Not a fan: I was here to drop off packages. Incoming packages are all over the floor and no one cares. The person worked there didn't care about a single thing. I won't be surprised if people lost packages or my packages got lost/ stolen/ undelivered. Won't trust this place at all. Super unprofessional. Avoid at all cost. Hope this place closes soon.

Now that people come into our lobby and steal packages - United Shipping is the answer to the neighborhoods problems with porch pirates. The people who work here are very friendly and helpful . The fee is now $4.50 - well worth it if your package is valuable !

This is not my first mail-box service, but it is my favorite -- I've been getting my mail there for many years. The mail receiving services are very reliable, the staff is great -- very helpful and pleasant (I've never heard a rude word, and they put up uncomplainingly with my sense of humor), and the wood crates they construct to ship large objects are works of art themselves. And the address (200 East 10th) is kinda classy. I happily give 'em 5 stars.

I had a very poor experience here . The person who took my packages was rude and was watching TV the whole time. Also I believe they are more expensive then usps . And they also don't post mark your packages the day they receive them but on the day they take them to the post office themselves .

Rip off artists. Nasty attitude. Avoid this place. Packing way more reasonable & service more courteous elsewhere.
