Most of the counter people are pleasant and efficient. I am sad that the tribe is going to tear down this architecturally significant building for more overflow casino parking. The building could be better maintained, the landscaping is an eye sore and the homeless garbage/dirt needs to be power washed off every now and again. Frequently, my mail is jam packed into my mail box (price nearly doubled in less than 8 years) and the letters are crumpled. Still no way to opt out of junk mail =-( . My local delivery person does not ring the door bell when leaving a package, so it risks theft and sits out in direct 118 degree sunlight melting away. =-( read more

Good USPS location! Kim resolved a problem with self serve station which shows, that even with machines still need people to fix and run the machines! Good job! read more

I have never had any issues with the service at this post office. The staff is always friendly and will answer any questions that you may have. Sometimes there is a long line, but it moves quickly and I have met some interesting people while waiting in line! read more

Great service! I first was approached by a lady to see what I needed today. There were plenty of people available serving customers on a Saturday morning. The place was clean and well stocked. read more

I don't find them very friendly most of the time. Of course, some exceptions. My mail constantly gets put in the wrong mailbox and is causing problems. My bills don't always arrive, check has been lost, etc. Neighbors bringing my mail from their box, not good! It happens frequently. Just get excuses. Get it together at San Jacinto Village Apartments. read more

I usually have no trouble here the only person I've had trouble with is Mark he's extremely rude and disrespectful to customers. Ellen and Rita are amazing go out of their way to help you and so does another young gentlemen whose name slips me he's the youngest man there. But that Mark has such an attitude he needs to be fired and or get a job where he doesn't work with people. And to the comment earlier about they were denied service because they had a dog you do have to show proof that you do have a service dog California issues a license with a number on it one man complained that Ellen denied him access and she had all rights to he had no documentation whatsoever in short get rid of Mark he's a mess read more

I had to get a PO Box and Ellen was there to help me with the process and made sure I got a box at the top level - as I am six feet - and it helps. Ellen also helped me with the address change card. Thanks Ellen!!! read more

Do you send a letter certified and you would think the United States Post Office would get your mail there I'm going on one month of not knowing where my package is included documents I'm very upset that sucks read more

I have been using this main Post Office in Palm Springs for many years. I have found the employees always available to assist me wth mailing and postal problems. The staff is willing to help and even make suggestions to save money on different mailing solutions. Ellen and Chris on the front line are so professional, and are a credit to the Postal Service. read more

Had a incredible experience at the Post office, Palm Springs, CA in Amado St, because I got the help I need it, and also I was very impressed by one of your employee. Her name is Rita Jarreh: her mannerism, her disposition, her high level costumer service, her expertize and knowledge was wonderful. Rita went extra miles to help me, and always she had a smile on her face: she represent your Company with high level professionalism. Thank you for surrounding yourself with people like Rita: she an asset for Post Office. Very grateful for this experience, and because of Rita I will recommend this location to all my friends, family, acquittance. read more

Poor customer service. I waited for them to pick up my call for an hour, and when they finally picked up, they hung up when I wasn't even finished talking. I requested a redelivery package that was supposed to arrive on a Friday, but it never made it to my address. When I called the next day to follow up on it (after trying for an hr), they said it was "still in their facility." I don't like putting in bad review but i hope this will help them better their service. read more

Friendliest, cleanest, and best all around post office I've ever been in. The postal workers are so good humored and helpful. They make you eager to return again and again. read more

Postal delivery on my route is not reliable. Some employees at main Post Office are helpful, but can't seem to assure that I get my mail. I have letters appear on my front door from neighbors who got it, and I get mail for neighbors occasionally. Complaints don't seem to correct the problem. If I owned a business with the problems the Post Office has (with these problems created by a Congress that wants them to pre-fund their retirement 75 years in to the future----what other company has to do that????), I'd be sure my employees were doing their job. read more

I would give this post office 5 stars if the USPS would hire full time employees who open at least 4 registers Monday through Friday. With the company I work for I have to come here every day, 6 days a week for a simple round date. There should always be someone who only does round dating or pick up. Lines are long, theres only 2 or 3 people on the busiest days and times. Almost everyone who needs to go to the post office has a job and as tax paying Americans, i think USPS can afford to have a full staff. Victor is very sweet and so are 2 other people. The rest of the employees seem to hate their job with their attitudes, lack of patience and sighs. read more

I'm giving 5 stars. I've been coming to the PO for years and have found the staff to be super helpful and they are very courteous and attentive when you reach the counter. read more

This really is just the worst post office on the planet. I put in a forwarding to my summer home in NC for three months. I would get one piece of mail now and again, then I would get a cell phone photo of a bunch of mail my neighbor happened to find in my mailbox back home. OK, so I put ANOTHER forwarding mail request, only to have the same problem continue. WTH?? No wonder they are going out of business. read more

Over crowded - too small for the volume of customers. Not enough people at the counter. You can't buy stamps in the lobby. They took away one of two post boxes out front - they are always full and now you have to park just to mail a letter because there isn't any room in the one box. Why take away half of the boxes when they were always used. The people try to make up for the problems - courteous, helpful - but this is one of the worst post offices - esp. a MAIN office - that I've ever seen. read more

What a great experience !Waited in line for 2 minutes and the clerk apologized for the wait!

