Wow! I have never been treated so poorly before. The person was behind the counter said he was closed after I waited 30
Minutes in line. He also coul t give a time when he would re- open. It was 2:00? So the 10 people waiting in line had no idea what to do! The man behind the counter just said someone will be here soon and when we asked how soon he said he did not know. I went around the corner and paid an extra $5.00 to send my package at the mailbox location on fruitvale ! The lady that works there is super helpful! And treats you like a human being .

I like this usps. Lines seem shorter and staff is friendly. No parking, which is probably why it’s less busy!

Very reliable and friendly post office, line moves quickly in the am and pm, a little slower around noon. Good selection of boxes and packing supplies.

Parking is very inconvenient, building is old and poorly lit, very few staff on-site which leads to long lines and long wait times
