I started my day later than…read moreplanned and expected to run into a long line, but to my surprise (and secret relief), there was only one person ahead of me. At the counter, the clerk was friendly and helpful. When I mentioned what was inside my package, he kindly added "Fragile" stickers to the box without hesitation, which I really appreciated. I prefer this location over the one on the west end, especially because the parking situation here is much easier and more convenient.

I was greeted warmly by Ms. Postal Worker (I really should ask names because these ladies deserve all the flowers) and when I asked about getting a money order, she let me know that they don't fill it out, I do, and would I like to borrow her pen? And it was a NICE pen too! Before you remind me that I go every single year and how did I not remember that I fill out the money order, just hush. Anyway, they continue to be friendly and helpful and I will continue to go there for every postal need I have.

It's always helpful to have more USPS locations around, and this one does the job but it's…read moredefinitely on the smaller and older side. They have the basics: a few mailing supplies and some generic greeting cards, but not much beyond that. The neighborhood is decent, but parking is tough. There's limited paid street parking, and otherwise you'll probably have to walk a bit. As expected, USPS is cheaper than the next door UPS and FedEx stores for basic mailing, but it's worth noting this location closes at 5 PM, which is standard for USPS. In contrast, UPS and FedEx next door are open until 6 PM on weekdays. Also, this location doesn't appear to offer mailboxes for rent, while FedEx next door does. Overall, a functional post office if you're in the area and don't need anything fancy but not the most convenient.

Looking for notary? This is your place to go!…read more Very friendly service if you're looking for a notary! The notary, Bobby, made sure that it was done right and when I had a document that he wasn't sure if notary would be accepted, he did what he could, wouldn't charge me for it so that it wouldn't be a paid notary that may not work. I appreciated that a lot from a local business and pretty much you made me have this place as my go to notary from now onwards because of the honest work they do. Getting documents notarized with a young kid is rough but what can you do when the kids if part of the reason a document needs to be notarized? Fear not, as Bobby was amazing - tried to engage my child playfully and even gave him some Pokémon cards just to keep him entertained while all the documents were worked on! Amazing!

Not only is this staying up on Yelp this is going to be forwarded to UPS directly. I paid for the service despite me knowing that it was a ridiculous charge and shows why your store continues to be an empty hole-in-the-wall with a most of your reviews being 1 or 2 star complaining about you, in particular. Guess this explains why you only get a paying customer as often as you get a good review for you here on Yelp, in your own words, "once in a while." The original review and response, for context: $4 to print a prepaid label. Terrible wifi so I couldn't even email them the label using their wifi. Why would I need to email the label to you in the first place unless you're not an official UPS Store? I didn't have to pay this fee at another location and a legit store would be able to scan the label from my phone to look it up and print it without charging me. Not coming back. Get you sh-- together, "UPS."

1 of 3 USPS similar reviews. This is not my usual SL USPS,…read morebut I was in the area and Googled the closest one to me at the time; what a fail. Why is there a USPS in the middle of nowhere?!?! Part of the reason I came was just to see if Google was wrong, lol. Quality/Quantity - Keep in mind I am grading on a curve... The low rating is due to the comparison with all the other Post Offices that I frequent... See other reviews; Reno (3 Stars) and Alameda (4 stars). The lobby is not open 24/7. I guess I am spoiled with my Alameda and Reno post offices. I made the mistake on the 1/20/25 (a holiday) of trying to drop off letters (5 inches worth; I know, due to my travels, I have not checked my mail for a long time) and a package in 3 SL post offices. Atmosphere - Decent size lobby, again too bad they were closed. No homeless here today, but I am imagining that is why they are closed during non business hours? The other two SL USPS that I went to today had homeless people. Plenty of parking since this is a hidden location... One way in and out. Well it is supposed to be... Service - 2, barely good enough. Not even any self service... Price - N/A, see their websites. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1971 (formed in Washington DC) with your $80B in revenue. Much controversy about your profitability or lack of it. This is an "independent" agency of the executive branch of our US government. You have an amazing history dating back to 1775, but I will not go into that here.
