Did get my package eventually. There is hope that you will get your package too. It arrived unopened as well so praise the Lord there .

Why is no one picking up the phone,i haven't received any mail all month long what's going on? I got bills and other pending things in the mail that I should of received weeks ago read more

After seeing the nightmare wait at the Downey location we decided to head to this location to mail out something for the IRS. I urged my girlfriend to get certified mail because you never know. And sure enough it is a day after the letter should have been delivered and it is still on transit. The location itself had zero wait which was surprising on a Saturday, but now I know why. Thankfully we have the letter certified with a date so the government entity knows when we delivered it. I read some reviews about people saying the sorting facility or something is the problem, well whatever it is there should be a complete overhaul of the way things are ran and the personnel working there. What an inconvenience and disregard for people having to conduct business via snail mail. read more

I bought a package back about a week ago or so, so did my buddy same day. Then my buddy received his within a week and a half, my purchase was stuck in Bell Gardens and it's still there, hasn't moved. After doing some research I realized that that postal office in Bell Gardens has been losing & damaging packages and I hope mine wasn't caught in the mix But I'm sure I'm a victim now This Sucks!! read more

I would give them Zero tasting if I could. I sent my girlfriend who lives in Budapest a package for the holidays. It contained some clothing items that I can never find again. I paid $100 to send it. After 2 months I didn't hear anything, then in February I received notice that it was being processed thru Swaziland. I was dumbfounded to say the least. I know she will never get her package that I sent back in November, cuz I'm sure that someone in Swaziland is wearing her stuff. I have lost my money and time dealing with USPS. Never again will I send anything using them. read more

Well. It's been 2 weeks since my package arrived at this facility. It was supposed to arrive in Illinois on the 15th. I hope I get it at some point...and NOT opened or damaged. Oh boy. EDIT/UPDATE: I never received this package. I had to contact the seller of the item I purchased and they had to send another one using FedEx to bypass this catastrophe of a post office. read more

USPS - It's been sitting there for two weeks now. - Post Offices Near Me - Bell Gardens, California

GET YOUR PACKAGES SCANNED. 7 packages dropped off two weeks ago and NOT A SINGLE PACKAGE has been scanned. Called about it and I was told why I did not wait in line I responded your staff asked if anyone had prepaid packages to hand it over to them. So as a trusting person, I handed them over to the clerk. and they put them behind the counter. So here I am sending emails and partial refunds to customers due to this. I get it we are in a pandemic but scan the packages. At least people would be aware their mail is going to be delivered later than expected but it is in possession of USPS. It makes the seller look like we never shipped the item. read more

My package has been stuck at Bell Gardens since Mar. 10, 2018. That's almost one month ago! I see lots of packages getting lost here. What is going on at this processing center?

According to the teller , if you want to apply for a passport at this location . It's between 10:30 - 12:30 IF the passport person comes to work that day. No wonder the US postal service is about to become extinct . On the bright side , the tax payer won't be paying for their pension read more

Anything shipped to me that ends up going thru bell garden sorting facility comes up missing?!?! Are the movies and add I purchased getting stolen at this facility?? That place definitely needs to be investigated! How can this place get away with this. It seems I'm not the only one with stolen package complaints. That place should be shut down !!! read more

I'm literally still at this post office as I type this review. The lady working at the blue door, not only looks like she just woke up and came to work.. mascara all over her under eyes and tagging along a BAD, BAD attitude. As I wait for my turn, I listen to how she talked to the previous costumers and let me tell you that I had to bite my lip to not tell her anything. Then my turn came up, she said my package wasn't here when she didn't even bother asking my name or tracking number. Oooooookay! If you don't feel like working, don't show up! Don't take it out on costumers. And to my knowledge, they don't get pay pennies here. Turns out my package "got delivered" but never was! Another package stolen! read more

To put your mind at ease....... I just shipped a USPS Media Mail package from San Jose, CA to Chicago which when through this facility. It took only 5 today in total, which is faster than the estimated 7 day for Media Mail. 7"x7"x3" Package arrived in perfect condition. read more

