Mailboxes of Oceanside

This is my go to place to mail stuff and get stamps. The owner Joey is always very helpful. Great local alternative to the post office.

Great customer service. The owner is helpful and knowledgeable. I always ship my trade show materials from here because I know they will be taken care of and the pricing is reasonable.

As a small business owner and mom of college kids who need packages sent, I mail packages often. With Mail Boxes of Oceanside, I ALWAYS have efficient and personalized service. The customer service is top notch and the pricing is totally fair.

Best place to do mailing through. Joey offers several options to ship through and always has good pricing.

Top notch service. Great prices. Great suggestions. Support local small business!!!

Besides the proximity to my place i enjoy walking in and the local neighborhood atmosphere of being known by the proprietor. and topping my outgoings on the counter so he can ship them from my account. Also convenient to have someone who can sign for every delivery we get for ourselves and business. Joey rocks– we will always use a supplemental postal service, makes our life way easier and we have 24 hr access to our box.

Simply the best customer service I have ever experienced in my 45 years.
Do not hesitate to bring your business to these folks.

Mailboxes of Oceanside is a friendly, family run, community business in the heart of downtown Oceanside. They provide services, such as notary, greeting card sales, Federal Express and United Parcel Service as well as USPO stamps and supplies. Joey is very courteous and takes time to make sure my needs are met with the best provider. Thank you Mailboxes of Oceanside for being close, convenient and courteous.

I started using them after the UPS store closed, and wished I’d done so earlier. They are always friendly, and when I have packages they frequently bring them out to me before I have a chance to ask. Never a complaint when I have a bunch of big boxes show up. Convenient location and hours. Shipping supplies and a copy service also available. Highly recommended.

much shorter wait sometimes in the other post office next to it even though I have a post office box next door if I woulda known I woulda got a post office box here lobby s a little bit smaller and no artwork here

This review is long overdue. I have been several times & the service was just SO far above & beyond what I would get anywhere else that I made myself a note to write a review when I had time to.
I found Mailboxes when the post office next door had a long line I didn’t feel like waiting in to check the price of what my package would cost to mail.
When I walked in the door, I was greeted with a friendly smile & acknowledged, even though there were several people in line ahead of me. I love when people say «Hello, I’ll be right with you» when you walk in! It’s like they actually appreciate having your business! Seems to be a thing of the past nowadays, right?!
Several times I have mailed packages & was very happy with the service I received. They packed something up for me once, when I was unsure of getting it right. One time I purchased a box to mail an item and they bubble wrapped, packed it & taped it and did everything for me, CHEAP, for the price of the box! At the post office they make me buy a roll of packing tape & supplies, and if they ever offered to pack it I’d probably hit the floor in shock.
There was one time that is SO far above and beyond exceptional service that I need to highlight this:
I sold a PS3 on ebay. I took the package to Mailboxes of Oceanside. As usual, I asked them to check my packing skills. They are always so accommodating & don’t even hint at my inept skills lol. The time was 12 noon.
Later that day, at 4:50pm, I got an email from the woman that bought the PS3, asking me if it was possible to mail it to a different address, because they had just moved, but ebay hadn’t updated her new address yet. She was hoping to save money shipping, not pay me to ship it to her old address, then pay again to get it to her new one. Did I mention it was 4:50pm?
I called Mailboxes & asked if there was any possible way to make this happen. It was now 4:55pm, my heart fluttering, butterflies in my stomach. I was told «No worries!» in a very calm, chilled out, reassuring way. They just took care of everything over the phone! Also, they didn’t charge me any extra, even though I knew it was going to cost more to go the extra distance, as it was 2 zones further. You just don’t get that kind of customer service anywhere!
I got the best 5 star feedback on ebay from this woman, praising me for saving the day & giving her bored, anxious kids something to do while in transition to their new home. But the real hero was the woman working at Mailboxes of Oceanside that day!
Needless to say, this 5 star review is definitely deserved!

Best mailboxes in Oceanside. Been a loyal customer for about 8 years. The owner is awesome and the staff has great customer service.

Joey and staff are great. They are by far the best third party mailing facility in Oceanside! I have been a loyal customer for over 5 years. I have never had any issues sending packages out of this place. Like others have mentioned, they will box/​pack everything up for you and make shipping a breeze.

Great location, great services, great attitudes behind the desk and best of all great prices.
Did I mention I always have a GREAT experience here!?? No. well that’s just great!
Joey is great and handles all my shipping and mailing needs!
Shipping stuff here is significantly cheaper than the UPS store by my house. I wouldnt dare want to wait it the huge lines at the post office across the street and why even try with Mailboxes of Oceanside just next door!
Thanks again

I have the pleasure of using M.B. of Oceanside daily, and always receive prompt, thorough and friendly attention, even at the holidays, when we all get a bit crazy, they stay calm and efficient. They even carry my boxes to my car and track packages if I need, and in a timely manner. Love the crew, Joey and Elise are the best!

Horrible, horrible, absolutely horrible. I dropped off a package on Sat ²⁄₁₆ at 11AM. Woman told me she would have a confirmation number for me later in the day or I could go to the post office myself and get one??? I gave her my email and told her it was important that I get it the same day. She promised. Never got it. On Monday she is digging through her trash for the confirmation number and then realizes she never mailed it!!! This place should never be allowed to touch anyones mail! She cannot understand why I am a little upset and tells me to «chill??» Seriously???

This is by far the nicest third party mailbox store I have EVER been into. No clutter, no baby clothes, no stuffed animals obstructing your every turn. They keep it simple, easy, cheap, and effective. Compared to Postal Annex, their keys cost $ 2.50 instead of $ 5.00… yes please! And they are way nicer, well they are sincere nice instead of faking it anyways…

What a pleasure it is dealing with this place. Joey and the staff are super friendly, efficient, and all around pleasant to interact with. The services offered are robust and affordable. MofO takes all the stress out of the constant shipping needs of a small business.

This place is awesome! I always dread sending out packages because I hate long lines and filling out tedious forms. Plus I rarely have the right box and all of the packing tape. My daughter left for college so I could no longer avoid sending care packages. After reading another helpful review, I decided to try Mailboxes of Oceanside. So glad I did! I handed the friendly owner my stuff to send, he packaged it all up, gave me a very brief form to fill out, and I was out of there in five minutes! Plus, he is saving the address on file so I won’t have to fill out anything next time. He told me I don’t even need to bring in a box, just the bag of goodies and he’ll do the rest! Perfect! The owner took this business over from his mom and clearly has pride in what he does! He has found himself a new loyal customer!

This place is right by the downtown Oceanside Post Office, which must be an intense competition for their market and such. I needed to mail two packages to Hawaii, and last time i did thing, I felt that I got handled a little poorly at the main Post Office, so I decided to go here instead.
Right off the bat, I was told that I could save six dollars to I placed my already packaged package into this different package ($ 6 instead of $ 12), and he helped me send out my 2^nd package in a cheaper, but practically identical way as well. So instead of a $ 25 shipping, I got away with paying $ 10.40.
It became clear that the owner’s business approach to staying open was to simply provide the cheapest possible shipping, and to have more personal communication with his clientele. I was impressed.
5-​stars for independent businesses!
