In a world where everything is about speed, it's such a welcome sight to see people who are still dedicated to taking the time to help you with their expertise. I stopped by on a weekday morning with some fragile items. Shipping can be tricky because you don't always have standard mailing sizes at home, but the team here was so awesome in helping me measure, pack, and choose a shipping option that was economical and made sense. I'll admit that I like the USPS's pick up feature at my door, but this was well worth it! Great price and friendly people. Definitely recommend stopping by for all your shipping needs -- whether it be UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, etc. Oh and, if you're looking for stationary or small gifts they have those too! I also noticed they sell coffee :) read more

Best place for us ever. Got wonderful passport photos done there and have mailed letters and packages too. I have also succumbed to buying wonderful chocolates there for Valentines Day etc. Stop by and enjoy. Robert M. read more

The staff acted irresponsibly. The shipment was dropped off at 3:34 PM on 06/12/2025, but the label was created only after 6:00 PM, according to USPS tracking information. Despite their claims that USPS picked up the item promptly, the package was actually held for two days and only picked up on 06/14. USPS is now uncertain about the delivery date. I can no longer trust "postal work "due to this poor handling. read more

8/2023 update: Tracy copied large bundles of documents and magically got them to fit into small-ish pre-stamped envelopes. She was fast, friendly, and very capable. 7/2023: Claudia was wonderful. She copied 4 bundles of documents, helped me keep everything in order, then sealed and taped the large mailer shut in preparation for mailing. The copier machine was incredibly fast, and the copies were only 10 cents each. This is definitely my new go to place for copying. They also have a cute gift section in the front of the store. read more

They are so kind and helpful here, just take whatever you want mailed and they will help you figure out the best way to get it there.

I highly recommend this business! Tracy helped me yesterday notarize a document and was really so professional, patient and friendly throughout the whole process. It was much appreciated! Along with the many services offered, this store has a great supply of gift items for sale. My daughter has successfully picked out gift items for her friends there many times. I personally enjoy the collection of chocolate imported eg. Twirl, buttons, lion bars etc.. which reminds me of growing up in Dublin. read more

Quick and easy with lots of cute cards and junk in case you forgot Grandma's birthday.

The people who work at Postal Works off 185th are without question the loveliest group of postal-type workers in the universe! They look for the cheapest option available for you without being asked, explain the differences, and then do what you request efficiently and with an awesome attitude. They are just genuinely helpful and seem to care about your experience there. I haven't been anywhere else in several years unless it's absolutely necessary for an Amazon return. The line always moves right along, and they are just friendly, pleasant people. HIGHLY recommend. Don't bother going anywhere else--you'll end up irate and ripped off. You will always leave Postal Works with a smile on your face. Oh--their greeting card selection rocks, too! read more

Five stars on customer service, a well staffed store especially during the holidays for extra help, and a fabulous selection of merchandise in their adorable gift shop! Upon walking in, I felt an instant good vibe! The music was good and upbeat, there was laughter in the background and people were walking past me on their way out with smiles! It was a Hallmark moment! I came to mail something since my postal center was closed early for holidays. They had the necessary supplies to make my package perfect and their prices are affordable. The ladies who work there seemed genuinely happy to be there and it was as if I stepped into someone's beautiful home decorated for the holidays who helped me package up my mailing. They all greeted me with a smile and thanked me for being there. I haven't felt such welcome from a store in years and when I worked retail decades ago, that's the exact level of customer service I gave which went unnoticed from my customers who wrote thank you notes to me. Only thing I dislike is the congestion of the area on a busy corner off the highway and getting in and out of that parking lot. read more

See all

Claudia was wonderful. She copied 4 bundles of documents, helped me keep everything in order, then sealed and taped the large mailer shut in preparation for mailing. The copier machine was incredibly fast, and the copies were only 10 cents each. This is definitely my new go to place for copying. They also have a cute gift section in the front of the store. read more

Fast and friendly! They always go the extra mile and make everything so easy and pleasant!

