“The staff at the location are so patient and helpful. We went here after trying to get passport renewed at the Dusterberry Way location in vain. While the folks at Dusterberry had attitude and found every way to reject our renewal form, the folks at Newark patiently worked with the same form and got it done. Worth every mile of extra drive.”

“Could you please explain why there’s currently only one staff member assisting customers at the post office? The line has grown to about 15 people, and it’s been this way for quite some time. Are there any plans to return to having two staff members at the counter to help with the demand?”

“Kudos to the employee who searched for my mail in the office and contacted the person who distributes mail to confirm they had it. My mail, which included my passport, had missing information, which is why it wasn't delivered for a month. She took the time to help me, and I truly appreciate her effort!”

“I had a great experience at the Woodside Post Office. Monique and Daisy were both super friendly, kind, and helpful. I had a question about shipping a package to Germany, and they took the time to walk me through the process and make sure everything was set up correctly.

What I really appreciated is that they accepted the discounted shipping level I was using — I’ve been to other post offices where they give you a hard time about that, but here, it was no problem at all.

The whole visit was easy, smooth, and just plain pleasant. It’s not often you leave a post office in a good mood, but this one honestly made my day. Thank you, Monique and Daisy — you’re the best!”

“It’s okay. I like the ones that have the self service station as it’s much easier and this one does not have one. Still able to do what you need but be prepared to wait and stand in line for a good period of time.”

“In a recent conversation regarding frustrations with mail delivery services, a postal employee addressed customer concerns about delays and inefficiencies at their local post office.

First Statement: The employee explained the limitations of the local post office, clarifying that it operates only as a retail window and not as a carrier annex. This means that while mail does arrive at this location, delivery carriers work from a different facility. If a delivery attempt fails, a notice is left, and packages are brought to the post office for customer pickup later, which can sometimes take up to two days depending on the workload.

Second Statement: The employee acknowledged broader frustrations faced by postal workers nationwide due to changes implemented by the current administration. They highlighted that recent layoffs and a shift towards hiring inexperienced temporary workers have exacerbated issues within the Postal Service, resulting in slower mail delivery and increased instances of lost mail. The employee emphasized that postal workers are actively protesting these changes in hopes of improvement but warned that challenges are likely to persist over the next few years.”

“Very nice and knowledgeable USPS employee answered all my questions

On getting the access to the Postal Office - I've just demonstrated my CA driving license, stated that I wanted to visit the Post office to check for my mail and I was allowed to drive in with no further questions”

“The bad reviews are justifiable, especially since the USPS website is not helpful at all. However, when you do know the correct pick-up hours, then there's not much to complain about. I had to pick up some mail because my address isn't fully validated or something, and it took under 5 minutes for them to find it all.

They should consider adding another timeslot, like on a weekend or maybe in the evening.”

“This is one of two Post Offices in the area that I know of that has a Self-Service Kiosk AND where the lobby is open 24 hours - AMAZING ? LIFE SAVER! The other Post Office with 24-hour Kiosk access is in downtown Mountain View. SO GRATEFUL! I can never make it to the post office before they close - so I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 24-hr Self-Service Kiosk. You can buy postage, get Priority Mail packaging and mail it all on your own. We are so lucky to have this available to us and I hope they never decide to close the lobby. Thank you USPS. Big fan of this service!”
