I had a package with just two bottles of vitamins shipped from here to OC, and it was stolen right before it even made it to the Sacramento center (which is apparently just the first stop). You might want to avoid sending anything valuable from this location.

I went looking for a package that’s been lost and they had no answers for me and were also rude to me about it.

Old guy with beard and white hair at front desk is probably the worst customer service representative I’ve ever dealt with couldn’t even let me talk or get a work out without cutting me off then told me I can’t do a hold mail when it is my right to do a hold mail. Worst post office ever. Guy just seemed like he wanted to ruin everybodies day

Awful when one is picking up/dropping off. Unbelievable traffic (vehichles) and near collisions.
That being noted, there are also vagrants who reside inside during the wee hours...should you decide to pick up your PO box late nights. Not only that, but I've witnessed the doors being locked by them with their very own make shift 'lock'
Very disheartening when a PO box costs $180.00 per year.😢
