John the server simply throws, literally throws, your package into the container. It’s a book and he throws it, no care for any damage. What a lazy slob!!

Over the past few months I’ve been having more and more packages arrive to the fair oaks post office (I live in fair oaks), and they are then redirected to either Elk Grove, Carmichael, or Redding. I called yesterday about a package that arrived here at the same time as a few of my other packages and the employee was super lazy and told me it never arrived even though I know it did cause it was scanned in at the same time my other items were. Well now that package is sitting in Redding. This is uncalled for and the fact it’s happening weekly now is not okay.

Friendly and efficient staff. The line is usually short. Usually before 2 o'clock is the best time to go.

Hit or miss with customer service, but I think that's expected similar to the DMV
