I went to the Kentfield PO today with a package and printed return label, which printed a bit large. I started at the Ross PO and had a negative experience so visited Kentfield PO since I had previous good interactions.
Again today I had a very positive experience —they were able to fit the label into a sleeve so it was secure. They took the initiative to find a solution! Thank you!

The woman in charge there (2020) who's name is Nicole is extremely helpful. She goes above and beyond. Lovely little post office.

Never been to such an inept place. 3rd day trying to get a post office box that I registered for online--so should have been quick and easy. Staff claim they're too busy. Say one thing then claim they never said it. Say they'll call--then don't. Their voice mail is totally screwed up, so can't get through by phone. Recommendation: If you need a p.o. box, get it somewhere else.
