- BSBig SurreptitiousJul 29, 20255.0To Lex, though she or he will likely never read this: the parking lot attendant of which you speak is not employed by or associated with the Big Sur Post Office or USPS. That said, I'm apologize for the way he treated you. There is no excuse for such behavior.
- PDP DoeJun 2, 20255.0I have had a P.O. Box at the Big Sur Post Office for over 18 years. Postmaster Andrew and his assistant Andy are a "treasure" and among the nicest people you will ever meet. This post office has enormous and unusual challenges with the road conditions and road closures on Highway 1. Somehow, Andrew has managed to "get the job done" -- often going so much out of his way to serve the travelling public and the residents of Big Sur. Andrew and Andy are very fine people and I cannot overstate their value to the community.
- LLLexMar 7, 20251.0It seems my review has been removed. November 2022 I was driving slowly through the parking lot and an old man came out and started screaming at me calling me stupid and that I couldn't park there. I wasn't parked and there used to be lots of reviews of people experiencing the same thing. Very rude people
- BTBillie Bo (TartWater)Mar 17, 20215.0Friendly and knowledgeable postal staff. Excellent PO box hours.
