Reviews of The UPS Store Ballston (Notary Public)

Friendly and helpful staff! Went in looking to send a backpack filled with camping gear as a donation to Gear Forward and they made sure it was packed and shipped in the right sized box.

I just had the most awesome experience at this store! Very helpful young man who assisted me in packing my textbook and shipping it out. I definitely recommend coming to this location for your shipping needs!

Do you have a return for a company with a verified UPS account code? Well, go somewhere else to send the package, they can’t do it here.

I was in a tearing hurry and they took care of my shipping in RECORD time.

I have used this store now for just over 10 years. For the most part, it has been a pretty good experience. Other than the fact that they are not a 24 access store, I cannot think of much to complain about. Occasionally, my stuff will end up at the National Science Foundation when there is a new UPS, Fedex, or USPS worker. I have received every package that has been delivered over all those year. It is of note that there is a new owner now. He is redoing all the paperwork now. I don't have a problem with him complying with current law. So i don't have a problem with it. When I first signed up, there was only a requirement for a single form of ID. Now 2 forms of ID are required. I guess the only thing that really bothers me is the cost of the box. They are not cheap by any means. To be clear, I have not really used any services other than the PO Box itself so I cannot speak to those.

Great location and hours

It is a wonderful experience with this store. My mother in law got scam and she sent a large amount of cash to a scammer in Florida. The owner/manager (Mr. Jay Choi) of this store woke up early the next morning call UPS to intercept the package (it was already there in Florida ready for the scammer to pick up). The UPS in Florida intercepted the cash package and returned to this store. My mother in law came in to get her package. Thank you very much for your help.

So VERY glad I ended up here at Mr. Choi's store this week. I had a rush print request and had no time to lose. This Store had none of the common "network" issues of the big office retailers, and came through for me when I needed it Most - all with a pleasant attitude! Thanks for saving my company's reputation and my sanity. - Northern Virginia Loan Signing

Went in today to return a package to a client. Had the clients account number since they were covering shipping costs. Have done this many times before at a different location but just happened to be close by to this location so I figured I would stop in and save myself some time. Not only were they unable to help me, they explained to me that this was not possible which I know is not true, but they were extremely rude with their explanation. I had multiple boxes I was trying to send and had to make multiple trips back to the car. He offered to help but I declined, I just wanted to leave and go to my normal location. As I was carrying some of the boxes out to my car, he chose to ignore my declination and literally threw the rest of my boxes out the door. I will never step foot in this location again and am appalled that UPS would employ such low class individuals

I tried to ship a package from the UPS Ballston location. The employee demanded to know what was being shipped in the package. When I refused, he replied that asking customers to provide this information was "common practice." I disagreed - as did a nearby competitor, who were happy to ship my package without subjecting me to any invasive questioning. I will not return to this location and suggest that others find nearby alternatives as well.

Just tried the store again after swearing I wouldn't. Should have gone with that impression. Last time I explicitly requested a package be sent by UPS. Instead, it was sent by FedEx, delivered to the wrong address, and after arguing with FedEx that it hadn't been delivered (the person who delivered it claimed there was no porch, while the address to which it was sent has a very large enclosed front porch), the only saving grace was that whoever received it took it to the USPS. The mailman kindly delivered it to the correct address without any additional charge. Have just sent baby gifts to my cousin for a shower. Even after asking if they could read the email address in order to send the tracking number and having it confirmed, they sent the information to the wrong address. When I asked if they could resend it, they said no, that would void the entire transaction and the package had already been picked up. I received the tracking number by phone and UPS has no record of it. I am assuming that my gifts are completely gone. I can't recommend using the services of this store. I know that I never will again.

Great customer service. We use them all the time for complex international shipments and they have been great.

Don H

Simple visit to mail some papers. The lady that served me was professional and courteous.

Danielle Robinson

Came in with an amazon drop off & was greeted by very friendly employees. Spoke to Manny in regards to some printing that I needed done & he was able to answer all of my questions. Thank you UPS STORE BALLSTON. I highly recommend this store to anyone that is looking for a friendly atmosphere!

Christopher Norris

New ownership and fantastic service!

Jen Jump

I thought the two gentlemen working in this brisk Sunday morning were polite, helpful, and efficient. Great place!

They charged me twice and they didn't send the tracking number. Staff seemed careless and they only care about money. Also they charged 60 dollars for sending one piece of paper out of the united state.

Barbara Wester

excellent and efficient service. had to mail books and some bulky items midway through trip and this was closest mailing place to hotel. the guy at the counter was fast and took care of boxing and mailing in few minutes. had e- confirmation minutes from leaving store.

H Kim

First gave a 1 star for bad customer service, but was contacted by the owner and he is now aware of the situation. Upgrading the rating, due to the fast response and guarantee of better service in the future.

I have to say that I am shocked to read the other reviews. This was my first time using this store, so perhaps the players have changed. When I called to ask a number of questions, Rick, the store manager, couldnt have been more help helpful or patient (and I was using a prepaid label). Then, when i got to the store, they (Rick and David) could tell that I was rushing and a bit flustered so they really helped me to get my package together so that i wouldnt miss the last pick up. They were very helpful and friendly and we had a nice chat. Any time i am in the area, i will be sure to use that store when the need arises.

