This is a great place to accept all your mail and packages. They handle mailing packages by the least available cost for their CUSTOMERS. Appointments are necessary for shipping. Great personalized customer service. read more

Incredibly rude and useless. Was told to "go to the post office downtown" when all I was trying to do was buy some stamps. read more

The Postal Depot - Notaries Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Literally the best office, been here 12 years! Recommended to everyone I know private post is amazing.

So RUDE. This place sucks. I would not recommend trying to mail a package here. Walked up during business hours and the door was locked. Another women walked up with packages that had printed shipping labels and asked me "are they closed!?" I said " I'm not sure the door is locked." I could see someone inside but she fully ignored me when I knocked on the door. Then a lady inside answers the door. She continues to ignore me and turns to the other Women "dropping off?" She says and takes the packages from her and then proceeds to shut the door on me. I say "excuse me, can I mail a package please?" The lady responds with "no! the post office can help you with that!" I said "what do you mean? She just dropped off packages? I just want to ship this." She said "we are by appointment only and I'm in the middle of something!" Very rudely. Okay Then! put a closed sign on the door or something? I've never heard of such a thing. She was so short and rude with me and acted like I was putting her out by asking to mail a package? I thought that was the purpose of this business. At the very least she could have been kind. Super rude and super weird. read more

I don't understand how this place is allowed to lock the door during business hours, what is wrong with this lady. It's so awkward to have to knock on the door just to hand them something to mail out. If you don't want to be around people, then find another line of work. read more

I'm sad to write a negative review about any business--especially one where I gave a positive review years ago. This was my favorite place to go: Kim and her staff made mailing so easy, and I loved petting her sweet dogs. But something has changed. A lot. The last three times I've been there, I've felt in the way, I've been scolded, and I've felt mostly confused because my previous experiences had been positive. Today I screwed up my appointment because I thought it was half an hour earlier than it was. When I arrived, I stood out in the cold and snow because the door was locked. She saw me. Then, with my packages in hand, she finally came to the door and brusquely informed me I'd missed my appointment. I was surprised and didn't know if I had to leave. Then she told me to decide what to do because she was holding the door, and it was said so rudely that I decided I didn't want to stay. I don't know what's happened to the Postal Depot, but I hope it's sold to someone who wants to work with their community again. I'm sad to lose this place. read more

By appointment only? This place will be closed in no time. No where on the website is says you can't enter without an appointment. Waste of time. Go anywhere else but here. read more

This place showed up on google and I lugged my packages in only to find out it's by appointment only. Ha! Who makes an appointment in this day and age to mail something?!? read more

Have been a customer now for eight-plus years and have always found Kim and her staff to be first-class.

So this is bizarre. I looked up a mail center on Google and this place came up. I drive there and the door is locked with a sign on the door says by appt only. Then a women came to open the door. She confirmed help was only by appt and closed the door. No one in the store. No offer to help or schedule said appt. I never leave negative review but this just confused me. I'm sure they are helpful to someone. Now headed to another store. Wish me luck! ‍‍ read more

With the demise of Kinko's/FedEx, it's nice to have The Postal Depot in downtown to provide the vacuum left behind. I come here to drop off UPS, FedEx, mail and buy postage, and each time, I've been helped by a friendly and helpful staff. No complaint, just glad to have this store here and will continue to patronize it for as long as possible. Side note - I like that the staff knows the names of their regular customers and vice versa! read more

