“Always fast and efficient. Just don't be that jerk who shows up 5 min before closing with an armful of packages. No lines in the middle of the day. They're occasionally understaffed but that's not their fault. USPS is such a valuable service!”

“Wonderful service! There is also a self-serve option to scan in your own packages so you can get in and out very quickly. They accept UPS, FedEx, and USPS so it's a great one-stop shop!”

“I shouldn't be so cheap and unappreciative I got the coolest carnival celebration stamps with fireworks on them. I never have to wait long at this post office and it's right next to the Ashy BART station! The exterior is kind of unusual which is probably why it's getting 3 stars on average. It's a good post office. Don't listen to the other reviews.

Even the downtown Oakland Post Office has run out of money order forms, on occasion. They're not a bank cheapskate, they shouldn't be required to handle large sums. I've seen some people get money orders for thousands at some Post Offices. It's old school *not* dingy.”

“It's always been quick in a out but I only send out prepaid pre printed mailing labeled small packages they scan it tape the bag or box shut for me and put the label on hand me a receipt and instantly my package is being tracked. In and out even when they're is a huge line im surprised how fast they get the line down and I'm heading for the door.”

“Review about fingerprinting here. Will recommend anyone in the Bay Area to go here!!!

The person who took care of me was very nice and really helpful. He knows his job, they are doing the fingerprinting in a separate room, they have a small fan to help with sweaty fingers and the person helped me position my fingers on the machine. It worked perfectly!

I went to this place after a very bad experience with the one in San Francisco where I was basically told that my fingerprints were not good enough. But guess what when the person in charge knows their job, it’s working!”

“I was worried about coming here from reading the reviews, but had a fine experience, the building itself is run-down, but the people at the counter were nice and the lines weren't long (for me, anyway).”

“I visited today to set up a PO Box and despite the extremely busy line, Ireri made the entire process smooth and pleasant. She was patient, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout.

I also picked up some adorable Goodnight Moon stickers and stamps during my visit - such charming designs!

What impressed me most was Ireri’s genuine care and attention to detail while helping me navigate the PO Box application process. This kind of outstanding service doesn’t happen by accident - it’s clear the management team here has created an environment where we can see this level of excellence.

If you need to visit this post office, I hope you get Ireri. She made what could have been a stressful errand into a positive experience. Much more efficient than trying to do it online!

Thank you!”

“Sure, had to wait in line a bit. But it was a delight because I got to see the kindest employee ever show true humanity, acknowledgement, and support to everyone she assisted. Best part of my day :)”

“I love this post office. The sistah that works in the far corner is so incredibly helpful and proficient at her job. She is so on it, that I usually leave feeling better than I walked in because she makes the experience so pleasant and clear. If it weren't for parking I would use this post office exclusively. I will say that the USPS should update the equipment. Some of the machines seem like they haven't been updated since before Regan was president.”

“Awesome; there was only one person ahead of me in line. I didn't even wait five minutes, and I just handed my mail to the clerk; she was so nice. Not waiting in line for a long period of time was fantastic because I was in a rush to get back home. There was a community wide garage sale in the compound where I live, and I wanted to touch base with some of my neighbors. I purchased some DVDs from the neighbor who lives across from me. I simply like to have the disk just in case some of the movies aren't shown through AT&T ever again.”

“Vickie is an angel. Even though the line was so long that she was still serving people well after the doors officially closed (we were the very last to be served at 3:30pm), she took the time to advise us on how to mail our packages for the least amount of money, saving us a whole lot. Kind and patient even when she was working past closing time on a weekend.”

“Generally a very good post office that takes care of lines quickly (mostly because we gays are always on the go and know what we want) and there is a lot of self-service supplies available as opposed to some city post offices where almost everything is locked up or depleted.

My only complaint is the lack of empathy for older clientele who struggle with computers. My client wanted to renew his PO Box and pay for another 6 months and the lady at the counter just kept repeating "ITS PAID TIL SEPTEMBER! GO TO THE WEBSITE!" Well, that's only 2 months away and the rate is $108/6 mo. Why can't we pay for his extension now? And I said probably three times that he gets frustrated using their website. He has renewed this way dozens of times including a few months ago. She could've made our lives a lot easier by processing a basic renewal.”

