This may be the busiest post office in a small town. Super huge PO Box section (accessible 24…read morehours a day). Many people who live in Baja Norte keep PO Boxes here (this is literally about 10 minutes walk from the border). It is always busy, the parking lot can be a little cramped at times. Personnel are very nice and helpful but speak only limited English (some are fluent in both languages). It is much easier to just speak Spanish here but be forewarned if you don't speak Spanish may be a little harder to find someone to help you. The only thing that sucks is it doesn't have one of those machines where you can buy postage and prep your own package for mailing.

Incompetent place of business my mail carrier took it upon himself to put in system that I had…read moremoved with no forwarding address bcuz I was returning mail (which is what you're supposed to do legally)that I was receiving from previous persons that lived here n apparently according to my mail carrier George I was returning too much mail (well that's his job right?) so he decided on his own without looking at the names on mail to put in system that I had moved which I never did if he would've done his job correctly n actually looked and read the names on thmail I was sending back he would've seen it was NOT my name it was the previous persons that lived here so for 2 whole months March n April we have not received any of our mail it's all been sent back to sender stating we moved n left no forwarding address bcuz we've gotten calls n emails from our creditors, utilities ,financial institutions, retirement ,life insurances , etc... asking for us to update our mailing address ? I have put in 3 complaints to USPS online ,I have spoken to the Attorney General ,consumer affairs I've gone numerous times to the post office to speak to postmaster n to this day May 2nd I am still NOT receiving letters n according to them they have resolved the issue yet I'm still getting emails from my creditors to please update my address bcuz they are getting my mail returned to them I am at my wits end with the USPS they are incompetent n lack PR training! so I'm giving them a thumbs down n 0 star review

This post office is on Main Street in El Centro. It is a fairly large and modern building for the…read moresize of the town. I was surprised when we saw it. There is also a good sized parking lot plus some parking on the street. We came in at 11:00-the start of lunch rush on a Friday to weigh and get postage for our tax envelope. There was a short line but it moved pretty fast despite all the different requests. Including our complicated one since we wanted a return request but we were not mailing it today. But the woman was very nice and very helpful. And she figured out how to get it done for us. It's a post office. They are usually short handed for the number of people who come in during the rush at noon or after work. No one likes to wait in line and, luckily, we usually don't have to go here. I will even pay more to go to a UPS store to send things rather than a post office. However, we will come back to this one because it's quite nice.

I got impatient waiting for an appointment at one of the San Diego locations to complete my Global…read moreEntry interview. I had two choices- both about 2hours away. I chose this location over LAX preferring the open desert roads to OC/LA traffic. I'm glad I paid attention to the written directions to get to the office. There were signs, but it was still unclear in a few areas. The instructions provided in the confirmation were correct. From San Diego take I-8 East to CA-7 South to the Port of Entry. Exit on Carr Rd (International Border/Cars) then turn right at top of the bridge. Turn left before the last U.S. exit and proceed to the security booth. It's that left that feels really weird to make, but I trusted the directions and it took me there. The guy just needed my drivers license at the gate and told me where to park. I was in and out within about 15min. Have your paperwork ready to hand over when you check in- I needed employment/income information, rental agreement/lease, and passport. A pic, some fingerprints, and a few questions and I was on my way back to SD with an approved application. My appointment was at 9:20 and I was able to make it there and back to SD before noon.

The thing that points this straight to the Postman is he even left the part of the box that wasn't attached to the box anymore on my porch!! If this happened in shipping as always claimed he wouldn't have delivered the whole box in two pieces!! Seems like every time this guy has to come back to deliver something it's messed up, opened or destroyed! UPS deliverers 44 lbs of dog food and the bag or box is still in one piece! This is the same Postman that I had to sit in my driveway waiting for him to deliver mail so that I could receive a certified letter cause he doesn't ring the doorbell nor knock on the door just like when he delivered this opened box this morning... I have a Ring camera that shows everything, even the man walking across my landscape Every time he delivers mail!! Can't believe this guy still gets a paycheck!! He doesn't do his job and obviously he's looking through packages/mail for something, which use to be a felony in the states, but I guess it's fine cause it's the Postman... I ask anyone sending me anything to use UPS or FedEx because I don't trust our Postman, how messed up is that!! Can't trust that our mail will be delivered!!

I moved back here after a divorce because i have a daughter and thought family here would help. Im educated, friendly, outgoing, and this place has been so disappointing. There are no jobs. Im met with such hostility as a mexinan-american girl who doesnt speak spanish. so many mexi-cali residents take the jobs here from california residents even the low skill jobs or retail jobs. its so sad. People are so unfriendly. very toxic here. very small-town mentality of people dont want to know you if they didnt know you as a child.people dont want you to do better than them and you can feel the envy radiate off people.

@Monica- that's funny because I found it very easy to request an extension. I put my case number…read moredown, requested the extension, wrote down why I needed and signed it. Faxed it over and called back and BOOM. Approved. Very simple instructions. Maybe it was too easy for you to grasp or you must of been too busy with school be able to sign a request that you are providing to a court. You said their systems are outdated but you were able to keep up with it haha sorry that's too funny. Actually I was going to mail in my request but luckily I called and they gave me an option to fax it in to get to them faster. I feel you though that the traffic court didn't work around to your conveince but you do have to go by their policies. As far as customer service they aren't retail keep that in mind but I'm sure you were a total sweet heart on the phone with them as well right? How dare they treat you rudely because you didn't want to sign your request. Hope you were able to learn from the experience and follow directions next time.
