I came in with several tracking numbers written on a sheet of paper, but I was only asking about…read morethe two items that were marked with stars. Before I could fully explain my question, the employee took the paper from my hands and did not listen to what I was trying to say. Instead, he proceeded to look at all of the tracking numbers, which was not what I was asking about. When he returned, he spoke to me in a condescending manner and implied that I should not have come to that post office because one of the packages belonged to a different ZIP Code. However, I had visited both post offices two days earlier, and an employee at the other location specifically instructed me to come to this office because that package was there. I calmly explained that my frustration was not about the package itself, but that he had not listened to my question before making assumptions. Rather than acknowledging that, he became increasingly rude. The interaction ended with him asking me, "Do you want a tissue to cry about it?" I was shocked that a USPS employee would speak to a customer this way. The employee literally shoved tissue at me and reached over the counter towards me. This is unnecessary and unacceptable. I will be filing a police report.

EPHRAIN IS TO BE COMMENDED! I honestly love the workers at…read morethis post office. They have such a hard job....you have no conception of their load and long hours, and yet they still manage to smile, and go way above and beyond to be courteous and helpful. Today, my fiancée had the pleasure of meeting EPHRAIN, who helped us navigate sending a registered parcel internationally. He was so kind....so patient and really demonstrated superior customer appreciation, attention-to-detail, and efficiency. He was genuinely warm and just an overall amazing guy. Please be sure to thank you hard-working postal workers, as they are the backbone of so many things we take for granted in our daily society. Please also say hello to EPHRAIN, if you are lucky enough to have him work the window when you arrive.

The most terrible,misinformed and ignorant staff I have ever had the misfortune to encounter!!!…read more I presented a flat rate box that was bulged and they refused to ship it! I had researched the official USPS website prior to packaging it and it clearly met all the requirements and specifically said that bulges in the box are not a problem as long as it closes on the normal folds which it did! Even when presented with the written regulations from USPS website they dug in their heels a refused to ship my parcel. The postal service needs to either train its staff or at least have them learn the regulations!! They are absolutely the classic example of overpaid under qualified government employees. I would give zero stars if I could!! No wonder this post office has a 2.1 rating on Yelp! I added this edit later- I took the parcel to San Roque post office and they accepted it without blinking an eye. I told them what happened in Goleta with these idiots and they just shook their heads and rolled their eyes!

It's a bit rare to get such quality service these days and I just want to say thank you so very much to JD, Amar, Manny and anyone else whose name I am forgetting.
