- RNRohit NayakOct 15, 20255.0Great experience Very helpful staff
- HHHannahJul 28, 20254.0I don’t know why they won’t save the hours on here—it is so annoying to look it up over and over. I uploaded it yesterday for counter hours but someone deleted them so I am reposting it like this. I have only had one issue where they accidentally gave one of my packages to someone else. They were able to track that person and they were nice enough to give it back. It is kind of weird, they used to have a phone number for the location, but they took that down too. It makes me wonder who doesn’t want to deal with the extra customer service lol! Can’t blame them, but it is just unusual compared to the other post offices in the area. I’ve been to San Bruno, San Mateo, the Geary post, Burlingame, etc, and this is the only one that keeps deleting info you can find online so it’s inconvenient when you need to check if you’re going to make it on time using Google maps. Like most usps-they are closed holidays and Sundays.
- MYMieko YehJul 24, 20254.0So glad this location has reopened! It looks great inside. The tall guy with shaved head at the counter was pleasant and friendly. He said they reopened last year (2024).
- LWLe WinJul 3, 20251.0Had a return box - overall staff was nonchalant and very rude. Did not feel welcome one bit
- YYYuequn YuFeb 22, 20251.0This woman seems like her first day at work and doesn’t know anything
