Post-Haste Mail Center Inc.

Their epic concern with how your mail
Is packed is equally as frustrating as the line at the Post Office.

A friend mailed a package to me from here and we never received it. She suspects it was never mailed. It had a tracking number but the post office said it never received it from Post Haste. Post Haste supposedly packed it and it was all local gift items. Post Haste has not been helpful in tracking. She won’t be using them again since she suspects the content was stolen.

Great place to bring your business. I was sending the last of a move to my daughter… I had a couple of boxes full but not taped or labelled, and a couple of bags of stuff that needed a box or two. The very friendly young man at the front desk weighed each box, asked if there were breakables needing bubble wrap, etc.; for each box, let me compare the prices and speeds of the various servers they use (seems their choices were USPS Ground, or FedEx) and choose how i wanted them to go; then found the right new box to jam in the extra bags very economically. Noting the time, he hustled so that they went out with that afternoon’s shipments. In the end, i felt like the major hassle of packaging and mailing this amount of stuff had become a pleasant experience – largely thanks to the eagerly helpful young man, and also to the nature of the business: taking the legwork and frustration out of figuring out the best way to mail bulky items.
The shipment made its way to my daughter’s doorstep in L.A. in exactly two days, as promised; and as i had hoped to get out of there for under a hundred dollars, 98.25 was perfect. That included 5 bucks for the box, and 5 for the labor. Definitely worth ten dollars to save who knows how much time & trouble seeking out the materials and shipping method on my own.
I will be back next time i have something big to mail!

I LOVE Post Haste. They make shipping so easy.
They are pleasant and efficient — SO much better than the Post Office!

Fantastic customer service. Very friendly super nice people. Open on Saturday for all your post office needs as well as notary. I live I McKinleyville where there is a place that has the same shipping services and supplies, however I will drive to Arcata to go here because they are so much better!

It is a hippy chill shipping company with posters hanging and jams playing. It has slightly better hours that the usps and the people are kind and helpful.

Tried to charge me for express mail services for something I insisted on sending as a regular first class package, which would usually cost me about $ 8 to send at the regular post office. Left and went to the actual post office. Waste of my time.

I went in to Post– Haste today for the first time, to mail my son some magazines, while he is away at boot camp. I knew they would be a little more than the post office, because they have to make money. They were kind of busy, but I was kindly greeted immediately by a gentleman with a beard and helped right away. They made sure that I got the best deal and I was in and out in 5 minutes. Both gentleman that helped me were very nice. What great customer service! I know now were I will be going here during the holiday season.

I’ve always had good, friendly service from this place. It’s got just about everything you could need from a postal place: copying, faxing, shipping, packing, etc. They even have a notary. Doesn’t seem any more expensive than their competition is, mailing stuff internationally is going to be spendy. You can’t just slap a stamp on it and expect it to get to Abu Dhabi without someone wanting a little extra $$ to speed it on its way.

What I really do not like about this place is the fact that they over charge and do not make up for it with customer service. The lady that owns the place is always rude, whether it be in person or over the telephone, and I have noticed that since day 1. The other workers are nice, but the younger girl seems like she is the only worker who actually wants to help you get in and get out with a good deal.
The post boxes are overpriced in comparison to the post offices boxes, but since they are independent this is to be expected. If you rent a post box from them they do sign for packages, which is about the only good thing about this place. Bottom line, if you are coming here because of the «line» at the Arcata post office don’t do it. I have been here multiple times and the post office has always had cheaper prices and better customer service.

The employees here are attentive and professional. The Arcata post office can often have a slow moving line out the door. Post Haste provides a time saving alternative. It will cost more but its often worth it. They do a great job custom packing your items for shipment. Always good music playing too!

I love getting the extra service at Post Haste, and Im willing to pay for the benefit of saving time and CHOICE.
I had to send a package to my daughter in Spain. The few ounces over some weight could mean $ 100 more to mail. They let me open the box, weighed it as I pulled out the lower priority items, then filled it with packing material. Then I could see on a screen what the cost of shipping would be with different carriers, Fed Ex, UPS, USPS and depending on how fast it needed to get there. It was like a team effort to get the hometown love accross the sea without bankrupting me.
Thanks Kristina and the whole Post Haste team. She loved her package.
