Post Offices near Solana Beach, CA

“This branch is usually excellent. I actually avoid the post office in Del Mar and travel farther to Solana Beach. But recently as the line grew, the only employee working the counter finally rang the bell for more help. A slovenly overweight man appeared to ask if anyone were just picking up mail. Hearing none, he departed. This is SOP for postmasters who NEVER roll up their sleeves to wait on customers. He had apparently directed the only other employee to empty trash and process packages instead of attending to customers. No one would ever run a business this way except the government, in particular, the U. S. Post Office.”

“This review could have been a one star but David turned it into a 5 star. I had an appointment for a passport application but for some reason it wasn’t showing up in the system and initially I received little sympathy or support. I was told I could reschedule or wait and hope someone else no showed for their appointment. At the end of the day David took care of me and my family. He could have easily forced us to reschedule but he helped us out. He saw my anxiety and was so kind. He went beyond what was necessary to really help me, and I will forever be grateful.”

“Set up my appointment online. Showed up 10 minutes early and they took me right in. I was out in 10 minutes. Very friendly women helped me.. service could not have been handled more professionally nor more friendly. Now I hope I get my new passport quickly. Fingers crossed!!”

“Thank You Chris and JonJon for changing my attitude towards going to the Post Office. I ship packages numerous times per month and use to dread the Post Office. Now, knowing either Chris or JonJon will be there and I'll be greeted with a smile, a hello and a genuine sense they care makes going here feel like a happy outing and not a dreaded chore. They are both friendly, professional and very knowledgeable any time I've asked or overheard another customer asking for help. The atmosphere and energy here is nothing but positive.Definitely recommend heading here to ship your packages.Thank you, thank you Chris and JonJon :)”

“This is a one-person operation and Lynn has worked here for years. She is one of the hardest workers I've ever seen in the USPS, and she has to contend with a lot of rude, demanding ignoramuses on a daily basis (see some of the other reviews to get an idea). I am an online seller and packages mailed from this office get scanned into the system within minutes. This is not true of the Encinitas main office where scans frequently do not happen at all (making sellers/shippers look lazy and dishonest). I have had a PO Box in this office since 2019 and I have never had anything but excellent service here, with the box and at the counter. Treat people with respect and they will respond in kind.”

“First time visiting! Went on a busy Monday morning around 930am. I had 30 envelopes that I had to mail out for Father’s Day. I waited in a line for less than 5minutes. The postal agent took good care of each envelope printing out stamps for each one. My experience overall was good. I highly recommend this location.”

“I recently had a great experience here at the Post Office with Myra who was super helpful and supportive. An important package had not arrived to my home, so I came in to get some help. Myra took the time to look up my tracking number, call around to nearby post offices, follow-up before she left the office for the day, and gave me a call the next morning saying the package had been found and would I like to pick it up or have it delivered in my mailbox the same day. I know sometimes a post office can get a bad wrap, but I received above and beyond excellent service, and I think it’s important to recognize that. Thanks Myra!”

“The service was very friendly, and the workers were very helpful. I would leave a little extra time because there are a lot of old-timers that come in and like to chitchat with the staff, which is charming, but when there is only one postal clerk available, I can take a few more extra minutes. On the other hand, when your time comes, they will take extra time to help you out.”

“I have lived here 53 years and I have never had bad service. They are quick and efficient but could use an extra person as they often seem rushed. I would probably give them five stars if there were an extra person.”

“This is an excellent post office. The employees here do their best dealing with a lot of customers and handling issues the best they can. It is not their fault that other people have issues they can’t control or fix. I love coming here to mail my packages and I know a lot of other people here do as well. I feel bad, they receive a lot of bogus complaints. A perfect example would be the one below me. What exactly is your complaint? You mentioned what he did to somebody else and your reasoning lacks anything factual or relevant. Put yourself in these people shoes and stop trying to dehumanize people who deal with the public.Keep up the great work Jeffrey, Kaila, Kiara and Lee!”

“Like most Military bases this base has a Post Office (staffed by civilians but mostly military personal) and is only accessible to those who have base privileges. No need to give it 1 star because you can’t access it. The staff is very kind and professional. I like to go to this location because it is clean, good parking and even when busy they move the line along quickly.”

“What a lovely experience! I was trying to send Easter bunnies to my Mama and sister and the mail clerk was very friendly and incredibly helpful. She took her time with me and explained all my options, trying to save me money. And, although limited, they have some pretty cards that I got to add to my package.”

“I come to this post office frequently and only ROMY is the most helpful and does the job right. I mailed out the same letter size several times and Romy gave me the exact amount of stamps needed while other clerks would rather over sell the postage amount then give me the correct price until I had to tell one of them why can't you give me the exact postage amount in stamps?! It's the principal not the $ amount. No one wants to get ripped off, so be aware if they try to have you pay more then you really should. If you get Romy he is the honest one.”

“I have worked in the area for 10+ years and have not had a bad experience yet. Everyone has been patient and kind to me. I have seen some real jerks come in and be very rude to the postal workers and they are still polite!!!!”

“After seeing the reviews I was expecting the worse but it was pretty painless. People made it seem like it was a terrible USPS location but apart from the customer door looking kind of run down everything went pretty smooth. I rang the bell and got my package 2 minutes later. It does look kind of weird and there's not a lot of parking so that could be an issue.”

“People should know that the staff has nothing to do with the location closing. If you need to complain, go to the usps.com or call the 1-800 number provided in the site. And if you are in a hurry to mail something do not arrive at closing time; manage your time! People should have their packages ready to ship. Not arrive with the label not pasted to the box or the box not closed properly expecting the staff to do it for you. If you have not pasted the address label or your box is opened then buy the tape and do it yourself. The post office is not a place to acquire free merchandise, the post office is a place to bring your prepared packages and they will kindly "mail it" with the appropriate stamps. That is their job, they are not your maid or your secretary! And do not compare the post office with fedex. Of course fedex will prepare the package for you; but it is not for free, they are charging you to do it! Save your money and dont be pretending for other people to do your work and then complain because it was not done to your standards! A lot of lazy people! People should stop complaining just because things do not accommodate to your lazy standards. And if the front cashier says that she knows there is no package in the back for you is because SHE KNOWS! Never think she is being disrespectful by not walking to the back and coming back and saying the same thing. They work there and they know what is there and what is not there! I believe they do a great job with what they have! They are employers like you and me! And they do their best to help you with your attitude!”
