My rural mail carrier works out of this office. A couple of years ago I decided to invest in a locking mailbox in an attempt to combat the rise in mail theft. Sadly it looks like it was a waste of money on my part. Not because someone broke into the mailbox, rather my mail carrier occasionally (once a week or so) does not push my mail all the way through the slot and leaves it hanging out of the box right alongside the road. You would think mail carriers would be hyper sensitive to mail theft and do everything possible to protect against it, apparently that's not the case. read more

United States Postal Service-USPS - This kind of thing happens way too often. - Post Offices Near Me - Turlock, California

See all

As far as post offices go this one has provided consistent friendly and fast service all 3 times I've visited indoors over the past several months. This is the same location that services the rural route ensuring the daily delivery of the mail to me which runs rather consistently. Parking is very limited here and there is streetside available too. I hope the postal service never goes away. We need it and some things should remain. In my humble opinion. read more

I just don't understand why it is so difficult to get our mail delivered. It has been YEARS that we have been dealing with these issues-since 2002. Our former neighbor moved to another part of Turlock and has no problem now. I know of NO ONE with this issue but us and I am ONE person with one car that is parked in the driveway! Our regular mail lady arbitrarily decides not to deliver our mail. She says that the box is "blocked". We live on a busy street in the middle of four schools and we cannot control strangers from parking in front of the house. This was something that made my mother a nervous wreck before she died. She was so concerned that she would miss an important piece of mail and it worried her terribly. She didn't even drive or own a car! I had the foolish notion that things would be better with open lines of communication between me and the mail lady. I was mistaken. My son went so far as to move the mailbox to accommodate her wishes. Even that wasn't good enough as I received a notice from the Post Office today saying that my box was blocked. What the heck? read more

Our mail lady has been harassing us by threatening to withhold our mail because we supposedly block the mailbox. We do not. We park so far away from the mailbox that we almost block our neighbor's driveway. Additionally, our street is VERY busy. How are we to control when strangers park in front of our house? After several threats to withhold our mail over the last 15 years, we finally got a notice from the post office today saying if we don't stop blocking our mailbox, our mail won't get delivered. Basically this means we can't park in front of our own house at all- even though we don't park in front of the mailbox. Excuse my language, but this is a bunch of bullshit. I can't wait for our grumpy old mail lady to retire. She harassed my grandmother for years, and now she's harassing us. read more

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Never a long wait. I go here rather than to a UPS store even though it's further from my home because the service is better (and less expensive). read more

I have been going to this post office for nineteen years. Friendly helpful staff who DO all speak English. When there is a high volume period a manager will "triage" the people in line so that a person with one simple transaction (picking up a package or buying stamps) will not clog the line or have to wait in line behind people with multiple transactions, which helps everyone. This is the best post office I have used in fifty years of living all over California. I am appalled that some people would leave one star comments after one bad experience, and blatantly dishonest and bigoted ones like "no one speaks English." read more

I've been to many post offices over the years and although there isn't anything special about this place the service is pretty quick, and the employees seem well trained and efficient. Free street parking is a plus. read more

This place is REALLY hit or miss: Pros: *On average, employees seem to be happy *Lines move fairly fast Cons: *the number is ALWAYS busy. I've been trying to call for month and it isn't happening. *my mail being delivered adequately doesn't appear to be a priority. My outgoing mail is left 80% of the time. Today, apparently, my box was completely skipped. When you run a business that primarily relies on shipping products in a timely manner, this is a huge setback. I can't make heads or tails of this place!! read more

Update. Have spoken with supervisor #3 now. Pretty much gave me the same runaround, final word saying that they can't help me, because they are not responsible for packages that they lose. Filing a Claim not available since it was a third party package. (Smart Label). Now I have to absorb the cost of a $400 item that the USPS staff either lost or stole!!!This is unacceptable. So frustrating. read more

How are we supposed to make an appointment to get our passports renewed if no one ever answers the phone? We shouldn't have to make an extra trip down there just to make an appointment. read more

Recently I went in and asked about a certain shipping option and the lady (angela) that was open was very rude and inconsiderate. She may have had a bad day but the way she belittled me and was so openly disrespectful about "how I should know already" I politely said, "I will wait for the next open window". The gentlemen I went to next was FANTASTIC. I would have given it 1 star if it were not for him. He gave me the look like "I know exactly what you are talking about" with my previous person worked with. Perhaps she is rude and belittling to people all the time, or perhaps it was a bad day. All I know is that she had an option of having some grace and showing some kindness but instead she chose to be just plain mean. read more

