    If I could give zero stars I would and hear me out this review is not based on one experience but 6 months worth. This location has the cheapest PO BOX rates for the area so I selected them over other locations in hayward San leandro and San lorenzo. And I regret it 100%!! I dont want this old guy to lose his job but he needs help or a new position because the current capacity he is working in is not it I am sorry... I dont know if its the guy or the building but I have not been able to access my box not one time !!! He gave me a locker code that doesn't even work!! I have consistently asked for a new combination or even help opening the box and he consistently says its not his fought which may be true but it doesn't excuse the fact that he doesn't even know how to open the box. He also struggle servicing customers in a timely manner... One month his printer ran out paper Another month the computer crashed Another they ran out of flat rate envelopes He is not able to explain the various shipping options when asked There is always a line out the door... so not only am I not able to access my po box I always have to wait 30 minutes plus for him to be available to get the mail from the back this is by far the worse experience ever. On top of everything else he has the nerve to be rude to customers. . Often times there is a slight language barrier but with patience that can be over came . But who is being patient when someone is yelling at you because they can't do their job... I hope usps see these reviews and reform this place.. they also have modified hours .. see the attached photo

Why is there a USPS in the middle of a mall!?! Part of the reason I came was just to see if Google was wrong, lol. Quality/Quantity - Keep in mind I am grading on a curve... The low rating is due to the comparison with all the other Post Offices that I frequent... See other reviews; Reno (3 Stars) and Alameda (4 stars). The lobby is not open 24/7. I guess I am spoiled with my Alameda and Reno post offices. I made the mistake on the 1/20/25 (a holiday) of trying to drop off letters (5 inches worth; I know, due to my travels, I have not checked my mail for a long time) and a package in 3 SL post offices. Atmosphere - Decent size lobby, again too bad they were closed. Homeless here today, so I understand why they are closed during non business hours. The other SL USPS that I went to today had homeless people also. Plenty of mall parking, but so many bad drivers. Service - 2, barely good enough. Not even any self service... Price - N/A, see their websites. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1971 (formed in Washington DC) with your $80B in revenue. Much controversy about your profitability or lack of it. This is an "independent" agency of the executive branch of our US government. You have an amazing history dating back to 1775, but I will not go into that here.

I try to get receipt and they told me the receipt was $0.00 means Post Office deliver my mail for Free. It's not true, and they talk real loud at the counter, it was so embarrassing to a customer like me. Like I am a cheater, it's not fair to me. They said I had to show the payment receipt before they can took the mail that I am not able to do that. I can tell they are not professional and do not have knowledge for their job. They need more training for the nowaday system. Something even more worse, my mail had timely concern, they take it and return it to me couple days later, and tape a receipt that $0 and I had money due for the mail. If the receipt show $ amount, means I had to pay right away. The mail was prepaid, they don't know if Vinted had NO account with easypost the label would Not be generated? I feel so disappointed with the staffs there. One is the Asian lady and the other one with Spanish speaking lady. I even don't want to go to that post office again and check out their name.

    I am writing to formally complain about the treatment my family and I received while attempting to…read morecomplete a passport application for my 20-month-old daughter. During our appointment, my daughter was initially crying because she is very young and was unfamiliar with the environment. After some time, however, she calmed down, began smiling, and was willing to engage and have her picture taken. Because she is only 20 months old, she was understandably scared to stand on the chair and needed a little time to adjust to the situation. Unfortunately, the employee assisting us, Amy, showed very little patience or understanding. Instead of providing reasonable assistance to a family with a very young child, she was rude and disrespectful toward me, my husband, and our daughter. Her behavior made the situation much more stressful and caused my daughter to cry even more. There was also an issue with our paperwork. I initially forgot some of the paperwork and returned as quickly as possible. I had told Amy that I would come back on time. When we returned at approximately 1:20 p.m., there was already another customer being assisted. We understood and were willing to wait. However, when we were finally able to speak with her again, Amy told us that she did not have time for us and did not want to continue trying to take our daughter's photograph because our daughter was not immediately engaged. I understand that employees have schedules and other customers to assist. However, I believe that reasonable patience and professionalism should be expected, particularly when dealing with a 20-month-old child. A toddler cannot be expected to immediately sit or stand still, look at a camera, and cooperate perfectly on command. Our daughter was actually beginning to smile and engage, and we simply needed a few minutes of patience to help her become comfortable enough for the photograph. Amy did not appear willing to give us even a reasonable amount of time to try. Her attitude and comments made us feel that we were being treated as an inconvenience rather than as customers who were trying our best to complete the process correctly. I subsequently asked to speak with the manager, Kaur. Unfortunately, I was also disappointed with the way our complaint was handled. Rather than listening carefully to our concerns and attempting to address the situation, we were essentially told to go to another office. We understand that other offices may be available, but that does not address the way we were treated at this location. We were not asking for special treatment. We were asking for basic courtesy, professionalism, and a reasonable amount of patience while trying to obtain a passport photograph for a 20-month-old child. I respectfully request that this incident be reviewed and that the conduct of the employees involved be addressed appropriately. I also hope that staff can receive additional guidance on how to handle families with infants and toddlers, particularly when a young child needs a few additional minutes to become comfortable with the photograph process. My family came to the office expecting to receive professional and respectful service. Instead, we left feeling humiliated, frustrated, and upset, particularly because of the way our young daughter was treated.

They had two windows open for assisting regular processing with card vs. cash. I believe it was that if you were planning to pay with cash, you would be able to be processed at the 3rd window, probably no cash rap there. The inside was small, but neat and organized. The line did have more people than I was expecting. Nice mix of individuals. Castro Valley is a small town and I got that feeling here, but at least its not a complete ghost town. The parking lot was also full the first time I entered. Saw a spot as I was coming out of the lot, but would have had to circle back to get it and there were already 2 cars entering from the other side. Luckily, I found a spot on the street. If I couldn't find parking, my next check would have been to park at The Village and walk over. The man who helped me was very kind and processed 5 small parcels that I needed shipped to the Greater Los Angeles region. They costed more than I was anticipating though, but the deed needed to be done. I was always fond of the drive thru mail drop off boxes as a kid- it was always super fun and didn't take long at all where you're able to go about your day. Something I've heard through the grapevine is that it might be best to bring the items inside to be mailed as there could be evil people who have nothing better to do than to potentially steal mail from outside mailboxes.
