“I am mind blown at the kindness I received today at this Post office. Thank you so much lady for helping me reduce the size of my package to save a few dollars. I’m trying to save for a road trip with my family and have been unfortunate to all of the sudden need car repairs as well as a dental procedure due within weeks of my trip I’ve been trying to save for that I will now have little to bring on the trip since these pressing circumstances are very costly. Every little bit of money helps. Thank you thank you ?”
“The staff are efficient, friendly, show high level of competency.. their work ethics are exceptional despite the increasing demands for passport applications and renewals. They try their best to give each customers an exceptional customer service. Thank you again.”
“The best post office, because Cindy and the other ladies are always friendly. Majority of the time I get the clerk Cindy who is always nice about scanning my packages. I always get a receipt and she’s never refused me unlike the workers at the post office on Elliot street. They’re extremely pushy about leaving your packages in a bin. It’s too risky not having them scanned in and getting confirmation. Anyway, Cindy is great and so is this post office!”

“I had a great experience with this Live Scan location. I walked in without an appointment and was helped right away. The staff was professional, friendly, and made the whole process really quick and easy. Prices were cheaper than many other areas that I called and no there was no hidden fees. Definitely recommend this spot if you need fingerprinting done efficiently and stress-free. Michelle was excellent at her service.”
“I had a great experience at the Covina United States Postal Service office while helping my husband get his passport for the first time. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. It was super easy to make the appointment online, and when we arrived, everyone was friendly and helpful. The staff made sure we had everything we needed and walked us through the steps clearly. It made what could have been a stressful process feel quick and easy. Thank you to the Covina USPS team for the excellent service!”
“This post office has been a surprising source of calm for me since early this year. Some days I stop by just to drop off mail or packages, and other days I simply pass through, but every time, it’s consistent: clean, quiet, and efficient.
The attendant in the mornings always greets me with a smile, and I genuinely get the sense he remembers me (or maybe it’s my little dog Mimi he recognizes). Either way, the friendliness makes a difference. He even shared that Mondays are their busiest days, which explains why my morning visits always feel so easy and unrushed.
The building itself is beautiful, full of Old Pasadena charm. The high ceilings, intricate windows, and natural light make it one of those rare post offices where you don’t mind waiting. Even the mailboxes have a vintage look that adds to the character.
There’s also a window for prepaid USPS packages, which makes drop-offs simple and quick. I’ve never had a hassle here, and I always leave impressed with how fast the experience is.
If you appreciate efficiency and historic beauty, this is hands down one of the best post offices around.”
“I have been to 4 post office locations in the city of Pasadena CA. This one by far has the most friendliest and helpful staff out of all the locations I have been to! Seriously, I have received attitude and even hostility at 2 of the 3 other post office locations that I have done business at. If you need to do any business with the USPS in the city of Pasadena CA, this is the location you want to go to!”
“Never have I ever felt compelled to write a review for a post office, good or bad. But today I went to this post office and the employee there (Carlos) was just so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful, I felt compelled to write a review and to say “Go, Carlos!””
“Our local U.S. Post Office... convenient and well-stocked.
Our favorite clerk retired after decades of service and we are glad to see his legacy of customer service continue with the current staff. Thank you USPS.”
“I've always lived in this city and I go here most of the time. Bryan and Tracy usually help me. They are always cheery, helpful and very knowledgeable about how to send mail/packages. Last Saturday had a 5 minute wait. Not bad for a weekend. Excellent customer service.”
“Everyone here has been friendly and superbly helpful(and I have worked with everyone that's been here over the past decade).
Many of the bad reviews are for general frustrations with post office speed and delivery in general.
Solutions?
1. Remove people with conflicts of interest (ie DeJoy and Wos who may claim up to a total $75,815,000 in assets from U.S. Postal Service competitors, according to government records) from positions of power and/or force them do divest from companies that benefit from USPS's shortcomings.
2. Invest in your infrastructure and workers. Make sure there are enough mail carriers; ensure they are paid fair wages that raise with inflation; and prevent deteriorating labor standards which will inevitably get in the way of effective and efficient mail delivery. (The former removes many disincentives for this.)”

