- SMSarah MarieJul 28, 20253.0Always friendly, but not really helpful. Time and time again we get the run around, wrong information or no information at all. And worse still, is being told over and over again to go to the Westminster location if we want better results/service, only to get worse results/service there. The 3 stars are for the politeness but overall, it could be better. Maybe we just need to accept the limitations and low expectations that has become the USPS.
- ESEvan SchechterJul 7, 20245.0Yes, they do close for lunch from 12:30-1:30 and yes, that should be posted on this page in big block letters! People should be aware that this is a small local branch in Old Town, so yes, there is typically only one person at the counter (occasionally a worker in back). There’s a big main branch less than two miles up Seal Beach Blvd if you’re worried about lines during the holidays (or you’re like, driving). Otherwise for those of us who are just walking over to mail a package, access a box, or send something certified mail, this place is friendly, helpful, quick, and super convenient.
- JPJ PageJul 2, 20245.0Usually fast Note: lunch hour is 12:30-1:30 (they’re closed during this time)
- FWFingal WillsMar 31, 20231.0If you ever need proof what's wrong with the US Government, visit the Seal Beach post office. The absolute worst service and operation imaginable. It would serve the community better to shut it down then have people frustrated.
