The UPS Store

The UPS Store

(23 reviews)

This UPS store does it again!! When I moved about a mile down the road I started coming here…read moresometimes once or twice a week. This became my "home office" Since settling in my new home I now have a printer /computer /scanner etc. So my need to visit are less.... until Christmas! Lots of gifts to ship and return. Made the mistake of buying the biggest dollhouse I could find a Target for my granddaughter. Could barely fit up the stairs to her bedroom so decided to return it. After Christmas I took it back to Target (where I bought it and a couple Target employees put it into the back of my SUV) But for the return, I struggled to get it in and out of my SUV and finally into the Target store where they promptly told me I was "outside the return window" and nothing they could do - even when I asked to speak to a manager. The Target app on my phone showed that I started the return process. After the New Year, everyone in my house got Covid so I was recuperating and quarantining) so it was late January when I actually tried to return this. Target manager told me all I could do was try to take it to UPS...Thanks a lot Target. Struggled to get it back in my SUV, (barely fit in a cart) drove to my UPS store in Newton Plaza backed the SUV right up to the front door and asked my team of UPS guys if they could show me how to print the return label (they did, apparently pop-up blockers on your phone will not allow a UPS label to print ) but they figured it out for me because I'm somewhat technically challenged. They said if I could print a label, I could return it! I said Great, I'll go get it (told him it was a huge doll house and my Target saga... ) and the UPS gentleman helping me with the return proceeded to follow me to the car, helped me get it out and into the store (it was about 12° outside) I didn't ask him for help, didn't think that was appropriate. When I tried to help him he said I got it, I held the door open for him and he said you're all set we'll take care of it for you, hit it in my receipt and I was off. Wished I just started out of UPS - this place is the best, everyone I meet is always helpful, professional, & efficient just what you need in a home office. If you're still reading this, as a side note, it was last Christmas season at this same UPS that one of the workers would belt out Beatles tunes while he was working & he had a great voice. I love this place.

I really only come here to return Amazon items - and for that it has been easy and positive. Or I…read morehave purchase postage online and am dropping off my box. So then it's really just handing off my items to the employee and getting a receipt. I do like that it's close by as a shipping option when needed.

I paid $100 to have a package shipped overnight to a lawyers office in Florida. It did not get…read morethere overnight but 5 days later!!!! Then I go to get my money back and was told I did not have the option for the office to sign for the package so needless to say I did not get anything back! I did not know that when I shipped it, I was not told that was a thing! Very sad, and out of $100!

Reviewing mostly for the historical aspects, not the Post Office service itself. (The PO does have…read morean oldschool homey feel about it, to be sure.) The building is a fine brick 1852 church on the National Register of Historic Landmarks, which went through several other uses before ending up as the US PO for Newtonville. Unfortunately the inside's been gutted and refitted to the Post Office's needs - in mid-20th century stasis - so you can't see much on the inside. It's a very narrow counter dominated by old-school brass combination PO boxes (cool enough) but quite cramped. So what there is to see of the architecture, you can see from outside. We went to see the Chester Arthur "Exhibit" (see photos) which is basically a collection of clippings about forty or fifty years old. It's an oddity, here based on the tenuous connection to Arthur's father, who by local legend lived nearby for a number of years. The locals swear it was Arthur's "childhood" home, but given he was 26 years old when his father first took up residence and practicing law in Kansas and New York City during those years, it's a bit of a stretch. Arthur's father, a minister, may have preached at the church briefly. This local legend was ballooned to include renaming a nearby street "Arthur Street" and was probably enhanced by the fact Arthur's buried in the nearby Albany Rural Cemetery, but the actual historical significance for one of our most obscure Presidents is somewhere between low and non-existent. That said: there's just something really touching about the fact this little display has sat here unchanged for half a century. If you go in to buy stamps, admire it, but I wouldn't plan your vacation trip around it.
