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

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

Great customer service! I have been here twice- once to get TSA PreCheck and once to get my passport renewed. Staff here is courteous and professional and they know what they're doing. The staff is a pleasure to work with and got my business done quickly and efficiently. read more

This place refuses to give you a receipt that proves that you dropped off the package. This basically gives you no proof that your item was dropped off at their location. What does this really mean? Anyone at this location can steal your package and get away with it. I had made the mistake of asking for a receipt showing that I dropped my package off, and the lady (owner?) was very rude. She said "why should I give you a receipt? The USPS doesn't give us one so why should I give you one?" Don't risk your precious items by using this place's services. read more

The customer service at this location is excellent! The staff members are highly knowledgeable, helpful, and efficient. I've visited for package drop-offs, pick-ups, and TSA precheck appointments and have been assisted promptly every single time. read more

Prompt, friendly, professional service. Very pleased with a passport picture taken there, and now use them for shipping whenever the need arises. read more

The customer service at this PostalAnnex+ is top notch. I needed to get some documents notarized and after 16 signatures, the notary was still smiling and courteous. He was also very respectful of my documents. He made sure my 200+ page document stayed in order and that all signature/stamp pages were dry before putting them back into the file. He was also very respectful of my time and filled out the rest of his notary book after we paid and left. This location offers 10% off notary services if you call in ahead of time. I had a great experience here and will return for future mailing and notary needs. Plenty of parking in the lot. Located near Panda Express. Accepts credit cards. read more

Took a little time to get someone to help get paper work done. Their lay out is kind of weird and confusing when your new to the place but it was done quick after they assured us. read more

This place seems to do a pretty brisk business, or at least it was busy when I walked in. I needed a live scan, and as soon as I approached the counter an employee asked me how he could help me. I told him what I needed, and he said he could help right away. He called me over to the live scan machine, cleaned it off with disinfectant, and we started the fingerprinting. We chatted pleasantly while he was doing the scanning, and he seemed pretty expert at it. Then we were done. I think I was there about 10 minutes or so, total (maybe a tiny bit more), including payment, and I was on my way. The shopping center that this store resides in has a lot of Asian businesses, and there were several signs in Korean on the walls. The person who helped me, though, was not Asian and spoke perfect, unaccented English. I really don't care who owns or works in a business that I enter--it's just really uncomfortable when there's a communication issue. I experienced no communication issues at all. The shop was clean and orderly and appeared to be run well. I would have no problem using this PostalAnnex again. read more

I came in because I needed documents notarized quickly to meet a deadline. I did a walk-in right when they opened and they were able to complete everything for me in less than 15 minutes. I was in and out with no problems. I definitely recommend this place. The employees were very friendly as well. read more

Great experience for international-size passport photos! I needed 4 Irish-size passport photos to submit with my Foreign Births Register application this week, and after contacting a few places who couldn't help with international sizes, PostalAnnex was able to. I was running late and arrived just after their closing time (2 pm on Sunday), but called and they were still happy to help. Friendly, accommodating, reasonably priced: definitely the place for passport photos! read more

I have come in many mornings to drop off my packages and they are always the nicest! What other places have boxes (if available) and tape for you to use without charging you. They offer passport service as well. I easily give them 5 stars. It looks like they recently have some new employees and they are all friendly too. read more

I came here to get my photo taken so that I could renew my expired passport. The two photos came in a small booklet that protects the photo. It cost $14.99 plus tax. The entire process was done in about 5 minutes. It was a fairly small operation, but the service was fast and friendly. They're conveniently located in the Culver Plaza shopping center at the corner of Culver Dr and Irvine Center Dr. They're on the side facing Irvine Center Dr. I would definitely recommend coming here if you need to take a photo for your passport. read more

Very nice, fast, efficient and knowledgable! They also have late hours (open until 7pm) I have come in several times to send packages and once for notary services and I would recommend them highly. read more

Exceptional service by all 3 employees at the front counter!!! This was my first time here. I stopped by because I had an Amazon return. I had just enough time to drop off my package before picking up my daughter from school. I didn't know how long this process would take and my youngest daughter happened to fall asleep in the car on the way here. So I picked up my toddler who was dead asleep on my one shoulder and carried a big box that was wrapped around my arms inside the store. As soon as I entered, I saw a lady run from behind the counter to help me with the box. I was surprised by her kind heart. She asked if I printed the shipping label. When I said yes and pulled it out of my bag, they said that's it. They will take care of the rest. Whaaat?!?! It was sooo easy and quick. I couldn't believe it. As soon as I put my child in the car seat, I knew I had to write this review. What a wonderful experience. I highly recommend them and I will happily come back. I'm so bummed I didn't get their names. Thank you so much, Postal Annex! read more

Truly great place. I have used their services for many years and they stuck to it through Covid. Everyone that works there is super friendly, efficient and responsive to my needs. I cant thank or recommend them enough. read more

