“I was so nervous to get my first passport, but Dean made the process super simple and straight forward! Very happy and thankful I went to this location and got helped by him!”
“Hey! If this is your flag which I think it is because of POW flag, is time to change it. The flag is split into two and that's a nono. Jun 2025, two months later on a visit, new flag, thank you.”
“I don't mind going to this post office especially since I live so close. I can't say I haven't had my share of problems with them, but it is the post office and sometimes thats to be expected. Generally when I go I'm in and out as opposed to other larger ones. I wish parking was better, but downtown Clayton is pretty small”
“i completely forgot my old school id two days ago when i picked up my package and i just got it in the mail today! i didn’t even hit anybody up for it! a+ customer service thank you very much”
“The Lafayette post office is a great place for your needs. And their customer service is awesome. They got above and beyond, to make sure their needs are met at their business. Thank you.”
“My husband and I just received such high quality service it honestly amounted to concierge level service from Ali who processed our expired passport renewal. We arrived without an appointment (you can make an appointment but they will try to serve you if they can even without an appointment,) Ali took our photos, processed the forms and in ten minutes at most, we were all set and out the door. Best of all was Ali’s professionalism and friendly attitude.
UPDATE: On the above review and an added exceptional experience. We applied for our US Passport renewals with Ali at Alamo USPS on July 15, 2025. We received our new Passports Aug 13 and 15, 2025. Great service time.
On Aug 15, 2025, I took my 95 year old aunt in for passport renewal of her expired passport. Ali helped us. His patience and professionalism were superb. Great staff at Alamo, USPS office.”
“Ruth was very kind and helpful here! She's an excellent employee. She saved me $50 today by finding a spare box in the back so that I didn't have to use the XL size they had in stock. The XL would have cost $74 (and was too big for the stuff I had to ship), but the box she found only cost me $24 to ship. Thank you Ruth!”
“Went during lunch on a random Tuesday and they had 3 people working which made the process very fast.
Also got tips from the clerk on priority mail which was very helpful!”
“Ok so update. Although I didn't get a call the driver came back and showed a worker where they left the package. I definitely got my delivery thank you so much for going out the way to come back.”
“My recent visit to the US Postal Service for a change of address was a mixed experience. The process itself was fairly simple and efficient, which was a relief. However, my observation with the Customer Service left me with conflicting feelings.
On the one hand, the representatives were undeniably friendly and welcomed each customer but on the other hand, I couldn't shake off a disconcerting incident I witnessed. While waiting in line, I overheard a customer, whose native language wasn't English, seeking assistance regarding fragile items. The customer selected yes, when they should’ve selected no on the keyboard. Unfortunately, they were advised by the representative to bring their own interpreter if they couldn't communicate effectively in English. This struck me as somewhat insensitive and disappointing.
While I understand the practical challenges faced by the establishment, it's crucial for them to offer language services to accommodate diverse customers. Expecting individuals to bring their own interpreters seems impractical and burdensome. The availability of toll-free numbers for language assistance should be actively promoted and utilized to ensure equal access to services and although this would require additional steps, it’s something all establishments should do.
Overall, the US Postal Service seems to strive for kindness, friendliness, and professionalism, but there's room for improvement in addressing language barriers and ensuring inclusivity.
On a positive note: I really enjoyed their large selection of greeting cards and the person who helped me was supper kind in explaining the process of changing my home addresses ?”
“They don't answer the phone because they don't have one here unfortunately, they have really long lines, and the only good thing about this office is they are helpful and are nearby where I live so I can send packages”
“Never had a problem in this location. Especially happy with the service after bad experience in San Leandro Manor PO. I spent less than a minute to confirm my new address.”
“The bad reviews worried me but at least in my experience today it was totally fine. Rang the doorbell, lady came out quickly, I explained my issue with my package not being delivered to my home, she found it and gave it to me. Easy as that.”
“This is a great post office! It's unfortunate that their reviews don't reflect it.The staff is always incredibly helpful. And they have a lot of patience in dealing with helping people with their packaging. I've never seen a look of contempt from any of them. In fact the opposite. 5 Huge ? ? ? ? ?”
“I've been to this office 2 times and always have stellar service from the staff. April has exceeded my expectations in both of my visits and has been patient with answering any additional questions I've had. In my visits, I only had a small piece of mail to send out, nothing too complicated, so didn't think much of what experience I'd get when being helped. I was thoroughly impressed and was greeted with the utmost hospitality. April is good at her job and making sure it is done right. She welcomed me to visit the office again and I'd gladly take the offer when I'm in the area with a mail errand.”
“I never thought I would give a USPS location a high rating, 'til I came to this one. They're so friendly and helpful. I was trying to mail a couple of packages and surprised by the cost going to the other coast. I didn't even say anything but the lady there was so nice asked what it was and offered me cheaper mailing options. She even gave me the supplies to repack my packages. And I saw them even offer tape to help someone seal their package better. Can I just say Wow, that's so nice! Usually you get someone very moody behind the counter at other locations that would tell you to buy your own tape. This location is a USPS gem.”