They lost my Amazon return within the store and refused to help. Gave me a 1-800 number to call. Called the 1-800 number and they said to go back to the store - there was nothing UPS could do until the package left the store. Went back to the Ballston store and they refused to help any further, that Amazon is responsible (???). Will never go back again.

Gina Allison

Good company good nice people.

Maddie Wilcox

This store has amazing staff. I’m come all the time to see the wonderful staff at this location. Manny and Jennifer always make my family and I very special. I will always make this ups location my go to. Thanks so much manny and Jennifer for everything you do.

Lee Ling

Oh my, I've never experienced such a bad cold customer service like I've been through with the guy here. I came here three times, everytime I came I met the same guy. He is tall, above 6 feet 2 tall, calcasian. Everytime I came in the store, he is cold, I said hi to him but he never said hi back to me. When he said the price of the overnight mail costs about $80, I've took my mail back because it is just a small letter costs me $80, it doesn't make sense to me. I took it back and said let's me think about it. He gave me an attitude. He always had attitude. I don't think he is a nice person at all. He doesn't deserve a job at the front door that greeting people. I'm scared everytime I walked in the office because of him. I have no clue why he was hired there at the first place and nobody said anything to him to change the attitude.

Kae Irv

Terrible customer service. Avoid at all costs.

Ngumba

The "lady" at the counter started out as being nice but charged me for a package that was wrongly labelled, THANKS TO HER! She DISTINCTLY told me how it "ought" to be labelled but then said it was done wrong and insisted that the way i labelled it couldn't POSSIBLY have come from her! Oh no, she does not make any mistakes (and 2 freiking seconds ago she said the EXACT opposite). Here's the worst part: I was charged for the wrongly labelled package! I did think about giving her my 2 cents but decided not to. You don't do that to your customers, not unless you really don't want the business. I don't care if i have to drive to a USPS store or another UPS store further off, i'll do it. This store sucks!

Milagros Martinez

Today , Manny Adams, the assistant Manager of UPS at 4201 Wilson Boulevard gave me all soultions with kind attention and patinet to send my document overseas. Thank you !!!! Excellent

Long Nguyen

As it has happened like some other comments customer service is the worst here. I needed it to drop off this prepaid shipping package. The dude asked me for 1 dollar to tape a small box. Even though it's not big but come on a dollar just to tape a small box? What kind of customer service is that?

Brittney Stucke

I had an awesome experience working with manny and sharna they were very helpful with my needs I’m really behind on this new amazon program and they answered all my questions to help me better understand

Dan Sheehan

Great service from the two nice ladies working there yesterday. Updated my destination info for my package after I had to make a correction. Called me back with the new tracking number. Thanks!

N Acosta

DAVE is excellent, he truly makes the UPS Ballston an exceptional experience. Alot of people can do the job, but not everyone has a wonderful personality, patient, and knowledgeable.

Юлия Грибкова

`Very convenient and easy even during the rush time they are available.

Oscar Chen

This is the worst UPS store I even been. Staff is rude and only care about money. Should read reviews before go. They want charge me $5 for using a small chunk of their tape. Go some other UPS please

Nicole Henson

The employees there are all amazing to work with there always so helping

Tom Miller, Jr.

GREAT experience. Thank you KEN for getting my sax shipped off to Iowa for repair. KEN = The Man. I'll be telling my colleagues at work to use the store. Thank you much.

Liz Beck

I came here because my printer was broken and it was one of the closest places to get things done. I needed to print a mailing label off my thumb drive to return something to Amazon. The guy pointed me to their computer and CPU so I could upload it. It didn't open because it didn't have the right software. So, I went to my e-mail to find the same document and was able to print out 2 pages. When I went to pay, I was told I'd spent 15 minutes on the computer and with the two pages it cost $5!! I told him I didn't spend that much time on the computer. If I came anywhere near that amount of time it was because their equipment was old, slow, and not updated with recent software. The other point is, they never told me I was going to be charged to use the equipment or that I was being timed. I normally go to Kinko's where they don't charge for time to plug in USB and find a document. You're only charged for the printed pages. Out of curiosity I inquired about sending the package via UPS to Amazon (KY) and he quoted me over $20 bucks!! I was told by Amazon it would not cost more than $6.83 by USPS. I'm not faulting the guys who work in there for the prices. However, the business practice in this shop stinks and I don't ever plan on using UPS again.

Ansumana Cooper

I was just looking up their hours and was shocked by the number of negative reviews. I work nearby and have used the place every now and again for the last few years. I've had absolutely no issues, not even once, and more than a few times they've gone out of their way to be helpful. Just thought I'd try to help balance out the reviews.

Heather Wrigley

My experience there was amazing I worked with Sharna who had great customer service I will continue to go there for all my shipping needs and the other associate there was also kind and friendly she was helpful as well
