I've been to Postal Annex for both notary services and my baby's passport, and each visit has been a great experience. During separate occasions, the staff provided excellent service. For the notary, they were careful and detail-oriented. When it came to my baby's passport photo, they initially suggested taking the photo at home since it can be easier for babies. However, when I arrived, they were more than willing to try taking the photo there--and my baby did just fine. The photo was printed within about ten minutes and it cost $18.31 for two copies of 2x2. This price is reasonable compared to other places. The staff member who helped us was very kind and patient with both me and my baby. I also noticed they assist with TSA PreCheck processing, which is super convenient. The location is clean, the staff are helpful, and I highly recommend Postal Annex for notary services, passports, and shipping needs. read more

I needed a Chinese visa and the photos that you need for that are quite specialized and a smaller/different size than a regular passport photo. I had heard that PostalAnnex specialized in multiple sizes passport and visa photos (Postal Annex came recommended to me for Chinese Visas - you can even pay them to fill out and submit the application for you! But I opted to do it myself but I still needed the photo). I called just to make sure and they told me they indeed do passport and visa photos (including for China) and when I asked if I needed to make an appointment - they said "no you can just show up anytime during opening hours but it's good to come at least 15 minutes before closing because the whole process takes about 15 minutes) When I showed up there was plenty of parking (it is located on the intersection of Culver and Irvine Center Drive in the main shopping center across from the McDonalds. There was also a sign on the window advertising that they do photos and the Chinese Visas so that was a good sign. The man who took my photo was very nice and knowledgeable - I liked that he seemed very experienced and had done a ton of these before. I also liked how he showed me my photo to make sure I liked it for final approval before he just printed it. You give them your email address for the digital copy and then you also get 2 printed photos for $24.99 which came to about $26 after tax. I just waited in the store (they have 3 chairs you can wait in and have a fridge with drinks to purchase too - or you can walk around the center while you wait). The woman Amrit who works there was also very reassuring and friendly and super helpful as was the man (whose name I didn't get). I chose this location because the other Postal Annex has received some negative Yelp reviews for unfriendly service but at this location (15333 Culver Dr) the service was OUTSTANDING and I will be coming here for all my future passport and visa photo needs! (They also do mailing, have mailboxes, etc.) read more

I can only give a review based on my interaction with the short caucasian girl. She had a grumpy demeanor from start to finish. When asking her about passport requirements she gave me the wrong information not once, but twice. Alarmingly, she needs to be educated on geography; for example, Germany is not part of the UK. If she is not interested in learning geography the passport rules, she should stick with something simpler like selling stamps. read more

I've been coming here so long like 10 years. Great people hard working. The husband and wife team very friendly. read more

After shipping my packages from a local UPS store with employees that we're indifferent to customers, it's refreshing to go to postal annex. I have never had an encounter where the employees weren't friendly and efficient. I love doing business with them. It's a pleasure each time. read more

I needed to mail a package to my daughter in college. I wanted to be able to compare different carriers to compare prices and service options. I wanted someplace that could pack for me to make sure it met all regulations and requirements. I was so happy to find the PostalAnnex. The person who helped me was very polite and welcoming. She was able to combine both of my items into a single package. She showed me the different options and explained the differences. The hours here are much more convenient than going to the Post Office or Branded Carrier stores. I am very happy with the service and value I received. I will be coming back here again. read more

One stop shop! 5stars! We were looking for a rushed not overcharged Apostille service and luckily we found Postal Annex. They were a one stop shop! We had to do Notary as well, and they also took care of sending our package abroad. Supposedly, we needed to go back next day for pick up of the Apostilled docs (we were there way past the cutoff time) and mail it and they offered to do it for us. Their pricing is way reasonable too, the apostilled docs costs way less than other competitors. They definitely got our trust and will use them again in the future! read more

The people working here are so nice and even though there were customers here, service was really quick. Price is normal and they were the only place that knows how to take Asian passport/document pictures correctly. Thank goodness for this place! Highly recommend! read more

I've been using this location for several years for various services--shipping, notary, TSA fingerprinting--and never had an issue until now. Unfortunately, I recently dropped off a package here that was lost, and the experience has been disappointing. What really bothers me isn't just the lost package, but the lack of responsibility or assistance from the owner. The only response I got was essentially, "We're not responsible," with no effort to help track it down or offer any support. It felt dismissive and left me with the impression that they no longer care about their customers the way they once did. I used to trust this place, but after this experience, I'm reconsidering where I take my business. read more

I came here as recommended by my husband as he usually uses them for business. I needed to send a package to a different country. I waited patiently for my turn but the lady behind the counter called upon a customer who recently got there and served her first. The customer is Korean and I am not. I thought to myself 'do they have an IMPLICIT BIAS to non Korean customers? I prefer to go to a place where customers are treated equally. Just my 2 cents. read more

very quick and efficient! I came in for a notary service and it was done super fast. priced fairly too! there was no wait time and I love that it's family owned. I can tell people love this place because there's frequent customers that know them by name. it was nice to see. thank you again! read more

Friendly, Quick, and reasonable price for two notary signatures on one document. Lots of parking available as well.

