I recently visited my local United States Post Office near downtown Covina for the first time, and I was actually kind of excited about it. The building itself has a really charming, old-school feel to it. It's not modern or flashy, but in a good way. It genuinely feels like stepping into a little piece of the past, which I appreciated. They open at 8:30 a.m., and while there was a short wait and a line, that part was understandable given the holiday season and the fact that many transactions understandably take time. What really stood out was the young Latino gentleman with glasses working the counter. I didn't catch his name, but he was incredibly efficient, patient, and had a genuinely good attitude. As someone who doesn't regularly use the post office and needed to send certified mail, I definitely needed a bit of guidance, and he handled that smoothly. You could clearly tell the difference between customers who come in regularly and people like me who needed some direction, and he treated everyone with the same level of respect. He honestly deserves five stars on his own. That said, the overall experience lands at four stars for me. I was a bit surprised by the cost of certified mail, which came out to around $11, and I'm not sure if that's standard or holiday pricing. I also noticed he was on his phone calling the Covina main office, which made me wonder if he was trying to get backup. During the holiday rush, having only one worker feels like a lot to put on one person and can slow things down for customers. I'll absolutely be back since this is my local post office, and I'd happily update my review if staffing improves. Overall, it was a solid first experience, and that employee truly carried it with professionalism and a great attitude. read more

See all

This post office is rarely crowded which makes it a great location to handle all of US Mail items. Employees appear to always be happy to serve, friendly and very professional. The office is always fully stocked with anything you can possibly need to take care of your business. Parking is avail in a small private lot and/or on the street read more

US Post Office - Post Offices Near Me - Covina, California

William was incredibly helpful and friendly but unfortunately the wait seemed excessive in the line here. There was only 1 person assisting a line of 10-12 customers until William came to help out as well. The post office is clean, staff are very friendly just understaffed. Would definitely recommend this location and will bump up my review in the future if they can get us in and out faster! read more

Customer service, outstanding very friendly very helpful. I love that they Have so many different forever stamp read more

As with any USPS, the place is for posting, a service that requires person to person interaction. Some people still think they are the only ones in line, and their business is more urgent than anyone else's. It happens everywhere, at this time of year, the "true-self" makes an appearance, sometimes, at the post office. Thankfully, staff is unflustered. "The mail must go through" is the bottom line. People need to be reminded that a little courtesy goes a long way. My stuff got mailed, many of us observers were entertained, patience was tested, audience deserved high praise for cool-keeping. read more

I've visited this USPS a few times and the service is always fast and efficient. The area is well kept (clean) and the staff is always very kind and accommodating! read more

Despite the fact that capitalists & elected officials want to privatize the service so they can profit off of it instead of the working class having it as a service to meet our needs, the workers here fight back and are truly amazing! Always great connections with them. The real answer for the working class is first, we have to get rid of the totally unreasonable and unprecedented mandate that the postal service pre-fund health benefits nearly a century in advance. This requirement was intentionally imposed in 2006 to slowly bleed the system of the funds it needs. Then, we can find ways to direct more resources to the postal service so that services can be expanded and improved. One key way to do this is to make corporations who rely on USPS as part of their business model pay their fair share. Amazon, for instance, maximizes their profits by taking advantage of the low-cost services offered by the postal service -they can certainly afford to pay more. And by expanding USPS rather than turning it over to private corporations, we will create badly-needed, union jobs that pay a wage that can sustain a family. read more

Pretty helpful staff and whenever I come by (mostly weekdays) the lines are short. Recommended!

I'm coming back because Steven provides the best customer service !! Always smiling , good attitude, never moody. Somebody give this guy a raise. read more

first time at this post office location on the way to the gym! parking is tuff however it's cute; clean and i lov the covina area here ~

It's a very antique prehistoric relic of a aging dinosaur of a building that was probably built before Abraham Lincoln. This place has been here for decades, if not the turn of the century and has a very old look to it. The line was a little long, but in less then 10 minutes, these efficient workers took care of the lines. This was on a Friday before they closed, Wow...amazing!!! I've noticed that the workers are always fast, efficient and very courteous with everyone that they come into contact with. I'm impressed. read more

Brandi was nice and handled what I needed quickly and efficiently. Long line but to be expected at the post office.