Here's the deal. The post office is severely under staffed. Not their fault. In my opinion it is about the service you get. Once I got to the front (yes 45 minutes) they were professional and friendly and accurately handled my transaction. read more

I mailed seven Christmas cards inside the post office in Palm Springs. My daughter received only the envelope, the card had been removed. My granddaughter never received her card. Someone in the post office is dishonest. read more

If you're a business owner. Do not drop off your packages at this location. Priority Items take longer to be delivered than at any other location. Also they mark your packages as delivered instead of accepted when dropping them off which causes problem with customers, because the tracking number never fixes up. Management is condescending and disrespectful and will not take any responsibility for their own mistakes. Take your business elsewhere or you will make your customers unhappy. read more

I find the people here to be very nice and quite helpful. However, phone service is horrible. As a part time resident, I have the need to phone on occasion. One can rarely get through - busy signal in 2014! After three days of trying on my breaks at work, I got throght this AM only to get disconnected. Businesses need to understand their community and clientele to remain relevant. While phone service might not too critical in suburban Orange County, when operating in second-home community AND serving many retirees, it is very important. read more

This is a great facility. I have a small business and have shipped hundreds of fragile packages from this post office with no issues or problems. The people are fast and efficient, if overworked. read more

Horrible service. Have a problem with 3/5 packages getting delivery to my house, not even an apartment . They are hard to get a hold of by phone. read more

I understand things get tight with lack of help. But management team needs to train their workers on how to freaking smile and give customer service! They are there getting paid to do a job. So do the job! If you hate your job so much then don't work there. It's disappointing that this is a giver job and employees are still unhappy. read more

Really? They slap the form on the counter, and are surley. They are slow, and usually have only 1 or 2 people working, I mean, kind of working. read more

I have always been a fan of post office workers, but the person in charge of this office appears to be an ineffective manager. Each and every time we place a vacation mail hold and request to be held at facility, we are told that the mail isn't there when we arrive to pick it up. It takes two tries to get the employees to find our box of mail. Their original response is "it's on the truck". After a second look (at our insistence), they find it there. Staff are very surly each time. Also, our delivery person often miss delivers our packages and letters to someone else. This frequently includes our medications. There are days when we get no delivery even though we are notified that we have some coming that day. Normally don't give negative comments but this is a very frustrating experience. I have never had these problems in 50years of mail delivery. Points to carelessness or apathy on workers part. read more

the absolute worst mail service on planet earth!!!!! why can't this po get their act together??!!! the worst!!!! always, mis-delivering expensive items -- i am so disgusted with this horrible, inept local po of ours and have no way to rectify anything because they take the phone off the hook to avoid customers!!!! that is sooooooooooooooooo wrong!!!! horrible service!!!!!! avoid this po at all costs!!!! save yourself from their rotten useless service!!!! read more

Everyone at this location looks like they hate their jobs. Service from the old queen is the worst, unfriendly, tired and plain rude. Yawn.

Great service, Ellen took the time and helped me today with something on the spot that usually requires an appointment. Very professional and fast staff. read more

Awful. Like most offices, including the Rancho mirage post office, they are often rude, incompetent and unprofessional. The supervisors are especially bad. The ones at the Rancho mirage post office are the absolute worst I have ever dealt with. Virginia and Tim - you two get zero stars. Makes me want to move. read more

3 stars for the awesome, friendly, efficient man who works the counter. 0 star for the female I got this morning. He called her to the counter when the line got long. Took her a bumbling 5-10 minute stretch to get her register opened, etc. She then served 1 customer, slowly. He helped about 5 people while she got her act together. I had the misfortune of getting her. One of my boxes wasn't taped on top. After waiting 20 minutes, I now cannot mail these boxes because she can't spare 6 inches of tape. Gee, thanks. Also, the pen hasn't worked all month at the label station. Come on. read more

MAIL LADY ON VIA ESCUELA/RIVIERA GARDENS! This isn't directed at the post office itself but my mail carrier is EXTREMELY RUDE to put it nicely. My key snapped off in the lock last week and I needed to understand the order of operation I needed to go through to get it replaced. I approached my maillady today to ask her what I needed to do because I couldn't get my mail. Her reply: Well you're getting your mail! I said "No actually I'm not" Her: "Well someone is!" She had all of the mailboxes opened up so I moved over a magazine so I could see the 22 envelops in my mailbox (that I had alegedly been getting) Her: DON'T TOUCH THAT MAIL! Me: it's mine! Her: I don't care, I need to see your ID!! Me: Sure no problem! (I grab for my wallet) Her: Um, can you wait until I'm done!! I looked at her and said "What an attitude! Nevermind, I'll ask the post office how to replace it ya rude ass!!" She muffled something under her breath and shut the mailbox with all of my mail inside of it and left!! KNOWING I can't get to it!! I'm shaking I'm so mad at her!! I'm calling the post office now. Hope they are more friendly than this amazon! read more

