I do not think I've ever been in a UPS store, and the employee has not been professional and kind. However, this morning, walking in saying good morning, I was looked at and nothing. Not only that, the box was literally snatched by the employee, who was obviously not in a good mood. I'll continue with other locations. The unpleasant experience was not what I expected when walking into a UPS store. read more

Worst UPS store ever. What UPS store doesn't carry priory mailing slips???? I usually avoid this one anyways due to the horrible parking. But after the workers were just so rude to me, I will never be back. read more

Maine was a great help today. Made my transaction easy and smooth. Great customer service. Def recommend

Every time I have gone in there the employees act like you are inconveniencing them. They are rude when you ask questions, doesn't matter what it is, has happened multiple times. I was trying to use the self scanner and one stated it needed to be done at the desk and then the employee yanked it from my hand and let out a loud sigh, almost like I was in the wrong. Never have I experienced such rude employees from UPS. They have now twice told me I couldn't use the shipping box because it had writing on it! To be clear, not old labels or bar codes but literally the size of the box and once the box that had the original item in it and the box that Amazon used to ship to me. I placed a new label over the old one, I had never even opened the package. The last time when I requested the shipping receipt for my packages the young gentleman, flung it at me, not handed it. I have never once been rude, unkind or even had the slightest attitude, I always try to remember that someone may be going through something that we are not aware of. Considering this is the repeated experience, it's not just someone having a bad day. This is my closest location but I will not be going back there. People are in desperate needs of jobs, they act like you're taking away from their day and are visibly irritated. EVERY TIME. read more

I have never walked into this store and left with evening the slightest pleasant experience. It doesn't matter if it's jam packed or empty. I just left the store this morning after returning 2 Amazon packages. The employee's first word to me was "code" and the next words were "which package" and that was it! Nothing more. No Hello, no Goodbye. Nothing. I was the only person in the store. And I've had this type of experience multiple times. I'm usually not one to write any type of reviews but after seeing the others having the same problem, it seemed fitting. Let's be honest, 2.4 stars is not a good look and if it were my business in south Tampa, I would definitely address the community's concerns about the experience we're getting by walking in those doors. read more

I rarely write reviews but I'm writing this with the hopes that whoever owns this franchise reads this and does a "secret shopper" test on his or her employees. While a few a great, there is one who is not helpful. One time I went for a notary and because there wasn't what she considered a designated spot on the form, she would not do it. I ended up going elsewhere, and it was done with no problem. Today, I went to return two boxes. One was in an Amazon box and the other in a much sturdier non-Amazon AND she would not take the STURDIER box but she would take the more flimsy Amazon box. Makes no sense!! I drove to a different UPS store and they accepted it with no problem. They were baffled as to why the other UPS store wouldn't take the box. I see another review for an unfriendly associate....yep that's her! Unhelpful and making up her own rules. I recommend going to the new store on Manhattan! A friendly guy said hello right as I walked in the door. read more

Unfortunately, I have consistently experienced poor customer service at this location. While I understand that employees may be busy and working under pressure, professionalism and courtesy should remain a priority when interacting with customers. Repeated negative attitudes toward customers create an unwelcoming experience and reflect poorly on the business. If customer-facing service is a frequent source of frustration, it may be worth considering a role that is not centered on direct customer interaction. read more

Every time I walk into the UPS store on W Gandy, one of the workers is very unhappy. I politely asked if she could rescan my package because I gave her the wrong item originally, and she had me undo my bags and put my items in myself. Aside from the fact that she doesn't even say hello, the way she treats her customers as a whole is just completely unacceptable. I understand that it takes two seconds to drop off a package so maybe they aren't looking for personality hires, but UPS really did themselves a disservice with hiring someone like this. read more

Justin and Maine are very friendly and helpful! Always have a great experience at 5509

Waited in line for so long (line is out the door). Machine didn't work to do self ship (all I need to do is put a label on it as I have the QR code) , I finally get to the front and she is trying to charge me to print out the label.... Mind you I've already paid for shipping....she also told me she could not give me a reciept...like no help just said she couldn't... I literally left and the same exact thing happened to the lady in front of me! They were trying to charge her 33 dollars to ship a tiny box (size of glasses) and she literally left...Save your time and money and go to the post office read more

