Shylene B.

Customer service is always sweet here! UPS locations can be a hit or miss sometimes, but even when the lines get long they push through customers pretty fast. On a busy busy day I've probably waited 10-15 minutes. I mainly stop in for amazon returns and the QR code process makes everything super simple. Limited parking spots in the front, but the parking lot is huge so parking has never been an issue for me.

FIRST RESPONSE
Jillian E.

I went in to return two Amazon items. For one, I had already packaged it and printed the label myself. For the other, I used the QR code option where the store prints and packages it for you. I only received one receipt, but I assumed it was because of the difference in return methods, so I didn't think much of it at the time. A few days later, I noticed I had only received a refund for one item--the one where they scanned the QR code and packaged it. I called the store to check on the second return. The person I spoke with was kind, but I felt like I wasn't getting a clear answer. She advised me to file a claim with UPS, which I did, only to find out that there was no record of the package at all--it had never been scanned into the system. That tells me the package was likely misplaced before it ever left the store. Also no manager was able to help with this situation which is frustrating because I did what I was supposed to do, drop off at a UPS store. I understand mistakes happen, but I was ultimately told there was nothing they could do and that I should contact Amazon for a refund. I hope the store takes extra care to ensure that all returns are properly scanned and that every customer receives a receipt for each package, regardless of the return method. It might also help to have more staff because every time I visit, there are usually only two employees working with a long line, which might be the reason my package was not properly taken care of. RESPONSE TO "OWNER": I dropped off two return packages at your location on the same day but only received a receipt for one of them. The tracking number I provided was the one I received -- for the package that was scanned and returned properly. The second package was never scanned, and I was never given a receipt for it. That's precisely the issue. I did everything I was supposed to do: I brought both packages to your store and handed them over at the counter. So if one package was processed and the other was not, that indicates it was misplaced at your location -- not an error on my part. I even asked if the cameras could be checked, but was told that wasn't possible. I don't need a receipt thanks to Amazon solving the issue and being able to refund me the money that was due to your fault, UPS. It's important to recognize that this was not a case of an incorrect tracking number or failure to drop off the package. The mistake happened after I left it in your care. The owner changed their response twice to my review -- the first was unbelievably rude and inconsiderate, and while I appreciate the second response being a bit more respectful, I can't help but find it unprofessional that two people responded so differently to my negative experience at this UPS store.

Needed to send out a package and Alyssa was right up to bat, helped me out real quick and informative! Definitely service oriented as I was in & out in less than 3 minutes for what I needed.

Great job. I've lost mail with usps, but I never lost anything with UPS. UPS is my choice when mailing any package.

I have used this locally owned business for years. They are friendly, fast, polite and efficient…read more And they are my go to for ; 1. Notary 2. Shipping I have ALWAYS experienced great service. They are tucked into a small space off Washington Street in Mission Hills, CA. Perfect little business to shop locally.

If you're looking for a business mailbox, I caution you against Mail Station!…read more I signed up for a box with them in January 2024. At the time, customer service was great and I was really happy to be a customer. For a long time, I got my mail and had no issues. (Though I did often have package slips but no package) Then, in February of 2026, I got very sick, resulting in a hospital stay and major surgery. Once I got out of the hospital, I realized my payment to Mail Station hadn't come out of my business account. I called multiple times. No answer, so I left a message with my name and number explaining that I had been in the hospital, but I wanted to bring my account current if possible. I wasn't able to even walk at the time, so I couldn't go in. I never got a response. I assumed I'd changed the card on file and that my account was current, as I never heard anything. That was my mistake. In June 2026, I am finally physically functional again. I go in to check my mailbox and notice the mail inside isn't for me. I approach the counter and say, "I think my mailbox has been reassigned." They confirmed it had. I ask "Why, was I delinquent in payment?" The older man and the young woman behind the counter look me up in the system, but said they didn't know why my box was reassigned. I asked where my mail was. They didn't know that either. They asked if I had been out of town for a bit. I explained I was in the hospital getting surgery and hadn't been able to come in. I explained that'd I'd called Mail Station, and even left a detailed message with no response. They said, "Oh. Wow. Well, we don't know." So: - Mail Station closed my account without any attempt to contact me. No calls, no emails. If payment is the reason for the closure, I would've happily taken care of my account if I'd been contacted. As it stands, no one can confirm why my account was closed. - Mail Station reassigned my box without asking for the key back or changing the lock on the mailbox. This gave me access to another business' mail. That's not cool for the other business owner. I wish I remembered their name so I could let them know. - Mail Station lost, threw away, returned, or otherwise misplaced my mail but couldn't tell me anything about it. - Mail Station didn't attempt to in any way resolve the issue and I barely got an apology. They didn't even ask for the key back--I volunteered it as I never want to do business with them again and it's super unethical for me to have access to another business' mail. If you value your mail, which I assume you do since you're looking to rent a box, Mail Station is NOT your best option.

The great convenience of being able to return packages here has made my life easier a number of times. This location is an important part of our little Shelter Island community, and you will be greeted with a smile and given the best customer service here. There is a very fast and convenient computer you can use to quickly access your print jobs, and the staff here have assisted me with some high quality copies of archival materials. I spent a good part of my grad school afternoons here printing documents in a rush, and I always appreciate the sense of calm the staff here contribute when I am under work or school deadlines.

Like other clients I can't Express enough gratitude to this family run small business!!!…read more They helped me tremendously to fight FedEx over a damage claim ( arrived to my buyer with package incredibly beat up.... even with 4 FRAGILE ITEM labels on all sides !! Bob and his wife so professional and FAIR in taking care of their customers!!!! It was a pleasure to leave a tip in their so- cute son's college fund tip jar !!! Look no further than this great business for all kind of critical services!

Very disappointed with how this situation was handled…read more I dropped off two packages here at the same time -- one USPS and one FedEx. Exactly one week later I found out via my buyer and checking the tracking # that the FedEx package was never scanned into the FedEx system and appears to have been mishandled or possibly sent out with the USPS package instead. I called and also later that day returned to the store and spoke with the same employee who originally accepted the packages. I explained my concern and suspicion that the labels werent read carefully and was told they would "call USPS" the following morning. What bothered me most was the complete lack of concern or accountability. There was no apology, no sense of urgency, and regardless of whether they were able to locate the package, no one ever followed up with me the next day to let me know what they found or whether they even tried to resolve the issue. Because of this, I am now dealing with a poor seller rating, refunding my buyer, losing the shipping costs, and losing the merchandise itself. Mistakes can happen, but customer service matters when they do. A simple apology, some effort to investigate, and an update would have gone a long way. Instead, I was left feeling like the loss of my package simply did not matter to them. I would not trust this location with an important.. or any shipment again.
