Yikes, I made the mistake of printing documents here because I had errands in Montclair. Wildly expensive at $1 per page for B/W plus a $4 fee (!) to send them the documents via email. My bad for not checking out their fees ahead of time, I'd assumed they'd be higher than a local shop but not exorbitant. I recommend you patronize Copy USA on Fruitvale. Less than $.25/page. Email the docs to yourself and you can access them on one of his computers (no fee). The owner is gruff but very helpful. read more

Please avoid this business at all costs. They don't honor their business hours nor can they send a simple fax. Absolutely worthless. They don't deserve one star. read more

I have been using this store for 20 years, mostly for shipping or online shopping returns, occasionally for notary service and have not had the problems the bad reviews talk about. Sometimes there is a wait when they are busy but all of the employees have been polite and helpful to me. read more

Horrible service and attitude . We almost always have problems here. Not at other stores UPS should dump this store read more

They are able to help print my precut soap product labels in a pinch, which is nice. Last time I went in they charged a service charge in addition to printing just a few pages of my black and white labels, which I was ok with since it took about 15 min to get it right. read more

I paid to have documents notarized. The County of Alameda rejected the documents for filing as the notary stamp was not legible. I returned to the UPS store to have them correct their error. The owner refused to redo properly unless I paid again. She said she fired the employee who had done the original notarization . As owner, she should have taken responsibility read more

This is hilarious came here today with a box to return and it needed a piece of tape and they refused to put tape on the box and said you could buy tape for five dollars or you can go home and tape it and bring it back. what a joke this might be the worst service and worst UPS store I've ever seen in my life. You guys are gonna lose a lot more business. Look at your reviews and how terrible you are. Lol read more

The young ladies who work there are nice and helpful, but the men are terrible and do not understand the concept of customer service. In addition to being rude, they ignore you until they finally deign to work. In addition, one employee tried to scan another person's package on top of my heavy one that had been scanned but not taken off the scale. I asked him to take mine off as he cannot add the weight of my heavy package to the elderly customer's package behind me. He irately asked me why I should care as I'm not paying for the shipping anyway. I care because it is fraudulent and this scam drives up the cost of goods being sold. So beware that this location condones overcharging their customers, be it individuals or the businesses that are providing prepaid returns by literally tipping the scales. Go to any other UPS store if you can to avoid unpleasantness and dishonest behavior. The other nearby UPS locations have better staff, who consistently provide courteous service and don't engage in unethical business tactics. read more

The entire staff here is amazing. I come 3-6 times a week and the employees are alwyas super helpful and so kind. I would highly recommend this UPS just because of these people. Leslie, Rohin, Sushma (I might be spelling this wrong) and all the other people who have helped me are absolutely incredible. I don't normally leave reviews, but these people deserve it because you don't always get this treatment especially when you need extra assistance. read more

We've been coming here for a couple of years now with no issues. We mostly just drop off Amazon returns and are well organized when we walk in - which we have actually been thanked for. Compared to other UPS shops we've frequented in the past, this is by far the friendliest store we've walked into. We are almost always met with a smile and appreciate this greatly. read more

It has parking. That's good Unfortunately some of the staff are soo unhelpful and kind of unpleasant. It also does not have internet service so if you are trying to do an Amazon return you will need to download the code or do a screenshot before. I think the owners don't care about much of anything. read more

There are enough bad reviews. So I'll be brief: (1) an employee was on a personal video call before, during and after my visit; (2) same employee cannot scan a QR code for an Amazon return claiming it's Amazon's technological issue (came back the following week and everything worked); and (3) needed a notarized signature and told that the notary wasn't in but will be in tomorrow... guess what happened the following day. If you are presently having a bad experience there, don't you lose your sh*t. There's a better option. There's another close that is close and they are run like a professional business: Lincoln Square Shopping Center 4100 Redwood Rd Space 20a, Oakland, CA 94619 Go there; it's 5-10 minutes away. They get things done and they're reliable. Best of all... you don't have to pay for parking! read more

