“When ever I went here to ship a package ? I would make the line, not super long but there's a line. One day I was in the line and one of the workers was asking if anyone had a QR code and I did and he told me that I didn't had to wait in the line, that I can do it myself on the self help machines. He showed me how to use it and now every time I go I just scan my QR code and the label prints out I Put it on my package and all done.”

“If I could give 15 our of 5 stars I would: for TUAN! I was there to mail a small package priority. The standard priority boxes weren't the right size, so Tuan customized a larger box to fit my item. He then put it in a priority envelope that was actually slightly cheaper than the box price-- hooked me up. I was having a rough day (tears leaking out despite my best efforts) and though he never said a word about it, he showed me tremendous care, compassion, and gentleness in a moment where I needed it most. He also xeroxed the address info I had on the original box and then just taped it on the new packaging, so I wouldn't have to step aside to rewrite it all. It's like he knew that would be a lot for me in that moment. He not only showed excellent customer service, but incredible humanity-- such a rare quality in this world. Tuan is an stellar human being and deserves all the praise!!! Oh, also, my priority package got from Burbank to Jersey in A DAY AND A HALF!! So Tuan also worked some magic to get my package in the fast lane. <3”

“Overall, this USPS location provides a solid and dependable experience. The staff are generally courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable, and transactions are handled efficiently once you reach the counter.

Wait times can vary during busier periods, which is fairly typical for a post office, but the service itself has been professional and straightforward. The location is functional, reasonably organized, and convenient for routine mailing, shipping, and postal needs.

A good option for anyone looking for reliable in-person postal service.”

“Ms. Kong is one of most helpful USPS officials I have ever encountered. She is patient, kind, and accommodating. She gave me the most affordable and efficient options for my recent mail devileries. Bless her heart!”

“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.”

“My rating is completely owed to Dana. I received a notice in my mailbox on Friday that I had a certified letter to collect. I submitted my redelivery request and instructions online. By Tuesday, the letter hadn't been redelivered and my carrier had left no follow up slips. Also, the system wouldn't allow me to resubmit a request. So, I opened a case. When I didn't hear back, I visited this location on Wednesday.

Dana came out from the back to help when a customer started shouting about the lack of service (one person at the desk, several in line). I saw the recognition in Dana's face when I showed him my notice, since he was already working on my case. He said he couldn't find my letter, because it wasn't where it was supposed to be.

Post office staff are frequently (and reasonably) exhausted and frustrated by their jobs because of how our country has been defunding and abusing USPS for many years. But, despite the many dysfunctions in the system, Dana clearly cared and took personal responsibility for others' errors -- both my mail carrier's and also whoever put my certified letter in the wrong place. He said he would call me back before he went home that night with an update.

He kept his word and called me back. At 8:00 p.m. He said he found the letter and put it where it belonged, and I could come pick it up the next day even though he wouldn't be there. So, I did.

Small actions of caring and competence like these give me hope as our systems continue to fall apart. Thank you Dana!”

“My favorite post office of all time. They have two self-serve kiosks which makes dropping of packages so easy. The employees are so nice and I always hear them laughing with customers. Every time I come in, I feel like I live in a small town because of how friendly everyone is.”

“It is, in fact, the most friendly post office I have ever had the pleasure of visiting! 100% of the credit goes to Tina. It was my first time in there and hopefully not my last. She was incredibly helpful, joyful, and much to my pleasant surprise… an Indiana Hoosiers fan!”

“I love this post office. Everyone has always been perfectly helpful and kind to me here. A good place to go buy some stamps and send some letters if you want to have a nostalgic quotidian interaction with another human being.”

“All USPS locations have gone down hill, in my experience, since DeJoy took over. And Steiner doesn’t seem much better — but, this is one of the better locations of all the bad options in this part of LA. I like it better than the one near Fairfax & Santa Monica, as well as the one over on Wilcox. Though this one can be short staffed and the drop off box for packages often sticks, the employees that are here seem nicer than average and the wait often seems shorter. I’ve noticed, too, that packages dropped off here seem to enter the tracking system before packages dropped off at any other nearby USPS branch! Which is important to me.”

“Fastest, kindest service I’ve ever encountered in a USPS store. ?? in and out in 20 seconds
My local post office is bad attitude HQ, so it was wonderful to be asked “how are you? :)” for once”

“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!”

