Less than 3-stars average? Are you kidding?! The Oceanside Post Office _totally_ rocks! Never, ever have I had a bad experience there. Everyone, to a person, has been kind, professional, and as helpful as they possibly could. I love this Post Office -- LOVE it! read more

I frequent this Post Office location often and every time I'm here they're all courteous, helpful and get me in and out of there quickly. I appreciate that they have inside and outside mailbox drops and a private parking lot with plenty of spaces. read more

This post office was close by after having dinner at Felix's BBQ in Oceanside. It was easy to find so I could drop off a card to be mailed.

The cashier was very friendly and efficient Didn't push me to get the priority mail postage and offered ground and half the price only a 2 day shipping difference and there's no rush to get the package delivered. Very nice service here from all employees I've had here. Long lines but they help you quickly. read more

Extremely friendly and helpful people inside this post office. Even the customers who were there that day were so kind to me. Something you don't see every day in a post office. There were three postmasters manning the windows. When I arrived late afternoon around 4:00pm, there were only 6 other people in line. My transaction went fast. I was in and out of there within 20 minutes. This post office has many P.O. Boxes for rental. They also have the same number of amenities as all post offices have. Plenty of parking in front. read more

This review is solely about the passport clerk. He was rude, unfriendly, and unapproachable, with no regard for basic customer service. The office reeked of cigarette smoke, which was unacceptable, particularly with small children in the room. Marlboro cigarettes in his jacket pocket. Someone displaying this attitude should not be assigned to interact with customers. Maybe he should retire. read more

Paid to file change of address. 22 days later and not 1 piece of mail was forwarded. It's a temporary forward, went to our previous address and there is our mail. Spoke with supervisor twice. Carrier still delivering to previous address. Ended up going to the post office to speak with supervisor. Found mail in previous homes mailbox...AGAIN! It's not hard for a carrier to forward mail. They put it with the rest of the mail that gets forwarded for that zip code. Sound hard? read more

The man collecting the box outside completely ignored us while on his phone. We had 2 letters it was 4:59 he wouldn't acknowledge us so we drove to the entrance. then he emptied the box right In front of us!!! Argh read more

I was in Oceanside a couple of days ago and used some in between time to ship a package. The lines were huge, although it was not the usual rush hour and there were 3 employees helping customers. It was more wait that I am used to but then the gentleman that took care of my shipment was super nice and apologized for the delay (not his fault, probably lack of enough people). read more

They fail on so many different areas. Leaving the wrong mail in my box, leaving my mail in neighbors boxes. Almost every time Amazon send something USPS it gets lost, every time I've talked to them repeatedly. They don't seem to care, probably don't have the capacity to care. They're worse than on track. They're the original, but they're definitely the worst carrier around read more

I drove over to my local Oceanside Post Office because I needed to forward over my mail from my parent's home address over to a Post Office Box Address since my parents house is going to be listed for sale very soon. I recently moved out to live with a roommate in a condo somewhere in Oceanside, CA. But I made the decision to rent out a monthly Post Office Box until my home address becomes a permanent residence. Everything is very new to me now. The first time I stood in line waiting to receive a (4 page form ) to fill out on the procedure for a Post Office Rental Application. There is a strict requirement for everyone who wants to rent out a monthly Post Office Box at the Oceanside Post Office. I thought it would be an easy process but I learned that it's not that way at all. It's a very strict process and I need to follow their post office rules. read more

When I moved and a package was sent with former address they didn't forward to new address. They have my info, perhaps they can email or call me. I would have picked it up! Instead they quickly returned to sender. read more

Good prices and customer service. I got some important docs notarized and they also offer in-house witnesses if needed.

On it. Had to get a new passport and the gentleman in charge of that, Don was so patient and very accommodating. Very simple quick process just be aware of what is needed before showing up like any forms needing to be filled out ahead of time and you'll have a pleasant and quick experience. read more

Staff usually are friendly and always smiles. Lines could be long but quick to move along. Plenty of parking and prices are just right.

They constantly Atleast a few times a month with delivery errors and good luck trying to contact anyone there for help

Service for stamps and ship priority mail and it was awesome, friendly, and the prices are affordable for the typical post office, the usual waiting line not too bad. You know everyone has different needs and can be alittle lengthy in time but not today the real unsung heros thank you post office team for always providing great service with a smile. read more

They've lost my mail and they never answer the phone. They just hang up on you. Typical of US postal service.