Not good by a long shot. Fire the young black, thin girl that works there- she abuses customers - doesn't answer the phone and may have a scam running because she charges people $100 for picking up a package - when the UPS website says FREE pick up. I'm calling corporate today and might take this issue viral to the TV station. This store and employee are the worst of the worst. I am suspecting fraud and will call the police if my situation isn't dealt with. read more

This UPS store is the worst. I'm looking at other reviews and agree. There is one lady there who is ALWAYS so rude. She isn't the only one but she is definitely the worst. She never says hello or greets anyone. I'm going to look for another location. I dread going there. Get new staff! read more

This was the worst experience I have ever encountered at a UPS store. The girl was extremely rude and basically wanted me to do her job for her. Use the store on Macdill where the staff is always friendly. I only went here because my package was rerouted so I had no choice. Horrible! read more

Incompetent and rude. The people who run this store are the worst. they lost my package and blame me for it.

I've been using this location for two years and have always been impressed by the service provided by the staff.

UPS, generally speaking, doesn't have the greatest track record when it comes to customer service, but I have to give credit where credit is due and this store is definitely much better than any of the others I've been to. The manager is absolutely lovely. During the hurricane aftermath when the power was out for several days, she parked right outside the store for hours and helped anyone trying to come in. She made sure we could get our packages shipped out. It definitely felt like above and beyond customer service. Most of the staff is friendly, especially the young girl with the long curls. She had such a lovely attitude and it was refreshing compared to the other experiences I've had at other UPS stores. Keep up the good work! read more

The staff was incredibly rude and disrespectful. While I was reading the terms and conditions of the shipping service she was tapping her foot and making it known that she was displeased that I was taking more of her time. Would actively recommend not going here. read more

You could start by having competent people running the front desk! The girl at the front treated me like I was the biggest pain in her ass because she had to read a tracking number that I couldn't read off my phone because I forgot my glasses. Not only did I have to put up with all her eye rolling the whole time When I was done and said thank you so much I appreciate your help. She didn't even look at me and yelled NEXT! I think you guys need to send all those people back to customer service training. That's why you get shitty reviews all the time. read more

Female working on Saturday June 22 was very rude and not helpful at all! Adding more characters since this requires 85 minimum. read more

Will never go back. Never have had such a hard time shipping a box. I am a small business and try to reuse boxes to ship stuff. Was told that they do not ship manufactured boxes. That got me going because they didn't realize what they were saying. ALL boxes are manufactured by somebody. Anyways, tried wrapping said box and was told, after cutting open my wrapping. That they still wouldn't ship the box. UPS policy, is what I was told. I then proceeded to call UPS to get a clarification of the UPS policy. " If it is in a sealed box, it ships." As per UPS. I understand that the stores can make their own rules, but at least own it and not blame the actual shipper. I guess it is alright for a box to have Amazon or Home Depot on it. read more

1. A few months ago I dropped off a package to be shipped. My family received some unknown persons package! I called this UPS four times to resolve it; they were unresponsive. After two weeks of no response, my family went to their local UPS store and shipped the wrong package to the right person and they got theirs too. 2. I went again to drop off a package, when it was my turn the staff just looked at me when I asked them a question. So I just put the package on the counter and said this needs to be sent out. They said nothing and I left. Luckily, the package made it to its destination! 2. Today. I went in with a Canon toner cartridge to recycle in its proper colorful Canon Box. Canon prepaid for the shipping and I had the label. Even though I had shipped one like this before, today they insisted that I would need to buy a brown box to ship it in. I refused. I've had garbage service too many times here. I hope the franchise owner either changes things or sells it to someone that can make this location work. read more

I go to this store often. All the employees at this store are professional, courteous, helpful, honest and super friendly. The store manager Ms. Karissa Rodgers is awesome, always leads by example. read more

I was hung up on by Jody and was belittled and insulted while on the call and told that "this is a franchise location we can do what we want". During the conversation instead of helping she continued stating "she can explain but she can't help me understand" as to say my comprehension skills are lacking in some way. Karissa did try to help and explain after Jody hung up on me and told me to get out of the store. I would like a call from corporate to further discuss my interaction. read more

I've been here several times to drop off packages and most recently I came here to use their notary services. Karissa, the manager, was great helping me get squared away with all my paperwork and the necessary signatures/stamps. read more

