Again, here, they do not provide me with Fedex boxes, but a true Fedex office does. And they charge more for a shipment than a true Fedex office does. Screwing the customer. Fedex should sanction Postnet!

I have shopped at the Staples on University Parkway in Manatee County Florida for many years…read moreusually being able to get what I need. Today I went there after not being there for some time and was absolutely disgusted. Where there used to be office furniture there were big bins of $.50 old clothes!! Most popular office supplies were non existent. The aisles that used to have all the newest most popular printers contained only a few printers and no ink available for them. There were boxes blocking the way to the printing and copying counter and worst of all, about 1/3 of the store is now a party supply area. Even the employees that I questioned about this said it is awful and that whoever runs the part supply area is consistently complaining about Staples items being in their way. Seriously???? What gives? Is this what all Staples stores are turning into? If so, do the area a favor and close the store!! Goodwill stores and Thrift stores are nicer. Warning to anyone who hasn't been there in awhile. . .save your time and don't bother!!! K. Teel, Sarasota

I had to ship them from Florida to California, I didn't wanna pay an arm and a leg, and also wanted to make sure they were going to make it safely. I went on Google and I found Pack Mail and the good reviews. I mostly dealt with Everett, but I was also helped by Jake. Everett was very attentive, understanding, patient, and responsive. He understood my situation, and I felt that he and Pak Mail were taking my needs seriously. The paintings arrived earlier than expected, and the packing job was great. Here are the photos. The estimate was extremely reasonable, and a lot less than I was quoted by other companies, by thousands. I highly recommend Pak Mail a for packing and packing valuable items.

However I now had an extremely delicate piece to ship which caused me great anxiety-an INCREDIBLY FRAGILE porcelain figure to ship from Florida to Maine. It was very RARE also and I worried about the shipment the entire way. It was a figure of Christ on the cross with very DELICATE outstretched arms=nightmares and tremendous trepidation over this shipment and receiving broken arms. Chuck at PakMail did an absolutely MASTERFUL job of packing this incredible fragile item by creating a CUSTOM TRIPLE foam cradle for it to ride in. Unbelievable TREMENDOUS care was taken to get this to me safe and sound. If I had to ship anything PRECIOUS across the world I would hire this Pak Mail to do it-WONDERFUL ALL THE WAY!!

The photo emailed to me was not of my front door and there was a note that "the business" was closed. I live in a single-family home in a residential neighborhood. After contacting the shipper, I was told they would try to get my packages redelivered. I was telephoned by Fed Ex at 5:44 p.m. and advised I could pick them up, but I would have to be there before their closing time of 6:30. I told the caller I was a half-hour away and she said she would leave a note for the people in the office that I was coming. I arrived at 6:20 p.m. and the lady in the shipping office told me I had to arrive by 6:10 in order to pick up my packages. I told her what the person who called me from FedEx told me, and all she would say was, "You can pick them up tomorrow." Actually, I can't because I can't get there during your Saturday operating hours. Fed Ex wasted my time, gasoline and they are just the worst.

A frequently used UPS franchise store moniker stated, 'Your Satisfaction Is Our Priority'…read more.. obviously NOT SO! I lost $2000+ my time. I went to the University Park UPS Store to have a package sent to Chicago. Once inspected by an employee it was determined that my product needed to be re-packed. When we accompanied an employee into the back room, it was determined that my original hard-sided luggage would have to be reused as they did not have a proper sized box to use. We assisted in removing my old packaging material and helped wrap my computer in bubble wrap. When asked, the employee said that 'this should be good enough'. My Business Partner was actually on a video conference with us at the time, witnessing\hearing the comments and visual activity. While my product was being repackaged, we witnessed a second employee dispose of the original packaging. When the package arrived at it's finally destination damaged, I immediately filed a claim and was denied once the claim was investigated by their insurance company. They said that UPS packing standards had not been met despite my insisting employee involvement which the store did not charge me for. Correct me if I am wrong, but If they don't charge me for work they complete, that's on them, not me! I was told to take a claim up with the store! On 7/3/26 I did just that. Once I explained the situation, the University Park store owner Joe Clarke berated me and swore at me on the phone (an employee did the same on a subsequent call). He called me and my (2) witness' liars and swore at me (including the 'F' Word) as I had stated to the insurance company that the store had assisted in re-packaging and shipping. Joe Clarke said that he reviewed camera footage from 4 security cameras which showed no such assistance. When asked to share the footage to prove that they did not help, Joe Clarke hung up on me. Had he shared footage and proven me wrong, I would have accepted that. My loss stands at $2000+ hours of my time. I had even bought supplemental insurance not trusting UPS. After reading many of his store's reviews, I see that this is a repetitive pattern which includes rude employees and poor service. DO NOT WORK WITH THIS LOCATION! THERE IS A GOOD LOCATION LIKE BRADENTON ON 70 & LAKEWOOD RANCH BLVD.
