More like GREEDY OFFICE CAFE! I recently went in to find my rates were raised 70%......70%! BALI IS NO LONGER THE OWNER! Please remove his name. It is misleading. As an excuse, the new owner said "our prices have been too low" What is "our", you just bought the place. read more

The Home Office - a sandwich in a styrofoam container - Mailbox Centers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I came here twice in the span of two days to ship a few items back home, and they were so helpful. They even helped me choose boxes from the random collection they have in back, and packed them too - all at no charge. Excellent and friendly customer service! read more

I urgently needed a couple of documents notarized and shipped where the Home Office turned out to be a savior. The owner and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, and were very quick with all my office needs, plus the pricing is genuine. I was offered a masala tea and a sandwich, both of which were delicious. The owner is really sweet and offered customizations to the food as needed. I plan to go more often just for the masala sandwich and tea! read more

Fast and Friendly service, way better than an actual post office. They helped me pack up my shipping items free of change, and I got a delicious sandwich for lunch while I was there. This is the only place I'll be mailing from in the future. read more

I came by for a quick visit to dropoff a Fedex package. I was surprised that they have a $2 Fedex dropoff fee, something I've never heard of before. I paid it because I was tired and didn't feel like walking to a free dropoff location. The staff member was really nice though, and Fedex picked up my package ontime. read more

The owner here was so kind! He helped my mom make flyers for my missing cat. He also made us coffees and put rose water in them for luck. Not sure if it was the rose water, flyers, or encouraging energy from this place BUT we found my cat! read more

I had a bad experience at the regular Post Office yesterday. I don't want to get in it, but let's just say the holidays really bring out the worst in some people. I ended up leaving the Post Office and vowed to find some other way to ship my packages. Thankfully, I remembered The Home Office. I had stopped in there once when a friend needed to buy stamps and Bali had been really friendly. I walked in today, one week before Christmas, and there was no line and Bali and his staff took good care of my packages, didn't rush me, and provided the little things I needed (like "Fragile" stickers) and really made the process stress-free. (Is it just me that stresses out at the Post Office? Apparently not, judging by the stress I saw there yesterday.) I even brought my little pup in and they gave her a treat! I know this doesn't sound like a big deal for me, but this means I don't have to walk my dog, then bring her home, and then go on a second walk to ship something - I can do it all in the same walk! Time saver! I'm really thankful to have Bali in the neighborhood. I may have paid a little more than I would have at the Post Office, but I probably skipped at least an hour of waiting and a lot of frustration. From now on, this is the only way I'll ship! Thanks Bali! read more

There is something missing in the minds and hearts of American business people today. Bali took it all and is doling it out in huge dollops at The Home Office. It's called customer service. Lookit! I had to ship a dozen large boxes to another state. A good number of my precious belonging were in those boxes. I was debating how to get them from my apartment to the post office or whatever while buying the empty boxes at Bali's shop. He then informed me that he offers a service that ultimately made my life completely simple. He will pick up your shipping. That's right. He will come and get those big ass boxes and ship them off for you. And he does not charge extra to do so. We arranged for him to come by at 2:30. He was ringing my phone at 2:33 to announce that he was outside. He helped me load them into his truck and off he went. I went by the store a little later and arranged the insurance, mode of transport, gave addresses and paid. It was the easiest thing ever. read more

New owner, the previous owner Bali was amazing. I am not certain why there are so many odd Christian evangelical symbols in this mailing center these days. These include a print of Jesus' nail pierced hand, a TV monitor displaying bible verses, and some boxes of something for sale with more mysterious biblical verse references. The nail pierced hand also looks vaguely like its holding a pill? It is decidedly odd, and does not feel like a non secular place of business at this point. It feels almost a like a stealth evangelical plant? These days such signs are alarming. I will not be visiting this place again. There's a very good mailing center on 5th near Wall, I recommend that when you just need service, not mysterious proselytizing while trying to mail a letter or package. Also note: prices went up substantially. read more

The staff here has always been extremely friendly and have always made the task of shipping off packages less stressful. They now offer Coffee, breakfast items and much more! I love stopping by here on my mornings for the amazing atmosphere. So excited to have this so close to my office! read more

It's a multipurpose shop with mailbox, shipping, carpets and other merchandise for sale, and a cafe. Strangely, it became my favorite coffee shop in Belltown. I did blind taste-offs between the coffee here and elsewhere in Belltown; and it won in particular for lattes. Iqbal, the owner, is a very nice person. I'll miss our chitchat when I move to east side. read more