“The friendliest post office I’ve ever visited in my life!
All the staff here are always very friendly and go above and beyond for the customers—even at 4:55 when the last-minute rush of people come in, and I’m sure the staff wants to go home.”

“Thank you Post Masters for Saving the Day!!!!!!!! I went to Fed Ex to box and ship a mother's day gift back home to the East Coast. The shipping cost quoted was disrespectful!! After trying 2 other places I found POST MASTERS!!! Hector and Ken were both so HELPFUL , PROFESSIONAL & KIND!!!!!! They took care of me, reboxed my package, gave me a reasonable shipping rate and the box is on it's way to my sweet Mom!!! It really means something when you find local companies that care and go the extra mile to be fair and deliver top notch service! So moving forward this is the place I will handle all my shipments and postal needs!!!! THANK YOU”

“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 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”

“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.”

“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.”

“Came by on Wednesday last week and they helped me out so quickly and both staff members were really nice!! Have a nice conversation as well I recommend coming here for anything!! This one and San Fernando usps will be a favorite! I’ve had my far shares to the closest one to me which is Pacoima and they were terrible and rude but now I know where to drop off my stuff at :)! Thank you”

“Slow and machine stencil wasn't working and postal rep didn't tell her for five minutes she could just use her finger. Probably because she was busy looking at her phone. Meanwhile the line grew from 3 to like 9.”

“I visited the Sunland Post Office and was fortunate enough to be greeted by the Postmaster, Abriel Vega. He was very polite, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. After one very short phone call, he managed to resolve my complex issue.”

“Queeny is the best. This post office is great. Things move quickly, always happy to help. Parking is a bit difficult sometimes, but it's a huge lot and its free.”

“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.”

“I use this Post Office most often and staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They are willing to help you mail your package to benefit you w/ arrival time and give options w/ pricing. They never rush you and seem to love their jobs. The place is always clean and love you can just walk to the plastic curtain and drop off a package that doesn't need any postage; just drop and go. We will continue to use the USPS location.”

“The USPS Beverly Hills Carrier Annex on N. San Vicente provided excellent service. Mike and Deya were kind and efficient, helping me retrieve a mail held for over a month. Just note they don’t answer calls since it’s a carrier office. Thanks for the help!”

“Warning: DO NOT SHIP ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO LOSE! GO WITH FEDEX, MIGHT BE A FEW BUCKS MORE BUT YOU WILL NOT NEED TO DEAL WITH THIS WHEN IT HAPPENS TO YOUR VALUABLE PROPERTY.

MY STORY
I am filing this complaint regarding the mishandling of an insurance claim and the unreasonable process required to attempt to resolve it.

Shipping services purchased through USPS include up to $100 in insurance coverage. Based on that, this should have been a straightforward process. Instead, what should have taken a short visit turned into hours of my time and three separate trips to the post office. Only to have my claim denied, why, because they did not review the info I already submitted.

I initially filed my claim online and later received a letter instructing me to bring the item in for inspection. I followed those instructions. However, upon visiting the post office, I was repeatedly told to return because no one was available to assist me. They said I need a supervisor, and one is not always present.

I made three separate visits, each time complying fully with what was requested. On my final visit, after already investing significant time, I provided all documentation. During that visit, the power went out. Shocker.

At that point, I asked the staff to hold the item while they clarified internally what was needed to complete the process, in order to avoid yet another unnecessary trip. The staff was not apologetic, knowledgeable, or helpful throughout this process.

Despite fully complying with all requirements and making repeated efforts, my claim was still denied. The stated reason was that proof of value was not provided. However, this documentation had already been submitted with the initial claim. It appears no proper review was conducted before denying the claim, resulting in further unnecessary delays and wasted time.

This process was unnecessarily difficult, time-consuming, and inefficient. What should have been a simple insurance claim turned into a prolonged back-and-forth with inconsistent instructions. As a result, I spent HOURS resolving something that should have taken minutes. Over 3 to 4 hours, this makes me sick to think about.

As a high-volume shipper (over X packages per month), I rely on USPS services and expect a reasonable and functional claims process. This experience has significantly reduced my trust in USPS handling of insured shipments.

I have escalated this matter to BBB, USPS Consumer Affairs and the Office of Inspector General.

Desired Resolution: Work on your process. No one should go through this.

I wish I could get back half the time I spent on this. I will never waste my time with them again. All trust is gone.”