This USPS office has the nicest staff, I always come here even there are closer branches to where I live. Highly recommend!

What happened to the mail must go through??? When I lived in Victorville my husband's retirement check every month at least 4 days early. Now that I live in covina and the check is mailed from covina I'm lucky if I get it a week late! This absolutely ridiculous! When I went in to complain about thet were rude and let me it wasn't thier problem! ...maybe they would like to pay my late charges??? You you can't do the job of getting my mail 4 miles down the road get somebody who can!! Worst mail delivery ever!!! read more

I was expecting a package to be delivered today, when I saw the mailman putting the mail in my mailbox I literally was at my front door waiting... then he left without delivering my package.. I didn't think nothing at that time until I got an alert with my package delivery update "Not able to deliver package, "Could not access delivery location".. read more

I sent a certified letter from Covina to Covina, same city, on the 21st of this January. USPS tracking tells me the letter was sent to Santa Ana and is late! No wonder! Why send a letter to city an hour away for processing if the destination is literally less than 15 minutes away? Hell, City of Industry central hub is even closer than Santa Ana. Morons! Next time I'll use Fed Ex! read more

The staff at USPS in Covina, are extremely helpful. They are prompt, courteous, professional, and equally important; a Team! They go out of their way to help customers while in line. read more

Package Theft *** I have had 2 separate packages go "missing" after shipping from this post office. There is an internal thief and this post office and the Covina Post Master Ernie Rivera seem to care less about finding or recovering missing packages. Do Not Mail Your Packages Here!!!! I had tracking & insurance on my package, but still somewhere along the lines an internal thief is intercepting. I've filed a complaint with the Postal Inspector. read more

I had never been to this post office since it is not close to my home but I found it on Yelp since I was in that area. The staff is very polite and nice. It is a small office but it has everything you need. I will definitely be going back read more

Always so pleasant!! Very customer service and have been for years! Thank you all, ShaunaT

Service is not nice. Once I went to ship an item to an Amazon customer but the guy over there charged me $13.45 for an item that is usually shipped for $3.99. In addition, they always make mistakes when they give you the change. read more

Like people who love to physically be able to go into a library to pick out and actually read a hard-back book. I love physically being able to enter the covina post office to mail out my packages. I like making use of this dying government agency and you should too. Here you can buy stamps, register to vote, and fill out a change of address book. This particular location is very old and has a very unique smell to it. I also appreciate the fact this post office is within walking distance of my favorite Starbucks location. I must say, the workers here are all very pleasant and none of them fit the term of "going postal". There is only two agents working at a time, so be prepared to form a single file line and wait patiently. If you are in the area and need to mail out something, come and check out the one of a kind smell for yourself, you will not be disappointed. read more

No one is there at 2 pm in the afternoon except there is another poor homeless man sitting on the steps as you walk in. The clerk is on his cell phone( clerk number 8, according to the USPS sales receipt, and he doesn't have a name tag). The young man obviously didn't have customer service training. No greeting except " next" and no eye contact. Didn't tell me about tracking my two packages or even if I wanted them to arrive quicker at a different rate. Didn't say thanks or you're welcome, or even the usual new generation's response of " no problem," when I pointedly said thank you to him. This is why USPS is going bankrupt, because of horrible customer service like this. read more

Holiday rush has the line snake like wrapped around the building leading to the outside stairs. Waited in line for over 20 mins to drop off a prepaid package. Not knowing that I can just cut in front of everyone and leave it at the counter. Ashley the lady who helped me had no type of customer service. No emotion. No greeting. She looks like she hates her job. Every other postal worker I've encountered there is cheerful. Respectful and approachable. Ashley was none. I know its 202 and Covid sucks but don't be one of those people who work somewhere hating life and those who come in. read more

Yolonda was so rude and didn't state that it would be a charge for tape to ship, I will definitely be calling corporate.

I saw this letter carrier and saw what a SUPER FAST AND HARD WORKER HE IS I just had to take the time to write this positive review. I wish he would be our regular letter carrier because he is a very fast and focused carrier. ...his name is Marcos. Keep up the great work!!!! Extremely pleased. read more

this post office is terrible, mail service is non existence, they never answer the phone, too bad we have no other choices.