I LOVE this place. What a pleasure to support a local business and get my packages sent off in a pleasant environment. They are cheery, helpful, and keep your info on file so it is twice as easy to mail the next time!!!! read more

Do not ship USPS flat rate from here! A large USPS flat rate box cost over $30 to ship from here and only $21.10 from the post office. A 50% markup (over $10) is not worth it! I feel ripped off and very disappointed. read more

Employee told me that I needed to send laptop in custom box and neglected to state that it would cost $80 to ship opposed to $20 in a padded envelope. Tried to be nice, but totally try to con you into spending money on items/services you don't need. read more

10/10 for service. I have always hated shipping/mailing things. Even around the holidays this location is calm, kind, and solution driven. I've been able to bring loose items and leave them after having them price out the best options for my schedule and budget. They store addresses you've shipped to before which saves time when you're in a rush, and you get an email with your tracking number- so you don't have to type it in from the receipt. Every single employee here has always been so nice and helpful. Truly a one stop shop that removes the stress from shipping. read more

I've been their customer for many years; great service, professional and friendly staff, always a pleasure! Simona B read more

This is the Cheers of neighborhood stores. Yes, they always know my name (and that of most other regulars it seems) but it goes beyond that. They're experts in pretty much everything mail-related and they genuinely care about their customers. When Becky asks 'how's it going?' she isn't just being nice (although she IS nice); she actually seems to care about the answer. I've been coming here for years and can't imagine mailing my stuff anywhere else. Astrologically: Everyone will feel welcome here, but signs who like to chat - Gemini, Sagittiarius and Aquarius - will especially love the social atmosphere. read more

Very cute and charming store! The staff is super friendly and helpful. And they also sell postage stamps and they can ship your packages.

GO. HERE. I really needn't say more, but for persuasion's sake, I will. No one enjoys dealing with the postal service, but these people make it a breeze. Every single employee is positively brimming with an optimistic attitude and eagerness to help. They know all there is to know about mail, and they will get it (whatever "it" is) wherever it needs to go as fast and for as cheap as possible (they are certified to ship UPS, FedEx, DHL and USPS, as well as freight). I have brought in everything from grocery bags of clothes to a large comforter and sheet set to the smallest envelope, and the kind folks at Postal Works are consistently ready to assist me in preparing, packaging and sending my goods. No matter how unintelligent I manage to come across (and this is quiet often astoundingly dumb), they are cheerful and patient. Not only will these people mail anything and everything on the face of the Earth (and do it with a smile, no less), they offer a range of box sizes, envelopes and packing materials, as well as greeting cards, wrapping paper and supplies, local chocolates, sweets, spice mixes, jams and a large assortment of knicknacks, from wind chimes to stuffed animals. Postal Works also offers faxing, copying and other printing services. There's even a small walk-up coffee window, which I have never been to, myself, but I do notice that the "drink of the day" changes on schedule. The last experience I had here, I had to overnight a check from the west to the east coast. When the recipient claimed not to have gotten it a week later, and I had lost my tracking number, I began to worry that my check was floating somewhere out there in space. Of course, I was nervous and embarrassed about my mistake, but with a few clicks the young man behind the counter pulled up my information and was able to tell me exactly when and where the package had been delivered (on time, of course) and even provided me with Fed Ex's phone number in case I should need to get in touch with them. Ultimately, this offers most of the services you'd find at any Kinko's, but on a much more personal level and from employees who genuinely care. I'd never take my mail anywhere else. read more

For reasons nobody seems to be able to articulate, there are no regular post offices within about a million miles of this area of Hillsboro--- perhaps the gov't planners wanted no part of the daily traffic snarls associated w/this particular real estate. Whatever the reason(s), it laid wide open the possibility of anyone with any vision or entrepreneurial gusto to swoop in set up shop. Biggups to Postal Works for you and your accessibility. This is a store that's part old school Hallmark with all the trinketry, and part old school pharmacy--- all it needs on the counter is a soda fountain and a soda jerk proper, attending. This place is even open later than government post office, so bonus points for that as well. In sum: bully for the hearts and minds behind Postal Works! We're loving it! read more

