I appreciate this neighborhood gem so much. It has been YEARS and I know I can always come here and receive quick and seamless service with a smile. Kindhearted hardworking individuals here. No better spot to have my mail/shipping needs met. Continue to support your mom and pops! Times are tough. It read more

Very very friendly. Has all necessary supplies and options. This is my go-to place, especially if I have multiple packages to send.

Jean and team are amazing! Super friendly and helpful, it's amazing all the services they offer that we've utilized: Passport photos, notary services, package drop offs, mailing, packaging recycling, and more -- all at a super reasonable price. We love this place and will continue supporting as much as we can! read more

This place always disappoints. They are disorganized and often seem challenge to provide basic services like copies, shipping, notary. I wish I could say better things, but after three tries and giving up on this place. read more

Needed a document notarized and remembered this place. Got there 45 minutes before closing. Jean helped us. She told us normally we need to call for appointment, but she didn't have any more for the day so she would gladly help us. So note for my readers, call and make an appt. Jean was thorough so made sure our signatures matched or DLs and noticed the form we had was a outdated and she had another form she notarized to include with the original. Other customers name in and she handled them with ease, politeness, and efficiency. This will be my go to notary place. read more

The woman who runs this business is one of the most kind hearted sincerest people I have ever met. I have done business with them several times and it is always a pleasure. Make sure that instead of giving your business to large chains and corporations you support a small Oakland business with people that have a heart of gold. -Zoe read more

Jean is AWESOME! She was thorough, making sure everything was above board. She was patient with my aunt who was hard in hearing. We really appreciate her. read more

The Mailbox - Inside the store - Notaries Near Me - Oakland, California

They could not be more friendly and helpful. Not just for returns! I look forward to going back soon. Thanks

Came by to drop off a FedEx return. The nice lady showed me their POD (proof of delivery) station which allows customers to take a photo of their package rather than print out a receipt. A small, nice way to save paper/trees, offered to me in a very pleasantly! read more

Jean is the bomb. She is so helpful, kind and professional. A great neighborhood service.

Excellent service. Helpful and informative. Transparent pricing. Convenient location with street parking and large parking lot very nearby. Highly recommend! read more

Took my mom here to get her passport photo. It's a small business and personality. The owner was very busy with another customer performing notary services and asked us if it was okay for us to come back because she wanted to focus on the other customer and give us her full attention. I told her sure and we came back in 30 minutes as she requested. She wasn't finished but stopped with the other customer, took my moms picture and was extremely nice and accommodating. She always had a smile on her face and was very pleasant. Easy peasy. I came back the next day to drop off a package for UPS and they have a system to make sure you get a receipt with proof of shipment and they were busy but equally pleasant and show me what to do. If you need any mailing services, passport, etc, come here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Local Family run business with caring and personal service. Would come here over anywhere else just to support the sweet people running it but am never disappointed when I come even if there is a wait. Darling younger lady and gentlemen have always gone out of their way to help me and every other customer I have seen during my visits. Support local business and Asian owned businesses like these wherever you can -- we are one community and they need out support more than ever with the state of the world lashing out at them right now unjustly. read more

So grateful to be sharing this review. I typically stop by early when there first open to avoid crowds. Every single time I come I am greeted with a smile and warm welcome. I appreciate great customer service more than anything. It brightens my day, very contagious. I have shipped many packages through USPS, fedex, and UPS here. I have also dropped off packages for pickup. The process has been smooth, quick, and efficient. I appreciate how they always give the option to take a picture of the label so you can track rather that waisting paper by printing. They have all things you would need to ship packages. You can print papers. They have greeting cards. And even have PO boxes available. Thankfully for me, it's down the street so I'll be back. The space is pretty small so they are limiting how many people are inside at once. read more

Every time I go here. The workers are alway welcoming and nice. Superb customers service. Very knowledgeable and helpful. I can't say enough good thing about this place. I would give it 10 stars if I could. read more

I rarely drop a 5 star review, but I would be remiss if I didn't. I actually go out of my way to come here for all my mailing/shipping needs. The place is very professionally run, but what keeps me coming back is the amazing staff at this place! The owner really goes out of her way to take care of her customers. Its hard to find reliable places, it's so reassuring to know that this place handles my stuff! Bonus points for staying open to serve your community during this COVID-crisis! I appreciate this place and will always come back! read more

Jean is extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The whole time we were there (~1/2 hour for notary services) she dealt with a constant stream of customers without ever losing her smile, swiftness, positivity, or composure. A pleasure to work with. read more

this place sucks? i have never had a good experience with literally sending anything. cut off for fedex is....1:30? and not just "oh it will go out tomorrow" it's you just can't even leave a package?also they aren't verified to send alcohol like other fedex actual locations are? i feel like that's the point of postal places like this ... paying for convenience they clearly are lacking read more

I went in for a notary service for a job. Currently they need an next day appointment for notary services. But the notary saw that there was no other customers at the time so she decided to take on the job right then and there. I really appreciated the courtesy. read more

Small location that can handle your notary, mailing, faxing and correspondence needs. Customer service was pleasant. Store can get a little busy at times but worth the wait. My only complaint is that my passport photos were not able to be used because they stated eyes weren't open enough, but would still return. Very helpful crew in this establishment. read more

Strike a blow for a family-owned local business! This store can do ANYTHING that UPS or FedEx can do, plus they have a notary, packing materials, faxing and scanning, etc. They are very polite, kind, and careful. They also have PO boxes if you need that. There's parking one door down. read more

Generally good service and friendly staff. Some shipping supplies and low costs.