This center epitomizes customer service! The staff were efficient, and professional. It was busy when I went. As soon as I walked in I was acknowledged and told it will be a few minutes. Came in for a Live scan. They sanitized equipment and I was done in less than 10 minutes. Cost about $67. read more

Did my live scan here with no appointment. I had a young gentleman help me and he was really nice and was able to take me without any appointment. The ladies working there were also very kind and they all say hello when you walk in. I also liked how clean the place was. read more

I needed to take a passport photo for a visa application. PostalAnnex provide this service plus many more. I got a free digital copy of my photo via Yelp Check-in. Staff was busy and friendly. Highly recommended! read more

They were very responsive to my yelp inquiry and super friendly and efficient in store. Great experience!

My daughter & I went in for Canadian passport photos. Canada is very picky and Kevin did a great job! The prices were equivalent to UPS Store & CVS but the pictures were much better quality. I will go to Kevin for my passport photos from now on. Highly recommend. read more

I've been a customer for the past 12 years. The service is always top notch and friendly. Rates are reasonable.

Came in on my lunch break and took a passport photo and it was extremely quick, only about 5min wait. Price was $16 with tax which is roughly the same as any other place. Came back on a Saturday and was able to smoothly renew my passport. Total cost is about $152 ($140 for passport renewal + passport card, $12 shipping) which is about the same if you go to the post office and way cheaper than going to fedex. Great customer service both times i was in and barely waited both times! read more

The service provided met the expectation that is the way should be but some other shops may miss. Choose this one will be your great decision read more

This location took care of all my Notory stuff on a Saturday untill 4 pm. If I need a reliable Notory this is where I'll go again.

Brendan is awesome. You guys are lucky to have him. He knew I was on my way and stayed a few minutes late for me and he got everything done quick and easy. Brendan rocks!!! I'll be coming back just because of Brendan's customer service. read more

AMAZING service, friendly staff, quick turnaround, and wide range of services offered. Used their passport photo service for my USA passport renewal and for my two-year old's Taiwan passport photo. (They're great with toddlers! He smiled the entire time). We received free digital copies for both via Yelp check in. Used their quick and efficient notary service for my son's Taiwan application. Used their Livescan fingerprint services for my New Jersey and Arizona licensure requirements. They have a tip sheet on how to complete the forms accurately. They made everything easy and quick. No appointment required despite going on a busy Saturday. Highly recommend this location! read more

Moose was amazing, he was patient and helped me when I couldn't find the store, and helped me with an international shipment. Answered every question with a patient answer. Amazing customer service! Will return soon! read more

Definitely my place to go for regular mails or any need of different sizes of box they have it and less expensive than regular post office-- and the lines are less. Oh and if you need Notary?--- look no further because they are the best! They know what their doing unlike some I have tried that only have license but dont know what they are doing! This is my #1 best ALL in one stop! Keep up the good work guys! read more

I always come in to drop off my Fed Ex express shipments. No lines usually so I can get in and out very quickly.

Went to get my TSA pre check done and Moose made the process so simple. He was so friendly and able to answer all our questions. When customer service is on the decline it is always so nice to find someone who k owe the importance of it. read more

Amazing, quick, and easy service. Friendly staff and was even able to help me months later after misplacing some forms. Definitely recommend! Thank you, PostalAnnex. read more

We went in to have passport picture taken for my baby. We were done in 10 minutes. Fast and efficient!

I've visited this particular PostalAnnex a few times in the last few years whenever I'm in the area. It's actually a pretty large Postal Annex in terms of space, though the actual customer area is small. I've never seen more than two people working at any time, so you may have a wait depending on the other customer requests. I've never had any issues with any service, and they are pretty quick on creating the tracking number and labels for packages. I would recommend having everything be boxed up and ready to be shipped before coming here. Postal annexes in general are always going to be more expensive than the regular USPS. If you need to drop off a package that has a USPS, UPS or FedEx label already on it, then you're good to go, as they will accept those packages. Make sure to request a receipt of package acceptance for your records. Will probably continue using this particular PostalAnnex. Also, lots of good food and snacks in the area, so it's a nice spot to grab something to eat. read more

Moved to the area and needed a mailbox that offered a real street address post office for my business. I did a yelp search and saw some places that had high reviews had some recent bad ones due to change in management. I wasn't even considering postal annex in my search but saw great reviews and good response via Yelp. I tested it and this store pulled through. It's in a shopping center so parking is fine. Everyone is super nice there. Very thorough and answered all my questions. They seems to do everyone too! From postal services, notary, and DMV renewal. Thanks for everything guys. Happy to find you. read more

I come here regularly to mail packages and there's a go to girl that works here... I regretfully did not get a name but she remembers exactly how I need to send my packages out. They also give you a discount I guess if you go frequently enough. All in all the service is great here and I'm definitely a regular customer. I would recommend them! Parking is really easy in the big plaza too! read more

My review is on their notary service . I used Yelp messaging them on price and hours, and within 3 minutes I got a reply. I then scheduled a same-day appointment and was able to get two documents notarized right away. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. She was quick and efficient, and I'd recommend her notary service to anyone who needs it. read more
