Great experience at this shop! I recently sold a bulky item via ebay (as a novice ebay seller). Zarina and her staff guided me through the experience: finding the best box for me (and offering to manufacture odd-sized boxes if needed), providing other necessary packing materials, and helping to decipher my ebay shipping printout. Thanks for everything! My family and I will be back! read more

Excellent service. Great neighborhood place and Zarina is very helpful. We are lucky to have this place here.

I have a post office box with Zarina and she is first-class, all the way down the line. Extremely courteous and competent--just a lovely person. I couldn't ask for better. A credit to the community. read more

I had a very disappointing experience here. The store is chaotic and disorganized and dumpy, and the person in charge had no idea what they were doing. The prices were sky high and it took 20 minutes to complete my transaction. They wanted to charge me $30 to mail an envelope--that was the cheapest option. I drove over to the post office at 38th and High Street where they mailed it for $8.40 and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Never coming back to this store. read more

Horrible Experience. I shipped out a FedEx package with them recently and the package was never sent out. I returned to the store with my receipt and tracking information. I was being very polite and cooperative. The lady who helped me was very rude and refused to help. She gave me dirty looks and kept brushing me off. She blamed me for lying about it not being sent out and repeatedly insisted that she could not do anything. I showed proof of payment and tracking information. I had all the receipts and proof. I understand if there wasn't much she could do, but the way she spoke to me and treated me was unprofessional. Be aware if you are about to ship something here. There is a possibility that your package will not be sent out. Once you question them about it, they will blame you and do nothing about it. Do not do business here. Go to your local FedEx. read more

Wow, mj, you seem to dislike not just Postal Plus but darned near everything, judging by your other reviews. Everyone is rude and mean and out to get you. Maybe it's you. Anyway, PP is a fine place with friendly service and while mj thinks they charge too much, they are the cheapest joint in town. ($1.00 for color copies of top-notch quality?? Try getting that at Kinkos.) They are friendly and the woman mj refers to so dismissingly is as patient as Job. I'd recommend this place to anyone with one major caveat: they're small and mom-and-pop, so they don't have the largest selection or the widest variety of services. But if they have what you do need, this is the place to get it. read more

I'm a mailbox holder here and I think no matter where I move in Oakland I'll just have to keep my box here : ) I love the owner Zirina. She will go out of her way for you. Forget the UPS Store...Support a local business and also at the same time get excellent customer service. read more

They closed 10 minutes early on a Saturday. I just rushed to get here and now I can't ship my packages. VERY frustrating!

This spot is close to home and I was in a rush, so it was a huge convenience. The woman who helped me was very friendly but the print process seemed fishy. No discount for bringing in your own paper, and $1.00 per color copy on plain paper. Also the sales lady tried to convince me to get copies instead of prints which is a sneaky way of lowering resolution and saving ink and $. I needed exact, good quality prints so I refused her copying the original print. For this she charged me an additional $5. saying if she has to use her computer there is a $5. charge. There were no signs or pamphlets informing people of this charge and it felt like a spiteful, made-up charge. It is too bad that such a close-to-home print shop is such a rip off. read more

Out of pure convenience, I have done business with this establishment one too many times. Most of the time, I handle the unfriendly, salty staff and their relaxed use of masks because I am in and out of the building pretty fast. However, today, this establishment could not assist me with a package that FedEx is stating was never picked up. Direct from the employee, Postal Plus bears no responsibility to pre paid FedEx labels that are dropped off at their location. They are an agent. They have no scanning of packages that come in and out that are FedEx. I was not aware that a business handling USPS and FedEx could claim that. They turned me away with no help except to contact FedEx continually. I'm uncertain if my items are lost, but I do know that responsibility for items in your establishment should be priority. I recommend anyone in Glenview to choose another location. Even with tracking paperwork and proper identification of my package, Postal Plus still could not help me because they never documented that my package was being held there. read more

It's fairly easy to park (for a commercial district) and the lines are short. It can take a LONG time to pick up a package. The last two times the woman at the front desk told me the package wasn't there, even after she "checked the system". After insisting it was there, she found it. Today she couldn't find it all. I suggest putting labels A-F, G-K, and so on the wall and sorting packages to make locating packages more efficient. She seems to be delayed with customers who don't have a mailbox there, as those who do have their packages set aside for them. read more

I love Zarina and Postal Plus. I have had a mailbox there for over one and one half years and it is always a pleasure to go there. Zarina is always extemely pleasant and professional and ridiculously nice. I have never had a problem sending nor receiving packages there. She goes above and beyond. I would never get a USPS post office box again nor would I rely on the mail carrier/fedex/UPS, etc. to make it to my home when I can instead have all deliveries be signed for by her. And she always tries to find the cheapest way to ship. I love that! read more

I have had my mailbox here for over a decade. The owner is wonderful, even unlocked the door for me when she was closed and on her way to an appointment. She always prioritizes service, is efficient and cheerful. I started going here when a USPS worker kept delivering me the wrong mail and I wasn't getting some key pieces of mail delivery. Renting a mail box here is cheap in comparison to getting fined for not receiving important mail... read more

As someone else said: "Postal Plus has everything you want in a local business: Personalized, friendly service and convenience." They accept drop offs for UPS, FedEx, and USPS. Pickup times (as of Nov 2013): UPS overnight - 4pm UPS 2nd day and ground - 5:30pm FedEx Express - 4:30pm FedEx, other - 2pm USPS - 4pm You can definitley find these items cheaper elsewhere, but they've got a good selection of greeting cards and stickers (for kids). They also have a few office supplies that could get you by in a pinch. read more

We love Postal Plus. They are reliable friendly and always professional.

