Mail Vault

The closing of Mail Vault came as a shock to me. Unlike TK W and Heidi, the first thing I thought was that something had happened to Mike, because I knew he would never have walked away from the place he’d worked so hard to make successful. Mike spent months and months remodeling that store, almost completely by himself, doing all the construction, putting in the new mail boxes, painting, laying the wooden floor, and setting up that gate. And doing it all after hours. Talk about blood, sweat and tears! Many of us watched in amazement as he was able to segregate the mailboxes from the rest of the store so he could put up a gate for customers, which, for the first time in the 20 years that place has been there, allowed customers to pick up their mail whenever they wanted to.
Mike transformed the Mail Vault, and the only thing that would have made him close the doors and walk away from all his hard work was death or being locked out by the landlord. Seriously, you think he worked that hard, brought in so much more business, and then just walked away? Like Mark E, while picking my mail up at the post office, I asked them if they knew what happened to the Mail Vault. They said that Mike had nothing to do with it, but the landlord forced him out with just a couple of days’ notice because Safeway wanted the space to expand. I do know the Safeway at Hayden & Chaparral has already started expanding into spaces on the west of that store. The Mail Vault now has a sign they put up that someone will be there from 9 to 6 each weekday until August 31^st, in order for people to pick up any mail that was trapped inside.

Let me start by saying the previous owner of this place was a waste of space. I had some important license information held for 5 days before mailing and then returned to sender because it was weighed incorrectly.
Michael really improved upon the place and did a great job. But unfortunately it was closed recently. Apparently from what we heard at the post office the Safeway decided to expand and gave Mike 24 hours to vacate, they then changed the locks. So I plan on finding a new P.O. box and never shopping at Safeway ever again. Either the Safeway or the Landlord are breaching a contract here, and I really don’t care who did it. It’s shady and neither of them deserve my business. F$&@ their faces!

This business has closed. Michael Bidak walked away & new buyers came in. Unfortunately the management company would not work with them & locked the doors. Problem is… they’re committing mail fraud by not allowing box holders to get their mail.
We have to go to the management company & USPS to be heard. Please look into this, if enough of us do it we should get this and our mail rectified.

The owner spits on your car if you take one of the parking spaces in front of his store and you don’t use his services. The spaces don’t belong to him. They simply state 15 minute parking. In and out of Safeway, next door, well under 15 and he pulls this loser $hit. What a LOSER! Lost my busine$$!

I’ve lived in Scottsdale for well over 15 years the mail vault has gone thru its fair share of owners. The newest owner, Michael, has made the store make a complete 180. I use to drive out of my way to send a package because the store was less than pleasant. Michael is one of the most genuine guys I’ve ever met and makes doing business with him so pleasant. The mail vault has definitely improved leaps and bounds in my eyes. The store has also been remodeled, it looks CLEAN which is saying a lot if you saw it prior
