"I recently came to La Jolla mailbox and met Anita when needing to ship a package that was going to be expensive to ship and also difficult to package up. I had been putting it off until one day I decided to pop in to see if she could help. She absolutely could and did help me and made the activity so much less painful than what I originally thought it would be. She was happy to quote different shipping options for me and even hold my package when I needed to get more information before proceeding. Thank you so much Anita for your kindness and your help.

"I appreciate living in a neighborhood where we can walk to run some errands and going to Anita for anything related to shipping/ mailing is walking into a friend's business who always greets you warmly and you know you can count on to get the job done on time and well. I had waited for a credit from a return item, and honestly, she jumped in and tackled the problem directly with the customer service agent from the store to make certain I got credited for the item !!!! THANK YOU, Anita for always doing your best and with a smile !!!"

"I work on the same street as this business. I cannot tell you how CONVENIENT it is to take care of my mailing errands here. Anita is super friendly and knowledgeable. My other options for mailing are the PB post office or the one in the Village. It's just nuts driving to the one in the downtown village and trying to find parking. And then the line in PB is outrageous at the times I can go. I prefer to come here where it is not crowded and pay a little more for the service and did I mention "CONVENIENCE"?! Also, I have had to mail some weird things to clients in odd shapes or varying fragility...Anita knows how to package it up for "
