Thomas helped me on Dec 29 and was great to work with. Even though there’s a new rule in place that doesn’t allow brand-new phones to be shipped from here to base (which is totally understandable), he handled the situation really well. He made me feel comfortable and at ease the entire time. Really appreciated his professionalism and calm demeanor.

Lady behind the counter today couldn’t answer one question. Lazy and had AirPods in the entire time while talking to me.

Visited this USPS location which is now our favorite in Oceanside! The minute we walked in Amber acknowledged us with an warm friendly smile and asked if we needed any help - oh boy did we! :-) Amber helped us with choosing the right priority ship box, packing tape label. Amazing service - thank you so much Amber!

They lost my birth certificate by delivering it to the wrong address and when I went to the office to help, I encountered the rudest people at the desk that provided no information

Not the friendliest place. Brought my service dog and because he didn’t have a vest we were denied. He had his collar and I had my papers. Not an accessible post office for persons and their service animals.