“I had an amazing experience at the post office thanks to Erica.
She was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful truly going above and beyond.
I’ve never received such excellent service before. Erica made everything easy and pleasant, and her positive attitude really stood out.
She’s a true example of outstanding customer service.
Thank you, Erica!
God bless you!”

“Great location! Chronically understaffed.
The remaining staff, however, is super helpful and efficient.
The location is really good in the midst of the financial district. I just wish they'd put more people there.”

“Unlike what the other bot reviews say, this is a decent post office with professional staff. You treat them like human beings and they do the same for you, end of story.”

“ANDRA and CANDACE or as I call them the Dynamic Duo are absolutely phenomenal. I only saw them both working so was so so so impressed how quickly yet professionally they took care of everyone in the line. I sure hope there are more in the team but I have almost always only seen them both. Even busy, ANDRA and CANDACE would have a smile and would be extremely helpful. I have a PO BOX at this location for a year and it is because of team members like them, I will definitely extend for another week. Such wonderful employees should be appreciated and recommended.
Thank you Andra and Candace. You are pillar of customer service.”

“The staff is what makes this place really great. The person at the counter helped me pick the right type of shipping and the best size of box to minimize cost. They're incredibly helpful and professional, even if the line is long.

Note: USPS charges you for tape! If you don't want to pay, then either bring tape or tape your packages at home. Even if you have to buy tape, it's still often cheaper than UPS or FedEx.”

“It’s a great-looking post office, clearly meant for sending and receiving packages to and from Italy exclusively. In that spirit, it serves as a kind of Italian embassy — offering goodwill through the occasional spaghetti and meatball handout. It’s strewn with Godfather posters and, of course, accepts cannoli as payment.

When Silvio passed away, they flew the Italian flag at half-staff.”

“I feel lucky to have a post office that’s close by. It’s never too busy and the staff are pretty nice. Sure there could be one grumpy worker every once in awhile but who doesn’t have a bad day. I go often to mail boxes and most of the time it’s a solid experience. I always feel confident my mail and boxes are delivered on time which isn’t the case at some postal offices.”

“While this post office is somewhat hard to find (next to Alley &Vine) once I was able to do so I was greeted by a very friendly US post office person. Miranda was super knowledgeable, friendly, and made my eBay return a breeze. I highly recommend this location.”

“the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful in resolving my case of a lost parcel (not their fault). They took the time to do some internal research and thanks to their referral, I was eventually able to recover the lost document.”

“Warning you will need to go through security on the south side (if you come from the north, they’ll make you walk around outside). It’s located in the basement. Another warning is that there is no signal (or Wi-Fi) bc it’s in the basement, so if you need a QR code, take a screenshot of it beforehand.Celipe (I may have gotten the name kind of wrong, but he’s an older gentleman), was very friendly and helpful. There was no wait either! I was in and out in minutes!”

“Great location with great hours never busy and staff always friendly and welcoming. They will help you with anything and they are opened on Saturday until 2:30pm with a huge lobby plenty of shipping supples and counters to wrap or write something.”

“The three ladies there have been nothing but helpful. I’ve had multiple questions answered by them and they’ve been pretty patient. Downsides is the lunch break which I’m assuming is a mandated thing and there’s no drop box for outside of operation hours(unless I missed it) which is why the 4. Maybe I’ve gotten lucky with interactions but they’ve all seem very nice and professional from all my experience.

Edit: and on my first time coming in the lady did mention that they had lunch breaks which I was very appreciative of. I would not have known otherwise and that saved me future time/frustration. So I’d probably even do 4.5 if I could just for that extra step”

“Ramon rocks and is the glue that holds this post office together. Not sure what we'll all do when he retires. But, I wish him the best of luck when he does and thank him for all of his helpful service over the years.”
