    I stopped by this UPS Store today to drop off a simple retail return. The item was already packaged — all I needed was one printed return label. They quoted me upwards of four dollars to print a single sheet of paper… absolutely wild. The staff then proceeded to break it down for me like I was in kindergarten, explaining their “set-up fee” on top of the printing cost. They also planned to charge me for the tiny strip of tape needed to seal the poly mailer. Meanwhile, there were about 5–6 employees in this tiny store, and every single one dealing with retail returns. I honestly hope there’s a lot of business. Lucky for me, this retailer provides options and I can just ship to the return from UPS to FedEx where they don’t change to print their own labels.

    TG is superb, customer service skills are A1, he researched and corrected an issue that happened at the store.. he was professional, apologetic and most importantly got a solution! Thanks TG!

    I gave two stars because the service itself was acceptable. However, I stopped going to this UPS store due to repeated attempts to upsell boxes—even when the one I brought was perfectly suitable. It’s frustrating, especially when most customers just want a quick in-and-out experience. I’ve used several UPS locations and never had issues with packaging, regardless of appearance. At this location, they only provide a receipt if you specifically ask for it, and they don’t change the box in front of you. Now that I think about it, the two young men I interacted with simply tossed my box in the back. By contrast, my former UPS store in downtown Silver Spring, MD, had a very professional, courteous, and efficient staff member—an Indian gentleman who consistently handled packages with care. If a box needed replacing, he would do so in front of you, provide a receipt without prompting, and thank you for your business.
