I recommend that you AVOID THE UNIVERSITY PLACE UPS STORE AT ALL COSTS... There are several others in the area that provide really good service, better hours and have MUCH EASIER parking .This store provides truly terrible customer service. We have had this box for a few years... access/ parking was horrible. They seem to go though employees like water... The owner is a stressed out, rude young man... When my husband and I finally gave up and came in to close our box... he said to my husband, "he didn't care if this 80 year man closed his box or not" (btw my husband is only 70... :-)... truly bizarre behaviour... It was an unbelievable exchange. I've never seen anything like it. If you read this please share with your friends in the area... close your box and find better service and a business owner that cares about his customers. read more

I was flabbergasted by the amount of one star reviews for this place, but then looked further and every UPS store in the area has 2-3 star average reviews so maybe it just comes with the job. Me personally, I haven't had any issues. My mom and I used to have a box here so we came and got mail a lot, and I also sell online so I send some things out too. They even take my USPS mail unless it's oversized. The employees have always been kind to my mother and I and even remember our names. They've also offered to help us bring out packages when there's no other customers which they don't have to do. I feel bad I don't remember their names! I'm horrible with names. Parking is awful but that's not their fault. I've only had great experiences here! read more

Just went to pick up my package and the store is closed for remodeling. Now my package is being returned to sender because I'm unable to pick it up. read more

Extremely disappointed with The UPS Store #2149. Despite confirming details in advance, the order was handled unprofessionally - the quality was unacceptable. I attempted to resolve the issue in-store, but my request for a refund was refused. I would not recommend this location for any printing services. read more

The clerk lacked passion for her job. She did half the job and did the two returns to Amazon incorrectly. Therefore, I am trying to correct the return to get full credit for one of the items. Very disappointed. read more

This store is the best UPS store. The Lakewood store is horrible, they lie to you about your Amazon returns so you have to buy their crap. This store is honest and always takes my Amazon returns in the boxes I packed them in. The young lady at the counter is always friendly and smiling. read more

I emailed the customer service from this store that replied to my review.. months ago and have yet gotten a reply back. Why bother even replying to negative comments? I went to this ups again because it was on the way of my errands. The korean lady was there again, she saw me waiting to be helped but continue to do whatever she was doing on the side until someone else got in line. She said nothing to me but scanned my amazon return. (She didnt give me a problem because my package was already in a brown box). Why bother being in the customer service industry if you cant provide it read more

Parking lot is a little wonky, however once inside the reception was quick and easy to navigate. Copies made and Out the door in less than 2 minutes! read more

Just came from this store to return an Amazon package. The clerk was very rude. My son recently had the same experience. I won't go back. I'll drive across town instead of deal with them a 3rd time. read more

Went in today to send about 25 pages via fax, AFTER the faxes were sent the employee told me the cost is $1.49/ per page!! Ended up costing 40.00!!! If I would have been notified of the cost prior to having them sent I would have turned around and walked out the door. USPS from now on! read more

Lady here who works here is rude and unpleasant. I'm not sure she even understands English, and keeps telling me my packages are heavy as she is getting them from the back. They will not met someone pick up the package for you with an ID. read more

I put in an order online to print a really long document (270 pages). When I called after the print job was due, someone explained to me that they never received it, and there's nothing they could do now to print it off. I emailed the store with a copy of my order confirmation that said the online order was sent to their store to see if someone else could resolve it, and the same customer service representative called me back and repeated what she'd said before. When I asked how I could get a refund, she said to contact UPS. When I asked for the number for UPS, she said that I could find it myself. I normally don't write bad Yelp reviews because everyone's just trying to do their jobs, but she was pretty rude and determined not to offer any kind of assistance after I'd waited eight hours for them to print something off. read more

The store called me to come in to file a claim, the next day the clerk was rude and he was frustrated because he didn't k ow what to do and how to help me. I'm asking him to help me problem solve my lost package. He said I had an attitude and he wasn't going to put up with it. I was confused because I didn't intend that. I was frustrated but not with him. So I thought he misunderstood and I will apologize that he felt that way. He didn't not accept my apology and chose not to service me and not help me for the problem the store caused. He said respond and said "we are all adults ". Uhm what? Didn't I apologize because he felt sensitive and overwhelmed. I don't know his story but if he has issues, he needs to leave it at home. When dealing with customers or clients he should know how to effectively communicate instead of assuming. Just wondering what was he there for. read more

I'm very torn in this review. The one guy at the front (I believe his name was nick) was extremely nice. He was dealing with a large number of customers by himself and he did it as fast as he could while still doing it well and with a positive attitude. But then I had to come back the same day about 10 minutes later, and the woman (who I believe might be an owner) came in and logged in and was extremely rude. She was short with people and just looked like we were the problem for being there. She told me she couldn't process my return because it wasn't in a bag. (It was in a bag) and Amazon doesn't require bags for returns. The guy at the front worked extremely hard to make everyone feel good and taken care of and she ruined it in a 15 second encounter. read more

if there an option for me to give this place -100 stars if I could. Came for fax, there no one but me, waiting over an hours because she keep help peoples who came after me. Smh . Never come here foe anything. Slow service and people who work there don't even know to do anything read more

