“The Encino Post Office operates with a level of consistency and efficiency that’s increasingly rare. Under the management of Alfonso, the branch is well-organized and runs smoothly even during busy hours. Wait times are generally short, and the staff appear well-trained and focused on keeping things moving without unnecessary delays.
Alfonso maintains a visible presence and seems actively involved in daily operations, which likely contributes to the overall professionalism of the team. The counters are staffed appropriately, lines are managed efficiently, and any questions are handled clearly and without confusion.
It’s evident that this location benefits from strong leadership and attention to process. Compared to other branches I’ve visited, the Encino location stands out for being clean, orderly, and consistent. It’s a reliable place to take care of postal needs without hassle.”
“Very helpful and efficient service!! I was sending a birthday package and Dimitris found the perfect package and did an excellent job packing my fragile items. Would highly recommend!”
“Excellent Service at Westwood USPS
I am absolutely amazed by the service at the United States Postal Service in Westwood. Every single letter I send from this location reaches its recipient without any issues. In the past, my mail would often get lost when sent from other branches, but here everything works flawlessly!
The staff are wonderful — always friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to answer any questions. They work quickly and accurately, and they know exactly when to suggest additional services. Everything here is just perfect. Thank you!”
“I went in to deliver a package to Wisconsin and the man at the desk, Mickey, was so kind and helpful. He went above and beyond to explain what the best option would be for delivering my fragile package. I really felt like my delivery was in good hands and he was just a genuinely kind person which is rare to find in service these days. Thank you Mickey!”

“Greatest Post Office on earth. Seriously, the entire team from Lupe to Daniel to Raul have allowed me to grow my business faster than I had ever hoped.Looking for a Post Office with actually super friendly employees and great service? Well, turns out it exists and it’s nestled nicely within Topanga.My only concern is that the team seems to be understaffed and overworked since the new Postmaster took over. The team works as hard as humanly possible, but there are still limits to what can be reasonably accomplished with only one or two employees at the front, especially as we approach the busiest time of the year for packages and mail.Thank you team!Andy”
“Dolly goes above and beyond expectations for helping her customers out with questions about packages and mail ! 100% will recommended her to anyone . She is the best with providing such kind customer service :)”
“I had to send out a few small items and received truly outstanding service from start to finish. From choosing the right box to packing, creating the shipping label, and final payment—everything was handled quickly, professionally, and with a smile. Thank you so much!”
“Never crowded, always helpful, which is saying a lot for the USPS these days. Whenever we have the time to drive a bit farther to drop off a package, we stop here.”
“Mailed a couple packages here for priority mail. They had the priority boxes and labels available. It wasn’t too busy when we went. Great customer service that was efficient.”
“Came here bcz it was one of the few P.O.s open on a Saturday. The sweet & professional employee working the counter, Brandy, was the BEST. So repectful, zero attitude, and hard working.”
“Postal service gentleman is friendly and helpful. PO closes between 1-2 pm on weekdays. Crowded parking lot. Watch out for unsafe motorists who make unsafe turns against the direction of traffic flow.”
“Such a convenient location, always in an easy in, and out to satisfy your post office needs. Always helpful attendants to take care of you. Tons of parking in the front, side, and back of this commercial center”

“I came here for the first time to submit my passport application and I actually got the wrong dates but the right time for my appointment. I didn’t realize this until after I got there. This really nice black woman helped me out and she was able to squeeze me in and I cannot thank her enough for doing that for me. Which again was my a fault of my own for coming in on the wrong date. It was a super fast process it took less than 10 mins since I already came prepared with everything ready. I didn’t catch her name but I wanted to write this review to let her know that her kindness did not go unnoticed <3”

“I took my friend who has some difficulty due to a previous stroke. She had concerns about her mail box security at her home address and we went to inquire about a PO Box.
Sterling was so accommodating and made the process easy for her to understand as she gets confused easily and sometimes needs a little more time to process information. He explained everything including the process when ordering/receiving boxes or packages from Amz, Fedx, UPS, as they do not deliver to PO box. Very important to know.
Sterling was patient and reassuring. We both left knowing we made the right choice and Sterling had her back….he truly did.
Sterling is actually Golden! Thank you so much for your kindness, patience & compassion.”
“I started coming to this post office and I feel comfortable with Marisa. She is very professional and polite and I did a mistake but she helped me to fix it. I just love her attitude. She is great!??”
“I was dealing with a frustrating situation involving a missing parcel that had been stuck in transit with no updates for days. After getting nowhere online, I came into the branch hoping for some clarity—and that’s when I met Victor, the branch manager.
Victor was not only professional but genuinely helpful and patient. He took the time to listen, pulled up the tracking information, and made several calls on my behalf to locate the package. Thanks to his persistence and clear communication, we were able to track it down and get it moving again.
It’s rare these days to find someone who truly cares and follows through. Victor turned a stressful experience into a positive one. Huge thanks to him and the team at this location—your help made all the difference!”