What is wrong with this post office? My package arrived 8 days ago and still sits there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time to fire some people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I order quite a few items online. And no matter how they are shipped (fedex, ups, usps, etc) if for some reason the shipping route calls for it.... and i cant see why because every package i get from here is stuck for at least 4 days. When it does end up here it seems to get misplaced for quite a while and come through with a really damaged box to the point where you know they ripped it to inspect the contents. My theory is that it isnt easy for them to outright steal packages so I think they put it in a corner (which is when the tracking stops), then slowly get to pushing on the seams of the box to make it rip along the edges, and inspect the merchandise to see if it is worth stealing. And apparently this post office is so notorious for theft and awful service that in the tracking they had changed the name to usps regional distribution center los angeles to throw us off. I think we should do something to shut them down all together. P.s. my review would be zero stars if it were an option read more

I am afraid. I had my package scheduled to be redelivered, as it was sent to my old address, and I asked to have it sent to the correct one. When I checked the tracking number and it told me it was sent to Bell Gardens in Los Angeles, I was confused. Why would they send my package from the Palmdale USPS facilities (the place where I AM) to Los Angeles (the place where I'm NOT)? But I digress. Googling this place and finding the horrific Yelp reviews has caused my stomach to drop. I don't believe in God, but I just might start praying, because this place must be run by devils. I'll update on the course of this adventure... If there are any updates at all. **UPDATE AUGUST 7TH, 2016: My package was out for delivery on the 6th. I was relieved. It left Bell Gardens, and seemed to be on its way back to its proper destination in Palmdale! Of course, my hope was short-lived. Today, I was updated that it is now in Las Vegas. Yes. Good. That is exactly where I am (That's definitely not where I am. An entire state away, actually). I'm going to call tomorrow and see what the heck is going on in this circus town. **UPDATE AUGUST 13TH, 2016: My package arrived to me without an update of impending delivery to my phone. The box appeared (relatively) unscathed along with the book inside being perfectly fine. I'm speechless. I expected much worse. However, the fact that it left my state to take a scenic vacation in Nevada was still quite unnecessary. Overall, I was supposed to receive my package on July 29th, and instead received it on August 13th. In the end, watch out for this place. They send your packages on scenic vacations around the nation. read more

Get your receipt!!! I was standing in line with 6 packages when one of the workers came out asking who had packages with Pre shipped labels. I responded and she took my packages without giving me a receipt. It's been over a week and one of the packages hasn't been scanned so I'm unable to track it. I've been back several times asking for answers and they give me the run a round. The only answer I got was " you should of got a receipt " =[ Well if I would of know that they weren't going to do their job I would of got one. Lesson learned !! read more

They don't deserve even one star, can yelp please have below negative ratings?!!!!! My package says it's "in transit to destination".............7 DAYS AGO to date!!!! So ridiculous! Did the delivery person lose their sense of direction or took the package for themselves???!! I cannot believe there are numerous complaints about this postal office and nothing has improved nor has this place closed down! Why even be open if considered it being a black hole where anything that gets processed through this location will NEVER be seen??? DELIVER MY PACKAGE YOU THIEVES!!!! read more

Funny! This is how I found all six trash barrels here on Friday, Saturday, and tonight! Pulled out about one hundred thirty magazines since Friday night! Funny thing though! The DUMBployees here usually dump the trash all day long and one time more as to the last DUMBployee out! Because of me! The DUMBployees still don't get it! People come into postal lobbies 24/7 to get their mail out of their P.O. Boxes to get their mail! Many trash what they do not take! Lots if magazines of all kinds! This is the sixth time I have found the barrels like this since 2001 when this post office opened here! Hey! DUMBployees! Keep up the lousy work! More for me and whoever else looks in your trash barrels! read more

Here's an update on what happened with my package. After waiting a while I finally received it, however, it was in horrible condition and clearly had been opened. After looking inside the package, it was clear someone had ripped open the gift wrapping of some of the presents (pictures included). Only some were like this, not all. The complete disregard for the items and package in general is horrible. Luckily, the more expensive items were camflauged inside other, "less desirable" item packaging. If they had seen something expensive, I'm sure they would have just taken it. read more

So who is doing anything to investigate all of these internally stolen packages?