Passport clerk is a a$$whole put us down and lowkey in a horrible mood told us everything was incorrect which was but it wasnt meant to be a big deal he could've been a little more polite atleast we couldnt even finish because of his appointment of 2 which was understandable but please why be mean? read more

I mostly drop and run since I print labels at home... This location is always clean and they keep the free shipping supplies well stocked. When I have needed help, all of the employees I've interacted with have been friendly and helpful. There is always plenty of parking available and the lot is easy to get in and out of. read more

DO NOT GO here for PASSPORTS! Save your time and drive to another city because it will be fast and more pleasant. I also wish I would have read the reviews before going. We were 5 min late to our appointment and when we arrived they said are you here for an appointment and we told them the deal and they said ok hold on, 4 employees walked around stocking accessories and playing on the register and 5 min later the guys who was walking back and forth in front of us while we waited said that we were too late for our appointment and we missed our turn and to reschedule. We were the only ones in there and there was no more appointments after us until 1:45! He could have easily been nice for 1 thing and then also take 10 min to help us out. We decided to drive to San Clemente to go get my son's passport and the employees were so much nicer! read more

I have been calling all morning and nobody answers. It just rings and rings and rings. I understand they have to help the people who are in line, but someone should be available to step away at some point to answer their phone. read more

I keep waiting every day on my days off for my mail man he does not come . Are they having to check in for doing there job ?

Updated walk in hours, staff member was saying people kept showing up at the old walk in hours between 3-4 and have to get turned away. read more

US Post Office - Updated hours 5/31/24 - Post Offices Near Me - Oceanside, California

Always crowded on a Saturday which seems to be when I'm racing a deadline and need to go in person. Thankful for the later hours.

I went to renew my passport at this location. I made an appointment and could not believe how terrible the service was. The clerk with the grey hair and ponytail was receiving the customers in line. He was visibly frustrated toward me when I arrived at my appointment time, there were many people waiting in the walk in line. When he approached me, he only and first pointed out loudly a minor correction in my completed paperwork as though he was trying to make his authority known, coming off to be intimidating so that he could have the upper hand when dealing with me and others waiting. During the process he then abruptly took my picture without any warning and then proceeded to ask a co-worker if my eyes were open enough. I could have not opened them anymore without an exaggerated expression to do so. It seemed to be a racist off handed comment. It was only when I took a picture of the customer service QR Code toward the end of the process that he tried to be cordial. Otherwise he did not provide any professional courtesies throughout the process. It's really hard to believe that this type of service exists at the expense of the taxpayer. read more

This is strictly off passport office only...this is my 2nd time doing a walk-in. I normally don't mind waiting so I've walked in for my kids' passports. The man working in the office (elderly with grey hair, I think his name is Don) has the worst attitude. Several people are patiently waiting in line and it almost seems intentional that he makes everyone wait. Not sure why I came back, but it was a convenient location to home. Several friends say that the surrounding offices are speedy and take walk-ins in between each appt. They need someone that is more technology savvy and knows how to work efficient in this type of department. At the minimum, someone that has good customer service. DO NOT come to this location for a passport walk in. Not even sure why they advertise them to take walk-ins. Someone came out to help a walk-in once, then never came back for the others. He stood in the back and shuffled papers around acting like he was busy. read more

I've shipped things twice overseas for Christmas and told it would be on plane. Instead they were put on a ship and the items did not arrive until February of the new year. I won't go here to ship anything anymore if it's overseas read more

I recently went for my passport application and I chose the right place !! I'm coming here every time for all my post needs. The service was excellent and they did a walk in with ease. They assisted me with all my needs with a friendly smile and professional service. Thank you Don for helping me with my passport, the whole process was seem less !! I will defiantly be returning and would recommend this establishment to any one in need of a home post office !! read more

Always have an easy time sending packages out for my business. All of the employees are great and usually don't have to wait long for services. Only issue I've had was a surprise cancellation of all passport appointments for December 2023 which was a bummer. Not the end of the world though. read more

I went in to mail out my passport for renewal and the lady who helped me was very kind and made sure I had all the proper forms filled out before sending it out. Very efficient service I love the USPS read more

