“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!”
“This post office single-handedly revived my faith in USPS. Or, rather, my faith that trips to the post office can be pleasant. The two fellows that seem to be there most often are so effusively friendly and helpful! To the point where one of them, I believe his name is Jackie, got me something green to wear on Saint Patrick's Day so I wouldn't get pinched. We've since moved and I genuinely miss having those nice moments when I'd run errands. To those who can frequent this post office, please take some time to appreciate it!”
“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 :)”
“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”
“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!”
“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.”
“Best place ever. They always go out of their way to please customers (no diddy). I’ve been using them
8 years now and I always feel good when I visit.”
“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!”
“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”
“Easily the most helpful post office workers I e ever had been going here for 6 years and if there’s confusion with a stamp they help you instead of get frustrated that you didnt select the right postage”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I came in with some assorted boxes and envelopes unsure about the exact postage to use, and Marisa was so patient and helpful. She gave the best advice to spend less money and even let me use some tape to seal up my box. I've been to many other LA post office branches and never left feeling happier than when I went in. Marisa is a treasure!”
“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.”
“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”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.”
“I am surprised about some of the negative comments. This has been my post office for 20 years and I have never found the staff less than courteous and professional.”
“Rick is the best!! He’s always working very hard and doing his best to assist everyone. He never has attitude, he’s always very nice and patient. I used to dread going to the post office because you never know what you’re gonna get with the employees but he always makes the whole process easy”
“Idk what ppl are talking about, I scheduled an appointment for my passport came in, lady at the desk was very kind turns out I was missing a copy and she was super helpful told me to just go down the street and get a copy, came back and was in and out in 15 minutes workers were all cordial and nice, much much better than any DMV or passport office I’ve ever been to definitely will come here next time”
“I recently sent important documents via registered mail from this Post Office, and I'm thrilled with the experience. The staff was meticulous in handling the paperwork and ensuring my package's security. The quality of their service was exceptional, and the peace of mind I had knowing my items were in safe hands was priceless. This Post Office is my go-to choice for sending sensitive materials.”
“Sometimes, we don't know when we'll be needing a post office when not in our usual stomping grounds. Looking for one on the phone pulled up several in adjacent neighborhoods, so why not go to one in Calabasas, a very nice, wooded, and hilly neighborhood at Los Angeles's far western edge?I see that there's a spread in the reviews for the USPS in Calabasas, CA. We've all had some outlier experiences with post offices we regularly use. Some post offices are almost always marginal, but that's rare and can sometimes coincide with their area in general. I almost hate to say that. The Calabasas post office is in a strip mall. It shares parking with other merchants in this strip mall, but a parking space is likely to be found.I needed to send a small box using the USPS priority mail product. Their free boxes you obtain for this service are well designed - in how sturdy they are, in how easy they are to assemble, and even in how easy it is to remove the protective adhesive so that the box will seal. The price for this was just about $10.The gentleman at the counter was helpful and polite. He even added some extra tape at my request, even though the box probably would not have come undone. But why chance it? We made some small talk, given how uncrowded it was at the time, and we commented on how the SFV and the West Side of L.A. have changed over the years.I was told the parcel would arrive in 2 days. It got to its destination the following day! I'm giving this post office 4 stars because it's a small post office. However, it's clean and seems to function well.Now, let me add some pedantic fodder to this review. First, more so than any other section of the city of Los Angeles, SFV suburbs tend to use the name of the suburb (Northridge, Van Nuys, Sylmar, Studio City, etc.) on the mailing address, whereas West Side suburbs like Brentwood, Ladera Heights, and Miracle Mile use Los Angeles on the mailing address. However, if you were to send something to a SFV suburb and address it to Los Angeles - followed by the correct zip code - I'm pretty sure it would get there. Then, the word "calabazas," from which Calabasas was probably derived, means pumpkins in Spanish.”
“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.”
“This is the USPS location I use most of the time because it’s the closest to my house. The staff are always super friendly and ready to explain anything I need help with. They have a small parking lot that can get busy at times you might have to wait a minute or two or circle back for a spot. Inside, there are only two or three service counters, but the staff work efficiently and keep the line moving, so wait times are rarely an issue. I’ve had to send packages internationally before, and any time I had questions about the forms or process, they helped me every step of the way with a smile on their faces. It’s a completely different experience compared to the Reseda location, where everyone always looks miserable. I 100% recommend this USPS location to anyone in the Winnetka area who needs to send mail.”
“Today I understand there is special and very good person who’s working there, she helped me and she has the best customer service. Her Name is Mary, thank you Mary, Appreciated ❤️”
“This is the post office I usually go to because it's the closest one to where I work. The staff are always nice and friendly, and they answer any questions you might have about sending or receiving mail. There's plenty of parking at this location, and they have some self-serve machines that help you avoid waiting in line if you don't need assistance. When you do have to wait, the time depends on how many people are in line and how many staff are working the counter that day. It's always a pleasant experience using USPS. See you next time for the next letter or package!”
“I always see the same 2-3 people working the counters any time I stop by and they are always so kind. They do remember me and ask me about my day and just have a good conversation. No need for anyone to disrespect these workers”
“Gonzal and Tristan were both very helpful guiding a package through the USPS system that got hung up in the Phoenix Distribution Center. Once it arrived at the Reseda location, it was quickly put in the hands of the recipient. Thank you both for your help!”
