- RMRobert MallettSep 16, 20255.0No line very professional and curious
- RMRaiz M.Aug 30, 20251.0Where is the number to a local post office???
- OBOpen BookAug 29, 20251.0Post office is extorting money from their customers with postage due notices. Apparently books do not qualify as media mail in Santa Maria. They open the package admit it is a book but still charge postage due.
- LRLinda RamirezAug 21, 20251.0They keep sending our mail to the wrong addresses, and it is important mail, such as letters from the superior court, supplies I need for my job, financial aide reimbursements. And they deliver other people’s mail to our house too. Also, if you need to renew your passport and can do it online, I recommend you do that. I made the mistake of thinking I would get better customer service and assistance in person. You are better off dealing with the website. It would have saved me time and frustration. I always have to ground myself after leaving this place, so much bad energy in there. If you need to go in person, make sure you eat before or take a snack because you will be there for a while….
- BBBlazeNPeachJul 31, 20251.0Waited in line for over 20 minutes and the line did not move at all. Only two cashiers who work at a snails pace. Do not go during the day. Worst experience I've had anywhere. Would give it zero stars if I could. Edit. I got a letter today saying that they tried delivering my package and they couldn't. Mind you, we have camera's around my house and not once did we see anyone from usps attempt to deliver a thing. Oh, and the letter had been dated last week but only arrived on the last day available for pick up. I don't know what happened but this has been a terrible experience all around. Will never use usps for anything from this point forward. Bunch of lazy, angry, and intolerable workers from the office to the delivery drivers.