I needed to send some fragile items and decided to skip the creepy little post office down the road and try this location's shipping services. I'm very glad I did! The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable and the place was chock full of cute stuff. All of my shipment recipients specifically told me how immaculate the wrapping and packaging job was, so they really know what they're doing with your breakable objects. read more

I love this place. For mailing anything you could dream, it is great. They also copy keys with cheaper rates than Fred Meyer! Their gift items can be on the spendy side, but they get great seasonal stuff in for each holiday, and then have awesome discount sales on leftover merch when the holiday is over! For example today they have a table set up outside with Halloween and Christmas items at 50% off, and sales like this seem to happen pretty frequently here! read more

Very friendly staff and a nice array of services (including notary service, which is why I visited). They have a small section of the store devoted to the OSU Beavers and that snot-colored school to the south. There was a lot of random stuff inside the store... it reminded me of a cross between Hallmark and the christmas tree store. Actually, I suppose the best description would be what you expect a hoarder's garage sale to look like but with a much better layout and people who are quite a bit easier to talk to. read more

They are nice when you don't know them.....after 10+ years, you get to know the real personalities.... One gal today got pissed because SHE wasn't ready for me to pick up MY mail......WTF!? She got pissy and started throwin shit around getting uppity because she hadn't yet gotten to printing out the tags for the boxes when I got there. NOT MY FUCKING PROBLEM LADY!!! Then got a tude with me! If there were ANY other convenient place to get our mail, we would. She nearly tossed my packages at me and told me she refused to print out the signature slips and to be hopeful all my stuff was there. She ALWAYS has a tude, I have had missing packages and I have asked her THREE separate times if I should not come 'so early' (11am) to get my mail. She needs a new job. Now i'm going to get my Amazon packages at the gas station and send my husband for the mail so I dont have to deal with her. read more

I've shipped over a dozen times here, small packages to family and friends that don't need anything more than delivery confirmation. A lot of random goods, some tasty treats, and coffee! I always look around a bit, sometimes there's a good deal on seasonal goodies that can adorn my house. Always been helped when I come in and given good service. Only bad side is sometimes I ask for delivery confirmation and notice when I get home there is nothing on the ticket, so always make sure it's there before you walk out. read more

Staff is always friendly, straightforward and helpful. I've never had to wait very long. It's has a social, small neighborhood feel. I'm grateful this business exists! read more

Good place to for shipping items out locally if one is not willing to drive to the post office. Always have shipping supplies that are needed. The staff is friendly and professional. There is a 10% premium on purchasing stamps so it's more cost effective to purchase stamps at Costco or at the US Post Office than here, but if only couple of stamps are need to mail something the 10% premium isn't too bad. Basically the same price one would pay when purchasing stamps from the bank. Over all this place is good for shipping out the occasional item. On a positive note they also have a coffee shop inside. Two birds with one stone, as violent as that sounds, at the Postal Works. read more

Becky and team are the best...period! Shipping rates are great and reliable, the shop itself is filled with tons of great cards, gifts, and trinkets that every girl would love (including wine and tons of drinking paraphernalia:)), and you're always greeted with a genuine, warm, welcoming. Really enjoy coming here and appreciate the small-town feeling when I walk through their doors. read more

While this business is super convenient for me (right across the street from my place of residence) I'd rather drive into Hillsboro and use that post office unless I absolutely can't. I've used Postal Works twice now and was not impressed. The first time the staff was to busy flirting with a gentleman who had come in to be bothered to help me. After standing at the counter for a while someone finally came to help me and they seemed very inexperienced. The second time I used them all the staff was either MIA or behind the wall in the coffee shop section, so again I had a long wait. The shop itself can't seem to decide if it's a coffee shop, a tacky gift shop, or a postal shop. I'll use it in a pinch but I'd really rather not. read more

Pros: Staff is very helpful Cons: Cannot get insurance on flat rate boxes or shipping to the UK. Go here if you are shipping items without any monetary value otherwise you will need to find somewhere else to go read more

