READ BEFORE YOU RENEW
I have maintained a mailbox at this UPS Store location for 15 years and, until recently, have had a positive experience. We use this mailbox for business purposes and consistently pick up packages promptly after receiving notifications. Over the years, we have not had any issues.
In the past few years, this location transitioned to corporate ownership. Unfortunately, I was not made clearly aware of several policy and pricing changes that appear to have accompanied that transition. When I recently received my renewal notice, I renewed as I always have, without hesitation. It was only after reviewing my receipt at home that I realized the annual fee had increased by over $300.
On February 17, 2026, I visited the store to check my mailbox and discovered I had several packages I was unaware of. When signing for them, I was informed there was a $2 per package charge for items held longer than six days. When I asked about these new charges and other policy changes—including limits on the number of delivery packages allowed per month and holding fees—I was told the changes would go into effect at the beginning of March. This left me confused as to why updated pricing and fees were already being applied prior to that date.
I requested additional details regarding the new business standards; however, employees expressed hesitation in providing specifics out of concern the information might be incorrect. Additionally, when I asked about the timeline for providing notice of non-renewal next year, I was told there is no clear guidance available. At this time, I am not aware of any other changes, but it seems I may discover them as they arise.
While I acknowledge that I could have requested renewal documentation before completing my payment, clearer communication and transparency regarding significant price increases and policy updates would be greatly appreciated—particularly for long-term customers.
I hope management will consider implementing more proactive notification and providing detailed written information about policy and pricing changes moving forward.