I've been a mailbox customer of this service for a long time; almost 20 years, actually. The owner is a friendly guy named Bali & they offer lots of things folks working remotely might need, faxing and light printing especially. Recently, Bali opened a cafe in this space & while there are a quite a few cafes in Belltown/Cascadia; the drinks here are great & the bakery items taste like homemade. Sandwiches and smoothies too ! read more

i've walked by this place dozens of times curiously because it works as a post office, while also selling coffee and smoothies. today I had to mail my passport renewal forms and thought this was a great opportunity to use the service at read more

First of all, don't confuse me with Syd R. who wrote a previous review. Similar name - not the same person. This place is almost impossible to get to. 2:00 in the afternoon, had to park four blocks away just to print three documents on my email. Parking is not, however, their fault. Just commenting on it because of other reviews that said it was so convenient and people just "stopped in." Doubtful. There are two computers to use, and both are dirty with food and other detritus on the keyboards. The one I used had missing keys on the keyboard. Once I started Firefox and entered gmail, the first thing I wanted to print was a .pdf file. Neither of the computers has a .pdf reader, which are FREE. I was able to print my other files, and they allowed me to send my .pdf file to the owner, who then printed it, because HIS computer as a .pdf reader. The price was reasonable and the staff were friendly. Because of the lack of cleanliness of the computers and the entire place, as well as the lack of convenience, I would not return in spite of the friendly staff and reasonable prices. read more

I'm not sure if the five star reviews and I are referring to the same place? This place definitely tried to rip us off. I stopped in here once because my bf needed to print something urgently. They charged 1 American dollar for 1-side black and white printing!!! I'm not sure if this is just how expensive they are or they tried to rip us off because they saw we needed it bad. But 1 dollar for printing just one page is the most expensive printing I've seen in my life--we didn't argue with them at the time because we were in a rush and it was just 1 dollar. But I would not come here again for printing read more

I love this neighborhood place. The staff here remember who you are and your quirky little likes. They are friendly and eager to please. The smoothie, coffee and chai selections are so good and everything is tailored to specification. If you are looking for "in and out" service you will get it. If you're looking for a place to sit and enjoy your coffee, you can have that too. Not to mention the Himalayan salt selection. I bought and shipped so many cooking salt slabs for family and friends. They were quite the hit. Not one of them broke in shipping because they were so carefully packed. They were a deal price wise as well! Bali is so accommodating and pleasant. I'm grateful for him as a business owner in Belltown. read more

This place is a portal to utopia. People care and you get a feeling of rejuvenation just walking in there. Bali is an amazing person. I love it! Jonathan read more

I go often at the home office, to either ship stuff, print documents or even do online research. Their service is impeccable and they are always smiley ! ;) read more

The Home Office - April's legendary smile ! - Mailbox Centers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I absolutely LOVE this place SO much!!! Seriously, if you live nearby or you frequent the USPS, or FEDEX nearby, you should change and make this place your new stop for all your shipping needs. The service here is so far above and beyond what is typical in the US. The employees are SOOOOO NICE, I'm telling you, you will leave here feeling like a long time personal friend. Let's start with the fact that Parking is way easier to find here than it is the nearby fedex or usps closer to 5th. But even beyond the parking they basically do EVERYTHING for you as a courtesy for no additional charge. For example, I brought in two unpacked items to be mailed last week. They printed my labels for me for free. They found appropriate boxes for me, for free, they bubble wrapped them, FOR FREE, and they taped them, FOR FREE! And they do this regularly for me. I also needed a light bulb for my salt lamp and they gave me two different light bulbs to try out , FOR FREE and said when I come back in next time, I could pay for the one that worked. Because neither worked, when I brought the cord and the bulbs back by, they gave me a entirely new cord with a bulb that fit it, and it was less than $3.00. I'm telling you,I love this place. Additionally, They are remodeling to include a coffee bar so pretty soon you will be able to sip coffee while you take care of all your business needs. I can see this place sticking around for a long time. You need to support this local business, you will not be disappointed. read more

I have enjoyed every experience I've had at the Home Office. Bali has been very friendly and helpful whenever I have stopped by. This is the best place to go for Notary Public services. His fee is fair and service is exceptional. I will definitely visit again! A++++++ read more