I've been to this post office a handful of times. I like the large size, usually plenty of parking, and the availability of kiosks so you don't have to wait in line. The thing that really shot this place down the most was the "Passport Fair." It is the most u organized god awful experience to endure when you have very young children. I don't know how they make people with disabilities and young people wait as long as we did. We waited FOUR HOURS... and when my daughter started to have a meltdown close to the four hour mark, no one really seemed to care. We didn't get expedited, we didn't get help, nothing. Not one person cared. I had to nurse my daughter, bare breast and all, while standing. When we finally got moved up to the front, the guy tells me I wasn't supposed to fill in name/DL info for us, and that the handwriting would be different and that the passport agency might reject the application. So I had to re-do the first page while breastfeeding my daughter, standing on my tippy toes and trying not to cry. And no, my husband could not fill out the form because god forbid the other half of the form would be in a different handwriting. I really wanted to cry and have a meltdown myself. Not only that but I prewrote one check for the amount of her passport. I had to rewrite two checks one for the post office paperwork fee and the other to the passport agency! Again, all while trying to hold my very cranky, upset, nursing baby!!! There was no empathy from the postal worker. Had they told me when we first got our tickets, when they allegedly visually scanned our form, I could have redone the application. Well, that's one of the reasons why it took so long to get through the line... they were having people make corrections while at the front of the line. There was a postal worker supposedly going through applications at the front of the line... so so so wrong. There really needs to be a better system. We were number 71 and waited 4 hours. The postal worker who assigned us our ticket said the wait would be an hour to an hour and a half, which is why we stayed. I had an expired renewal and the postal man told me to use the kiosk and mail it in with my check. He said renewals could not be processed there PERIOD. Very rude! He did not even glance at my application and check... he simply handed me the paper that had the fees, none of which said that I didn't have to pay the $35 application fee. So I wrote a check for the wrong amount and put it in the mail. I don't even know if my application will be processed or rejected... so thanks to him, my application will be more lost money in paying $10 to get it mailed again, plus the additional time it will take to get. Also, my husbands passport was lost and again, they didn't look at his birth certificate until we got to the front of the line. They then told us they could not accept the birth certificate abstract even though it was certified. Again, had we known all this beforehand, we would have left. My advise- make an appointment for a passport. The passport fairs are far worse than any DMV line I've been in. read more

US Post Office - 4 hour wait to get passports during the fair - Post Offices Near Me - Oceanside, California

Tracking says they tried to deliver and left written notification. I was home waiting for them. They left no notification nor did they knock, ring the doorbell or anything else. Video surveillance on two seperate cameras one at door view and one at street view, shows no activity from the postal (lack of) service from fifteen minutes before until fifteen minutes after the supposed attempted delivery time. read more

The employees are helpful and compassionate but I've had to drive to the post office 6 times already for the same issue just to never have it resolved. The most annoying part is that they won't give me my mail. read more

I had a super stressful passport emergency! Usually, it's really hard to get in for a passport appointment, especially now during COVID. But the gentlemen who helped me were very kind, informative, and the knew what they were talking about. I didn't have an appointment, I just needed to come in to ask some questions, and they kindly just set me up for an appointment later that day for a passport renewal! And, I got my passport a few weeks later! It's very heart warming to know there's still good people left in the world. read more

This is my local, neighborhood post office. The folks in here are always super friendly and helpful. Even my postal carrier is a super nice guy. read more

They lost one package with my proof of delivery to them from a third-party carrier. Denied they received it despite my proof from FedEx. Then, they lost an Amazon parcel for one month after I insisted it was delivered 3x in person. A worker happened a month later to stick in a parcel locker. Don't expect their parcel locker boxes keys to work in the locks either, they're so old and worn after you get a key that doesn't work (happened 3x to me) you go to the window up front and wait in line feeling you've been ripped for the service charges you pay having a PO Box for address delivery from 3rd party carriers. The supervisor insisted FedEx just drops their tracking # parcels into a big box and leaves 'em. Then, the PO people don't know what's what if you loose one. Great work...thanks! read more

Never answers phone!! I work during business hours so I'm unable to talk personally over my package being delivered to the wrong apartment mailbox. Been trying to contact and nothing. I got a better response from the 1800 number. The other usps near the beach is soo much better at locating and helping find missing mail. This was birthday presents sent by a friend and all I'm trying to do is call to say not to cancel the search since even though it shows as delivered it was NOT delivered to the correct place and the worker on the 1800 number confirmed the address on the label was correct but believes it was put in the wrong mailbox read more

Went for the fourth time to this post office to get my mail straightened out after I kept being told that a change of address had not been done so I was told to fill out another one and took pictures of it and gave it to a manager named Ravi today I went to see if they had processed my change of address and the lady told me no and that the manager would have to verify my ID and that would resolve the problem that has gone on since August 14 so then they proceeded to tell me I could not have the mail for the company that we own because it does not show our Family name own the letter from the FTB because it is an LLC it only shows the company name, well I showed the letter I just got from his employee with the company name on it and he still wouldn't give me the mail so I asked to speak to the post master but they would not get him/her to come or they just wouldn't get out of their desk and come and speak to me. Then things took a turn for the worse he continued to be dismissive of my request so I got heated and told him to step outside and we could straighten it out so as a disabled veteran I stood my ground he acted as if he was going follow me out and of course that didn't happen all I want is my company mail that we own I haven't been able to receive it since August 14. Now I proceeded in contacting our federal house of representative Daryl Issa today to see if he can resolve this dumb problem, hopefully he will discuss this with the OIG to have the supervisor terminated. I think that as an older person I was shown nothing but disregard for the reason he could not give any straight answers. I guess they think the union will save them, that is why the postal service has always lost money in the billions every year because of employees like this person. read more

Came in yesterday to drop off a package. I was helped by Amber. She was super friendly and helpful. I've never had such a great experience at a post office before. Wish this one was closer to my house. I just happened to stop by because I was meeting a friend in the area. read more
