“It's wonderful to see a place with such a positive atmosphere! ? While some familiar faces may have moved on, it's heartwarming that the spirit of the community still shines through. I appreciate the dedication of those who continue to make this place a vibrant hub. It’s a testament to the enduring connections people build. I'm always happy to support places that foster a great vibe. Wishing everyone there continued success! ??????”
“The staff at the location are so patient and helpful. We went here after trying to get passport renewed at the Dusterberry Way location in vain. While the folks at Dusterberry had attitude and found every way to reject our renewal form, the folks at Newark patiently worked with the same form and got it done. Worth every mile of extra drive.”
“Aihua was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful while assisting with passport applications for my two daughters. She made the process easy, smooth, and stress-free. We truly appreciate her outstanding customer service. Thank you, Aihua!”

“Woman at the counter has repeatedly and quickly helped me with complex tasks for mailing packages. Best post office service I've had. This post office is small, they are NOT open on Saturdays, and closed for lunch.”
“This place is always quick and efficient. They know what they're talking about and they are polite and informative. The line went from 6 people in front of me to me in a matter of about 3 minutes. And that's with questions being asked and answered. I love this post office and the people who work here.”
“Saturday afternoon, only USPS is open until 4pm. Others closed at 12:30 pm.10 people in line and 3 employees helping ring up the customers... I was out the doorin10 minutes”
“The best post office I have ever been to in the area the best service although I remember the last time I was there, there’s a power outage and the way that the individuals working there. They really were very professional about it and dealt with it very well and I prefer this post office over the Castro Valley location thank you so much for having such great service And I look forward to coming back again one day.”
“The ladies at this establishment are so sweet and recommend better packaging for cheaper pricing ! I always go for my shipping needs i have family across country !”
“Ok so update. Although I didn't get a call the driver came back and showed a worker where they left the package. I definitely got my delivery thank you so much for going out the way to come back.”
“It’s okay. I like the ones that have the self service station as it’s much easier and this one does not have one. Still able to do what you need but be prepared to wait and stand in line for a good period of time.”
“Went during lunch on a random Tuesday and they had 3 people working which made the process very fast.
Also got tips from the clerk on priority mail which was very helpful!”

“I would like to give a shout-out to Grace. Came here today to activate a mail box my son had applied for online. Grace was very helpful, guiding me through every step of the process to get it activated. Despite being the only staff at a busy branch office, she was super patient, thorough, and very friendly to everyone.”
“I want to say, the staff is so kind and professional at this location! I lost a receipt a few weeks ago, and I couldn't see her name but the lady on the very right hand side booth bent her back trying to get my receipt I lost. Literally so kind and professional. She didn't seem annoyed at all and the nicest. I can't thank her enough for the help she gave!”
“My recent visit to the US Postal Service for a change of address was a mixed experience. The process itself was fairly simple and efficient, which was a relief. However, my observation with the Customer Service left me with conflicting feelings.
On the one hand, the representatives were undeniably friendly and welcomed each customer but on the other hand, I couldn't shake off a disconcerting incident I witnessed. While waiting in line, I overheard a customer, whose native language wasn't English, seeking assistance regarding fragile items. The customer selected yes, when they should’ve selected no on the keyboard. Unfortunately, they were advised by the representative to bring their own interpreter if they couldn't communicate effectively in English. This struck me as somewhat insensitive and disappointing.
While I understand the practical challenges faced by the establishment, it's crucial for them to offer language services to accommodate diverse customers. Expecting individuals to bring their own interpreters seems impractical and burdensome. The availability of toll-free numbers for language assistance should be actively promoted and utilized to ensure equal access to services and although this would require additional steps, it’s something all establishments should do.
Overall, the US Postal Service seems to strive for kindness, friendliness, and professionalism, but there's room for improvement in addressing language barriers and ensuring inclusivity.
On a positive note: I really enjoyed their large selection of greeting cards and the person who helped me was supper kind in explaining the process of changing my home addresses ?”
“I've been to this office 2 times and always have stellar service from the staff. April has exceeded my expectations in both of my visits and has been patient with answering any additional questions I've had. In my visits, I only had a small piece of mail to send out, nothing too complicated, so didn't think much of what experience I'd get when being helped. I was thoroughly impressed and was greeted with the utmost hospitality. April is good at her job and making sure it is done right. She welcomed me to visit the office again and I'd gladly take the offer when I'm in the area with a mail errand.”
“Rapid Drop off is extremely convenient.
Scan prepaid label -> select options accordingly -> print out receipt -> drop off in the bin nearby/pass to the USPS staff over the counter
In and out within a minute or two”
“Never had a problem in this location. Especially happy with the service after bad experience in San Leandro Manor PO. I spent less than a minute to confirm my new address.”
“I would like to say Thank you so much MARIA for helping me. 10 star for you. Maria was so accommodating, nice, kind, and she has a long patience. I have a big box to send overseas and she approached me and help me without any hesitation.
Honestly, there's a few staffs that should help me but they went all at the back of their office so Maria can take my big box which was not fair to MARIA. By the way God bless you Maria and to other staff who doesn't want to help me cause they don't want to carry the big box well then shame on you Guys.
To clarify, this is April 12 2025 transaction only so who ever work on that day then shame on them except MARIA who helped me to carry my big box.
I also want to thank you the other Lady she's quite Old Asian who borrowed me a trolley cause I can't lift heavy stuff. If you read this Thank you so much.”

“Have always had a good experience dropping off packages or picking up missed certified mail has this location. This is one post office where people actually answer the phone and also help patiently look up packages.
This isn't a regular post office so do not come here to buy, postage, envelopes, etc.”
“Great service here, very thorough, informative, and helpful.
I have never sent mail before… guy here was extremely helpful and didn’t make it complicated like I was worried it would be.”