Never in my entire life have I experienced someone more rude and aggressive while completely unprovoked .... I came in with a package to ship. Label printed, box full (but unsealed). The woman immediately snaps at me saying "you need an appointment to send things. I can't have people lining up in here while I'm helping someone who actually made an appointment like you are supposed to" *the store is completely empty other than me*. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know. I've never had to make one before. But I can go somewhere else." "well you already came in" *most condescending rude tone ever* Aggressively takes my package, puts my provided sticker label on it, and tapes it shut. "That's a dollar." FOR ONE PIECE OF TAPE. I tried to pay with card- they don't take it under $5. I gave her a $20- she couldn't make the change. I offered to go and get some change out of my car- "No. Just leave. I'll take my hard earned money out of my tip jar" and jabs her finger to it and then the door. I immediately came back from my car with the $1 (still trying to be respectful- I have no idea why) and the door was locked and she refused to acknowledge my knocking on the door to bring it to her. Woman is going to go out of business treating customers like that. Do not act like it is "normal" to need an appointment to ship out a package and then treat your customers like disrespectful morons for not knowing about your (ludicrous) new system of appointments. My family and I have been coming here for 20 years. Never again. Good luck lady- ps there's a $1 on the planter. read more

Kim is great and fun to talk to. Thank you for helping me ship products all over the US. You all rock!

It's always nice to support a local business, even if it costs a little extra. I was going to meet the new Yelptern at a coffee shop near the Postal Depot, but when I realized it was next door and I needed to send something overnight, I suggested we just head there to finish up the paperwork. When we walked in we were greeted right away by the friendly owners. We took a seat at the table in the lobby, seemingly there for just this kind of reason, and when we were done, I brought the completed docs up to the counter where they gave me everything I needed to send it out for overnight delivery. From the number of customers coming in during the short time we were there, and the conversation being had between them and the staff, I'm guessing a lot of local people use this business for their mailing and shipping needs. It's great to see a small local business like this thriving. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the unofficial mascots! There are apparently a pair of golden retrievers who greet guests. They were sleeping when we arrived, and when we were paying a customer had taken them out for a walk! There's a container of treats on the counter, and I hope to catch them next time! read more

The Postal Depot - Notaries Near Me - Reno, Nevada

See all

I have been a customer for eight years now. They are great. Frankly, I don't understand the negative reviews because that has never been my experience. Several positive experiences. Several years ago, I received a phone call from them, saying that a client was there wanting to speak to me. I told the manager to send him on up (the building is one story). We both had a laugh. Second, I had an office chair shipped there. I don't honestly remember WHY I had it sent there instead of my office -- regardless, they were very nice though they had every right to be displeased that this very large box was filling my lobby. Third, unlike the Postal Service, they accept wine shipments, and very patiently hold them until I pick them up. Close to downtown. Parking can be a little dicey (but how long do you need to park when picking up mail). Overall, great experience. read more

Please knock? Appointments required? To buy a couple stamps and an envelope? And you just CAN'T fit me in. Sad face. Wow. I wonder how every other post office and packaging store seems to be able to cope. Go anywhere else. read more

Always gotten great customer service, no matter what I need. I don't understand all of the negative reviews - despite going here frequently I've never experienced or seen any rudeness or price gouging. This is still my first place to go for all of my mailing needs! read more

I needed a simple envelope and arrived today during their posted office hours. Though they had 10 minutes till 5:00 pm on a Friday they locked up for the day. I was told by a rather disgruntled and stressed out employee that they closed and they were on a zoom conference call and couldn't sell me an envelope though when I went to make a phone call the same lady comes through the back of the store for a delivery. Obviously not on a zoom call, obviously not open during marketed business hours. As a colored man I felt slightly discriminated against. I have never been so appalled at customer service and would not recommend doing business with The Postal Depot. read more

Unreal. Not sure how someone who runs a postal store can refuse to help you with postal needs. I was turned away bc the owner was " in a meeting" In fact I was told to go to the post office with my items And to purchase goods elsewhere. This wasn't the first time I've experienced unfriendly customer service but I chalked it up to a tough day in the past. Today I was left standing outside ( with my items to ship in hand ) in complete shock. read more

I am a local who stopped by today to mail a check that needs to go out today. I was told by the (very nice) counter service person that the US Post Office downtown could help me. I suppose that is a bit like a McDonalds staff member suggesting that I head a few blocks north to the Burger King. When they go out of business, which is bound to happen if they continue to turn away local customers from its core businesses, I am hopeful that a reliable shipping service (UPS or FedEx) moves in, as the area could use one. head to the UPS store on Plumb. This place literally does not want your business. read more

