Poorly managed. Under staffed. Every time I go to this location, the lines are long and there's one, maybe two, clerks. Doesn't matter if it's morning, midday, or afternoon.

I've rented a box here for over 15 years. The place is clean and safe, and access to your mail is available 24/7. They are great with the reminders for box renewals, and you can easily pay in line or at the self serve kiosk located in the lobby! Did you know you can list a P.O. box as your address on your drivers license? Yep you can, and it adds some piece of mind if you ever lose your license, or just want to be private! The downfall would be trying to get a library card with your ID. But then again I don't like to read... The staff here are nice. It's not always the fastest service, but I can tell it's because they are giving each customer careful attention, instead of rushing them to move on. The counter hours are sketchy-so make sure you research or call before you go. It's 9:45 AM and it's not open yet. The downfall of this type of postal box is they don't usually take FedEx or UPS shipments in-although one several occasions they did, so YMMV. Yelp 2017 32/100

Waiting for a response.

I've had a post office box here forever. It is open after hours so I can get my mail, very convenient. The staff is so kind.

Many times I just go to the post office to do what I need to do. I don't think staff here are…read moreparticularly friendly or nice but it's not my priority here. 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.

Congratulations, this is both the worst service I have received at any USPS office and the worst…read moreservice I have received anywhere in Pasadena. One lady looked like she should not be interacting with humans at all - no greeting, unwelcoming, rude tone, salty face, and just straight-up bad attitude. The other young lady was having a personal phone conversation on her cell phone the entire time she was serving customers, more focused on the phone conversation than the people in front of her. On top of that, you also don't have a self-service kiosk there so you have to go in and deal with those two. Who's managing these people?

They have a separate pick-up window right next to the kiosk -- just ring the bell and someone actually comes out within minutes. Love that! The location is still the same -- clean enough, plenty of parking, and close to home. It could use a little more lighting at the counter area, but overall, service feels smoother and friendlier than before. I'm still steering clear of renewing my passport here (let's not relive that fiasco ), but for drop-offs and pick-ups, it's been great lately. Nice to see this USPS stepping up its game -- maybe there's hope for the postal service after all!

Probably the worst post office I've been to. Rather than looking for my missing mail they argued with me about it. Not apologetic; they don't have any accountability or take any responsibility. They lost over half my mail while I had it on hold for a week when I was on vacation. And had the nerve to try to gaslight me by just saying I didn't receive anything else... but I get emails daily of what mail will be delivered so I have proof that I had more Mail than they gave me. After requesting that they check again 3x and speaking to the supervisor they finally found ONE piece of mail that I needed.

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.
