The Mail Center

The rip you off with packing charges if you are using an account number for shipping because in that case I guess they don’t get anything from shipping carrier.
Given an option just go to the fedex just opposite to them for better service.

Great service for mailing a pkg overseas.
The pkg was delivered very quickly via DHL.
Would use them again for anything important!

I love going to the mail center. The owner is always very friendly and knowledgable about boxes and packaging. I definitely trust them to give me the best box and price for what I’m shipping. They even gave me a $ 2 off coupon on my purchase for no reason other than to just make my total lower. Love the local feel. Love the knowledge. Thanks guys!

This place will do custom boxes for odd shaped objects. My mother does amazing cross stitching, sometimes paying upwards of $ 300 to frame her amazing works of art. She went to The Mail Center to have a rather large, rather expensive piece shipped from SLC to Portland. When the framed piece of work showed up at my house the box was crushed in on one side, instantly I knew something was wrong. The picture had only been bubble wrapped once, and the box was not even half full of foam. The big issue was that the box they put it in was a good foot to big. So all the way from SLC to Portland the picture got bumped around. The glass was broken, the frame was cracked. When I called my mother to tell her the picture was broken she was so sick to her stomach. After all, this piece of work had just won first place in the Utah State Fair in the arts category…
Anyway, I just wanted other people to know that they apparently do a crummy job on their packaging.

The name pretty much tells you everything you need to know. A wall of mailboxes flanks one side, and the other side of the store contains all sorts of shipping materials. I believe they’re a drop off point for the major shippers.
The employee who helped me was welcoming and efficient.

In a world of bright colored, big name, fast paced overnight delivery locations, this little store is a haven of simplicity.
It is located in a strip mall and the signage is all-​caps block letters that just say «Mail Center». The inside is a small nook with PO Boxes along the wall, a desk in the middle for preparing packages, a service counter along the back, AND a fingerprinting computer. That was my destination, as I had an appointment for a required work thing.
The two employees were very friendly and quick to acknowledge me. Also, all 3 of the people that came in while I was there were greeted by name and chatted to about past recommendations or events, so they must have very loyal customers. It felt very small town and I really enjoy that.
To go along with the small town feel, it was not the most modern, new, pretty or really even clean environment. But you could tell they really care about what they do and have a fun time doing it.
I didn’t get a chance to check on the shipping rates or pay attention to how that works, but I can attest to a great fingerprinting experience.
By nature, the act of being fingerprinted (having your fingers washed, held, and then manipulated into random positions by a complete stranger) can either be a very awkward, sterile, doctor’s office type experience OR you can make a new friend. This was the latter. All sorts of friendly chatter and stories. I’m not much of a chatterer, but I do enjoy it in others.
The next time I need to ship something, instead of going to the fancy big name place nearby, I think I’ll give these folks a try. I’ll let you know how it goes.

This place is not very professional. I had a post office box here and i’ve had so many problems with them and had the hardest time trying to rectify. I paid for my bill on time and they put 4 late bills in my mailbox and called me even when I gave them proof I’ve paid with the cancelled check twice. The people working here are really rude and have little or no training. I have even tried to work with the owner and none are any help. AVOID going to this place because you won’t get any service.

I have been to the mail center on several occasions to mail packages for ebay and such. the girls that work the counter are rude, and not very helpful– i often wonder if they have ever been trained it looks like they are trying to figure everything out as they go a long, not to mention they have their prices WAY jacked up.