“Best post office ever. There wasn't another soul in the place. When I went to the counter, I had to call to the back to find anyone who worked there, but he was very nice and helpful.”
“all other USPS close an hour earlier on Saturdays. I drove to this location for a last day return. The workers were nice despite being tired during their last hour of their shift.”
“This is one of my go to post office locations when I am visiting family every couple months.
The city of South Pasadena finished their last phase in landscaping the remaining grassy area in the south side by the public parking lot.
Fun Fact:
They built a 100% California native, drought tolerant demonstration garden. Selected plants that are naturally suited to the hot and sunny weather while also supporting pollination and providing food and shelter for wildlife.
Plantings will have color at different times of year, and include Cleveland Sage, St. Catherine’s Lace Buckwheat, Toyon, a ‘Desert Museum’ Palo Verde tree, among other plants.”
“I go to this location in Pasadena only because I like seeing Junior and I trust him with my transactions. Trust is the most important aspect for a customer and he has earned my trust as a representative of the USPS. Trust can be of short supply these days and he continues to earn it. All these years I've never lost a package and I ship a lot. Also, he knows other customers by name and everyone in line is happy to see him! Not all customers are right in the head though. I've seen self entitled customers become completely belligerent because they didn't get what they demanded even though it wasn't even sensible. I've seen him help direct these crazy customers nicely even when they are being completely disrespectful to him. Junior is awesome and he deserves a raise! I will be a loyal customer with the USPS because of him.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Michelle for my passport application, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help. From start to finish, she was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and efficient. She guided me through every step of the process, answered all my questions clearly, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel completely manageable. Thanks to Michelle, my application was completed accurately and submitted on time. Her professionalism and kindness truly stood out. Highly recommend her if you need assistance—she’s fantastic!”
“In general this is always a better post office than most. Today Helen helped me SO much with stamps I've been looking everywhere for, she really seems to care about the selection available. Cheers to her”
“It's a very small post office, right off Irwindale Ave and Arrow Hwy, on a side street directly across from a city park and the Irwindale Police Station. The parking lot has 4 spots, one is disabled only, however, there is parking permitted at it's curb on the street, which is why 4 stars. If you arrive at 2:00pm during weekdays, you'll have to come back at 2:30pm to allow the employees their lunch break. There's also the drive-up out-going stamped mailbox with the Priority Mailbox and Express in the parking area. It isn't as big as the Covina Post Office on Rimsdale or the West Covina P.O. nearby the West Covina Fashion Plaza which may discourage some but I find a bonus for no waiting, generally. It has a handicapped entrance and ramp next to disabled spot. And I've yet to see any of the postal employees being rude or unhelpful to any of the customers and there definitely is no woman by the door asking if you need stamps (really? it's so small, she'd get in the way if she existed) as one review claimed. I just like it because it's quick and easy if I need to go inside.”
“I wanted to say thank you to the warm hearted lady professional who works at the front desk (I wish I had your name) yesterday and today (5/28, 5/29). I had urgent calls about extremely important documents packages to pick up for my family trip departing the next day. She called me the 1st thing this morning to inform me of the package arrived. I now have the package. Greatly appreciated your help! Thank you thank you!!”
“This is a small US Post Office in Montebello that offers all the services made possible by the USPS. It is open Monday through Friday until 4:30 pm. They close right on the dot. You can drop off letters, packages, rent a postal box, buy greeting cards, gift cards, and obviously buy stamps. The front desk postal workers are always friendly and very helpful. But please be patient when you decide to come here. They usually have one cashier servicing customers.”
“Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. The man who helped me saved me money by recommending the better shipping method for my books and the rest of the team had really good energy. A bit far from my house but will come back here for my postal needs.”
“I had to mail a set of important legal documents, and I was in a bit of a rush. The staff at this post office went above and beyond, making sure I picked the fastest yet affordable shipping option. They explained everything thoroughly and ensured my documents were safely packaged. The service was quick, professional, and the prices were very fair, especially for the quality I received. I’m so grateful for their help, and I will definitely return for all my mailing needs.”
“Offers bulk drop off in the back if you have prepaid labels. Larger location and can save time if you buy postage ahead of time. Parking lot is pretty small and cramped so highly recommend parking on the street”

“Just came to drop off a package. I’m not one to really mail anything out but Doug made everything so simple. He went out of his way to help me out and provide me better options.
People like Doug make this a better place!”
“The people at this post office have always been so friendly and helpful. Yeah sure, sometimes there are long lines but, time it out people. Nine years ago Helen and Kathy were incredibly helpful to me in getting seemingly endlesses packages sent out, always in a last-minute hurry. Then Henry came, and it always been unfailingly nice and patient. There are new people there and I've only been a couple times but they've also been nice. Two free parking lots, always parking available.”
“Nice and friendly staff. Moderate wait time, you can tell they’re trying their best it’s just a smaller more remote office, if you tailor your expectation to what it is you’ll be fine.”
“I would like to sincerely thank and commend a staff member at the post office, his name is Jonathan Lopez, he is a star! He is exceptionally dedicated and professional. I recently had a piece of mail that was not delivered, and thanks to their swift assistance, the issue was located and resolved within just a few hours.
His efficiency, responsibility, and attention to detail left a deep impression on me. He truly stood out as a model of excellence. I hope their efforts can be recognized, as they deserve to be a role model for outstanding customer service.
Thank you again for your help — it meant a lot!”
“The service is good, though sometimes a bit slow with long lines, especially during peak hours and weekends. Recently, they installed a kiosk here, which helps a lot”
“Postal Services in Sierra Madre, Los Angeles, California...We had just finished breakfast nearby when I asked my friend, Hannah, if there was a post office nearby. She pointed and said that there was one right around the corner! Yay!Sierra Madre's post office is cozy, calm, and mellow. I felt like I was in a safe, small, quaint country town. I parked in the back of the building and walked in the building from the side door.Other people parked in the front, on the street, and walked in the front door.It wasn't crowded, so, I walked right up to the letter slot, tossed my postcard in, and left.Easy as pie!”