I've been getting mail here for little over a year and the staff have always been helpful and friendly. The store is always clean and tidy and I glean get all my errands done in one stop! read more

It's beyond me why this location doesn't hire more people. Lines always so long and it's never quick. Hire more people please! One guy doing everything isnt good for anyone. read more

I've been pleasantly surprised the last several of visits. Instead of the older woman who always seems to be having a loud personal conversation her phone the whole time you're there, I've been helped by a young man and two young women. They all have greeted me when I enter the shop, been vocal about, "I'll be right with you," and helped promptly. One of the young women was even on the phone with their IT because she opened the store that day and one of their Point of Sale (POS) registers went down. She was calm and collected and superbly managed my transaction while simultaneously relating her issue to the support guy on the phone. It's getting SO much better here! I even asked if they are under new ownership because I was so impressed. read more

This Asian owned store with Mom and son working there is GREAT. I really appreciate how nice they are to me (I rent a mail box) and how they always have all of my packages quickly. Sometimes I get 5-7 packages and some are heavy and they take care of my stuff and never complain. Some times during the year they get really busy and some people are super rude to them. They are always nice back. The owner has a pretty strong accent but she understands everything you say and can communicate well. Sometimes I think people treat her poorly due to her accent and it angers me. She's there pretty much all day everyday doing a great job. Plus, her son is so hard working and kind. Excellent local ownership! read more

I had a package shipped here that the male Asian clerk taped closed as I watched him. My package reached its destination on time without all of its contents. The bottom of the box was cut open and retapped closed. Same day the package was delivered I returned to this UPS and as I started to tell the female Asian clerk about my package being tampered with the Asian guy who processed the order came running from the back attempting to take over the conversation that I was having with his mom. I 100% believe he was the one that stole the valuable contents from the package. I asked to file a complaint and thus far I've heard nothing back from UPS. He saw the contents of my package & tampered with it by cutting open the previous amazon tape and stole the contents then shipped it out. When he heard my distinctive voice and the words tampered package he came urgently left his break to interfere with the info I was communicating with his mom. It was too evident. A customer even made a comment about how he came out from the back in panic. She said his face said it all. Isn't it a federal crime to tamper with someone's mail? Freaking thief read more

The UPS Store - Printing Services Near Me - University Place, Washington

See all

The owner has been late several times to open the business when I've been waiting outside. Then started charging me for computer time that I used to print return labels. I was on the computer all of one minute and she charged me, without telling me first. Do yourself a favor and use any of their competitors in the area, my favorite being The Mail Room. Hope that $2.11 was worth all the rest of my business. read more

My wife paid for overnight shipping of a package and after dropping it off, received two calls on the way home telling her she would have to pay significantly more. We decided this was ridiculous and picked up the package. When I expressed my displeasure to Nick, the manager, he completely dismissed my concerns, laughed at me and called me a terrible person. This was by far the worst customer experience I have ever had. FedEx just gained a customer for life! read more

The lady who runs this store yelled at me accusing me of doing something I've never done before. It was my first time walking into this establishment. Very unprofessional! read more

We went into this store to do some copying, after the Governor had mandated mask-wearing. The woman behind the counter was not masked. I politely said I could not do business in there, for safety reasons. She said that was fine. We left. In the midst of the rising numbers of Covid in Pierce County, I strongly recommend avoiding this store. read more

Only one problem in years. And it was not about sending a package. Used them as a notary public to certify three large envelopes. $20 a stamp. $60. Totally rip off, but I was ill, under medication, and out of it. So he got away with it. Called two days later, but manager said there was no record of it in their "Notary" log. Right. Live and learn. read more

I was moving out of Washington and needed to ship a 7 foot standing desk. I paid over 300 for shipping and packaging only to receive the desk with all four corners smashed in and all the wood had been split, and there were two very large gashes in the front that were about an inch deep. I sent the package to the UPS claims department which evaluated the packaging as insufficient. The entire time the UPS store kept calling me telling me I needed to come in to the store in person to pick up my desk as it was sent back to them. I tried explaining multiple times that I could not as I no longer lived in Washington. Then the claim check was sent to the UPS store and when they called to tell me I told them they would need to send me the check to which they said I still needed to come in to the store in person to pick up the desk and then they would give me the check. I had to call about 8 different UPS numbers including two different UPS corporate numbers trying to find a solution until I came across an email customerrelations@upsstore.com. Eventually they sent me a check after fighting with them for about a month. They also had become informal over the phone and started hanging up on me and at one point the owner of the store told me "not my problem" and hung up. This store is completely incompetent and not worth going to. Since these stores are franchises you will have to deal with that store if anything happens to your package. I would recommend either going to the UPS store near 6th ave or just staying away from UPS completely. Their numbers will direct you to the same automated menu that will send you to the same departments. This took over a month to get resolved and clearly landed outside of their guidelines as the desk should have either been returned to me or left at facility near my new residence. Also since I was moving I put my new address as both the shipping and return address so if they want to say that it needed to be returned to shipper, it still should have come back to me. Avoid this store unless you are sending something small and its only going a few blocks, and then at that point, just drive it there yourself. read more

