- MRMaryam RahimiNov 12, 20251.0I had very bad experience on postal service between 12:40 pm- 1:17 pm on Wednesday November 12th, 2025 on this address (1521 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA 94709). The old man is very rude,yelling at me for no reason, very very disrespectful and impolite. He is not listening to the customer concerns and questions. He is not nice and he is not patient with customer.

- BJBenjamin St. JohnJan 30, 20231.0This review relates to the usps service rather than this location. Shipping to Africa was to take 3-5 days but it’s been three weeks and it hasn’t arrived. Using the tracking number I saw it went to several locations in CA, then Chicago, then New York but it took days/weeks between each location. If it ever gets to the destination I’ll update this review.