“I stopped by this USPS office to drop of an Amazon return. I been to the plaza this USPS office is in so many times but never knew there was a USPS here. I found parking easily since this office is in a plaza with many parking spots. When I walked inside the post office, there was no one in line so I was able to walk up and hand my package since everything was paid for already. I got my receipt and left, it was a simple and easy process.”
“I was having a hard day, panicking about everything I had to get done and Brenda helped me. She just went that extra step to make it easier for me. I felt human and cared for. Which hardly ever (if ever) happens anymore. THANK YOU BRENDA!”
“online it says they’re open till 4pm but that’s a huge lie. They’re only open till 3pm. I’ve asked them numerous times. Can they please change the times to reflect their actual hours online and they just look at me like I’m an alien.”
“This is my second time stopping by. The first one was not good at all. Probably it is because it's almost 5pm and they're closing soon. The male postal worker must be tired and he is not happy to answer inquiries. The second time, I came Friday afternoon. There was a line but it went fast. This lady named Sandra helped me to make the transaction easy. She explained to me in detail the differences regarding the amount of each mailing options. With that, it helped me a lot to decide. I agree with a fellow Yelper - Sandra has been a great. Recommended.”
“Gina was unbelievably helpful in helping me figure out shipping out my package. I wouldn’t have been able to get it done without her. Never have I met such a helpful individual at any other usps location!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Postmasters on Riverside Dr is hands down my go-to for shipping. The two gentlemen there are always super helpful and really know the ins and outs—whether I’m shipping to family in New York or sending packages internationally.
I’m writing this review because they saved me big time. Today, FedEx wanted $180 per package (plus box fees) to ship two large boxes to Utah. I went to Postmasters instead and they got it down to $88.20 per package. Huge difference.
Honest, knowledgeable, and fair pricing. I won’t ship anywhere else.”
“Great experience overall! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the amenities were top-notch. Definitely would recommend for a nice getaway!”
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about this USPS location. I’ve been here multiple times for different services, and every visit has been consistently excellent.
The employees are incredibly kind, patient, and thorough. They explain everything clearly and make sure nothing is missed. You can really tell they care about doing their job well.
Hands down the best USPS experience I’ve ever had. Huge compliments to the entire team! you’re doing a fantastic job!”

“The employees make this location a 5 star one, especially Janice, she is a superstar, the epitome of stellar customer service!
This location is so much cleaner than many other post offices.
Parking spots are sparse, but there are a couple of large parking lots nearby and the streets have parking too”
“Only 4 stars because of the long wait ( 1hr outside, about 2 inside just waiting) but know that I did not have an appointment. Staff was extremely knowledgeable, helpful AND friendly! (Though tired, they're dealing with a lot).
1. Make sure your documents are COMPLETELY filled out BEFORE coming. If not I guess do it in line outside but bring a clipboard or something to write on. They do have a LIMITED supply of paper applications and they run out so that's why they recommend coming with your own.
2. Be prepared to wait. Bring water, headphones, a portable charger for your phone, a book, playing cards, whatever. You're gonna have to kill some time. There is AC inside and god bless them a fan (and it's hot) but there's an outside area with tables should you brave the heat (some of them have umbrellas so it's not too bad). One lady brought lunch with her. Queen.
3. Be prepared to STAND too. There aren't enough chairs. Wear comfortable shoes.
4. There are NO public bathrooms.
5. There are vending machines that are cash/coin only. Not sure if it's expensive but at least those are an option.
6. There was a fruit vendor near here and that fruit looked glorious in this heat so BRING CASH and support your local vendor.
All in all, my partners appointment only took him like 5 mins lol. Other people's seem to take way longer.”
“I wanted a printed and email receipt but didn't get either. I was about to walk out pretty upset but then when I turned around I told her lady at the counter that I really needed the receipt because I paid extra for tracking number she let me go right ahead and printed a receipt for me. Great customer service she was really sweet she was the only one there.. even though there was a line she was very patient and welcoming.”
“OMG the 4930 Balboa Blvd, Encino, CA 91316 post office is so amazing it's much better compared to the damn Winnetka USPS office around the corner of my home were I'm still resolving an issue with a package I assume they lost and is stuck in pre shipment after mom dropped it off for me the staff is friendly and amazing and I love the place so clean and tidy if you live near by just do it go to that office drive the extra mile for great service don't get disappointed by stupid customer service the post office I mention above my review is worth it a great place”
