What a blessing it is to have such an amazing and positive place to send and pick up packages from. This small business location owned by Tara who is the ultimate in customer service and positive vibes is not only well run, organized and professional but they treat you like family. Rebecca is also a friendly face who provides stellar service with a smile at this location. If you need any type of parcel or related services you must give Tara and her staff an opportunity to serve your needs. Thanks and blessings for amazing service and always with a smile and welcoming spirit. I highly recommend this UPS store, Tara and her staff. You will not regret it!πŸ‘πŸ™‚

I mail things almost everyday due to my eBay business. I must say this is the most efficient, and the friendliest UPS shipping location I have ever been to. I have come to know Tara, who is one of the most delightful person I know. She takes extraordinary care of you and your needs everyday, I would highly recommend that if you need to ship something, or need a PO Box, or other needs, this is definitely the place I suggest you choose to use. It’s a home away from home because the team is so welcoming. I can hardly wait to go back soon.

Best customer service I experience. Tara is an excellent customer service specialist. With some problem solving between the two of us my packages were en route to their destination. Due to their top-notch service, this UPS store is now my go-to store. Thanks!

Their information says they open at 9am and its Wednesday today. Well, I got there at 9:10 and waited 5 minutes and another person drove up and was waiting also, but nobody showed, so we left. I had my cologard sample to be sent off, so I had to drive to the Laguna hills UPS to drop it off. It would be helpful/considerate to post a sign on the door showing the hours. I took time off work to drive there only to find its not open. When I googled UPS near me its shows the business opens at 9am. It would be nice if they corrected this information too.

Every visit is a 5 star experience ! If your looking for the BEST UPS Store in Orange County, California, look no further. This business is a great asset to the community. This nibble UPS store is well equipped for all shipping, printing and notary needs. I was searching for a convenient location to set up a P.O. Box, upon arrived the manager was very kind, friendly and informative to explain all the options they offered and services they provide. I was very pleased with the high caliber of customer service and attention to detail. All the team members are welcoming each and every visit. They greet you by first name and most importantly dog-friendly ! Needless to say, I signed up for a mail box service with this location. Was very impressed with the updates they send by text message when larger packages are delivered to the store. I highly recommend this UPS store to anyone looking for a top-notch 5 star experience. Thank you

Tara is a business professional in every sense of the word...She’s polite, caring, thoughtful and always is concerned if everyone is okay with the store’s performance...Truly a rare if not lost art in pure customer service...Questions are always welcome and makes sure you’re comfortable every step of the way...Multi-tasking is something not just done by Tara... but is throughly at ease when the store is busy... she never loses her focus on what’s most important...the customer...Seriously... if classes were taught at a university level on how to manage and skillfully balance a work load performance... I would not hesitate to be the first to sign up and take the course..Everyone who has the need to send something through the UPS system... should visit Tara’s UPS store and experience the eloquence of a true professional right before your eyes...its very impressive and a wonderful thing to experience...Last but not least...Tara wants more than anything else ... to continue the same work ethic that is being done every day and to further the store’s image to the community and beyond...Thanks Tara for your serviceJ.C.

The owner, Tara, is absolutely incredible. Her store was the only UPS Store in my immediate area that was open on Sunday, so I decided to venture over to take care of a few things. I needed to return some packages and get my passport photo taken. She was SO kind, friendly, and helpful. Definitely made an impact on my day! Thank you for a great experience! I will be going to this store exclusively from here on out :)

Horrible! Dropped off my Samsung monitor (for warranty repair) to the notary public girl there on Feb 9th 2021. Paid over $40 to have it packed and shipped. Never sent out, the store has been closed for days now. Horrible service. No sign on the door. Shame on you notary public girl!

Best UPS store around. Everyone knows the Owner, Tara, who is almost always present. She and her employees always greet you with a smile, and she remembers you and your business. She makes shipping for my business so much easier and convenient. I highly suggest making this your go-to shipping center. Her enthusiasm and know how have really helped my business.