Worst phone service EVER. Waited 20 minutes with busy signal and finally got through to a voice mail. After listening to the options I was told that no one was available to take my call (wonder why it was busy for 20 minutes then?) and was directed to press zero to reach the receptionist. Pressed zero and got another voice mail saying NO ONE WAS ABLE TO TAKE MY CALL and instructed to wait for the beep and leave a message. The beep came and then another voice mail came on saying that the voice mail box was full and it could NOT TAKE ANY MESSAGES. Is this the way to operate a business? TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. It's no wonder they are failing fast. read more

This was the first usps office I ever been to in palm springs and boy was I suprised wen I walked in and I saw that iam the only person in there. I was suprised because it take a about 20 mins to buy one stamp in Los Angeles the cashier was this nice elderly lady who was very fast and helpful towards me schooling me how to send items out so I save money plus it's faster delivery with confirmation I love palm springs usps read more

Terrible staff, completely indifferent attitude with obviously no accountability. I cancelled a change of address order, only to have this post office continue to forward my mail to Texas! After two separate visits to the post office and discussions with a "supervisor" the mail still is not delivered to my PS address. At best these folks just don't care, and at worst they out and out lie about corrections that they promise to make. Really sucks! read more

If you are un-lucky enough to need a post office in Palm Springs you are not in for a nice surprise. The main post office is horrible. There is a smoke tree south small post office that is better but the large main office needs to be shut down. The employees are rude and the efficiency of the entire operation is pathetic. There are NO smiles at the counter for sure and trying to find a lost package that you know was delivered to this post office is impossible. It's no wonder the postal service is going broke with local stations like Palm Springs pulling them down the hardest. read more

To the Yelp Readers. I felt it important and necessary to point out a exemplary Post Office employee by the name of Kris. I presented Kris with a problem he personally had nothing to do with but as it was a postal matter, he felt compelled to do right by me. The issue I presented him concerned misinformation regarding services I paid for, [through the 1775 E. Palm Canyon postal branch] and which I did not ultimately receive. I decided to address this through the main branch and is where I met Kris. He took it upon himself to work through postal definitions and confirmed the service I was expected and should have received was indeed a inner-postal miscommunication issue. This was not a issue he could handle immediately while I was there but he took the time to follow-up and contacted me a few days later expressing his apologies on behalf of the post office and that I indeed didn't get the service I was told I would receive and paid for. I further asked I be refunded a portion of the costs as I felt the post office didn't deliver on said services. Kris made sure to speak with his Supervisor who allotted a partial refund. Overall this took me a bit of time but it was imperative as the definitions regarding Certified mail versus Registered mail was at stake. For all those reading, if you want to make sure a specific party at any location only receives and signs for a piece of mail, make sure to pay for Registered mail only, and not Certified. This is where I was incorrectly steered. Again, thanks to Kris' time and efforts, I did learn the absolute correct way to send a piece of mail requiring a specific signature by a specific party. The Post Office should be happy they have a person such as Kris working for them as he really wanted to do right by the Post Office and also wanted to make sure I was leaving happy with the end resolve. He was diligent, well-mannered and apologized a number of times. I just hope his upper management recognize him for those attributes and that they also make sure to convey to all the branches the rule about Registered versus Certified mail and their signature requirements. Thank you again Kris. Signed, Lance Caldwell read more

The amount of blunders at Palm Springs PO is phenomenal. Particularly, asking sensible question for mail and expecting to get sensible answer. After 3 weeks, I am still waiting for important documents to be delievered internationally. Not because Priority mail isn't expressly delivered, but because I told the Postal worker that my documents needed to be delievered secure and as quickly as possible and I was sold Registered Mail...the slowest way to send anything. While secure, it can take many customs flights depending on where it is going, (in my case India) and as of 3 weeks later no one knows where the documents are. I am so disappointed and downright pissed I was mislead. A simple "I don't know" would have prompted me to find out more info on my own as opposed to actually going through Registered and now waitiong and waiting and waiting. Don't be foolish like me...do your OWN homework and don't rely on potatoe heads here. You will be disappointed like me. There is plentyy info on line. I am fed up as this is about the 5th run in with Palm Springs PO in as many years...Jesus! I guess no one said you had to have an 8th grade education to work there. Sorry to all those postal emplyees who actually care...they are there...and also I could kick myself for not relying on my better instincts! Beware. read more
