“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”
“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”
“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.”
“US Post Office atwater village is located in an older, smaller building, but it’s very convenient with easy access from the 5 Freeway. Its location just north of Downtown LA makes it a practical option for nearby residents.
There is free outdoor parking available, which is a plus. It can get quite busy near closing time (around 5 PM on weekdays), so expect some crowds then.
The staff are generally friendly and helpful. Overall, a convenient neighborhood post office.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“This post office always has at least 3 stations open, which is more than other local ones, and I have found the workers to be friendly and helpful, even though there is a long line sometimes. The one-way parking entrance/exit can be confusing your first time there, so enter carefully.”
“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 went in and there was a long line. I thought I would be in line forever, but there was a Supervisor assisting what customers he could, which impacted how long the line was. Before I knew it, I was being served by one of the 2 window clerks. I was thanked for waiting in line. The Supervisor also thanked me for waiting in line as I left. Seemed to me the folks working there were doing their best to serve the customers as best they could.”
“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”
“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.”

“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”
“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!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.”
“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”

“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!”
“My passport expired and I needed a new one quickly for a trip that I am planning. The USPS in Sun Valley, CA was the nearest location that offered passport services. This location offers appointments & walk-in services from 10am to 11am. I arrived at 10am and waited in line for my turn. I was greeted by Roel, the USPS associate at the front desk with a smile and a good morning.
I had a few questions about the process which he answered immediately and then he took me through the process of renewing my passport. He was professional, exceptionally efficient and thorough. He found a few errors on my application and helped me correct them. He took my photo and suggested the photo that would best complete the passport application and then I paid the fee for expedited service due to my time issues. I had been dreading this task but Roel made it a very pleasant experience and I was finished before 11am and for that I am very grateful for Roel, the Sun Valley USPS passport boss?”
