The UPS Store

This store charges outrageous prices. I had a USPS flat rate box that usually ships 1 – 3 days for $ 18.95 at the post office. I understand there’s a convenience fee for USPS services at this UPS center. HOWEVER, I was told that it would cost me $ 36 to ship USPS, and only $ 18 via UPS. So I agreed, but they couldn’t use my box. So I agreed to buy another box. I DID NOT EXPECT MY TOTAL TO BE $ 33 TO SEND MY PACKAGE WHEN I COULD’VE PAID SO MUCH LESS TO JUST GO TO THE POST OFFICE. It also would have arrived faster via USPS. Worst off, they told me how much it would cost AFTER they packed my box in another one of their boxes. YES, the shipping fee was $ 18. The box and all of the add ons they added? $ 12 extra.
Trust me, if you want to send a large package, just put the stuff in a USPS flat rate box. Price stays the same regardless of weight, unless you’re shipping 70 pounds or something. You KNOW what you’re going to pay, it ships fast, AND your box is free.
This isn’t even the first time I had a problem with them. One of my friends sent me his old smartphone since mine broke. They lost the package, had a two week investigation, and I heard nothing about it ever since. UPS customer service is awful. The worst of the worst.
TL;DR — Prices are way more expensive than they should be for the sake of convenience. Only two people working and long lines. Some of the workers are rude. AVOID. Never going back there again.

Her name is LaTeisha. When I told her I used 3 forms instead of 1 for sending 3 packages she rolled her eyes and sighed ‘ummm is there any forms left?’
Are the eye rolls necessary? Again, why do you continue to work with the public if you can’t stand customer services? I hate that I have to come to this location!!!

Centrally located for students. This location is convenient for anyone in the nearby area looking to ship a package. Two young women staff the hub and have their work cut out for them. This place can get crowded fast! The service is still top notch. Beats going to the nearest post office on 8^th and Thompson, which is terrible!!!

Although lines are common, as this branch is only staffed by a maximum of two people, I am fan of this UPS store in Temple’s Student Center. Their services can be expensive (i.e. premium prices for postage stamps; $ 2 first page and $ 1 additional page fee for faxes) but their central location on Temple’s campus has brought me back many times.

This UPS store is located in the Student Center at Temple University’s main campus. They offer not only UPS services, but also USPS services. When you want to ship a package, they’ll tell you the rates that UPS offers, and the rates that USPS offers. They have tracking, return receipts, etc… basically everything that you’d expect from a stand-​alone shipping center.
The hours of operation are posted on Temple’s website, but they’re wrong. It says they open at 8:30, but they really open at 9:30. The lines can sometimes be long considering it’s the only mailing center on campus, but you always get what you need.
I recommend putting your envelopes in a blue mailbox on the street because I find when I drop my letters off here it takes a while for them to get sent out. Packages are a different story and tend to get shipped out much quicker.
