Had a great experience here. Kathy set me up with a mailbox...the process was quick and easy. I def recommend you come in for all of your mailing and mailbox needs! Thanks Kathy :) read more

I waited until my final day of mailbox service to post this review because I was genuinely concerned that raising additional concerns beforehand could negatively affect my ability to access my mail. After more than 10 years as a customer, my mailbox was terminated within hours of sending a professional email simply asking what was going on, how long I should reasonably wait, & trying to understand why employees repeatedly failed to open during posted business hours. During an in person discussion the following day, before hearing my explanation, the owner immediately asked me to hand over my phone, which I declined because it is my personal property. I was not rude. I was trying to access a service I pay for. The timing of that decision speaks for itself. Ironically, the employee later apologized & said he would speak with the owner on my behalf. I have been a mailbox customer for over a decade. Under prior ownership, service was reliable & professional. Since the ownership change, there has been a decline in consistency, communication, professionalism & frequent staff turnover. I gradually found myself coming in less often, grabbing my mail & leaving quickly to avoid unnecessary interaction. Here is my experience: April 14 Arrived at approximately 9:00 AM, their posted opening time. The employee did not arrive until around 9:20 to 9:25 AM. I gave grace. He said he had been involved in an altercation before arriving. April 18 Arrived at opening. Gates were still down. No staff present & customers were waiting. I had to get to work, so I left. Unable to access my mailbox again. April 20 Called to confirm that someone would be present at 9:00 AM the following morning. I was told yes. April 21 Arrived at 9:00 AM, the posted opening time, & waited until 9:45 AM. No one ever showed up. During that time, I watched multiple customers come to the door only to find the business closed. I called & emailed because I needed access to my packages & had planned my morning around their posted hours before work. I was trying to find out how long to wait. The initial email response I received that morning was apologetic. Later that same day, without any further communication from me, the tone shifted completely & I was told to come pick up my mail because my mailbox service was being terminated. April 22 I returned to speak with the owner in person. I approached calmly at 9:00 AM & asked if she had a moment because I wanted to discuss her email from the night before informing me that my mailbox would be closed. I explained that I felt it was unfair because I had simply pointed out that employees were not there & was trying to understand how long I should wait after waiting 45 minutes the day before. Before I could fully explain the situation, the first thing she said was, "Give me your phone." I declined because it is my personal property. During the conversation, I was repeatedly interrupted & not allowed to fully speak. I attempted to provide proof that the employee was not there, but she refused to hear it & continued cutting me off. I was told they can open & close whenever they want, families have emergencies & things happen, I should just keep coming back to check whether they were open, & that I was "harassing employees" for trying to confirm whether someone would be there. For clarity, I have never had any direct exchange with the employee she referenced, nor have I engaged in behavior that could reasonably be considered harassment. My communication was limited to calling & emailing because I did not want to continue waiting outside a closed business without knowing if anyone was coming. When I asked how I should have handled it differently, I was told to keep coming back & check whether they were open. As a paying mailbox customer, that is not a reasonable expectation. Customers rely on posted hours to access their mail. Repeatedly being unable to do so raises serious concerns about reliability & whether the service being provided aligns with what is being advertised. After over 10 years as a customer, I was given a limited period to retrieve & transfer my mail despite being in the middle of a move, receiving packages, traveling & not realistically being able to change all of my mailing information within 30 days. I explained my circumstances & after a long conversation was given 60 days instead. There was also a prior issue in 2024 where my mailbox access was restricted over a late payment. I resolved that payment immediately once I became aware of it, but the handling of that situation also felt unfair. Taken together, these incidents left me feeling that mailbox access can be restricted or terminated very quickly if concerns are raised. This reflects a pattern of unreliable access, inconsistent communication & dismissive handling of customer concerns. If you need dependable access to your mail, especially for anything time sensitive, I would strongly reconsider using this location. read more

Tried to ship out a UPS package using a QR code and she was very rude and turned me away immediately without attempting to help ...