The store is cute - lots of sweet gifts for giving. But when I needed USPS boxes and I asked how much to ship a flat-rate, I found out they charge $5 MORE for flat rate shipping. Small box with USPS $8...with this store, $13+. This is simply NOT ok AT ALL. I will chose to ship at a regular post office. Sad really because this service is needed in this area and they are price gouging customers. read more

What a great little gift store, shipping annex, and neighborhood friendly place. You're always greeted with a sincere smile, hello, and a thanks for stopping in. If they know your name, they're sure to use it. Everyone from the owner on down are super friendly. They make shipping anything seamless, and make sure you know how and where to go to track! Neighborhood gem. read more

There will be no reason to go the the post office anymore, after you come here. They treat their customers the way every business should. Postal works is fast, easy, and costs the same as the post office but it's bright, and the workers are friendly and treat you with the best service! They will help you pick packaging, and they can even pack up your shipment for you. Not to mention there is a wonderful selection of last minute cards, gifts, chocolates and candies, and I think they also offer espresso. I've never been disappointed with the quality of service here! read more

I try to avoid the main branches of the US Post Offices whenever possible. The lines are crazy, the workers aren't always super friendly or helpful (not that I blame them), and the locations aren't very convenient to access from where I live. That being said, when it was time for me to go track down those cute little holiday stamps for my Christmas cards, I was not excited to make the trek to the post office. So I called in here to see if they had any options. The gal picked up the phone right away (I didn't sit on hold for hours!), and I had the answer I needed quickly and painlessly. So off I go to Postal Works. Walking into the store, I felt like I had been transported into a little boutique shop. Lots of greeting cards, gorgeous trinkets, etc... then I saw the front counter and the packing/shipping supplies. Oh, and no line! When I was greeted and asked how I could be helped, I said I was there for postage stamps. "Christmas ones, right?" she asked cheerily. She must have recognized my voice from the phone. She pays attention to detail! She gave me a pamphlet showing me all of my choices, and was carrying a friendly conversation with me while I chose which stamps I liked best. My whole visit was successful, and took less than five minutes. And get this: I left with a smile on my face! Thank you, kind lady at Postal Works for making my day and being 100x's more friendly to me than my typical post office experiences are! :) read more

Can you say, "fast and easy" as fast as I walked in and out of there to send my package? I'm in awe at how convenient, affordable, awesome, and not to mention how cute this place is. The last place I went to send a package like the one I sent today charged me nearly $20 for something that cost me almost $6 here. I will absolutely be back for all my online shopping returns, and believe you me.... It's a lot read more

I just moved to the area and needed some supplies for mailing out some documents. The shop itself is really cute and there are a lot of little gifts and greeting cards and such. The ladies there were SO nice and helpful! They welcomed me to the area and let me know they would be happy to help if there was anything I need. I will definitely be back! read more

Exceptional service from the whole team. I needed to send a treasured family lamp down to Long Beach, CA. They gave thoughtful input into how it should be safely packaged, and I'm very happy to say it arrived in one piece! They called to let me know that it needed to be sent FedEx instead of UPS, but not to worry as they would pay the additional cost. Highly recommend! read more

Great customer service. Quite a few options for packaging and shipping. Prices are reasonable. Quite a few other services offered such as a notary, copies, etc. read more

I want to give a shout out to Becky for her excellent service. When I walked in, she greeted me with a smile and asked how my day was going. She noticed I was sending in a passport application and new exactly where it needed to go and what I needed to include. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaged in doing the job right. They do it all here: passport photos, key replications, and they even have a notary. I highly recommend stopping by even if it's just for their delicious cookies that are only 50 cents each. read more

Stopped by to get a Document Nororized. The staff are always very friendly, but especially today. As the Worker was navigating through the legal verbiage I was offered some coffee and browsed around at the festive gift ideas. She Faxed the Document for me and for $11.50 my errand was finished and my spirit brighter. read more
