The address is deceiving. If starting on park ave there is a coffee shop with the same address. Cross park ave and Find the alley leading to a parking lot next to the pizza and shoe store. Follow the alley almost all the way to the next street. It's past the Japanese restaurant on your right. Once found my service was quick. I had a package to send back and got a tracking receipt. read more

Helpful, knowledgeable staff. Usually a short wait or no wait at all. Parking may be a challenge.

This is a hidden gem, which includes a parking lot. Wish I knew that before I found street parking, but they only had a tiny parking lot for 2 automobiles. Still good to know for the future reference. I came right before lunch and got lucky that only 1 customer was in line. The employee was nice enough to guide me on which form to fill out, because I was sending stuff to Switzerland. She helped me pick the best price for me, and process was quick. read more

While in Liverpool, UK I bought 7 books and mailed them home to Alameda, CA, USA. The clerk in Liverpool said it would take 3-4 weeks for me to receive them. They were delivered in 2 weeks but all I received was a notice of the delivery when I returned. I tried to pick up my package but it had already been returned to Liverpool. Why wasn't the box with books left at my door? Why was it sent back after only 4 days? How can I get my books? What is wrong with the Alameda Post Office? read more

I stopped in at this post office to mail a bill. I usually go to either the one on Webster Street (west end) or the main one at Southshore. This post office is somewhat a hidden gem, off the beaten paths of Park Street and Park Avenue. I lucked out as there was nobody in line to purchase stamps or send out boxes and packages. That was a good time to seize the opportunity to purchase my forever stamps. The two sheets I purchased were the Lunar New Year (Year of the Rat) and the Black Heritage (Gwen Ifill). They're sheets of stamps to add to my collection. I have to admit these forever stamps are getting costly ($11 for 20 stamps). Stamps were 41¢ each and a sheet cost $8.20 thirteen years ago. I don't know when I will stop collecting stamps, but it's a hobby. I like it when I don't have to wait long at the post office. I am in and out of there in less than five minutes, which is much better than waiting in line at the DMV. read more

I normally go to the Main post office at South Shore for any postal needs. I've passed by this little post office in the past and always wanted to go here the next time I needed postal services. So I finally stopped by to drop off a letter and pick up some Priority boxes. The post office is located in a passage way connecting Park St. and Park Ave. There are some parking spaces for postal customers with entrance from Park Ave. The postal office reminds me of one you would find in a rural area. There were no customers inside, which is quite rare for a post office. I did see one worker in the back. After dropping off my letter in the box and picking up my boxes, I was on my way. A nice little post office to consider if you're in the Park St. area. I will need to come back to utilize the window service for a better overall assessment. read more

I love the convenience of this little post office, located off of Park Street with a little parking lot in the heart of Alameda. I find myself going when I have to mail things home to Hawaii when we shop too much. It has one or two service windows and shipping supplies. I don't recall if they had any post office boxes. read more

Pretty rude all around. She wanted to close and I'm sure she would have closed if I hadn't had the forms filled out ahead of time. I'm sure she would have. I'd only been in there one minute and it was closing in 5 minutes. But I think most people in her place would have dealt with the two packages as fast as possible without even bringing up the time. I had 2 packages and 2 filled out forms. While I looked down at them to figure which went with which she was reaching out for them-- did she say 'come on, come on' or not? I guess that way she wouldn't be one minute late to her lunch behind the counter. At least she did send them. read more

Hours posted here are incorrect. Hours are random. They only staff 1 worker. Unreliable location.

I'm here right now and this place is always close earlier than theyre suppose to and it has happen a few times ! Get it together !

why staffs here always have rude service :( The one in south shore has good service improvement ... not here!!!

