Popcorn Packers Postal & Shipping Center Lambertville

Bought a broken CRT tv off eBay, seller dropped it off on the 24th, I contacted via email and tried to call with no response, they got back the next day, but a quote wasn’t delivered until the 29th - only after I said I was thinking about requesting a refund on the TV.
They quoted me $638.65 to ship a ~40/50lb TV. I immediately checked their reviews because that was an outlandish price, then I called fedex and they quoted me $424.04.

I told the seller I was keen on using fedex because I didn’t trust these people, and then a woman calls me from the store probing into why I was going to fedex. I said they’re charging ~$450 ish and she didn’t have much to say after that.

I’m guessing she then contacted the seller and told him to hold the phone, because he informed me she was willing to knock a whole $25 off her scam and he was going to refund me $75 just so I could use this shady establishment because they didn’t want “any damage to occur” to an ALREADY BROKEN television. (I bought it as a personal project, I’m very excited to fix it)
So I’m getting the feeling they’re in cahoots, which only makes my decision to go with fedex even firmer. (More firm? English is hard.)

It finally got brought to fedex, it was packed wonderfully, and it arrived at my place in fantastic condition, still broken unfortunately.

All in all, weird place - shady transaction and shady owner 0/10

I have always had good experiences at this store when I go here to ship things. They are prompt and professional. One of the huge benefits to going here is that you can explore several options and providers for sending something. They can help you decide whether USPS, FedEx, UPS, or DHL is the best option for what you're shipping and where it's going. The other obvious benefit is that you don't have to go into official USPS offices which, if you've ever been to the ones in Lambertville or Ringoes, you'd know is best avoided due to them typically being understaffed.

I walked in with a Flat Rate Priority box, which costs $15.50 to ship. and the guy looked me right in the eye and tried to charge over $20. 20 years ago, I would have had the place shut down in an hour. It's a Federal crime to try to profit off of a U.S. postal service flat rate package.

Helped me carry a heavy box containing furniture and packed it. Transaction was fast and easy. Very convenient!

This in absolutely the worst packing job I have ever seen! They should be restricted from using the name packers. WARNING NEVER USE THIS BUSINESS!!!!. No regard was given to the items shipped, thrown in a box and shipped. No bubble wrapping, no cardboard, nothing. The worst company ever!!!!!!!