I honestly don't know how this place stays in business, other than they have built in business with UPS shipping and the name. This franchise is HORRIBLY run. Besides the fact that they are beyond rude, they are completely incompetent. Over the last year, I pick up mail from a family member's business from the mailboxes there. There has never been a time I have picked it up and not had the wrong mail in the box (different box number). Some poor person had multiple important utility shutoff notices they never got! Once I accidentally opened the wrong mail and it was someone's handwritten check for $5 that they had clearly taken great care to write and mail to someone and the INCOMPETENT people at this branch couldn't even bother to get it in the right mailbox. I took the time to return it to sender. Today I had a notice of a large package delivery (that was a few weeks old) for the wrong box number, again. How hard can it be to put the mail in the right box? This has happened at least 7 times in one year, not a one-off mistake. I wonder what mail we are missing because they put it in someone else's box? read more

I have rented a box for the past 10 years, with minimal problems, however, these last 2 months have been met with unresponsive email, calls that go unanswered and when they are answered, the respondent indicates that they are unable to help and have to wait for the owner to come into the office. I drove to the location and it now looks like they are closed. There is nobody at the facility and the calls are unanswered. Unsure how I am going to collect my mail, but I would not recommend this location. Check it out. Of the 217 Reviews, 156 were one star and half wanted to assign them a negative star rating read more

Man, woman, and child I feel like using a long list of expletives in regards to this business. If I could give this place negative stars I would...but no such luck. Long story short...my packages were re-routed to this location for pickup, however, unbeknownst to me this location is too small to accommodate an order my size...which is fine. However, if that is the case it would be optimal for UPS to alert me to this fact before shipping them there...or don't ship them there at all. A message was left for me saying my order was being refused and shipped back to the manufacturer...so when I tried to call back to prevent this, the line was busy for over an hour. I attempted to call 92 times while driving across town in rush hour traffic...yes 92 times. Luckily I arrived right in time as my order was being put back on a truck to be routed back to New York. Unfortunately, my car is small and they unwilling to store my order until opening the following morning so in turn I ordered a Lugg to help me out...those guys were rad btw. Unfortunately though, that cost me an extra $100 to get my packing materials to my office...finally. All and all, this place sucks. I don't normally write bad reviews but this was an awful experience that didn't need to be so awful. Extremely lame and incompetent. read more

The UPS Store - 92 unanswered calls - Shipping Centers Near Me - Oakland, California

See all

There's just no reason to treat people like that. I've seen them do it to others, there's a reason their Yelp star rating is so low. It's one thing for them to try and sneak a ridiculous charge of $14 for a shipping box and a $4 packing fee for putting tape on the box. But the attitude of the employees is just so unnecessary. And they don't seem to realize that with their door open, you can hear them complain about you after you leave. These people belong in non-consumer facing positions. read more

This UPS store has the rudest/employees owners and worst customer service I have ever had to do business with. They are slow, surly and act like they are doing you a favor by being rude when they keep you waiting while they do busywork. I will never step foot in this location again and I live extremely close. If I could give negative stars I would. read more

I don't ever give bad reviews but this experience was so bad. I came in with an Amazon return. I mistakenly did not bring a box, and so the lady got frustrated and told me I'd have to pay a $19 fee. I simply asked if there was another option (like buying a box from them), and she said you can buy a box and the large roll of tape equaling $22. She was rude and curt and walked off to do absolutely nothing at the other bay for no reason. I see masking tape on the desk, and asked if I can use their tape to tape the box I would buy and she said "No, that's not for your. " Won't be going there again. read more

Sad to say I was treated very badly at this location when dropping off an Amazon return. Got almost yelled at for mixing up two return codes. I was patient and stood aside while she helped other customers while proceeding to insult me! I guess they don't get paid for processing Amazon returns but a little human kindness and courtesy for taking 5 minutes of her time would have been nice. My dog has been treated better at this place. read more

The ladies who run the store are always rude and unhelpful. I have taken USPS boxes to many UPS locations (of which huge kudos to Lincoln Square UPS who does this for me weekly) but was in Montclair village today so expected they same great service I get every other UPS location but again disappointed w the service here. This location never helps they said they refuse to take USPS boxes for returns. Hey UPS HQ you may want to check out on this horrible store that carries your brand. Also when I walked in the store was completely empty there were no clerks so anyone could've walked in here stolen your packages or anything off the wall. I actually had to yell is anyone working here today and I was met with "wait I'll be there when I have a minute." @ups not a good reflection of your brand read more

