    I waited almost an hour in line just to drop off a package that took less than two minutes. Only two clerks were working the counter. Isaac did an amazing job — he was efficient, polite, and helped at least 10 customers quickly. Meanwhile, Eric spent an excessive amount of time flirting with a female customer, giving her unnecessary attention while the line went out the door. Completely disrespectful to everyone waiting and a poor example of how to manage the counter. Isaac deserves recognition — Eric needs better supervision.

    I never write reviews, like ever. I get really bad anxiety going to USPS anywhere because their employees tend to be rude. I can say the young man that helped me out today was very nice and welcoming. I’d definitely come back to the Downey location.

    Terrible experience! Very rude employee. I will get his name next time I see him. I thought I had booked an appointment for my wife and I’s passport for late in the afternoon, but I was mistaken and he instantly decided to mock me for being there at the “impossible time” and became a smart ass when I simply questioned if he was sure. My wife asked why he’s being rude and he changed his tone and demeanor, but the damage was done. I will escalate once I find out his name.