I sold something on Amazon and chose to send it myself as opposed to Amazon fulfillment. Woops! I have sent plenty of packages before and have never paid 16$ and some odd cents for a 1lb package. Usually I can ship it cheaper than a flat rate. So, I bring my box in, not tapped at the top but otherwise ready to go. I just need to fill out the address. When it is my turn I ask the lady for the cheapest rate vs what 2 day would cost. She immediately quotes the 2 day as being cheaper than the lowest rate (which according to the website, no it's not) because if I had to go with the cheapest she would have to charge me the tape used to close my box. Hah, what? So, if I bought two day the tape to seal my box was included... It was so bizarre. I take the two day. $13 for that, then I wanted the signature confirmation. I knew the price of that and it was no different than usual. In the end I profited $1 from my Amazon sale. I have just never had this issue before, it was so odd. On a minor note, the lady who was helping me would not stop talking about herself. About her closet, about aging, about her cousins-sisters-friend-of-friends cat. On another other note, this is the same post office that keeps losing my own orders. I am out of items for my hamster and incense, no big deal, but this is starting to add up. Plus, That many packages should not go missing overtime (3-5), especially if it is "delivered on days I am at home. Just super irritated with this place. read more

Fast .. (for a USPS). I like the external architecture of this place .. has a Moorish influenced design (well at least I think so... I could be wrong). I'd be interested to find out who the architect was. Got in and got out really quick. They're selling "Peanuts" inspired stamps right now, and we bought a whole bunch! read more

I have been calling the 555 E Main St. address my own for the last 16 years. I have grown to know the content of the character of the well trained and professional staff. They may not know it, and I have certainly never let them hear me say it, but they are part of a network of people and organizations that keep me connected to the rest of the world... and I put plenty of stock in that fact. Truth be told, I had been holding my tongue for many months, possibly years, about something I had been forced to look at nearly every time I went to the location (I was not forced as in classic "arm-twisting" kind of force.... but once you see a piece of trash somewhere it shouldn't be...or what looks like the beginnings of a giant train wreck - one is inclined to see if anything can possibly live through it....) and it's there, everybody sees it, but nobody has the nuts to do anything about it. I guess I had a hair up my nose and needed to bring it to the attention of a postal worker. I let her know that there was an offensive sticker on a US POSTAL SERVICE PROPERTY sign that I wanted to clean off, but did not want to be considered the defiler of the signage. I waited in line long enough one of the workers from behind the desk came out from behind to see about doing some spot-check, immediate work for a few of those in line. She got to me and I let her know that I was just reporting a bit of graphitti. She asked where and I tried verbalizing where, but eventually taking her to see it for herself. The next time I was checking my mail the sticker was gone and just like that, I realized a world in which I am no longer subjected to mindless,racist, anti-semitism for no real reason and with no real outcome in mind. I may stop by soon to wait in line just to tell them all know that I appreciate their help, and fully support my USPS and only wish there was something, anything, I could do to let them know how much they mean to me, personally? I have come to love, respect and most importantly Cheers to all, With Peace, Love & Understanding read more

I had a recent issue with USPS. I received a empty box in my mail, not a big one, just big enough for two steak knives. The ends were the type that get shoved deep in and can be difficult to pull out, plus the tape had been cut, but appeared old as if applied long ago. It was obivious to me someone had cut the tape, worked the ends open, removed the contents and closed the box. The tracking number isn't printed, its just the bar code type. I called USPS and all they wanted to know was the tracking number, stating the bar code meant nothing. I didn't have the number because I was not the sender. The sender sent this box out by the thousands (free steak knives) so I'm sure they won't have the individual tracking number and surely didn't insure every box. Bottom line, USPS said "no tracking number there's nothing that can be done, sorry". Just another area of thievery where it should not happen but does and the folks in charge say," there's nothing that can be done, sorry". read more

Not a single person that works here speaks English, or Spanish or any other common language of the Americas. I won't go here and I pulled my PO box from this location because of it. Can't do business here if I can't understand your staff! read more

Post office lost my package. I had ordered clothes, worth over 60$, never got it. When I TRIED to contact them, they talked to me as if I was at fault for even ordering anything. Package said it was delivered but I never got it. Post man didn't even remember who he gave it to but clearly remembered me. They didn't even attempt to help me. The same week (the day after I personally talked to the post man) I got mail that did not belong to anyone in my house. Basically my package is gone and there is nothing I can do about it. I am never ordering anything that uses USPS and am willing to pay extra from now on to have it delivered with a different service. read more

Fast for a post office! The staff are always very nice. The place is clean. Can't really ask for more with a local post office. Recommended.

My boyfriend and I ship things regularly (read: at least every other day on average) and have nothing but great things to say about our office! The staff is as efficient as they can be and are totally swamped with customers. Honestly, if I ever see a problem, it's because the customer is trying to send things in a manner that just isn't allowed. read more
