Pak N Ship

I should’ve read the review on Unilocal before I decided to go here to ship a laptop. It’s only a block from my house, so convenience was a factor. The place is a dingy excuse for a shipping center. The woman working the counter attempted to be helpful, but by the end of the transaction I felt like I was doing her job for her. She seemed somewhat confused by the whole shipping things process. I brought a laptop in in the box and just needed it to be slipped into a larger FedEx box — they charged me $ 10 for ‘packing’ fees not including the price of the box. What a Joke. She said she’d call me later with my tracking number, what?! I left pissed off and annoyed and a $ 70.00 charge including insurance. Avoid this place, I will in the future. Other options in the area are Postal Annex on Plaza Way and the UPS store down Isaacs.

You know that thing they say about postal workers «going postal?» I fear any time I enter this poor excuse for a shipping center that it may happen if I ask the lady behind the counter the wrong question.
This is hands down one of the absolute WORST businesses in the area. On a recent visit (which will be my last), the surly, angry and slow woman in charge yelled at me for asking to ship wine – I was not aware of changes in shipping laws in WA state. As I walked out the door, she yelled at me, «You’re welcome,» because apparently I needed to thank her for doing jack-​shit for me.
She has the most awful attitude I have ever seen by any worker at any business ever. She rolls her eyes when asked to do her job, she acts offended if you want to know various prices for shipping overnight, ground, etc. and could care less about making sure your package gets shipped in one piece.
That, coupled with the fact that the place is a dump – a «rare coin» area sells worthless pre-​EU (like mid-​90s) European coins for the bargain price of $.25 each, there are a number of jewelry stands holding fugly, tacky and cheap pieces, hideous/​tasteless tchotsckes seemingly scattered about for sale at random areas of the store, and finally the card selection is thin and pitiful.
If I could give this place zero stars, I would. This place sucks and I would recommend you make the little drive down to 9^th, and hit up the POSTAL ANNEX instead. Seriously.