The person working here was not wearing a mask after mandatory mask policy was set by Governor. A "medical condition" shouldn't prevent the employee from wearing a face shield. Also, there were customers (2) inside without a mask without being asked to wear one. This store's disregard for public health has lost my regular business. They should follow the excellent example set by Mud Bay next door to them in how to keep the public safe while continuing to do business. This store has taken no steps to keep the public safe. read more

I've been using this UPS store for a number of years and can't say enough about them. Always fast and friendly service, usually 2 and even 3 folks on the counter - makes it very easy to get in and out. Jonathan and James are always welcoming and friendly - so not like the "Post Office" LOL! I also have a mail box here - the annual price is comparable to anywhere else, and they accept deliveries from any carrier which is nice. And you also get a key to the front door so you can get to your mail box on Sundays or after hours - another nice touch. They do offer minimal copy and print services - nothing too advanced of course, but if you just need some copies or print off a batch of color documents, the convenience is much better than having to stand in line a Kinkos. Nice remodel job recently as well - looks really nice inside. I totally recommend this UPS store for shipping, mail boxes and basic printing services. read more

This location has improved so much just by new employees now! So nice and positive! I'm a crazy amazon shopper so I'm in often and it's nice not feeling unwelcome- they are quick and friendly read more

What a terrible experience. Avoid this store. Very unhelpful and rude. UPS destroyed a package in transit and both UPS and this store will not help me to return it. I'm never going back read more

Worst UPS franchise I have ever been to. The corporate UPS store helped us receive our child's medication by rerouting to this local store without a fee. This local store would not honor what corporate arranged and held our child's medication hostage until we paid for an item that the pharmacy already already paid to overnight ship. The fee was not for delivering, we still had to pick it up. The guy that says he's the manager was a jerk! Don't go to this location. read more

The lady that manages the store doesn't know anything about customer service. Communication barrier. She didn't want me to leave the packages because there were too many!!! Common lady, you don't want to work? Lazy people shouldn't be in contact with clients. read more

SHAME ON UPS STORE LAKEWOOD and OWNER of The UPS Store PLEASE I IMPLORE YOU DO NOT USE TO SEND ANYTHING EVER!! I wish I could give negative stars, this one star is unjust! And their excuses are hideous, they blame UPS for the damage(Are they not part of UPS?) Just saying!! They promise a services and did not deliver. Not only did they not deliver they damaged my package and only RETURNED 1/2 of my property 2 days later than it was supposed to be delivered! I paid almost $58.00 for an important document to be notarized and overnight-ed from Tacoma to LasVegas, this particular document was so important and life altering if not received! Upon getting my damaged documents back they only had 4 pages torn in 1/2 and the bottom half at that, the rest of the documents were gone! They didn't even TRY to rectify the situation, no management only 3 employees who didn't know a thing about customer service! The did offer a phone number posted on the wall to call for complaints(which they never answer) and to top it off they charged me again to re-notarize and fax a second set of the document to the company in which it was intended to receive it two days prior. This was the most disgusting treatment i have ever received, to not even TRY to rectify or make a bad thing better they made it worse! NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER!!!!! read more

Friendly staff! The young lady who took my package in was very friendly and gave me a painless transaction while being very polite as she walked me through the shipping process. I will go back here again. read more

Wish there was zero stars. The young man who worked there was incredibly rude and unhelpful.

I attempted to mail three packages from the UPS store in Green Firs shopping center in University Place, and received the worst customer service! The woman working at this location was incredibly rude and unhelpful. I had three pre-printed UPS labels for packages I needed to return from an online purchase, and each label had a separate tracking number. The woman told me that she would NOT process the shipments using three labels and told me that I needed to call the company and get just one label with one tracking number. When I questioned this, she raised her voice and beginning slamming her hands down on the package. I asked if there was someone else I could speak to, and she claimed no one else was there and that she was the owner! I will NEVER again bring my business to the store in University Place. I left and promptly called another UPS store in Lakewood. I asked if they would be able to process my shipments and was told yes, absolutely. When I arrived at the Lakewood store, the two individuals working there friendly and helpful, even helping me carry in all three of my large boxes in the pouring rain. They were apologetic and seemed perplexed as to why the other location wouldn't process my order. Yeah, me too! Save yourself a headache and go to the UPS store in Lakewood if you need to ship anything. read more

My family has been through the ringer with this UPS store. The staff have been incredibly unhelpful, and they have recently refused to send my brother a claim payment, saying he has to come back to the state to pick it up, even though he used the shipping services because he was moving out of state. The item we shipped was badly damaged, and the process to resolve the issue has taken a month at this point even though we insured the item. In the various times we've been on the phone with this store, they have hung up on us on multiple occasions. And the broader UPS organization has been a total run around; I think we've spent upwards of 5 hours on the phone trying to get a resolution. Every agent just gives another number to call, and we have had to explain what happened so many times at this point, it's getting ridiculous. read more