Both my wife and I have been using Postal Plus for years. Zarina has a quiet competence. Whether it is managing shipments, handling notary requests or faxing Zarina provides quick and efficient service. We are lucky to have the shop in our neighborhood. read more

I used this service to mail a large, bulky package, and I was treated to customer service that was as good as it gets. Zarina worked with the packaging to get the cost down for me, and gave me a price lower by far than anyplace else I called. She's an example of a sole proprietor who takes full responsibility for running a great business. I saw many "regulars" come in for their mail, and others to use other services, and all were treated very respectfully. Use this service if you need a box, or to ship anything. Or for office supplies. (Lots of little treasures here too!) I'd love us all to support local businesses like this. read more

We used Postal Plus for a few years when we lived in Montclair. Zarina did a great job managing our mail while we traveled. Highly recommend. read more

The woman who runs this mail center is very friendly and helpful. I have never had any issues here.

My package was right there in the front. The older lady kept telling me it never arrived. I knew what it was supposed to look like. I said it is right there behind you. She seemed too tired to take two steps and look at the label. She just wanted to stand there and say it was not there, come back another time. After begging for the package with my slip, she finally gave it to me. Of course, making me show an ID. I hope it was an honest mistake and not because of you know what...... read more

I just showed up there for the 2nd time at around 9:20am and the business was closed. The store hours on the sign in the door as well as on Yelp say it opens at 9am. I was in a rush to catch a flight and was not able to hang around to see when the proprietor will make it there or come back later -- nor do I want to. I consider it very unprofessional to not show up during opening hours, and it's super lame as well! At the very least change the store hours! read more

Very disappointed. I shipped a portable air conditioner and their packaging did nothing to protect the appliance. They did not cushion the bottom at all. Two pieces of cardboard only. Really? Of course, the rollers on the bottom were destroyed and Postal Plus took no responsibility. They made Fed Ex pay for the appliance. Instead of getting it shipped properly, I had to make an insurance claim and then go out and buy a new one and dispose of the old one. I fear they don't know what they are doing. Imagine sending out a heavy appliance without a single layer of padding on the bottom. read more

Been going here for years! This is the best for mail box services, shipping, greeting cards, Office supplies, copying and notary services. The owner is super nice and really cares about her customers. You will leave with a smile! read more

Great Glenview shop. The owner is very helpful and friendly. Never balks on giving me multiple time/cost estimates and helpful in choosing the right one (not always obvious). I've also run in there with poorly taped boxes and she's helped me out. Everything I have ever shipped from here arrives on time! read more

Zarina is a total pro. She helped me with a UPS claim, and was courteous and knowledgable about the entire process. Will be back for all my packing and shipping needs. read more

I can't believe it's taken me months to write this glowing review! Zarina at Postal Plus saved my bacon! My associate needed me to hunt down some plants in our neighborhood and ship them to her overnight to Los Angeles. I walked into Postal Plus and told Zarina I needed a way to ship 3 plants to LA and ensure they did not die from either cold or being squeezed tightly in a box. She tried a couple of packaging options that would keep them in place, added styrofoam peanuts to cushion them if the box was flipped upside down and to keep them warm for the flight to LA. She was under a tight timeline as she was expecting the afternoon pick-up of packages and and she was aware there would be little profit in this transaction. Regardless, she went the extra mile to help me! Thank you so much Zarina!! read more

I have loved coming here for many years because Zarina is such a delightful proprietor who truly knows the shipping business and always offers professional customer service. I know that she will work to find the most efficient and cost effective shipping solution, all while having a terrific attitude and willingness to please. The mom and pop model of business is becoming extinct and I always feel better about supporting Postal Plus. read more

Being a business owner myself, I decided to get a P.O. BOX with a person who can sign for my packages etc..... I'm forever running late, last minute, pushed for time. The owner is wonderful very kind and pleasant. I usually have to call her a dozen times checking to see if mail is there for me & she is so warm,sweet & professional. I'm very pleased to patronize a business that is consistent in excellent service. No complaints all compliments!! read more

Yay! The kind and helpful Zarina that manages (owns?) the shop helped me packed up two frozen peach pies (from Pietisserie here in Oakland) for overnight delivery to my father for his birthday on the East Coast. They arrived still frozen 15 hours later. Thanks you, Postal Plus! read more

Friendly and professional! She knows me when I walk in (and my mother and husband). Great customer service. Would definitely recommend for those seeking a box. read more
