I went on a Friday afternoon, was next in line the moment I entered. I could tell the staff managing the counter doesn't take crap and is a no-nonsense kind of person. I am straight-forward with my questions and request, knowing what I want and what I need. It was completely transactional and efficient. I got what I needed to do done and was out of there probably less than 5 minutes. Parking is definitely hard though. There's supposedly a small alleyway in the back of the building, but it was kind of chaotic with cars stopped in the middle and blocking the ways. I would recommend parking across the street for free for an hour and crossing the street, if there happens to be open spots. Parking in Pasadena is not great and usually not free, so parking can be a bit of a challenge.

1 star I've come to…read morethis post office multiple times for a money order, and dealing with the same employee at the counter has been frustrating. Every time I ask, there's another excuse or I'm told to come back at a certain time. It comes across as lazy customer service when a simple request keeps getting put off and the customer is expected to make another trip. I have a job too, and I can't tell people to come back whenever I feel like helping them. If there are specific hours for money orders, post them clearly so customers can plan around them. If there's an issue that day, explain it and tell people when they can actually get the service. It's ridiculous to keep wasting people's time over a money order. I'll be going to a different location from now on.

While I was sending a package to a friend from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is located behind the building. However, sometimes that parking lot is full. So what I usually end up doing is park in the El Nido Plaza and walk over to the post office. The parking lot in the El Nido Plaza is big and the parking spaces are pretty decent. Store & Staff: The store itself is very clean, neat, and tidy. The staff here are very fast and professional. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

It looks like people are rating with their emotions rather than measuring the value of this office, because I see people having issues with tasks out of the scope of this location's functions, such as information on the USPS website, packages lost before they reached Altadena, and someone who ordered stamps online. The most viable criticisms I've seen are that the parking might be challenging at some times of day, and that there is sometimes a line, but these a pretty standard for a post office.

I have had three interactions with her, and each time, she has demonstrated a lack of customer service skills, professionalism, and basic courtesy. Today, Saturday, I walked in a little after 3:00 PM. There were still customers inside, both in line and at the kiosk. My package was already sealed and labeled. I simply asked if I could at least leave my package inside because the contents were expensive. Instead of responding professionally, she rolled her eyes, slammed the door in my face, and proceeded to leave my package unattended in the lobby on top of the kiosk. That was completely unnecessary and potentially put my valuable merchandise at risk. It would have taken less effort to allow me to place the package in the bin that postal employees roll to the back. I am tired of this employee. There are so many qualified people actively seeking employment who would appreciate the opportunity to work and provide excellent customer service. As a business owner myself, I understand the difference between enforcing company policies and simply being unreasonable, disrespectful, and unprofessional. Her behavior was unacceptable. I intend to report this incident to every appropriate corporate office, the Better Business Bureau, and relevant social media platforms. I am also deeply frustrated by what I perceive as prejudice in interactions between Hispanic and Black communities in Los Angeles. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of race or background. No customer should have to tolerate repeated disrespect, hostility, or unprofessional behavior simply because an employee does not want to provide proper service.

I am an exhibiting professional artist, and my recent experience with Box & Ship in Pasadena was…read moreabsolutely unacceptable. I contracted Box & Ship to handle the packing and return shipment of my original oil painting and custom frame from the 2025 California Art Club Gold Medal Exhibition. Their responsibility was simple: pack my artwork properly, with all of my original packing material, that I clearly had instructions to save, so it would arrive safely. Instead, their negligence, of not saving my original packing material and their poor repackaging, caused damage to my frame, and their customer service afterward towards me was dismissive and unprofessional. Here are the facts: Improperly sealed box: When I received my painting via FedEx on September 10, 2025, one end of the box was barely taped shut and nearly open. Only two pieces of tape barely holding one end of the box closed. My original packing material was mostly missing inside: There was very little packing material holding the painting and frame in the box. The artwork could shift around freely during shipping. Missing original packing: When I shipped my painting to the exhibition in July, I personally packed it with bubble wrap and peanuts so it was tight and secure....it could not move at all. It arrived to the California Art Club Gold Medal Exhibition undamaged and safe. However, after waiting 3-4 weeks to have my painting shipped back to me and Box & Ship finally got around to send it back, most of my original packing material was missing, leaving the piece vulnerable. Resulting damage: Because of their careless packing, the inner wood liner of my custom, hand-finished frame sustained a full break. I hand-finished this frame myself to match the painting, and repairing it will cost $200 in labor and materials. I have extensive photographic documentation showing the poor packing job and the resulting damage. When I contacted Box & Ship to request reimbursement, their response was dismissive. Instead of taking accountability, they told me: "The California Art Club insures the Gold Medal. Not Box & Ship. Please contact Eire and take it up with them." This reply is unacceptable. Not only does it deflect accountability for their poor packing practices, but it also demonstrates a complete disregard for the artists whose work they are entrusted to protect. Whether or not the California Art Club maintains insurance on artworks exhibited, the fact remains that Box & Ship themselves caused the damage through careless handling. As an artist, this experience has been infuriating. I will never trust Eric and Box & Ship again, nor use their poor shipping services. Their negligence not only damaged my frame, but their dismissive attitude shows they do not value their customers or the responsibility of safeguarding important artworks. I strongly urge the California Art Club to reconsider its relationship with Box & Ship. By continuing to use this company, they risk not only their reputation, but damaging more artists' works and undermining their commitment to protecting the contributions of their artist members, which make all their exhibitions possible. For fellow artists: think twice before entrusting your artwork to Box & Ship in Pasadena, California. Based on my bad experience, they are very slow to ship artwork, apparently have too much work for them to handle in a respectable time frame, careless in their packing and refuse to take responsibility when their negligence causes damage.