I went in to purchase an envelope and mail a letter. Apparently that was something she could not comprehend. She seemed absolutely shocked I would even ask and then very rudely told me to drive 15 mins to the post office. Why have a POSTAL business when you refuse and turn away customers who need POSTAL services? Makes no sense. I would NOT recommend under any circumstances. You'll end up going to the post office anyways. read more

Too expensive, but handy-they are the only postal place opened by 7am. They are just around the corner from my house so I save gas, too. I guess they are pretty good! They always have a lot of staff to take care of you. read more

Nice people. Good service. Good value. Great location me. Very convenient to slip in and out.... extra services. read more

Being a new to town, the Postal Depot has been an amazing resource- and I enjoy heading over to grab my mail and having a quick chat with the owner who is awesome! Amazing location on beautiful tree lined California Ave. 5 stars from me! read more

Super friendly to repeat/local customers. Carried on long conversations with people they knew by first names however, didn't even take the time to say hello to a new customer walking in the door. When I finally got up to the counter the owner just walked away and the young gal was very cold. Won't be returning anytime soon. Should have read the reviews first! read more

We have been customers for over 11 years. We never have to worry about porch pirates and can receive and send packages through any delivery service we need. Kim and her staff have always been friendly and helpful and we actually enjoy "picking up the mail." read more

Wow! Let me tell ya about this place. I have never been treated so poorly! I thought that since this is on the way, I could stop by really quick and buy 4 sheets of stamps. Even number, 4 sheets of stamps, super easy math. It was around 4:05 pm I come up to the building and there is a woman looking confused, walking around, pulling on doors, has a few packages in her hands. All I can see form the curb is that there is a big sign with covid rules ( no more than 2 customers in at the same time, etc) and another huge hand written sign that says "PLEASE KNOCK", something is written above it in small print. I cant read that without my glasses. Finally a woman emerges form the back, unlocks the door, lets the lady in front of me in. I am literally about 7 ft ( maintaining social distancing) behind the first customer, walking towards the entrance. I try to open the door and it is locked again. Ok, I am thinking it's probably because of covid. So I stand outside in the cold for over 10 minutes, waiting until the first customer leaves. I head towards the door and it is locked again. The owner lady is behind the counter ignoring me. There is no way she did not see me standing outside all this time. I knock, she opens the door all irritated. I asked if I could by stamps, she says she can't sell me stamps and that they are closing. I told her her sign says they close at 5 pm and it is only 4:19pm. Please note, there is not a single customer there. She said she is busy and has appointments already scheduled and shuts the door on me! I took the picture and only now, zooming in, I can see that in very small print at the top of that giant PLEASE KNOCK sign it says that " all retail is by appointment only"!!! She couldn't tell me that when she shut the door in front of my nose the first time? There is nothing that tells you how to make an appointment either. I even went to their website. Nothing on their website about any appointments or a way to make one. I guess you would have to arrive in person to see the sign, then call to schedule an appointment to buy stamps!!!!! No, thank you! I drove to Vassar Post office, stood in line and got myself some stamps. A nice lady at the counter at the real post office let me choose form a variety of forever stamps and was actually pleasant to talk to. I will never go to this awful Postal Depot place ever again. read more

The Postal Depot - Notaries Near Me - Reno, Nevada

After being a loyal for more than two years, I no longer needed my P.O. Box, so I ended my mail service with The Postal Depot. My service was paid through December 2010, but when vital packages arrived late in the year they could not be decent about giving me a call to let me know. They sent them back, even though my service was paid through. I should have taken warning from her when she complained earlier that year about a customer no longer needing his mail box. If you don't need it, why would you pay for it? I would look elsewhere for mail service. Postal Depot's UPS and FedEx rates are also overpriced. read more

Clue-less is the only word I can use. Run from the lady behind the counter. She clearly knows nothing about how her products work and I was happy to leave when she opened her mouth. Dumb as two rocks.... read more

