Times say lobby is open until 8pm yet it's 7:20pm & ALL doors are locked & chained

Times say lobby is open until 8pm yet it's 7:20pm & ALL doors are locked & chained . I specifically came here to use the self service kiosk machine and drove half an hour only for it to be chained shut at 7:20 PM when the doors say lobby is open till 8 PM and USPS self service kiosk online says it's open till 8 PM.

I've been trying to resolve my case for over a month now, going back and forth with USPS employees and customer service, reopening a new service request whenever they close mine without resolution. Every time I believe I'll receive some resolution, nothing happens or service reps will give me the go-around. The employee(s) who make the follow up calls with customers from this location needs to be retrained or replaced. I didn't get her name but she was not helpful despite me being polite and trying to explain my situation for the nth time. She just stated the USPS damaged mail policies that I've heard countless times by now and didn't know what to do. Did not apologize and just hung up after stating she'll need to speak with some people (which I do not believe for a second. She just wanted me off the phone). All I need is some email/documentation (LITERALLY ANY OFFICIAL LETTER OF SOME KIND) about some items being damaged upon delivery. I have a hard time finding time to go to the post office because of work and they will not accommodate a simple request. I've said countless times, I'm not looking to file a claim through USPS but rather with my vendor, as this is an international parcel. In order to receive compensation, I'm attempting to go through the vendor as that's where I purchased insurance from (and USPS claims there's no insurance on the package on their end so they won't be able to do anything anyway). This postal office and USPS as a whole does not/cannot seem to comprehend this nor will they provide me the thing I need. It's such a simple request and I'm floored that this is still going on for a month and I STILL haven't gotten resolution. Attached photos of unopened parcel having arrived smashed. USPS claims they cannot prove that it was damaged before arriving at my doorstep.

Cards and shipping supplies.

Usual Federal facility. Ample parking. Usually 4-5-6 customers, line moves along relatively fast. They sell box supplies and basic shipping stuff. Greeting cards are available to your favorite buddy. They must have had problems at this location to install bulletproof glass to protect federal employees. Right on Redondo Beach Blvd! Across from Bank of America.

Clean and organized dock area

See all

Lazy idiots only employed here! They avoid any type of work. Asked to get a pre-paid item scanned. They refused.

Long lines, it bit dirty. Staff was a little rude, but maybe they were having a bad day/?

The worst post office I've ever encountered, and no outside mail boxes. What a sad, pathetic commentary on the current state of the USPS.

Is anyone else having issues with the Gardena USPS with packages being marked as "delivered" online but the packages actually are not delivered?

Have you had any luck on finding a solution? I moved to Gardena last year and some my packages and mail say they are delivered but are actually not. My bank charged me a fee for my statements being sent back. Package tracking showing Its delivered…

Despite the low rating here on Yelp, I've always had a great experience coming here. The staff have…read morealways been friendly and willing to answer any questions I've had. It's also mostly empty when I arrive. If there is a line it normally moves fast. There's a huge parking lot in front of the building, and if you drive too fast you'll probably miss the entrance. I think this post office is better than the one on Gardena Blvd - That one always has a line, it can be difficult to find parking, and wait times are normally low.

I've been to this post office three times now, and unfortunately two out of the three experiences…read morehave been unpleasant. The main issue is not the process itself, it is the way customers are spoken to. I understand that employees are not expected to be overly cheerful, but there is a difference between being neutral and being condescending. On my first visit, I picked up an envelope that ended up being out of the price range I needed. When I went to put it back exactly where I found it, the employee told me in a rude tone, "that is not where you found that." It absolutely was, and I had placed it back correctly. It felt unnecessary and dismissive. During that same visit, I was filling out an envelope and asked a simple question about labeling. Instead of being helpful, I was told in a rude tone that I "could have just filled out the back." I am not familiar with USPS processes. I usually go to UPS where they handle labeling, so I was just asking for guidance. Today's visit was similar. There was no greeting, and I was told my package could not be sent as it was and that I needed a different envelope, again in a blunt and unpleasant tone. I made a small mistake on the address and mentioned I would pay for the envelope I had to redo. The response I got was, "why did you fill it out after you already stuffed it," which was not even what happened. Regardless, comments like that feel unnecessary and judgmental. For context, I am nine months pregnant and just trying to get through simple errands. I am not expecting over the top friendliness, but basic kindness and respect go a long way, especially when someone is unfamiliar with the process and simply asking for help. I will likely have to continue using this location, but I really hope there is some improvement in how customers are treated. A more respectful tone would make a big difference.

