- KSKara SmithJan 31, 20241.0THIS PLACE IS FILTHY! Although Vincent may be kind to those he knows, he is not kind to all! This place needs a sweep and a mop. Are you kidding me?? Disgusting!
- RWRebecca WatfordSep 20, 20191.0What an unpleasant experience! I will never go in this post office again. The man working there was extremely rude. It is worth the time for me to go to another location - even though it is farther drive.
- TDTammie DelisleAug 19, 20195.0This sweet little post office is taken care of by one man who is genuine and helpful. I’m glad we have a little post office in Shell Beach for charm and convenience.
- GKGypsy KayserNov 18, 20141.0November 7, 2014 I had an awful experience at the Pismo Beach Post Office when I took in a package which had a pre-paid label on it. The clerk scanned my package and indicated our transaction was complete. I asked her for the Sales Receipt which includes tracking information. The Postal clerk said, "We don't do that." When I asked why Pismo Beach P.O. does not offer that service that all other U.S. Postal Service offices do, she obviously became annoyed and just kept repeating that "we don't do that." Later I called to let the Postmaster know of this opportunity for improvement. The supervisor who answered the phone, Loni, said he was busy and that she could help me. I told her what happened and she then said, as if lecturing a child, that carriers do not have the capability to issue a Sales Receipt. I repeated that I was calling about my visit to the P.O that same day. She obviously was not really listening to me. If the two female employees I dealt with are the norm at the Pismo P.O., there is a big problem there. Fortunately there are other Post Offices in the area. Too bad the P.O. does not have quality measures in place to follow-up on customer dissatisfaction.