The Website says 12 months free registered agent with rental of box. When I called they said, they aren't accepting any new registered agents, but would rent a box. What is the point? When I pointed out it was on the website, the lady that answered just said, "uh huh". read more

We selected PD as a temporary address while we looked for a home in the area. I am so pleased with their customer service through all the changes we endured. How they remembered our box number each time we went in truly impressed me. Yes, at times it was very busy. However, they always were courteous and professional. Love the fact that their pup gets to come to work and say hello to the customers. The only and I do mean only negative I have is.......the stupid people who park in the alley making it very difficult to get around to the parking lot in the back. Especially when you're driving a crew cab dually. read more

You can expect at least a 30 minute wait at any USPS in Reno/Sparks. Why waste your time like that? I've rarely waited longer than 5 minutes and the owner/employees at Postal Depot are all about great customer service. They can do anything the post office can! Their box prices are reasonable as well. They carry your standard stock of tape, envelopes, greeting cards, and even some local gift type items. *There is a $5 minimum if you are paying with a credit card read more

I would definitely recommend not going here for any services. The woman behind the counter is extremely rude. We were traveling to California And never used the the P.O. Box we opened. We had it for 2 weeks and decided to forward our mail to where we were staying. Absolutely no refunds, even if we never used and it was a short period. She would rather have the contract than allowing another person get a box. We should have known by her demeanor the first time and followed our gut feeling about this business. Such poor customer service. read more

I have been shipping a lot of items for eBay, and normally use main usps postal branches. I stoped by here today because it was closer, and not only was there no line, but I got personal assistance finding the right box and cheapest option for me. In addition, they have some locally made turquoise jewelry on display, way to represent the locals! One thing to keep in mind, they can only charge our credit card if it's over a certain amount (I think 20 or 30) so be prepared to bring cash or check otherwise. read more

The owner is really not friendly and makes you feel like a burden for being in there. Such a bummer because this is a local business and is so conveniently located for a lot of people. I have given her multiple chances (been in there maybe 10 times) and every experience has been the same. Won't be coming back. read more

The woman who helped me was the most rude and condescending person I have ever met. I will walk 500 miles if I have to and wait in line for hours next time I need a mailing service. The charges were enormous. Manager M was my cashier. read more

I don't get all the negative reviews. I've been a customer twice when living in Reno, and am a current customer. The owner/manager is always nice, knows me by name, and when I come in on saturday, if they have a package too big to fit in the box, even though they are closed, if someone is inside working - they always get my package for me, since I seem to only get in there after 5 and weekends. The golden's are great :) Yes, parking sucks, but and sometimes you have to walk a bit. But the staff has always been nice when I do see them. read more

My Postal Depot bill is one that I ENJOY paying. Their mail service is less like the post office and more like having a personal assistant. The staff is extremely helpful. Some days they have my mail ready for me by the time I get to the counter! I call a couple times a week to see if there's anything worthwhile in my mail. They always happily check it out for me, and report their findings. I enjoy stopping in as everyone is always conversational--co-customers and staff, alike. They're also very accommodating for sending complicated packages and picking out the perfect card. And, no more junk mail! One other hidden benefit of using the Postal Depot: my search engine presence sky-rocketed after indicating my business was located here. It's an amazing location to have a business address! Thank you, Postal Depot! read more

Nothing but great service and friendliness from the owner here. She was very helpful in setting up the box and managing all of our packages when we moved here. I don't know understand the negative comments either and most of the seem pretty unreasonable folks. Regular customers do get priority because we pay for a service and Kim treats everyone fairly and juggles a lot of things at the same time. Give her a try, she is very sweet and cares. read more

I'm not one to go out of my way to write a review, but my complaint does coincide with others I've noticed. I went in trying to send a wedding gift to a friend in South America and said the address wasn't insured...fine. I can send it to an alternate address! However when I wanted to try an alternate address, the older woman refused to even try. "I won't even touch that. You'll have to go to back to the post office." I'd much rather support the local businesses, but not this one. read more