I've visited the Lawdale Post Office twice in 5 years. First to obtain a passport and now for a…read morecorrection (life changing event). Both times I've left beyond satisfied. The employees (then and now) are very helpful and as long as I was able to provide the proper documents (as requested for passports), the employees helped me gather everything and properly package it all in envelope properly. Mary Jo first helped me and explained the process, succinctly. She was very knowledgeable on what is needed and what can be submitted. After I gathered what I needed roughly 5 min later, Wendy helped me make the proper copies, got a money order (yes, they do those too!), and she made sure nothing could be misplaced when the agency recieved the documents. I can't thank the employees (especially Wendy and Mary Jo today) enough at this location for all the assistance. I have already shared this location with my friends or anyone dreading the passport process.

Oh what joy it always is to visit any public building nowadays. The Post Office is no exception…read moreand this one is particularly grim. First of all the parking lot is tiny for only 6 cars! Crazy small. And on a busy street so street parking is a bad idea. Second, it is tiny, with only 2 out of 4 windows staffed, the wait is extra long here as they don't have automatic machines for mailing like so many other PO's nowadays. Now, the redeeming factor is the clerks are polite. But there are not enough of them. Someone in lobby to help people prep for the window would be smart. I waited behind 11 people on a normal weekday at 10:30am for some stamps! Ugh. I should have ordered them online and avoided this. TL/dr: too small, understaffed, too busy

Hello there , My name is Mihaela Hrisțodor . I saw I had a miss call from you and VM . You ask me…read moreto come pick up my package . Well...I was there and regardless that EVERYWHERE you advertise your hours : M-F 9am -5 pm , at 9 am when I was there ? A girl start yelling at me, from inside through the window, telling me you guys open at 11. I faxed you attaching my maps history showing the time and the fact that I was there . Here is the issue : my husband went late to work that day to give me a ride there . I can't ask him to take a day off ( as at 11 am , with the trip there and back , his work day is almost gone !) to give me a ride mam'! AGAIN! We have bills to pay. So for this reason and not only , I also mentioned that in the fax I sent: please (!!!!) mail that package to my address : 2023 S Corning St. , Apt. 7 , Los Angeles , Ca 90034 . Please do that and will comeback here and give you a great review as you deserve if you understand the situation and realize : Is not my fault ! I was there ! The hours? Every place I looked says 9.00am . You don't know only when you are the door that you are open at 9 yet not for packages ! I never heard that one ! You can imagine how I felt , seeing I made my husband go late to work , drive more then an hour to reach there ( rush hour right ? ), for nothing ! I tried to explain to that girl and she was yelling at me , showing me some schedule on the door. She didn't let me say a word! I left extremely disappointed and....yeah ....so please! Is not that I don't want to come there. I have no transportation anymore, so please mail me the package. I gave you a three stars as I don't know yet what you'll do. But I know what I will do : will write or a good review here and to your executives or a complaint . Sorry ...is really up to you . Thank you This site is great ! I just learned that you can post pictures too ...So yes, there is the screenshot I took that day ! And as you see , was last Monday. So please do not send the package back, out of state! Please send it to me as am here in LA! Call me or email me if you refuse to ship it to me . I looked for different options .. a Uber there? Would cost me a lot ! So best is to please , ship it to me at the address above . Thank you . P.S. : If I see you rather ship it back , which is out of state , then to me , to a Los Angeles address? I will see that really evil, as I paid money to order that. The vendor won't be happy , I won't be happy , and ultimately ? You won't be happy as will file a complaint , sorry ! Sending it back ? Really doesn't benefit anybody ! You have to send it out anyway , so I don't see why wouldn't you rather ship it where it was intended to be! I hope you are understanding and a nice person . I am sorry for any inconvenience that this may bring to you, and all I can say is that I will rather send a letter to headquarters letting them know how great you are ! That would make all of us happy ! You know ? God bless us all as he teached all of us to be good people ! And now that I mentioned God ? Would like to post a screenshot from a video I took , to show you that God is truly really real!!! P. S. I didn't lost my car that night , but I lost it soon after . Is a different story . Will refrain ...as is irrelevant . But I have to explain now so you know : I lost my car . So I don't have transportation there . Sorry but I have to mention this, as I just saw the pictures posted here with regard to your schedule ( see attachm) , pictures that fully support me !!¡

Mail person hasn't been coming to deliver my mail for a while now even tho I haven't received…read moreanything I have informed delivery and it notifys me it's coming today and it doesn't I've been trying to get ahold of someone no help I've been going to usps office no help and rude I have very important stuff on the mail and it doesn't show it goes missing I've had this problem since last year