They're always kind, helpful & patient at this smaller post office. It's important to note that usually just one person works at this site, so if you have a ton of items or are in a hurry, you might want to go to the South Shore Station. Additionally, they close for lunch from 1:00-2:30 pm. read more

This is an updated review of a much longer rant review from over three years ago. This place hasn't changed one bit. I went in yesterday to send off a few small packages. I wrote a small, personal message on the outside of the packages. The lady takes the package, reads the entire message in front of me, and tells me that i'm not suppose to be writing on the outside of the package. I ask her why, and she literally says "Because some people don't like it. Some people can be offended by some words." I look at her with a blank stare, in shock by the stupidity, but she continues "sooo we'll have to cover this up." I say "no, just give back my packages please" and I swear on everything she says, " sorry, it's because of 9/11." Of course, I go to the main post office on Shoreline and mail the same packages out just fine. So just be forewarned everyone- if you bring in a package to this post office that has writing on it, you won't be able to send it out because of 9/11. Or someone might be offended. Or some time wasting cockamamie bullshit excuse... read more

I refuse to go in this post office. The angry old lady who works here is an angry control freak. I am surprised there are not more negative reviews. She is a legendary jerk in Alameda. Example 1: Customers who walk up to the counter while talking on cell phonea are irritating and disruptive. But I witnessed angry old lady yelling at someone who was listening to voicemails on their cell phone. This person was WAITING IN LINE quietly listening to voicemails, and she stopped what she was doing to point at the 'no cell phones' sign and start yelling at him. Example 2: I used a credit card to purchase, she refused to take my card because on the back of my card I wrote 'See ID' She pointed to the part of the card that says 'not valid without a signature' read more

This post office closes for an hour and a half, smack dab in the middle of the day, which is typically when I'm running work errands and need their services. On the few occasions I've managed to find them open, I've noticed that their rates are much higher than other post offices in Alameda and with less shipping options. Basically what I'm trying to say is that this post office sucks. read more

Not that the post office would ever read this or even care, but I have been coming here more often to mail items and the experience has been horrendous. I get the lines are going to be there at times and that workers are unfriendly, but the thing that made me upset was the inconsistency of closing times for lunch. If it is 1-2:30 PM, why do you post a sign that says be back at 2:45 PM. It's only 15 minutes, but time is a valuable thing. I will be back because I have no other choice. read more

Negative stars if I could!! Horrible that I wasted my gas, time and energy coming here. Sign says opens at 11 and it's noon and the doors are still locked. I'm irate!! read more

US Post Office - Almost noon and they're still not open. I came all the way over here for nothing. Horrible horrible business. - Post Offices Near Me - Alameda, California

Absolutely loathe having to go to this location because the lead female employee is rude and curt in her manner of treating everyone. She's also super particular about everything. There are no cellphone signs everywhere and today stopped by to mail four packages. The female employee was on a personal phone call during the whole time we interacted. She is truly the most unprofessional postal worker ever. read more

Decided to walk here today and found out that they close lunch which happens to be an 1hr and 15min lunch. Last time I checked government offices don't close for lunch! How hard is it to do what every other business does and stagger the lunch breaks! And oh who knows not go for that long. read more

Service at this post office is awful. Postal worker is rude and bitchy. Even though this place is closer to my work place, I go to the one at south shore to avoid dealing with these people. read more

This place is hard to find --- the location dot on google maps is not accurate. It's one entire street off. It's hidden, and they're closed from 1-2.30!!! For lunch! Hour and a half?! read more

Are you kidding me? What a waste of my tax money. I'm already 20 minutes in line and the postal worker is on the phone. Absolutely no movement. There is a sign that states "no cell phones" and there she is talking away not helping anyone. Why am I paying for her salary? read more

This post office gets gold stars. It's easy to get in here, easy to park, easy to send packages, and the people are really nice. Like some others mentioned, it's actually air conditioned, which rocks on a really hot day. And that's all I have to say about that. read more

I have to say I was amazed today. At 3:30 pm, there was no line. Every time I've been here there has always been a line of few people. This is a tiny post office, and they generally only have one and at most 2 people working. You know your USPS service where they are rather grumpy and not so nice to the customers? Well, not today. I had to ship 3 things, 2 priority and 1 express, and the person even gave me a tip to save $3 on express mail shipping and re-packaged it for me. Never had this level of service at USPS before, and I'll definitely go back again. read more

I like this small out post of a post office. Yes, theyre closed for 1 1/2hr from 1pm- 2:30pm-ish and parking can be tricky but still I like it. Life in a small town sometimes ya gotta be patient and flexible.. read more