I would say you may be able to find a better deal at a live scan place elsewhere but they were able to help me out for what I needed done. Make sure the person typing in your information does so correctly. read more

Store was clean, average customer service, I was surprised to find a 5$ charge for printing out their shipping labels. I have never been charged this before kinda seems like it would've been included with the 100$ shipping charge. read more

They charge $1 for tape to close your small box. I get it if it was multiple large boxes, but to nickle-and-dime a $1 for maybe .4 cents worth of tape? And they will not budge--gotta have that $1; if not, let the customer walk out and go 1/4 mile to AIM (Atlanta/Magnolia Sts)--who laughed at HB Ship & Mail's $1 tape policy. It's such BAD business. What's next HB Ship & Mail--$2.50 to use your pens? read more

Revolving door with owners and employees! Seems to be hit and miss on customer service. Today fast and courteous service, although employees were obviously new (trial and error on paperwork) and took longer than should have to ship UPS package. BTW - business card now HB Ship & Mail. read more

Came here a few days ago to get something notarized. The girl that did the notary for me was so nice and helpful with everything.

I had to come here to get Live Scan fingerprints for a new job. Employer provided me the information, I found this was the closest location (from Long Beach). Girl at the counter initially couldn't find my appointment but showed her the confirmation on my cell phone and got started. You get to "do this yourself", rather than having someone manipulate your digits (rolling my third fingers are not fun as I'm not super-flexible). There's a certain finesse you need to use or you need to do it again, but you'll get the hang of it after a few times. Bonus was I didn't have to pay for it, but would've been nice if there was a closer provider. read more

I just wanted to give a "shout out" to Valarie. I believe she's the manager and if not, she should be. I was impressed with her friendly disposition and she gets an A+ for her customer service skills. I'm a pretty new customer, but I see that Valerie really handles her job efficiently and that's important as I am entrusting my personal business and mail service to her and the owner of this really nice storefront establishment. I like the location being close to shopping and such, and easy to get to. I like that I can check my mail 24 hours a day. They also provide a lot of other services, like notary and I was able to drop off my FedEx return package there also. I think you'll be pleased with their service as well. read more

I was there yesterday! The place is under new management and it shows!! The office was spick and span AND streamlined!! The new owner is so pleasant and eager to be helpful!! Mr. Kim even offered me a chair while he worked on my packages. Because I also bought a card and needed to fill it out, he even offered me sparkling water!! Because he is a new owner, I hope lots of people will do business with him and spread the word to your neighbors and friends!!! read more

I had to mail something out of the country for the first time and came here because I was told to mail it DHL and they were listed on the website. The young woman that helped me was so kind and patient. She waited for me to call my friend...not once but twice... to verify how to write the address on the package, given again it is not a US address and different. I came there initially to mail it DHL but she also gave me the different options and costs from different carriers to make the cost a little more bearable. I will absolutely be using them from here on out. Can't believe they don't have 5 stars from everyone! read more

Love the new ownership. Facility is clean. Staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of best way to ship.

I have been using A1-Mail for over 6 years now and I have always been more than happy with their service. I use their mailbox service because it's an actual mailing address and not a PO Box. They send a payment text a month prior to my yearly renewal which is great because it's something one can easily forget. If it's just to pick up my mail, ship out a package, or return an Amazon purchase, I get the the same friendly treatment everytime. I highly recommend them for all your mailing needs.

It had been a long time since I was A-1 Mail Stop. Thanks to all the reviews, I decided to go to them to ship a return. They were the best!!

So glad to hear A-1 Mail Stop is under new management!!! Needed a package out today and didn't want to go to post office! I was thrilled that they are under new management (Andrew) as I had sworn off ever going there again due to really poor service from old owner. I was greeted by a VERY busy lady. Her name is Valerie. Although she was there alone and had a little line forming, she kept her cool and started multi-tasking. She had a great attitude and went out of her way to get me the best deal for my shipment. The place is nicely renovated. I will be returning. Thank you Valerie! read more

Last year, this business went under new ownership. The old owners had the place really messy but service was cheap, fast & always accurate. The new owners really made a difference in the appearance of the store but what I didn't like was how much crap talk the young lady working felt the need to share with me while I was in there. She complained A LOT about the way the place was ran by the old owners and the customers. They raised the prices of many services but it was comparable to other stores...it was just super cheap before. Apparently many customers took issue with that. I get it, and we all need to vent sometimes - but call a friend, don't do it with your customer's cause I don't want to hear it. It really turned me off to the place. The last time I used them, the young girl was going on and on with her complaints and ended up messing up on a package I was mailing. We were able to get everything resolved in a couple days but if she as more focused on her job I don't think the error would have been made. Now that the fees are comparable, I would recommend going somewhere else. read more