Karissa, manager at this location, was very helpful in getting a large print job finished quickly before a long weekend. Great service and highly recommend. read more

I recently visited the Gandy Blvd. store (3-1-21 at 4:41pm). I was surprised at how poor the customer service was of the manager at this store. I decided not to ship my package because of her terrible attitude and poor customer service. In addition, there was a BIG sign on the door asking for customers to adhere to the 4 person only maximum for capacity. She was extremely pleasant to the "regular" customer that walked in completely disregarding the rules. I'm assuming he a regular customer because she called him by name, smiled at him, and proceeded to continue her snappy flow of customer service to me. I guess only "regular" customers get quality customer service at this store! Completely shocked by this treatment! read more

The updated store is great! a lot easier to naviagte. They are always super friendly and happy - Karissa is a delight!

My mom shipped a package from there and I never received. Tracking showed it never left store. So my mom went by to see if they could look for it. The woman was dismissive and refused to look said it was impossible that it was still there. My mom called ups and they opened an investigation. Three weeks later I finally receive package and on box someone had written "RTS never picked up" which I suspect means it was placed in package pickup section of store. Mistakes happen, but if the woman had bothered to look in first place maybe it would have been found a lot sooner. read more

This is the most expensive ups store I ever been , and the blonde lady at the register was very unprofessional and rude I would give this store 0 stars if I could just drive to another store , you will save money and a bad experience ! read more

The UPS Store - Shipping Centers Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This review is for Manager/Operator of store: Publicized opening 8am. Employee arrives at 8:01, lets customers in at 8:03; spends 4-5 minutes trying to log on computer, handles my return promptly. Tells me to come back at 10am to take care of my notarized form because she's the only person in store and there's more people in line, and notarize process will take too long. 10am is when another employee is supposed to arrive. She said I can cut the line and go directly to her at 10 to notarize form. This is highly inconvenient for me. I hope I don't have to use the store again. The employee was OK, three star rating, but management should ask the employees to come in 10 to 15 minutes early and have the store ready for customers. They also might want to have two employees on duty at all times, or publicize hours where you can come in and get a form notarized. When I walked into the store, I thought I would able to complete the transactions I needed the store for. Very poor management to do this to your employees, and let this happen to employees and customers. Potential customers- find somewhere else to do your business. This is not the first time that I have had average or below average service at the store. read more

Karissa could not have made things better for me. The line was long, the phone was ringing, there were terrible reviews on this store....and she managed to get the line taken care of, talk on the phone, give excellent customer service, and get me out of there within 5 min.Awesome. read more

I only visit this store because it is the closest one for convenience but the staff is consistently rude and unpleasant. Might be worth an extra drive to find a better location. read more

Terrible customer service after the fact when an item was lost due to very poor packing on their part. Both myself sender and recipient have been trying to get a response from management for over a month to no avail. Multiple Management personnel won't return phone calls, emails or respond to my in house visits. Still waiting for a response. Corporate office says we have to deal with local store. Stuck in the middle. Finally after 7 calls and left messages Elena (manager?) answers and gets mad at me for calling and asking for claim number. She said she sent it to my email. Which she had wrong email and hung up. read more

Poor customer service and rude clerks. Went in to ship back amazon package and wanted to charge to print label and a convenience fee. I left and will not be back. read more

DO NOT COME HERE! I returned an Amazon package here in November (iPad) along with a separate return (the stylus pens). I paid to ship the iPad back to Amazon which was about $5, and one of the employees stole it. it was never marked as shipped or scanned by Amazon. but Amazon received my stylus pens and I was refunded for it. I tried to call this store multiple times and did not receive a response even after leaving voice messages. if you have a return please take it to an Amazon return center to avoid haven your package stolen like mine. read more

Never an enjoyable experience. Conveniently located but you're better off driving up Manhattan/Henderson to the new friendly location to avoid the misery at this place. read more

I have been going to this location for a few years now. I'm not sure why there are some negative reviews. The staff is always great, helpful and professional. Every single package has been shipped as expected and delivered. To date I have shipped over 100 packages out and never had an issue. Special thanks to this small business for looking out for the community and honoring their commitment to expedite every shipment. read more
