- JCJared CorbettOct 31, 20254.0employees here are super fast and efficient! Usually one person working alone at the front and doing an incredible job all things considered. I wish USPS had the resources to put some more cash into this location so there could be two people working there and eliminate the mid-day closure, but that's a policy problem and not on the employees.
- FPFang ParkSep 10, 20251.0Absolutely terrible service. I went in to mail a package with a long-time-to-fill customs form, only to find out after I was done that a specific item couldn't be shipped. The clerk, Lydia, should have informed me of this before I wasted all that time. To make matters worse, she scolded me for taking a picture of my package, despite the fact that it had no postage and there was nothing to suggest I couldn't take a photo. Her attitude was completely unprofessional and unhelpful. There's no reason for a postal employee to treat a customer this way.
- PLPatrick LynchJul 17, 20251.0Employees don’t give a shoot. Terrible service on a regular basis. I try to avoid this awful post office
- JWJeri WoodJun 3, 20255.0I totally agree with others this post office provides everything we need ! All employees are intelligent, seems that area Alway has an internet issue! As most of Redwood City in that area! The workers never give up!! I am grateful to have them in my area
