- MLMelissa LynnNov 23, 20245.0Always fast and efficient. Just don't be that jerk who shows up 5 min before closing with an armful of packages. No lines in the middle of the day. They're occasionally understaffed but that's not their fault. USPS is such a valuable service!
- IGIvana GuphovMay 2, 20213.0Friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient, but can be crowded. We drive right past the Berkeley PO to go to this one in Albany instead; it's that much better.
- LYLynn YarrisJul 24, 20203.0Love our local PO and its service but the listed office hours are meaningless. Often during "open" hours, the PO is not staffed and there are no signs to indicate when service will resume. North Berkeley PO same thing. You can try calling first but good luck getting an answer.