If you're using this store as an access point to pick up your package/purchase, DON'T CHOOSE THIS LOCATION! I had two packages sent here according to the tracking number and the email I got from the retailer, but when I went to pick them up the staff told me they did not have/could not find my packages. Even though records show that items were signed and left at the office (with the exact address of this location listed), the manager from this store told me that they do not recognize the name that received the package. They did not try to help. The manager was the one with the worst attitude and she was also very rude to the staff that was trying to help me. When the staff went to her for support, she was extremely condescending. I could not collect my packages that were worth more than $200. Avoid this store at any cost. There is another UPS store on Piedmont Ave with better service and efficiency. read more

Worst managed UPS store I have ever experienced. The employees are very rude. Rather than having a clear drop off spot for pre paid and packaged boxes, they force all customers to stand in a single line (which includes people who are needing to package/ box/ etc their packages). There was a 20 min line of 10 people, and they would not open a second register or allow people to just drop - even though there was a second employee doing nothing. Will drive across town to go to a different location! And you should too. read more

I would not recommend this location. I'm just now getting around to writing this review, but I mailed a package in late January that didn't arrive to its destination. I called them multiple times and went down there to get them to help me locate the package. They left me on hold, told me "the manager wasn't in" and otherwise found ways to ignore me, multiple times. They then took all my information to open an investigation, but after about 3 weeks of not hearing anything I had to call and go down there again and was told they hadn't actually opened an investigation. So now they took my info again and actually opened one, and I eventually got $100 in the mail from UPS, but there was no reason for the people at this store to not be helpful in tracking down my missing package. Thumbs down. 2 stars instead of 1 because the package did eventually get there and I did get a check. read more

I was setting a forwarding mail service. They literally sent it to the wrong address. This is big and serious mistake as I had very important mail. They said they could do nothing for me even though I have emails that I have sent to them stating the right address. They have messed up big that and will not take responsibility for anything they do. They have no respect and are not even apologizing for what they did and how badly that have messed things up. read more

Common sense does not prevail at this location. I am directed to this store since UPS could not deliver to an office since it was closed. I had the "notice" from UPS which was made out to my wife's business and her name. she could not retrieve the package. She asked me to pick it up. The folks in this store would not let me pick up the package without my wife physically coming to the store or I bringing her ID. After a lot of arguing they finally allowed me to have her send me a picture of her ID. All they had to was to tell me that in the beginning - but no - they wanted her personally until I prevailed. Shop elsewhere. Plus they are overpriced. read more

As many reviewer's have noted, displays can push you over the edge. The workers could not care less. I come here frequently ONLY because it is convenient to my kid's school. Their computer is down ALL the time. They are often closed first thing in the morning when, hello, their hours clearly state they are open. They don't give a damn when the main entrance to the building on LaSalle isn't open, even if it means no foot traffic, because it's *not their job* to open it. Yes they actually said that to me. Nice. The list goes on. I mean, come on! Awful. read more

This store has definitely earned it's 1 star rating. I sent in a simple order to print two pages, color, cardstock and cut them. They literally just forgot about my order. So when I came in it was a 30 minute wait for them to get the files printed. (with insanely slow computer system). This eliminated the whole point of emailing in my order at the beginning of the day. read more

The employees never open the store on time and I can no longer rely on this UPS store. Multiple times I've been in a line of people waiting to drop off packages when the store is supposed to open and they don't show up to open the store until 30+ minutes after the stated open time. It's even worse during weekdays. Since UPS is supposed to open the earliest, they're responsible for unlocking the building which contains ~10 other businesses. Them being late leads to delivery drivers and vendors waiting outside to make deliveries to the other businesses within the shopping center. When you come back an hour later, the UPS employees will straight up lie to you and say they opened on time, not knowing you were there when they were supposed to be open and they weren't. Super unprofessional. read more

Eh. They are very short with you when you talk to the people here and lack basic customer service skills. Not a fan of this location unfortunately. read more

