“I have used the Postal Annex on a number of occasions, and each time they have been courteous, professional, and helpful. Yesterday I was running late to complete a notarization, and they went out of their way to help me. I definitely recommend their services!”

“I have been getting my mail from this location now for over 10+ years, have seen seen 3 different managements with the current management being the 4th. I find that they have updated quite a few things all for the better, so I find that some of these one star reviews pretty funny based on they are complaining about.
Jinesh and Disha who run this location are great. They get to know their mailbox customers and I have witnessed the great customer service provided for the individuals that come in for some type of service (faxing, shipping, live scan, or notary.) There is always two sides to every negative feedback that is posted and I have posted my share of negative feedback on businesses and this one is far from being a bad business.”

He is always willing to answer any questions I have and help me out since I am not very tech savvy. He is my go to guy for pretty much anything I need to do in there for both personal and business stuff!”
