- THTimothy HallmarkNov 9, 20251.0We built our home 28 years ago and for 28 years Postal Carriers routinely delivered mail to our mailbox and parcels to our front door. That all changed last month. Carriers will no longer leave their vehicles. They now place a call tag in the mailbox. This has happened three times just this past week. The parcels aren't available to be picked up until the following day, 2 days later if the call tag is received on a Saturday. The USPS has perfected inefficiency and indifference. This all comes on the heels of a significant postage rate increase.
- MMManessa McLaughlinNov 6, 20251.0Every time I get a package from Amazon that is supposed to be delivered through them if it has more than three items in it, they just mark it as undeliverable and I have to track it down. They literally refuse to walk it up to my door, and I live in a subdivision. Just yesterday, there was a package with 10 items in it from Amazon and instead of walking it up to my door, they marked it as couldn’t fit in the mailbox because the mailbox was full. The mailbox was empty. The box was just too big to fit in it and they refused to walk the few steps around the corner from the mailbox to put it on my porch. I’ve been here six months and this has happened at least five times. I have never had this issue any other place I’ve lived.
- RTRock TreeNov 3, 20255.0What an awesome place because of an awesome guy working there by the name of Jeddy B! We'd had a stressful day and we so needed help with our package and this guy was there with a big smile eager to help including a little tape that we sorely needed. Thank you Atascadero post office!
- DMDesmo MarcelOct 17, 20251.0According to the staff at the Atascadero location, the new district manager made it a policy that they do not have to deliver packages to driveways if they are 50 feet away from the mailbox. Regardless, if it is a road, not a driveway, and not private property. Just doing anything to get away from doing their job. Despite having a terminal illness, we have to go in to pick up packages every single time something is bigger than our mailbox.
- SVSheri VanOsdolOct 14, 20252.0USPS left this next to my mailbox rather than walking it up my driveway a few hours before a massive rainstorm (or during?). The bag was saturated and the box inside was also saturated by the time I realized it was there and brought it to the porch. Added a star for informed delivery that let me know it was out there.