Never thought I'd write a review about a mailbox spot but I was really blown away at how great their service is. Prices are comparable to other 3rd party mailbox places so their service is what really sets them apart. They were quick yet especially attentive in packaging my items as they are fragile. They acknowledged every customer who walked in and were quite the dynamic duo making sure everyone was taken care of. Lol. I almost wish I had more things to ship. read more

Great customer service. I had to take some free returns to drop off here and I was there 2-3 times and each time, the woman who works there was very friendly and helpful. There is free parking in the back behind the building. read more

People are super friendly and very helpful. They also have a huge parking lot in the back of the store. I'm just happy it's so close from where I work. read more

Nicest and helpful owner and staff. Thank you for all that you do!! I This store has saved me a handful of times when I needed to print something urgent, with or without a drive, have something mailed overnight, and all my ups drop-offs. read more

I can't recommend the Mailbox highly enough. I've been going here for years. Jean is super nice and friendly, and she goes above and beyond in delivering great service. read more

Great, easy and friendly service! So glad I went in here and shopped locally. Thank you!

Got passport photos taken here, 3 for about $20. The two women working today were great at their jobs and providing customer service. Lots of coffee shops and food near by, including grocery stores, if you need to run errands while your order processes. Parking (metered) was plentiful. It's kind of a long drive for me, but will definitely come here for all kinds of needs next time. read more

Jean was super helpful in getting my notary paperwork done. She was very thorough, friendly careful and patient. She explained the cost, what her role was and made sure that I had everything I needed to properly satisfy the documents requirements. Probably spent about 10 minute tops here. Super nice that there was free parking in the back. read more

Such friendly service. If you need to send or print something, they will calmly and kindly help you out!

I can't say enough kind words about the staff at The Mailbox. I've been renting a mailbox here for two years. The level of care and commitment to customers here is beyond amazing. I always look forward to the brief chats with Jean(?) on days checking my box. She's always happy, upbeat, and SUPER positive energy. read more

Had to go in here to get paperwork notarized. They were great! Took car of me without any issues and was able to send it out by mail too. The place I normally go to near my house closed down so this will be my go to. read more

I have never wrote a review for a business i decided against but let me back up... I called after reading all of the awesome reviews. LET ME TELL YOU FACTS! Even over the phone the receptionist was so nice and sweet. Gave me all the information and extra just in case, up front. She even checked to see if there hours of operation change ( do to the VID) worked for me and that was the only thing that stopped me ( not open on the weekend ). After she referred me two other business near her . She was so nice and the customer service was exceptional. If you okay with Monday through Friday check them out. I will when I get my life together. read more

This is the epitome of how a locally owned business can provide the best service. The kindness and friendliness of the owner, Jeanne (sp?) is incomparable. The services of mailbox rental, fast copying, faxing, notary public services, passport photos, all in my neighborhood, the Dimond district. I've had my Postal MailBox (PMB) here for more than 20 years, primarily for my business but it also is convenient for using the same space for personal business. Thank you for having this business right here! read more

I don't ship a lot of things but goodness me, these folks are so pleasant I'll be looking for whatever excuse I can find to come here again. After trying to be clever and cheap and buy shipping supplies at K-Mart (and finding nothing that suited my needs) I figured I'd take my chances with whatever shipping supplies these folks were willing to sell me. And sell they did! And l loved them for it because despite my initial fears, they helped get me exactly what I needed - a perfectly sized box and just the right amount of bubblewrap- for much less than I'd anticipated. The incredibly helpful lady at the counter also helped me determine which shipping service would be cheapest for me and made sure I had a copy of the tracking number before I left. I can't remember the last time I was so happy to give someone my money. Honestly, I left wanting to hug someone. I will be back because if it feels this good to do business with them while getting shipping supplies and service, just imagine how great it would feel to come back to get something notarized! or copied! or faxed! read more

I agree with the glowing reviews. I needed to have a document notarized (see my forthcoming review for Sprint's craptastic fraud investigation process), and after seeing the reviews on yelp, I found myself at The Mailbox for this service. Service was prompt, friendly, and professional, and several people came in who were clearly regulars to the business. Since I started this review, I've been back a couple of times to send things via UPS, and had excellent experiences both times. One time they actually told me that I could mail my package MUCH cheaper (like $12 cheaper) by just using media mail at the USPS (the Dimond substation is right around the corner from them) if I wasn't on a strict timeline. Pretty awesome. Friendly and local is always tops in my book! read more