This is the rudest post office I have ever been to. Went in for passport services. Mind you the website says walkins are from 9-3:45 pm. There is nothing on the website that says you have to sign up on a paper or make an appointment. I had gone the week before to get the application and asked the Asian lady working there (who is very rude) what I needed. She never mentioned that there was a sign up sheet. So I went today and my husband took time off as well to be able to get my daughter's passport but we were turned away since we didn't sign up on the sheet. First of all what sheet are they talking about no where in the Damn post office is there a sign or anything that explains that. read more

The customer service here is A plus! Always very kind and very helpful! I've on a couple occasions I've needed a package a bit earlier then delivery time due to personal reason and they've been mote then happy to help! The supervisor their is the best. I forgot his name but he helped me over the phone on November 14th at about 8:30! Thank you sir! read more

Very good service. The gentleman behind the counter was very helpful in helping me send out a package to Afghanistan (military care package) and was very courteous the whole time. I wish i got his name(clerk 27 on my recipe if that means anything) but I will be sending packages out from this location from now on. Was very clear with rates and delivery. Office was clean and organized and everyone was approachable ready to serve customers. Zero attitude! Thank you for helping me send my care package to my GF! read more

I have a post office box here. Love the staff, they are all great! They are friendly always saying "Hi" when I come in to get my mail during business hours. read more

Long lines, 40 minutes to ship one package. Two cashiers open. Manager hanging out doing nothing.

Worst post office in The Valley. I would gladly drive further to any other one where they treat customers with more respect and better customer service. They are not only extremely rude but huge slots... taking almost 15 minutes to process and ship out 1 small package. read more

The workers here suck and don't know what they are talking about! I usually go to the post office near my house which is on Azusa Ave and I send gifts back to my country all the time, today I came to this one and do all my usual, I did the exact thing I always do with the other post office and they told me they can not sent out the package for me, I mean wtf really? so they are saying that the other post office is wrong? I thought you guys run under the same system? I guess not cause the way I've been doing it for the past 2 years always got my packages to where they needed to go, never failed..so screw you and your stupid knowledge I will not be coming back to this one ever again! read more

I'm not very impressed with this post office. There aren't enough employees working at the same time, which means you have to wait in line for a very long time. My biggest problem with this place is that it is not open on Saturdays. I work long hours and get home very late. I don't have time during the week to go to the post office to retrieve a certified letter. I took a day off and when I did, I waited forever in line. The staff are professional and helpful. read more

We don't receive our mail until about 1pm when we used to get it at 10:30am. Our mail lady takes her sweet time getting to the box then back to her vehicle. Honestly looks like she is crawling. She constantly gives us the wrong mail and my neighbors the wrong mail as well. We are EXTREMELY irritated with this service. The lady we had before was phenomenal. The current one is very lazy and does NOT give good service. I will be coming into the building soon to ask to file a complaint. read more

This is located at downtown Covina area. This is close to the CitiBank I visited last week, so it has a old town feeling to it. There were no lines, and I was immediately helped. I came here to FINALLY mail my passport application! The passport website suggested I use some kind of traceable delivery method like USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation. The lady helping me immediately told me that it would be expensive and if I would considered something cheaper like Certified Mail. Who wouldn't want to spend less on anything?! The priority mail with delivery confirmation would've cost me about $13-$14, while certified mail cost me just a little over $4. #WINNING! read more

$18.30 for Express mail. Just dropped off and will arrive at its destination by noon tomorrow. Little parking, but theres people always coming and going that you don't have to wait long for a parking spot. I didnt see any passport service done here either. read more

This place is in an old part of town, so the surroundings are a bit run down. I had a big package to deliver internationally, so I needed to use USPS since they offer the best rates. I have had bad experiences waiting in long lines just to be told I need to fill out some additional paperwork, but my experience here was very good. It seems that all the people who work here try to do good job and get people in and out so there's barely a line. William was very helpful and processed my request immediately. The workers here are all really fast and know what they are doing! read more

great service, the staff here is nice and friendly. they also work fast. my husband and i love to come here.
