- MMMalcolmSep 16, 20255.0I had a plan!
- RSRalph StrahmJun 20, 20255.0Fred helped me with the purchase of stamps today. He was friendly, and is an asset to the Holtville Post Office.
- GGG GDec 5, 20221.0This is about the Holtville, CA 92250 post office. An employee named Barbara has always been rude to all customers. Today, I took an 8 1'2" x 11" envelope in to be mailed. It already had postage on it from being mailed to me, (I was reusing the envelope.) She took it from me to mail it, having seen the postage. I stopped her and told her that I needed to pay for the postage as the postage stamp on there had already been used. She then said that she would have to charge the 3 sheets of paper in the envelope as a small package at the rate of $4.80 because it was not oriented horizontally. Keep in mind that the original postage, which had contained 15 pages and was sent on 9/15/22 had a postage stamp of $.93. She told me that $4.80 was the rate and there was nothing to be done about it. This is the same woman who earlier this year, when I took my property tax payment into the Holtville post office at 1:30 pm on 4/10/22, refused to put a postage park on my envelope for 4/10/22 because she said the mail had already left for the day and that would be fraud. I explained that I had it to the post office by 4/10 which is the only requirement, but she refused to stamp it. She is rude, does not follow the rules and gives the post office a very bad reputation.