Tara (the owner) is the best! She always has a smile on her face and is so helpful every time I go in. I usually go in to ship back textbook rentals after my semester ends, but the service and care she gives all her customers has me coming back for all my shipping needs. I shipped a present last month and not only did she remember, but she made sure it got there right on time and asked me how my friend liked it. It’s stuff like that that shows how much she goes above and beyond for her customers. Use the Lake Forest UPS store, you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing customer service, and always with a smile ! Store owner Tara always there, always remembers me even though I only come less than once a month. I had forgotten what it felt like to be an appreciated customer until I started using this UPS store. I am an easy client, but I have seen her gracefully and kindly treat some difficult customers, unheard of these days for the most part. Please use this store, I dont ever want her to leave:)

Tara owns and run this store and does a fantastic job. The other employees are great too. I have used 5-6 other UPS stores over the past 8 years for various projects, and Tara rocks them all. The store can be busy at times, but that’s because it’s good. The location is great too: near Home Depot, the 99 cent store, Bank of America and other businesses. 5 stars!!

I love the service given by Tara. I did not know she is the owner. Until I saw her calling card. The first time I saw her is I am with my Aunt. She assists her, each and every clients very well. Then, the second time was, I am going to ship something, but when my aunt and I tried to open the door, because they are already closed.Tara was still there, and other lights inside were turned off, but then she looked at us and smiled and let us come in. She still accommodate us. She is heaven-sent. She is very dedicated to her work and business. More power to you Tara and to UPS store. I hope all the UPS stores have someone like you. God bless you.

Great personal service. Very professional & expeditious service. Tara is very knowledgeable with documents and Notary services we needed for a trust & banking.

This is a Great UPS store!!! Like all the other reviews say- Tara is very kind and very helpful!!I needed to return some shoes today- I had never returned anything to Amazon before, so I was a little flustered (after being rejected by USPS and the Kohls drop-off) Tara was incredibly patient and helped me get it done. She also gave me some good tips!! Like to save my boxes, so I dont have to buy new ones and also not to bother printing the labels, because she can do it! Thanks Tara!! I will be back to see you for sure :)

This was by far and away the nicest, cleanest and most friendly UPS shop Ive ever been to, and Ive been to entirely too many all over the country. Tara, the woman who sent my stuff out, was incredibly helpful and very beautiful. She even got the exact shipment date right (I waited to write the review until it had been delivered), and everything was surprisingly affordable. Trust this shop, theyll take care of you.

This place is beyond a place to pick up mail. There are so many fantastic services available at the UPS store.Why *this* UPS store? THE STAFF! The staff never fails to amaze me! They are friendly, kind, caring, and really know how to help people. They have saved me money when shipping packages. No matter how busy the store is, the staff remains calm and professional and work at the fastest pace possible to take care of all of their clients. Tara is especially talented at multi-tasking in order to help 2 or more people at one time. She remains friendly and professional while getting the job properly completed for each person.If you are in the neighborhood and need a UPS store, THIS store is the one to choose!

I didnt expect to be greeted and served so warmly at a shipping center--normally its a kind of stale experience thats most impressive the faster I can get out.But the associates at this store are so cheerful and helpful I was surprised at how much a friendly and positive atmosphere could change my expectations. (AND they were still quick at helping me out; theyre the whole package--er... pardon the pun)Anyway, sure its just a UPS Store, but its the only one Ill be going to from now on.

I sent a package next day delivery from this store. It was important for me to have my package arrive on time. When the package never arrived I called the tracking number to the delivery carrier and they said the package was not packaged correctly for them to deliver it. I was never told from the ups representative at this location that the package needed to be packed in a particular manner. I have been trying to get my money refunded for 2 months and Tara the manager at the store will not respond to my calls or messages. I would highly recommend not using this location for your delivery services and other needs if good customer service is what you expect.After repeated phone calls Tara the manger decided to handle the situation and send me a check. I am still a bit upset but at least I got my money back. After 2 months of calls......

