- DSDonna S2 days ago1.0I think we all know that the state of the post office is dire. As a Santa Monica resident, I’ve run out of local post offices to drop off the two checks I mail each month. At both SM locations (7th Street & Wilshire Blvd) & the outpost at Brentwood Country Mart (their mail is picked up & sent to the main 7th St location), four of my checks never arrived in the past 6 months, nor returned to me. Disappeared. I’m now testing this location. I’ve given up on Google reviews cause I doubt anyone in USPS management sees them. Mail theft & fraud is rampant (internally as well, Google the Torrance employee) & the majority of their personnel are rude, lazy & unprofessional. Clearly there is no oversight, or accountability given union job protections. I suggest, as I did, you go on the federal website and report your issues to the Inspector’s office. Got a claim number & plan to follow up. Until we all take the next step, there is not going to be change. There’s a new Commissioner since October ‘25 who hails from FedEx (and second consecutive Trump donor). Let’s see if he makes any positive change.

- SISister IbieDec 9, 20253.0All was on time and people ready to help. Not very friendly or kind, but did the job. . The place is dirty and sad appearance. I can even get a mural artist to make this place at least nice for the people working here every day!! Bless them 🌟
- NGNataliia GonzalezDec 2, 20251.0I came to this USPS location today for my passport expedited appointment, and the experience was absolutely unacceptable. The employee handling passport services was extremely rude from the moment I walked in. Even after I showed her that I had an appointment for today, she insisted I “wasn’t on the list” and refused to even look further. Instead of offering help or basic customer service, she raised her voice at me, told me to leave, and completely dismissed me. This woman should not be working in a customer-facing position. Her attitude, hostility, and complete lack of professionalism were unacceptable. USPS needs to review her behavior and either retrain or replace her no customer deserves to be treated this way.
