I came in to ship out a box as a return. The staff was very friendly. The cost was decent, they were fast and even securely put extra tape on the box for me. Got notification it was delivered today. They performed a service that didn't disappoint. Thank you very much. read more

I came in to notarize documents. They had three staff members and nobody in line and they turned me down because I had too many documents to notarize. Mind you they make $15 per notarized document and I had eight documents that needed to be notarized twice a piece. IThey went to the back and came back and said the manager says we don't have a notary available. Didn't even matter that I had an appointment. No wonder they have such bad reviews. Went to the UPS store near target and they had no issue notarizing my documents, even though they were completely smashed with a long line. read more

Hey Dave --- read these reviews and change your approach to people!! Ever heard of the term, CUSTOMER SERVICE?!?! You are the most passive-aggressive, rude, condescending business owner I've ever encountered. You act like processing an Amazon return is inconvenient. I came in the other day with several returns and you made a big deal about pulling out a shelf to hold my items, hitting me in the leg while doing so, and then acted surprised when it hit me. Yet, I watched you do it again to another woman right after me, who actually told you that you hit her, and you said, "Oh, did I? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that," in a very passive aggressive way. But before you pulled out the shelf and hit her in the leg, you said to her, "Wow! That's a lot of returns! What happened??" First of all, NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! Second, WHAT DO YOU CARE? You're making money on processing our returns! You are also extremely rude and condescending to your staff (and I'm pretty sure one is your wife and one is your granddaughter). I feel sorry that they have to work/live with you and put up with your sh*t all day long. I have used your location because it's closest, but never again. I will take my business elsewhere, like so many other reviewers have done. Good riddance. read more

The service is horrendous. I am not sure how they are still in business. Slow and rude at the same time .

Customer service is not good, tossing packages, not friendly, and a strong B.O. smell... This store is closer to my home but I will drive a bit farther to the one near Target. read more

If you just want to be treated like crap for no reason at all, I highly recommend asking for help from the owner. The owner kicked us out after throwing a package on the floor and then scooping up the remaining packages we had and chucking them outside. Security came and sided with my husband and I. read more

I have been to this location several times and have always received amazing service. Both the owner and her daughter have been very friendly and accommodating. read more

I've been coming to this UPS Store for over five years, usually two or three times a week, and have always had great experiences with the staff. Everyone here has been friendly, helpful, and professional, except for Dave. Today was my first time being helped by Dave, and it was easily the worst experience I've ever had at this store. He was rude, dismissive, and handled my packages with zero care, as if they didn't matter at all. At first, I thought maybe he was just having a rough day, but after reading other reviews, it seems this is a common issue. It's really unfortunate because the rest of the team is great, but one person's attitude can ruin the whole experience. After so many years of coming here, this will be my last visit. Like others have said, take your business elsewhere. The UPS Store on El Camino and Town Center (across from Home Depot) is friendly, professional, and so much better all around. read more

Dave (the owner) has the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I rarely write negative reviews, but the amount of times I've had a negative experience because of Dave makes me feel obligated to say something. He's made sarcastic, backhanded, and passive aggressive comments every time he's helped me. He also does this weird thing where he pushes boxes back at me across the counter - it feels like some sort of attempt at a power move and it's very weird. Overall, he's just very impolite and unprofessional, and I hope that can change in the future. I have nothing against any of the other employees at the store, they're actually pretty nice. Honestly, I just feel bad that they have to put up with this guy every single day. For anyone reading this, please take your business elsewhere. The store makes a profit when they process Amazon returns, and I just don't feel right supporting such a poorly run franchise. I highly recommend going to the other UPS store off of El Camino and Town Center, across from Home Depot (1084 N El Camino Real Ste B, Encinitas, CA 92024). They are actually polite, professional, and you will probably be helped 3x faster there. For Dave, please listen to the complaints in your reviews and try to improve. I truly hope that you can change your attitude and have a successful business. read more

THE OWNER IS RUDE, CONDESCENDING, AND ARGUMENTATIVE and UNHELPFUL!!!! I live very close but make the extra drive to the UPS Store in the Target shopping center as every employee there is kind, friendly and helpful! I f you like being berating and talked down to like you're stupid in front of other people, then this is your store! Dave, you don't even deserve one star! read more

Dave is so rude have no idea how he works there but was the worst today is how he spoke to employee that worked there! That is a hostile workplace and I hope that employee leaves . He is rude always annoyed with customers. Terrible read more

Try to avoid being served by Dave the old owner the old guy everyone else is exceptional fast friendly but the owner Dave is rude snarky condescending and should really just stay home read more

If I can leave negative stars I would. Should've looked at the reviews of the store before coming in obviously there's a reason why they have such poor reviews and I experienced that today myself and also on Sunday will never be coming here again. It seems that a lot of of the local UPS stores are all miserable human beings I drive up to the Poinsettia location they are an absolute joy to work with and honestly it's worth going the distance. On Sunday a miserable old man refused to take my package, even though I was already in the store because he said he was going on his lunch break and he doesn't deal with things on his lunch break, even though I was already in the store and I said OK well, I'll just leave my package on the counter and you can scan it when you're done your lunch break and he told me no I'm not doing that so I left my package and left and somehow it magically got scanned and that should've been assigned to not go back however I was in the area and it was convenient to stop here and I stopped in again this time with a UPS package and a post office package which every other UPS store I've ever been to accept post office packages because the post office makes stops at local UPS stores. The manager of the store is a miserable old lady who scanned in my UPS package and told me that she would not be accepting my post office package at which point I said what do you mean? I literally dropped off a post office package here the other day and they picked it up and she said oh the post office comes here but they don't pick up packages. They only pick up mail and I said what do you mean they don't pick up packages I literally dropped off a package the other day and it somehow magically got scanned and picked up. Are you saying that I made that up and she said I'm not saying anything but I'm not accepting your package today. It seems that the people who work here are lazy, miserable minimum wage workers who hate their lives and seem to hate the general local population. Life is too short to be subjected to people like that I will be taking my business elsewhere and I suggest you do the same. read more

So helpful and efficient and kind! Everyone is so polite and made sure everything I needed done was quick and easy.

The old man that worked there kicked my box out of the way and into my leg because he said it was in the way. He then reached in front of me to open a slide out table and hit his hand against my genitals. read more

The manager is very rude and unprofessional! Do not come here! I was in today and had questions regarding my packages and best way to box them and he moved my things and told me to get back in line and I wouldn't be helped until I figured it out myself. read more

Mr. Bag it and Tag it, aka Dave, is so condescending, rude, disrespectful, and pushy. If you don't have everything exactly how you expect it he will definitely let you know. Heaven forbid you don't use the shelf in front of the scale. Or you set your package in the wrong spot. I'm tired of walking on eggshells to return an Amazon order. I assume the reason all Of his employees are family members is nobody else would want to work for him as he micromanages everything they do. Even though this location is much closer, I'm opting for the UPS store in the target shopping center from now on because I'm tired of dreading sending back Amazon packages and giving him business the be berated. Hey Dave, you are no longer in the military and barking orders at me. read more

If I could give this location 0 stars for the way I was just treated, I would. Completely ridiculous. I show up at 2:52. They close at 3:00. I go inside and there were maybe 4-5 people in front of me. I get in line. The old white man behind the counter looks at me and says, "How did she get in?" Baffled, I say "Uhh through the door...?" He leaves his current customer, walks to the door, pushes it open, notices it's broken and says "That's the problem right there. The door is broken." He then OPENS THE DOOR FOR ME AND MOTIONS TO THE WOMAN IN FRONT OF ME, "That's my last customer. We close at 3:00." I have never been so disrespected in my life. I know you close at 3:00, which is why I'm here BEFORE THEN. Wow. Go to any other location but here if you want to be treated with dignity and respect. Unbelievable. Miserable old pr***. read more

if there were zero stars I'd select and I rarely write reviews Dave was beyond rude when I simply asked for the store e mail address and he barked " it's over there" and pointed across the store When the kid who is training I think went to read it to me he said " she's a grown woman and can get it herself" what a waste of breath when he could have been a gentleman and just told me I've had many bad experiences with him but today was my last day going there Something needs to be reported I think with so many complaints about him Ugh read more

Owners an idiot. Watched him give the worker helping me a hard time and I said is always like this? She nodded. She was helping me and one of his old guy friends came in and he bypassed everyone in line. Basically made girl helping me and I go to a different line. I was gonna light him up but too close to Xmas. I'd feel bad. Don't go here unless you have to read more

Very slow. And the old guy is really rude. It's not bad when the granddaughter or grandma are working. Otherwise it's not a pleasant experience. I try to avoid. read more

I've been dropping packages off here for 2 years, and the staff is amazing! Couldn't be nicer! Barbara Roberts