Review β„–75

I received a damaged item from Amazon but was out of toner to print the return label. No big deal I thought... I would just email and have UPS print...after all Office Depot charges .14...so how much could it cost. I went to this store, and an older Gentlemen was the only one working. It wasnt busy, but the people who walked in front of me had to notarize a few documents...I guess multi-tasking was out of the question...so I waited 15 min. Finally it was my turn, I emailed the label, had it printed and then affixed the label. Then I asked how much I owe him...and he told me $2.50. say what! ? to send back a pre-paid package! Im sure youll agree its not a lot of money, but nobody...no matter what the cost...likes to feel like their getting ripped off. I told him that I thought it was excessive...he replied trying to validate his fee its $2.50 to receive the email...and 10 cents for the copy...so for the time he put into this, hes charging me $100 per hour. So...I told him to forget about it and to delete my email and take the label back and Ill just go to another UPS store. At that time he offered to just take it with no charge...but my trust was lost...I was thinking this is like worrying about a waiter spitting in your food...there was no way I was going to leave my package here...so I left the store and went to the UPS store on Alton and Jefferey. They were surprised to hear about the $2.50 email fee. I wont be going back to this USP store.

Summary:Tara and this UPS store are by far one of the most essential assets found on the El Toro road. The store is conveniently located next to the 5 highway, and strategically within the borderline distance that qualifies for handling same day/rush deliveries to the UPS Distribution hub in Aliso Viejo! This means that because of their location, they can do what most stores cannot. AND THEY ARE RIGHT OFF THE 5!!!! I cant stress how important this has been on my trips to LA from OC. A quick stop and boom, check it off my to-do list. Id give this place a 10 if I could.Inside:OMG isnt Tara not only a beautiful shipping angel(her husband is a very lucky guy!!!), shes one of the friendliest people Ive met. She truly cares and takes care of every customer and package. I know people get grumpy sometimes and packages get lost, but if you read the other negative reviews here, they dont give her the justice she deserves. 10/10.Shipping and Services:Every-time I come here I get a smile on my face, the atmosphere of the store is just welcoming, not to mention the warmness you feel. This place has a great aura. SHIPPING: Because of their location they offer the fastest shipping speed for a UPS store, since they are on the borderline of the Aliso Viejo store. Youll notice stores in foothill ranch cant handle this. Ive had foothill ranch cause a delay by 1 day-which was really important to a client of mine.Overall:Choose whatever store is convenient for you, closest to you, best for your business or delivery/pickups. BUT, if you really want to feel a difference, and feel like something more, be treated with the respect you deserve, and feel like a community/family member, give this location a try β™₯

Review β„–87

Horrible experience. Not only that the middle age worker seems not wanting to help the customers, he purposely makes thing dreadfully slow and painful. I was returning an amazon packages and and the process that shouldve taken me about 5-10 minutes in another ups store took about 30 minutes because he wanted me to format the mailing label after emailing it to him. I told him to just click the link. This proves that he is definitely incompetent and should not be doing this as a living. And to top it off, he charged me $4 for 2 pieces of label, he called it store printing fee. I dont know if thats legit or not but as long as i have dropped off an amazon package and have them print out the label for me, i was never charged.My take on this particular ups store in el Toro, store number 5276 is not to waste your time. If i wouldve known that itll take me a lot longer time due to the workers rude behavior and incompetence, i wouldve make the extra 10 minutes drive to another ups store.PLEASE AVOID THIS UPS STORE UNLESS YOU LIKE RUDE WORKER, INCOMPETENCE WORKER, LONG, PAINFUL AND ARDUOUS WAIT FOR JUST A SIMPLE TASK AND BEING OVERCHARGED FOR THINGS THAT DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE
