The staff at our friendly Seaside post office is really great. The line usually runs smoothly and they have answers to all of my questions. That said... why on EARTH is there no stamp machine? I walked in today needing a single international stamp and the line was backed up way into the lobby (holiday traffic). I didn't get that stamp or my letter sent off as I turned right around and walked back out. Please get a stamp machine. Please get a stamp machine. Please get a stamp machine. Please get a stamp machine. Please get a stamp machine. Please? :-) See ya there! read more

This post office is a lot slower than the one in Marina, so anytime I'm in the areas I visit this location. I needed to ship off my passport renewal application and was too afraid to do it in my own. I came into this location for assistance with shipping out my package and ensuring I have all of the right documents. The first person to help me was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, when we got to the end of my package she informed me that I have to pay either by check or with a money order as this is all the department of state will accept for passport renewals. I was forced to leave, go to the bank, and come back. At this point, I was helped by a different employee that was helpful- but a little rude. Additionally, I noticed other employees being rude and snappy to customers. read more

US Post Office - Outside post office - Post Offices Near Me - Seaside, California

It is a nice little post office and the service was quick. I wanted to purchase a particular stamp the the clerk went to the back to get it. I appreciate the workers there since some of the customers are particularly difficult. The person before me could not fill out a form and didn't have the information needed, like an address and zip code. DUH! I wouldn't blame the post office or the workers for a customer's inability to come prepared to mail a parcel. Maybe that's why the lines are long. Wear patience when going there as the clerks are doing the best they can. read more

I usually do all my post office business in Marina, but decided to come here. I had a package to mail and drove by a post office, and thought, well, get that chore done. The COVID protocols are in place with markings on the floor to indicate correct social distancing. The service was also outstanding. Goodness. Those Postal Workers having to work under the current circumstances happening in the world. It is quite scary. There was a line, but it moved quickly. I was a bit concerned at being around so many people, but dang it, COVID has everyone, especially me, afraid to be around too many peeps. I probably won't be going out of my way to come to this Post Office location. But only because is not my "go to" Post Office. If you happen to be in this neighborhood and need to mail something, I would say, yes, this Post Office will suffice. Thank you postal workers for doing your job. Happy Yelping Peeps. read more

US Post Office - It's a new world and way to do errands. - Post Offices Near Me - Seaside, California

I live 30min away from the post office located in Seaside Ca. I previously filed a complaint about the post office not putting my main in a box and leave the key in my regular box. Today I really needed my checks and I drove 30miles to find they did not put my checks inside a big box. I now have to drive all the way home and come back tomorrow. Gas is to expensive for this kid of nonsense. I rung the bell the employee is laughing inside and refuse to see what I wanted. My name is Bertha Gaskins, PO Box 2147, Seaside Ca 93955, (831) 998-6513 read more

Sorry to say this is the worst,poorly .anaged and rude post office I have ever been to. I have been to post offices all the way from. NEW YORK City to Maui Hawaii. They are rude ,unprofessional, and incredibly incompetent. read more

I always have excellent experiences here. Even if there is a line, it moves quickly. Not quaint and cool like Carmel post office; but efficient, friendly and tidy. Parking and box drop letters, no problem. Easy location for access, nice staff and a good place for pick up; especially, when your mail carrier has problems delivering your packages on more than one occasion. My beloved last carrier retired, bless his heart and ailing knees. The replacement mail carrier has issues delivering packages, to your door. If the Amazon, Macy's or Kohl's packages fit in the mail box, you are good to go usually. However, I have a very safe neighborhood and I guess he feels leaving items at the door is not a good idea. Sign of the times, I guess! Good luck ! read more

I needed to get a passport for my son done as soon as possible for an international trip. We were lucky to find an appointment the next day coming all the way from Millbrae, CA. - it wasn't busy and we were taken care of immediately. The woman there took care of us exactly on our appointment time and took the passport photo of my toddler son. We were out and about 15 minutes tops! read more

Love this location. Great parking. Small lines. And the staff are very nice. Super efficient.

Surprisingly busy post office. They had a great staff. Most everyone was friendly. But I'd like to give a shout-out to Maronites. She squeezed us in a few minutes early. read more

Worst post office ever. In the past two months my mailbox has been broken I needed to get in contact with them to go about fixing it and and each time they never answer the phone. read more

This is the best post office. In the last year and a half I have been here many times and am always pleasantly surprised. Lines move quickly, staff is friendly, and things get done. If they see you have a prepaid package, they tell you to put it on the counter and not wait in line. You can make an appointment for passports here, too, which we have done with success. I really love the staff here! read more

This post office is awesome! The people here are so helpful and nice and yes there is always a line here during the middle of the day but that is because a lot of people in the area have e-commerce businesses and use this post office. If you want a quicker postal experience, go to Moss Landing or Pacific Grove. read more

If you have a "mail pickup", don't bother ringing the bell at the door that says "mail pickup, ring bell for service". There will be no service and you will stand at a closed door for five minutes. 1PM on a Tuesday. Multiple rings. read more

Moved into a new house almost two months ago. A month ago, we called about getting our P.O. Box locks changed, Said that it should be done that Saturday or Wednesday, considering those are the only days they'll do locks. They also mentioned to expect a call once completed. No problem. A week after they said that, we called up to ask about the issue. "We haven't gotten to changing your locks yet," was the only thing they told us other than to continue waiting. Now, we've waited 1 full month to get them changed and nothing. No call or information on when it should be done. Not sure what else to do, especially since we have bills to pay and we can't receive our bills out of the mailbox. Very very slow and disappointing.... read more

The absolute worst post office in Monterey county. So SLOW literally every day of the week. Never more than 2 employees on register, doesn't matter if there's a line of 20+ people outside like there was 15 minutes ago. Walked our after waiting 20 minutes during my lunch break to send out 4 packages. I'm going to stop wasting my time going to this post office and just stop in Marina on my way home. They actually ask for assistant in the back when they have a line waiting. It's called "customer service", maybe seaside office should try it ‍ read more

Very knowledgeable friendly staff they really go beyond what they do they take time make sure the customer fully understands what they need or other services read more

Marisol was so kind assisting me with a lost package today. A literal life saver-All the ladies there are so sweet and kind and extremely helpful and understanding read more

The staff is very nice and patient. I've never had issues with parking and the lines move fast. However, I wish there was a self postage machine. Boo. read more

I don't have any stars for this service, they lost my order and I couldn't get any reimbursed, few weeks ago I ordered something from Grupon, they send me the item and it got lost at the post office, worst customer service, I wouldn't recommended it. read more

I've never been inside here; so far, all I've done is use the drop-off boxes. They are set up so that the driver can put his letters into them, which is more than I can say for the outdoor mailboxes outside the downtown Monterey branch. Ingress and egress from the parking lot (where the boxes are) is easy, though it can be challenging for those turning left from Broadway. read more

Came at an earlier time and the guy helped me. He was very friendly and was clear on prices. Wish the government would fund the postal service so there could be more cashiers to help w the lines out of the door read more

It's tricky to get in/out of the lot, but I actually look forward to going to the post office here. The two women who work here are always SO friendly and helpful. I've never seen service like this at a post office. They're chatty, upbeat, willing to answer questions, patient, and efficient. I can't say enough nice things about them! read more

I want to use this as a way to compliment this post office for correcting somethings that my husband and I had a big problem with. I came to this Post office to send papers via priority mail; however, my husband and I noticed that their U.S. Flag was being flow inappropriately on only one islet. When I arrived at the counter, I address this with Rose who had been working at the post off for years. She immediately told be she would figure out who had put up the flag so that they could take it down, took down my number and told me I would be called when the situation was taken came of. Sure enough, about 1 hour later I was called by the manager of the Post Office to extend her sincerest apologies, told me the flag had been brought down and would investigate to see who had placed the flag and re-train them. I appreciated her for taking the time to address this concern and remediation the situation. The wait time at the post office was typical. Only 2 people at the counter, so it took a bit to get seen, but service was excellent. read more

I put in a change of address 2 weeks b4 we left Ca. and moved to AZ. I needed some meds that I'm not supposed to stop suddenly. After 4 calls and 2 weeks later, still no meds. I had to reorder and this time bypassing seaside po.. they were here in TWO DAYS! NEXT... Ordered an item on ebay, carrier took it upon himself to mark as undeliverable instead of forward. , that still is out in limbo SOMEWHERE in Texas??? Can you morons not understand the word "FORWARD TO NEW ADDRESS?" It's unfortunate that USPS has a kind of monopoly to package flow and this yelp rating will have zero effects on the service because we are stuck with their inefficiency. Makes me wonder if the carrier is on MY meds. read more

A friendly post office with drive up mail boxes up front, full service postal services inside and post office boxes for rent. PO Boxes are $30 for 6 months and the prices gets a little cheaper when you pay farther in advance. Hours when postal services are available are shorter than when the building is open so expect to come in between about 9am-5pm. They are closed entirely on Sunday. This place is always busy! read more

Sylvia is a machine!!! She is fast, pleasant, informative...just unbelievable. This location needs a stamp machine to minimize the wait in line and access to forms (application for PO Box, etc). read more

The worst experience in my life don't trust nobody on this post office a bunch of crooked stili nobody has done anything at this location in seaside They just stole my package can't believe the lady still working there Can't believe they stole my son Present for his 15 birthday But this is not over till l prove everybody what I'm telling you it's the truth read more

Just received a email they couldn't deliver mail at 7:06 pm today. Funny he never came to our apts at that time. My husband was working out front at that time 10 ft from the mail boxes. He never came because we still have mail that was going out on top. Same old same. read more

UnAmerican: Seaside Postmaster Refuses to Abide by US Law and Honor Former President Bush Pathetic Leadership from this so-called Postmaster! Despite the direction given in US Flag Code Title 4 law, and the despite specific guidance in a proclamation from the Executive Branch, the Postmaster at the Seaside Post Office has recently refused to fly the US flag at half-staff through 30 December to honor the passing of former President George H.W. Bush. As of Friday, 21 Dec, at 1000, Postmaster Wes Stephens (who cowardly refused to provide his full name to me) had been flying the US flag at full-staff in violation of US law and direction from the Executive Branch. When I stopped at the Post Office to complain on Thursday the 20th, the postmaster's staff informed me they knew the flag should be at half-staff, but the postmaster told them to keep it raised to full-staff. This had been going on for several days, apparently. When I stopped by the PO this morning on Friday at 0900 to discuss directly with him, he said he had received no direction from his superiors to lower the flag to pay proper respects to the former US President--even though EVERY OTHER Post Office on then peninsula was complying with the law! I handed him a copy of the 1 Dec 18 President's proclamation and a copy of the US Flag Code showing that the flag is displayed at half-staff for 30 days to honor the passing of any living or former President. He told me, "I don't take instructions from customers." I asked him why he refused to, when every other Post Office on Monterey peninsula was flying their flags at half-staff and he replied with great irritation at being asked, that he thought it was only to be done for 3 days and, again, he never received any instruction from his superiors. He was clearly agitated that anyone would question him, and he made it equally clear he had no intent of making the effort to even find out if he was wrong. So, I called the Postmaster at Marina Post Office and asked him if he had received any instructions on how to display the flag in honor of former President. He was incredulous that I even had to ask if his flag was at half-staff. He said, "Oh yes! We have been instructed to fly the flag at half staff through the 30th of this month." I asked him if he could call Wes Stephens and convey the proper information to the Seaside Postmaster. He said he would, so perhaps by the time I post this, Postmaster Wes Stephens will be compelled to place the flag in its proper position through the 30th of December and then, beyond. Nonetheless, I am extremely disappointed by the reluctant behavior and stance of this Postmaster to ignore the requirement to properly honor US law, the Executive Branch, and former President Bush and his family. He should be fired for intentionally not performing one of the most honorable duties that he is sworn to conduct. I urge you to join me when I say the Seaside PO will get NONE of my business in the future. I will not spend another dime to support this Postmaster. WTB read more

The Seaside, CA post office is pathetic. This P.O. is why people want a privatized company handling the mail. My mail carrier THROWS my packages on a daily bases and doesn't care. I've called the PO and they said they would talk to him...he does it again. Absolutely pathetic read more

I'm just wondering why some days my mail doesn't get picked up ? I put it out in the morning before eight, knowing the mail usually gets picked up between 3 and 4 ,but just in case. I just checked it at 7:45 pm and the flag is still up and my outgoing is still there. Bills don't get paid it it doesn't make it before the oh shit date. I dropped off mail a few weeks ago at the post office because it didn't get picked up for 2 days. Epic fail. It took 11 days for discover card to get it and I got a late charge. read more

Went in yesterday and spoke to someone who said they could get me in to do passport paperwork. Called them today and the man said they didn't have any appointments till Monday. When I said it was an emergency because I was flying in a couple days he laughed. Terrible customer service. read more

This post office is horrible! Don't ever request next day service from a merchant to be delivered to your post office box, it takes at least TWO days for it to be sorted and delivered or found. I've gone back later in the day to see if an important package I'd been waiting for has been sorted, and it's still not ready. I would like to know what the criteria is for leaving packages in the lockers in the lobby? Especially when one has paid for overnight shipping? They are chronically short staffed with long lines that stretch out the doors into the lobby, and phone calls are rarely returned. This is a bad example for a vibrant and growing city. I hate retrieving my packages. This facility is a joke. read more

The staff are good. Someone else already hit on the main problem--the parking lot is tricky. I'll explain: The parking lot is a one-way street. There isn't a turning lane to get into it, no matter which direction you're coming from. It's tough to safely get in if you're turning left. Traffic behind you will back up. The natural inclination (from either direction) is to turn at the light...but this will put you at the parking lot exit, not the entrance. If you're from around here, the best way to get in is actually from Olympia Ave. Take the alley's to the SW corner of the parking lot read more

The most friendly Post Office I have ever been to. I arrived a few moments before the "store" portion opened, but they did peek out and ask me if I was there to pick up a package. And, of course when they did open, they quickly and politely processed my order. Wish all post offices were like this! read more

Worst manager ever! I went in to complain about not receiving my mail for a while a month! And I had to wait to speak to her for 1hour. She finally comes out and tells me all these lame excuses and that she will contact the carrier? And was going to follow up but she never did. All my mail has been returned to the sender and it's been a month! I call the 1800 number and was on hold for 1hour this place is ridiculous! Not helpful at all read more

WTF! They are doing horrible service! I shipped vitamins to my friend in China a month ago. It was cost me $50 dollars and there is no one can tell me where the package is now! WTF! They told me that I didn't ask for insurance that I only can report a lost package, but I can't file a claim! If I can't get a claim why I should report a lost! RLG! read more

Soo friendly, the staff is very patient and helpful!! Parking can be tough and sometimes there is a wait but totally worth it!

What can i say this place is great. The staff have always greeted me with a smile and are super nice and actually go out of their way to let you know the best way to ship something that will cost you the min amount. Ive been to other post offices and the staff always seem miserable, not here.. read more