Customer service at this location, specifically from the elderly man who identified himself to me as the owner, is horrible and completely unacceptable. Will avoid this location with any future business I have with UPS. My experience is consistent with other reviews: no help or assistance, poor communication, and an overall lack of respect for the cliental. My specific issue involved the UPS option to automatically redirect packages to a designated access point. Our home is located down a set of stairs and does not have direct street visibility. We often have packages misdelivered as a result. I recently selected the automatic redirect option as a courtesy for the drivers and since it makes my life easier in the long run. That was true until my experience with owner at this UPS store. Previously, with a small shoebox sized package the owner made an off handed comment about why "they" would send it to his store. I didn't pay too much attention to this initially. Today, I went to the store ~1hr after receiving the pickup notification for another package. This delivery was on the large side, and I get it is a smaller store, but it was not flagged by the UPS app and the automatic redirect happened as usual. After the first employee tried to find my package and couldn't located it, the owner simply said "I sent it back, it was too big", then walked away with no explanation. I checked my app and indeed it did say that delivery was refused and they would try to deliver it again the next day, to the SAME location. I was asking for some clarification on exactly how I expect to receive my package, and there was no help at all. Dave scribbled down the address of another UPS store and said "try them" then walked away again. His decision to refuse my package is not part of the UPS policy, as confirmed by their customer service which I called immediately after. The pigheaded attitude of this owner as if this was my fault was unacceptable, if he has an issue with the UPS policy, he should take it up with corporate and not deflect to the cliental. The only useful part of this exchange was the owner's recommendation for the other UPS store "a mile up the street". Avoid his place and take your business there. read more

The previous reviews say it all. This is the second time I've used this location and the staff couldn't be any slower and unwelcoming. It's a burden to serve customers. There are plenty of other locations - use those! read more

Most disgusting customer service from a UPS location! Unfortunately this is close to work so I come here on my lunch break for returns. When I have the extra time I drive further down the street to the other location (I highly recommend you doing that). Service is ALWAYS slow. Line starts at the door and I'm always waiting at least 10 minutes. Today was the worst! 4 staff members standing behind desk. Walked in and waited where the line ALWAYS starts (by the door). Old man finally saw me and asked if I was waiting for something. No shit you idiot! I'm waiting in your line! Then the proceeds to tell me to walk down while shaking his head. F%*£ you! Learn to be more efficient and pay attention to your customers! Don't know how this locations hasn't gotten things together. Service at UPS down the street is a million times better. Kind, fast, efficient! This location is not worth you time if you don't have to go. Even as the only customer in the store waiting in line, I had to wait. read more

Today, when I got to the door, an older man (I think the manager), was putting something outside the door, then closed it in front of me. He didn't bother to keep it open for me to walk in. Then when I got in, I asked the young man behind the counter where I could drop off a pre-paid package and the older man said he's busy! stand in that line! Very rude. I proceeded to stand in the line. He could have let me know in a kinder voice the other employee could help me. He was even rude to the other customers. He needs to learn customer service. I don't care if he was having a bad day, customers come first. I will stop going to this UPS store even though it's only 2 min from me and go to another one farther away. He doesn't deserve 1 star but there wasn't a zero stars choice. Seems this guy has been this way for the past couple of years if not more and the response from the business say they will do something, but it appears nothing has been done because he's the same rude person. read more

The man who runs this place is condescending and rude. For such a simple errand, this was a very unpleasant experience. Don't give this store your business. read more

I had to ship a stuffed animal to my favorite niece, but it wasn't small! This family-friendly operation did an incredible job at helping me find the right boxing solution at a great price! Had I shipped it without their help it would have cost over $350! They helped me cit that price by over half! Super helpful and always very friendly, they are incredible here! read more

The UPS Store - He helped me get this stuffed animal to my niece at a great price! - Shipping Centers Near Me - Encinitas, California

Usually this store is great and has wonderful customer service. Unfortunately, today there was only one UPS team member who was being very rude and disrespectful to the entire line of customers that accumulated while he was being very rude to the lady he was working with. After rejecting his service to the customer in-front of me, i walked to the counter to present my very simple amazon return. I asked if the store had tape to seal my box and he responded with anger that i did not come with my box pre-taped and talked down to me while there was a box tape tool directly in-front of him which I know other UPS workers would have just used to tape the box and continue with their day. Overall, this worker was refusing to be patient and assist all customers (before and after me in line) with their questions and concerns they expressed about shipping their packages. He was demeaning and rude to all customers, which was very inappropriate in service for a UPS store. read more

Dave at store #0028 (270 N El Camino Real) is so condescending and rude. Was reminded why I avoid this UPS Store even though it is closest to my house. Should have stuck with my go to UPS at 1084 N El Camino Real, they always go above and beyond with their customer service. Looking at some of the other reviews, it doesn't look like my experiences are unique so I will continue to avoid this UPS Store. read more