Great to have this UPS and Amazon drop off place so close. Easy parking. Everyone who works there is very pleasant and helpful. Not sure why it has such a low rating. I've had great service here! read more

The UPS needs to change the owners of this store. The owner has no sense of customer service and is extremely rude. My UPS package, I sent from this store, is lost. I paid $132 to send the package. I went there today and asked about the status and she was rude and made me feel like I am wasting her time. She was not able to get the status of my package and said I need to call UPS. I told her the I am at the UPS store and she needs to call them to get the status. She told me "I don't care" and walked away. I haven't has such a bad experience EVER! Do yourself a favor and DON'T go to this store if you value your self respect and customer service. read more

The UPS Store - Shipping Centers Near Me - Oakland, California

This place is GREAT! I definitely don't agree with other reviews. My husband and I are there multiple times per week. Here's what I experience: 1) Great service (courteous, fast, professional) 2) convenient hours of operation 3) Take my Amazon returns without packaging 4) Take my UPS shipments that I've labeled on my own and paid lower online prices 5) Great selection of cards and office supplies 6). They sell stamps 7) Easy to park The prices aren't low but this place is a major convenience. You have to pay a bit more for that. They even helped me out my stamps on my Christmas cards. Highly recommend! read more

Do people really read Yelp reviews for the UPS store?! Not too sure, but let me tell you about this store ... the customer service is HORRIBLE!! Staff is unprofessional, and rude. They are very rude and yell at elderly people (I saw the staff yell at elderly people two times when I was there for 10 mins). They pick and choose when to enforce their 2 customers in the store at a time COVID policy. There was an elderly man in front of me and he walked into the store when 2 other customers were in there and the cashier YELLED at him to get out because there is only 2 customers allowed at a time; however, 5 minutes later the same cashier was letting at least 3 customers come. As someone previously mentioned in another post - the employees are liars. They make up their own policies that do not align with UPS' policies. The "manager" does not wear a name tag on her polo - but she should so we can know her name!! I actually had to call UPS corporate on this store location, and couldn't even provide the managers name that I had been dealing with all morning. I know its hard to avoid coming to this UPS store because its the only one in the immediate area, but if you can - avoid them! read more

Great store, come here all the time for notary attestations and mailings. I definitely recommend!

This location is small but the girls and gentlemen who work there are great. Super friendly and helpful!

Exceptional service!!! This was at the UPS location on LaSalle Ave in Montclair - today was no exception. Deep helped me with a pesky Amazon return. She was patient and kind as I struggled with my phone to pull up the return info. I appreciated her wonderful demeanor and as a result of it she truly delivered an excellent customer experience for me. I will continue to do all of my UPS business at this location knowing there are people like Deep there to help. read more

I would be extremely hesitant shipping anything out of this UPS store. I came in to ship a 45lbs end table I needed to return to a vendor. I knew it'd be pricey but nothing could prepare me for the nearly $800 quote I was given by the staff. This was with insurance, using the cheapest, slowest option provided by UPS. Something immediately seemed fishy and asked them to break down the costs for me. Among other ridiculous charges, they were going to charge me $150 for the packaging alone. Needless to say, I decided to leave. That day, I called UPS corporate to understand whether or not the $800 quote was what I should expect. They said absolutely not and were shocked that I was given a quote this high. They said I shouldn't have been quoted any more than $400 for the service I was asking for. After all that, I decided to go to a different location in Piedmont where I was able to get the exact same options for a total of $240. read more

Not an idea UPS store. They have two locations across the hall. The location that does the actual shipping was empty so I had to go across the hall to the print/P.O. Box side and find a staff member to help me. Even at that point they didn't seem concerned or cared much for customer service. Won't be going back anytime soon. read more

I come to this UPS store mainly to drop off Amazon packages. If there were a Whole Foods or other UPS store closer I would never ever step foot in this place. The people who work there are arrogant and extremely unhelpful. They also charge you an arm and a leg for everything. $5 to use some tape to close off a package- lesson learned there. Mostly it's the attitude of the staff that has put me off. Like if you don't enjoy working with customers, go work somewhere else. Not surprised at all by the super low rating of this UPS store. read more

Staff that moves like turtles and don't want to acknowledge customers. Was it just a bad day? Idk!
