I ship from this location regularly. The employees are always very polite, kind, and helpful. It's clean and stocked to the gills with packing materials and printing options. A very convenient location for the Westside.

Don't take USPS prepaid packages anymore! Don't waste your time. Capitola locations said they do. Give them your business if you're on that side of town. I watched the almar location send customer away left and right because they don't do that or they don't do that. I've used their location for a lot of years, They used to do that.

Everyone is super nice and knowledgeable. They also have patience with you if you are unsure what you need for your service. ^_^

Carlos was so helpful! I lost my receipt and he was able to cross locate a new tracking number for me. Not a simple task I’m sure!

I always use the UPS in Santa Cruz on Mission. I'm right next to it, so it's way more convenient than Fedex or even the post office, a lot of the time. The workers are always super friendly. Granted by this time we having a working relationship. But not kidding, they are professional and get the job done. It's more expensive than mailing sometimes or just printing it out at the library. However, the library was closed until recently and they couldn't figure out how to use their printers. So off to UPS it was. And the reliable hours until later in the evening, unlike the post office. They are doing the West Side a solid. Can just pack and send some cute gift I find at the adjacent stores by 11th Hour and send it to my far-away friends or some treat for my mom. I've never had a problem, always had someone offer to help me, or somehow explain the services to me. Thanks, UPS!

This review involves not only this UPS store, but the UPS corporate office and claims department. NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVERRRRRR, send anything valuable through UPS and definitely don't buy insurance for any item you ship!I shipped my desktop computer on December 8th, and when I received it on December 12th, It was broken. Thankfully, UPS provides insurance for expensive items, so I immediately began the claims process. After a few calls back and forth with the UPS store manager at Almar Dr (Carlos), I was starting to realize how insanely difficult it was going to be to get my money back. Not only is the manager at the Almar Dr. location unwilling to provide consistent helpful support for a ridiculous situation like mine, he consistently informed me that my claim was on his desk and that he was "getting to it". For multiple weeks I was told by the manager that I was going to get a call from UPS corporate to setup a time to review the desktop. I was never called. So instead, I was recommended by the manager to pay the repair cost out of pocket and hold out hope that the UPS corporate would send me a check eventually. I am a 20 year old broke college student with no job (at the moment). Repairing the computer cost me 660$ out of pocket. As you can imagine, It was very important that I resolve this situation so that I could continue living as a broke college student.Later, I found out from Carlos that UPS corporate had apparently called "my number" and scheduled a pick up of my computer. They then proceeded to pick up a package from an unknown location and realizing that this package was in fact not my computer, they threw it away. It's now February 13th and after probably 30 total calls between the UPS Santa Cruz store and UPS corporate office, I still have yet to receive my insurance check to pay for my computer.It seems like every person working at the UPS claims department office is actively lying to cover their own asses and hold out as long as possible to get me to go away. At this point I'm not sure if the people working at the UPS claims department are too stupid to sort this situation out or too greedy to actually give me my check. Here's an example of the stupidity of these people.On the second of February I was finally told that the check was going to be shipped out to the UPS store! I was thrilled that they were finally going to do their job! After checking in again with the cooperate office I found out a little more than a week later that that person lied to me and the check hadn't even been written yet...To summarize, DO NOT USE UPS to ship items that you want to insure. The manager of the store isn't helpful in helping you resolve your case in a timely manner,ANDThe UPS corporate office and claims department is filled with idiots who are apparently able to provide completely misleading information while getting paid to act like they are doing work to resolve claims like mine.

I've dropped a few packages here in the past. Usually just Amazon returns. This time I had a very time sensitive document to ship that was going to cost me $150 in late fees for every day it was not received. The document contained a very important check. I paid for overnight delivery. It did not arrive overnight as promised. Several days went by and I was told different stories depending on who I talked to. The first employee told me that it was because I did it so late in the day as it showed the label wasn't created until 5:30 pm (my transaction occurred at 0930 am). Then I was told by another employee that it was UPS fault who flew it to its destination but didn't offload it and it went there and back twice. Third employee days later could only assume that it was lost. The days and work it cost me to fix this poor customer service and cancel the check etc made it clear I won't be using this location in the future. Bear in mind it was only going from Santa Cruz to Southern California so weather logistics etc would not have any effect on this at all.

Had an issue with an important package & the manager was very helpful in helping me track it down. He even called the warehouse to try and help. Very grateful and will definitely be coming back.

I Sent a cup and a vase to my Sister across the country, they pack it and it arrived safe. Good Job. It was pricey packing and the shipping was like 60 buck