The team here always does a great job Thank you for always making shipping seamless Has that local family owned small business feel read more

The UPS Store - Need to update hours - Shipping Centers Near Me - Encinitas, California

Absolutely impossible to come here any more! I just tried to print some work and the way this old women was talking to a client in front of me was so disrespectful that I could not believe what was going on. Once came my turn, was not much different but she knew I was not going to have. She had no idea on how to print a file that I sent by email. I offer if I could do my self (computer on the outside comum area) and she said I was not allowed to do my self...but in the past with an older gentleman I was ok to do the same thing as he could not do it. I would say, please let her daugther deal with clients because although she also did not know what to do...but as polite! read more

Dave, the owner, is incredibly rude to his customers for absolutely no reason. I went to him and said I have a package to ship and one to pick up. He processed the package going out and yelled at my face "next!" I said I still have a package to pick up and he yelled "next", again. The third time I told him I had a package to pick up he replied, "Why would you have a package delivered here? " as if it's unheard of for UPS to deliver a package to a UPS store. I said I had it delivered because I wasn't home to sign for it. He' says again, "Why would you do that?" .Mind you, my box is sitting right behind him. It would've taken two seconds just to hand it to me. But no, he had to be aggressively rude. As I'm leaving, the next guy in line says to me, He was so mean. You didn't deserve that at all". No, I did not. Stay away from Dave and this UPS location unless you want to be treated rudely. read more

Customer service is atrocious. Old man who was "helping" me was anything but. He was rude and dismissive. I should've gone to my usual store where they actually care to help you. read more

I have been to this store three times in the last month and will never go again! Two of these three times I had to deal with the old white-haired guy. He is pushy and rude and not helpful in any way. He wants your business but does not want to provide ANY customer service! Never again!! read more

I have never had a more enjoyable experience at a shipping store! Usually it's a drag to go on errands, but Dave (I believe he is the owner) was so kind and good natured, I enjoyed chatting with him so much i didn't mind the trip! I actually wish I had more things to ship so I could go back. Thanks for your help Dave! What a wonderful space you have created read more

I have always had a great experience at this store and am surprised at the negative reviews. The people here go above and beyond to help you in a very busy store with shipments and Amazon returns going out and everything else they have to deal with. Yes there can be a line sometimes, but that's to be expected at a busy store . read more

I have been coming to this location for 2.5 years. I agree with most of the other reviewers, it used to be a huge pain in the butt to come here because the service was behind slow and the staff didn't seem to know how to work a basic computer. However, I have noticed a change for the better in recent months. The owner is in the store more often and he seems to be trying to turn things around. He is very nice and helpful and trying to get customers in and out of the door faster. They still have a bit to go but I appreciate the improvement! Service is faster and the staff seems to be better trained and nicer. It is definitely more pleasant to come here now, so kudos. read more

This is my closest UPS store and it's the absolute worst! I'll now have to drive further away just to avoid the hassle, attitude and delay of processing packages here. Why you may ask? The owner or manager of this location is controlling, doesn't think before doing and has an attitude. He needs to let his workers take over and handle the customers. He's not friendly, his comments border on rude and he grabbed my phone out of my hand without permission without simply providing a reason as to why. He's made comments like "we don't need your trash when processing the Amazon return" The trash he's referencing is the packaging for the product with the name and barcode on it. Another start to an interaction was him asking why didn't I attach the label to my package. I didn't even have a chance to ask for the slip cover to be able to attach it. Another time I was in line to process a package and he skipped right over me. I was clearly in the doorway and in line. He let someone go ahead of me and when I tried to inform him he moved on to the next victim. You might think we had different service needs but no, I was skipped over and now behind the guy he let go ahead of me. The final straw was him grabbing my $1500 phone out of my hand and dropping it on the weight scale without a care so he scan a barcode. He did this without asking me to set it down or instructing me to do so. I've had enough! UPS needs to send a rep to monitor the owner for a day to see he conducts this franchise. read more

Against my better judgment I popped into this location because I had two prepaid USPS packages that needed to be sent. The owner refused to take them and told me to go to the post office. I have dropped off pre paid packages to various UPS stores for YEARS (just did this morning to the UPS store by Moonlight Beach!) Never once has anyone refused to take my package. It's honestly like this guy is trying to run his business into the ground? Or is perhaps senile?? I have contacted the corporate headquarters of The UPS Store to report this location, they responded that they are aware of the issues with this store. Avoid. read more
