficient interaction. They stock most shipping supplies, although they didn't have legal size envelopes when I stopped in. They gave me a dropoff receipt and I was good to go. They also support a lot of local sports by the looks of it, so there is another plus. read more

My wife and I had Goin Postal do the packaging of 6 dinner plates and ship it via FEDEX. There was no waiting in line and he did a wonderful packaging of the plates with much care. I would recommend anyone who wants great service, no lines and a great attitude of service. read more

Closed early without notice. They advertise that they close at 7:00, It's only 4:30 and there's a note on the door saying they left to go trick or treating. Seems very early to close up. Very inconvenient. read more

I recently used Goin' Postal for shipping an eBay sale. It was quick, easy, and the staff were wonderful to deal with. However, dark clouds appeared on the horizon when UPS decided to drop-kick the package and destroy it's contents. UPS immediately denied the claim- but Gary and Goin Postal stepped in and handled everything. This is a locally owned and operated business that cares about their customers and their reputation. Support them; they are more than worth it! read more
