Everyone is quick to leave a bad review, but not leave a good one. That's because people usually give a review when they want to vent and complain about something. When things are good, people usually don't bother reviewing because things worked out and that's 'normal' for them. So I'm here to provide an updated, August 2025 review of this epic blast from the past post office. The USPS worker in the picture is super nice and helpful. The office itself looks well maintained, and the PO Box section holy wow it's spacious! I dropped off a package. If it delivers successfully, I'll update this post and will maintain its 5 stars. If my package gets lost, then I'll have to drop the stars down to 1 or 2 and it'll unfortunately match others experiences. But for now we'll wait and see. read more

See all

Things really have not gotten any better. We still have one or two carriers that do their job well and I say, "Thank you " to them. But to the rest of them, to say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. I lately placed a major order with Amazon. The tracking showed a status of "Delivered." I never received it. After waiting for a day, I drove around our rural neighborhood and started looking at my neighbors' driveways. I found my package about a quarter mile down the road by my neighbor's gate. Their house number is not even close to ours. They apparently were not home. I'm just glad we don't have problems with porch pirates in this area or I would have been out several hundred dollars. We have had two other Amazon deliveries that never made it either with a "Delivered" status. My next problem has to do with the system in general and I don't know how much of this has to do with the Ione Post Office but probably most of it. A few weeks ago, I purchase a living plant online as a gift for our next door neighbor's little girl. According to the tracking, it made it to the Ione PO. From there it got sent to Riverbank. And then back to Ione. And then to Redding and finally back to Ione. It was delivered but half dead. And now our Kohl's order is experiencing the same all expense paid trip around the state. Tracking shows it was sent to Ione and then to Riverbank. Who knows where it will wind up? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. read more

Calling this place a JOKE wouldn't even begin to describe it. Seriously. The purpose of a post office is to help the community by distributing everyone's mail and delivering it to the correct houses. Keyword: DELIVERING ---- There have been more packages that I've ordered and didn't receive than packages I've actually received ... and that's damn sad. And to make matters worse, it's impossible to get a hold of somebody on the phone at the local office, which makes a frustrating situation even more aggravating! ZERO HELP. That's one thing you're guaranteed to get from this post office all the time .... & that's nothing. Nothing at all. read more

Delivery service is horrible. Large packages stuffed into small boxes while small packages may be delivered to doorstep. Half of the time your package will get sent to the wrong address. read more

Carriers are supposed to do their job. They don't. Even on our selected Amazon Prime delivery day, they don't bother to even take out the packages and pretend they're going to deliver it. This is very hard for elderly and disabled customers who have a very hard time going to town every single time to pick up packages. Someone really needs to contact the federal government about this. read more

This post office has consistent delivery issues. Packages are frequently delivered to the wrong address. My package says it was delivered today and it is not at my front door or in the mailbox. You guys really need to do better. read more

tracked package which says it was delivered but my family was there and no package was ever left. It was Christmas Eve so I'm guessing they did the rounds and didn't deliver so they could go home faster. I've called their office number 20 times and no one's picked up once. I tried leaving a complaint at the main USPS website and as I finished the complaint the site said there was an "error" and booted me off. sure hope Trump gives them the boot back. Think I'll use fed ex next time. read more

I admire the people who are willing to do this job, and the ones who are great are great. But I've had so many mishaps lately, it's becoming a real burden and costing me money. In the last month, I've had a mail carrier accidentally leave the parcel locker open and my son's school clothes stolen, a package thrown on my porch and items broke, and a very important letter not delivered so I went to the post office and they had me sign for it and promised they'd leave it on my door but never did. I went in today to return the broken item and ask about the letter, and she still has no idea where it is. The computer says it is in the building but she can't find it. It's a legal matter an theyr putting me in a bad situation. Not cool. read more

A package (over $220 in value) was delivered to the wrong address. The homeowner there ended up bringing it to us. The key to the street-side box had two different numbers on it, both boxes associated with those numbers already used. The keys couldn't open either of the two other boxes. At some point in time, this post office MUST get its act together! read more

Why cant our mail and packages be delivered to the correct address here in Ione???? Service is terrible. my mail goes somewhere else and I receive other peoples mail. This is un acceptable.. read more

Whatever happened to integrity at the US POSTAL SERVICE? My wife and I have lived in Camanche Village for 6 years now. We have recieved a lot of mail that was misdelivered. One of my biggest complaints is how inadequate some of the drivers are as in, attempting to send out letters with my Red flag in the pickup position they would deliver maul to us and not pickup the outgoing mail. How could they miss that? Someday I'm hoping it hits better! read more

We moved in a few months ago. This office has lost several of our packages already. We do a lot of online shopping as we are removed a bit from civilization. They had us sign a release to allow them to leave packages on out mailbox down the street. Big mistake. Instead of using their best judgement as to whether or not to leave the packages at the mail box, they leave everything at the mail box, rain or shine. There are six people in our neighborhood and we've met them all. Most are retired and traffic is non existent. We dont suspect they're taking our things. We're starting to suspect our carrier of taking our packages now. We use any other carrier whenever possible. We've reached out to them many times and they just say we released them to deliver at the box, so it's not their problem. No stars. read more

I've lived in Ione for about 6 weeks now. worst post office I've ever dealt with. I live in a very populated part of town and they refuse to deliver packages and I'm forced to go into the post office and pick them up during business hours, so if you work 8-5 Monday-Friday good luck getting anything picked up. I have more faith in a carrier pigeon than this waste of tax dollars. read more

Friendly clerks and inside is always comfortably cool. Wish they were open til 5 though!

My neighbors and I have been getting each other's mail for the past 2+ years that I've lived here. I have complained at this office over 3 times and online over 2 times. They replaced the postmaster 2 or 3 times so I had to reiterate my complaints each time. I hope they keep the new postmaster. I see that she sent a new postal carrier out to take care of our mail. So far so good. read more