I really like Bali the owner and I want to give him 5 starts. He's a very sweet guy! I've only had printing done at the Home Office. I like that you can email him a request at baliwirelesssolution@gmail.com - thats pretty cool! What I had a hard time with was a black and white print job, 500 copies that cost me over $50!! What? Let's keep it real...that pack of paper cost Bali what? $15 at the most?? That was a little bit disappointing. I did request just SLIGHTLY heavier than regular paper..nothing even close to card stock heavy. Again, nice guy but I'm already paying my high Belltown rent I guess I needed to realize I am paying his too with an incredible mark up on services. Yikes. Again, really nice guy but right now I'm a broke girl and thought I would get a better deal than Kinkos...not so much. Bummer! read more

Love the place. The guy who works there and Bali are great! Very helpful, courteous and they are always trying to save money for the customer. I would recommend this small business to anyone. read more

Tried to sell me a box of 500 white envelopes for $50. Same box of envelopes I get at Office Max, Office Depot or Staples for $30. When I asked why they charge almost double I was told their cost is $40 and "we have to make some money off them". Unprofessional and bizarre company. read more

This place is awesome. I come here to print stuff all the time because I don't have a printer at home. Every time I'm here the staff are super nice and willing to help. They are really chill about everything and usually charge you much less than the advertised cost. Which is especially nice because the advertised cost is already a good deal cheaper than other places like Fedex. read more

Staff is very friendly but what they charge on mark up is ridiculous. I fed-exed a large box and learned that, if I had just walked around the corner to a fed ex office, it would have cost me $61 less! My $163.00 package turned into a $224.00 package--too rich for my blood. read more

Great place. Very friendly, nice, polite staff who make everything easy. tt's a fantastic business with a great vibe. Definitely use these guys for any shipping/mailing. read more

This is a great place to ship DHL packages, especially internationally. Bali, the owner, is friendly, helpful, and trustworthy. I've been a repeat customer over 2009 and I've always been highly satisfied with the level of service at this neighborhood store. read more

Lame. I walked in and asked for graph paper and the guy had no idea what I was talking about. Little to no office supplies in this place.

This is a great store for shipping and packing. They have been consistently cheaper and faster than the kinkos just a block away. Plus the owner and staff are super friendly. I'd definitely recommend this place. I've never used their printing services so only my caveat is that I don't know anything about that aspect of the business. read more

I went here to get something notarized and also mail two birthday cards. This was in November. It is now mid January and my sister and her friend have still not received their Bday cards. I stopped back by the store in December to ask the owner what was going on with the cards and he told me that it is a busy time of year and it could take 14 business days to get to the destinations. Fine. But it is now January and my sister and friend still do not have their cards. I have a bad feeling about this place and the way it is being ran. I say do you business with the actual US post office...even if the lines might be longer. read more

Bali is awesome. He always remembers you and is the nicest most kindest person ever. His services are all very affordable and the way he conducts business is all so personalized. read more

Bali rocks, plus he still keeps in touch with the former owner, Matt; who he hires occasionally to come back and work his old job... April is great too. Yes, this is the best place in downtown Seattle to get your mail and do those copy jobs. Much friendlier than Kinkos or FedEx.... read more

great service, friendly staff, I'm always shipping stuff that I sell on ebay or sending back returns from online retailers. never had any issues. awesome job. read more

Well I guess I am the first one in writing a bad review about this place....I guess I met Bali , nice, smiley guy who offered me a cup of tea and milk even before asking me what I needed ....the place is tiny, computers are really slow ..it's a mix of printing/ delivering/ packaging / courier/ t- shirts // souvenirs / kind of place...the problem is ..I only needed to print a page email ..... but they consider an extra line on a second page as a full price page ...but I was charged over $ 5 for that !!! just because it came printed on color!!! I didn't asked for black and white, but they didn't offer the option..just a cup of tea ..on a dirty full of older cup of teas with milk surrounded by papers. kind of desk ......kind of disgusting !!!! by the way : they don't have any price list as regular office depot places ... Basically , he got upset when I asked about the price and suggested that I should asked for the option of black and white !!! really nice customer service !!! he just smiled and said : do you want to buy any t-shirts today ??? hahaha...yeah right !!!! read more

needed notary service...called and "yes" they do that...walked in later and Bali knew what i needed before i could say...friendly, waves to his customers, good service, willing to help...what more could one want?? don't know how price competitive he is but his service is well worth it..will definitely go back when i need him.... read more