I had to send some stuff out for a friend. He specifically asked me to go to 'one of those mailing centers' to do it seeing it was fragile material and he wanted to make sure it wouldn't break en route. I got there just in time. There was one person ahead of me and was almost finishing up. The man packaged the stuff for me really well. I felt bad because some other customers showed up and he was so intent on doing a great job on my item he neglected his other customers. They had to wait. One man actually left, but some others arrived soon after. The elderly Asian lady (she looked like she was in her 80s) kept giving me the stink eye because she had to wait so long. It took him about 15 minutes to get me all processed and out the door. It was bloody expensive. I ended up choosing UPS (FedEx was the same price) which was $48 but he charged me for all the packaging materials which was 30 bucks worth! DAYUUUM! Anyway my friend is paying for it, but STILL!! I thought service was great, but I'm sure the other customers waiting probably didn't think so! Seriously the man needs to hire some help! read more

I take a photo of my Taiwan passport here, they're super profession and fast too, because Taiwan passport has different size requirements, but they super familiar it. Five stars! read more

I got my live-scan fingerprints done here and they were really fast! They accepted card and I could just walk in without an appointment. I would definitely come here again! read more

I've been coming to this Postal annex for many years, Amy and the staff always make sure you are well being taken care of, from postal service, passport photo, notary, P.O. Box, and other great services they can offer as well. Excellent services, great rates, what else would u ask for ! read more

I've been sending a lot of items lately to oversea and I found this place and this place is awesome. The service is great, they have boxes for you to use without any fee, they take FedEx USPS and international shipment. I can't say enough how nice the service is here. I will continue to use this place for all my shipping needs. read more

Always very helpful and understanding! Very easy to manage! I love how flexible and convenient they are! I'm so glad to work with them!

This is a check-in/update/thingy-ma-jig review: I planned a trip to China and weaved my way through the process of obtaining all of the information needed for my application packet. Whew! Who knew China needed to know all of that info about me and my family? I thought they would just look up my profile on Yelp and say to themselves "yup, he's cool, let him in". Well that didn't happen! Anyway, back to the check-in-thingy-ma-jig...I got everything together and was ready to go to the Chinese Consulate and turn in my spectacularly completed application and my wife asked about the pictures. Pictures? What pictures? I have to submit sort of passport sized pictures as well? Holy smokes, I forgot about that! I stopped into my favorite Postal Annex in Irvine and spoke to Amy and Josh and asked if they could give me Chinese sized passport pictures. They chuckled a bit as they learned I had forgot about these, but happily helped me and my family get the correct pose and size. They even asked us to approve the picture before printing...awesome service! The entire transaction took 10 minutes and before I knew it I was on my way to China! Woo hoo! Postal Annex is the best! read more

Absolutely the best postal annex Ive ever been to. They have free tape, scissors, used boxes and the staff doesnt make you feel stupid!!! They have a table to wrap your items and ship them. Not overly crowded when I went and its an overall large store. I will only come here from now on. The USPS down the street has the most horrible customer service and they make me feel lost and dumb everytime I come in to ship something. This place cares about the customer first! So thankful for businesses like this one!! read more

My go to place to ship things to Korea. Prices seem very fare and they are very helpful in completing my shipping process

I came here last week to take passport photos. While this particular PostalAnnex was a bit out of my way, the great reviews and prices convinced me to drive here from the other side of Irvine. I had to take an international-style passport photo that required religious headwear I normally don't wear, and the ladies that worked here were incredibly kind and provided the space and feedback to make sure that I had the best photo. Their cameras are very high quality and they have great lighting, so the photos turned out beautifully. I loved that they also gave me a digital copy of the photo for future needs and digital submissions if I needed it. Does it cost more than Costco or Walgreens? Yes, a bit. But if you want a NICE passport photo, I wouldn't recommend anywhere else. read more

Came here to get a live scan done which was about $90. The staff was very friendly and helped me right away. The process does take a while though about 15-20 min. Very clean and I felt comfortable with using their equipment. read more

Got my baby's passport photos done here for two different countries. She was scared of the camera at first, but they were so sweet and kind to her, and they eventually got her to hold still without crying! I highly recommend this business. read more

Quick service for passport photos:) thank you so much and I'll definitely come back next time!

I went to Postal Annex to get my passport picture done. I was going to give it a 5- star, but their price is on a higher end and I regretted not going to Costco. I came in on a weekday to ask them to take my passport picture and service was fast. I was out within 10 munites despite that they only have two workers inside working. I received two printed version for $17 and I also got a digital copy was well since I checked in on Yelp. Overall, friendly service, fast service, but pricey for passport pictures. read more

Stopped by for a live scan and a 2x2 photo today. The lady who helped me today was really friendly and efficient. I definitely recommend this place! Thank you! read more

Once again, what a great place to take care of your postal needs. Went there today to print a pre-paid mailing label for USPS. I had first gone to the PostOffice where they refused to print the label. PostalAnnex was a breeze. The lady printed the label and stuck it inside a plastic envelope and taped it to the package. Wonderful service center. read more

Needed a visa for a trip to China. The Chinese visa photo requirements are very specific and ridged. PostalAnnex did it quick, right, for a good price. I was helped by both the man and women who were running the place - both were professional and efficient. It took less than 10 minutes and I walked out with two photos, plus copies were emailed to my phone for viewing before I left the store. read more

First time here to take my passport photo today. Seeing the necessary protocols in place when I walked in, I felt safe already. They are professional and friendly. It took only 15-20 minutes for the entire process from photo session to photo ready for pickup. I will go back again in the future for other services they offer. read more