My package is also stuck in this Bell Gardens, CA "black hole". Has anyone had any luck? Advice? Suggestions? Did any of your packages ever show up much later, or will they never come? I did file a complaint with USPS Office of Inspector General at www.uspsoig.gov but I'm sure they have received many for Bell Gardens & do nothing... Has anyone found a phone #? Even my friend that works at a different USPS can't get a # on them... Please let me know if anyone has had any luck or packages come later. Thank you read more

Okay, kind of weird to be reviewing a post office, but I had a really good experience here. I was trying to mail out my wedding invitations (brag), and considering it is the holiday season, I expected to have to wait forever for help. But actually, someone called me up to the counter right away, weighed the envelope, and a second employee helped me pick the most festive stamps for the invites. They then directed me to where to drop them off, and they were received by some guests the next business day! Overall, I had a lot of help here and would come here again for all my shipping needs. read more

Worst CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! Came here to ship a package. As I was looking for a appropriate box for the already printed shipping label, a lady came up to me and asked if I needed help, I said yes I do. She directed me to what box was best. Anyways after waiting forever in line with like only 2 people in front of me, the lady didn't even greet me. I gave her my package, and the shipping label, and she told me I had to "straighten it out". She gave my rudely a tape and told me to move to the side. Mind you, I've gone to the DOWNEY post office multiple times and they usually help me out taping the label. And then she looked at the box and told me that I got the wrong box and that I needed to pay. I told her that other lady gave me this box. And she said "the other lady is new she doesn't know what she's doing." What the FUCK? How am I responsible for her? How was I supposed to know she was new? Um bitch please. I walked out of there. Wasted 40 min of my life read more

AVOID THIS PLACE!!! Wish I could give this location ZERO stars!!! Customer service is HORRIBLE, but that's the least of my concerns. The worst part about this place is the DISCRIMINATORY attitude they hold against Spanish speaking customers. My mother (Spanish speaker) went in to ask why our mail wasn't being delivered and the employee completely disregarded her concerns and told her there's nothing they can do. HOWEVER, when I went in and brought this up to their attention they completely denied discriminating against her. I don't know if they've realized this, but they are serving a predominantly Latinx community. Completely absurd. read more

Obviously I'm not the only one that has a problem with packages being stolen out of this Bell Gardens post office! I shipped a package on December 16 from Dallas Texas to Whittier California, should have arrived on Thursday, December 23 but never did. I tracked it online and it sat in Bell Gardens for five/six days!!!! Finally it was delivered Tuesday December 27th..after Christmas.. When my mother opened the box all the gifts were ALL stolen and replaced with a bag of oats! Who in the hell does that?! On top of that somebody at the post office slapped another label on top of mine saying that it shipped from Vegas!!! This makes no sense, definitely something going on at that post office, investigation needed!!!! I went to the Dallas post office and they said it sounds like an inside job at the Bell Gardens post office and I should call consumer affairs. read more

Are you kidding me? It's gone back and forth to Florida but never made it even close to its final destination in Nokomis, FL. Who is running the post office? Smurfs, Keeblers, little Santa elfs??

Lied said couldn't get to mail box which is in the open anyone can get to the mailboxes. Now I'm stuck waiting on my sim card

Bought some second hand books from Ebay, when it arrived at Bells Garden, CA, I googled it for searching the location, then this page was the first thing showed up. (I didn't even type USPS, just the location itself) I freaked out after reading everyone's reviews and prayed every single day, luckily, I received the package. (so if your package is in bells garden, don't give up hope!!!) However, the box is teared/cut on both sides (see photos below) and did not even get retaped, so anyone could see the items in the box. The tape outside the box clearly got teared, because they were messy and not sticky anymore. (I guess someone tried to tear them, but didn't work, so cut the box?) I just double checked with the seller, and she/he claimed that she/he used the new box, I believed that, because the box inside looks new and clean. I guess because my stuff is not that valuable so I got luck... read more

Months later, after multiple complaints and after filing a report on the contents of my box, I received in the mail a perfectly removed address label from my package that some employee there had taken great care to remove and tape over. There is no possible way that the address label just magically came off like that. This is the scam they run, as stated by many other reviews here. They tell you your address label came off and that your box is now just floating around lost. Then, I'm assuming, the post office employees just dump all of your belongings into a pile and have a free for all rummaging through it, taking what they want and dumping the rest. This place needs to be sued. There should be a class action lawsuit and if anyone wants to take charge and make that happen I will gladly join. These assholes stole my childhood memories from me and i'll never get them back. read more

My mail carrier sucks and this facility has done nothing to fix it. Where do I began. There has been a few times where I've gotten the mail from the person a block over with the same numerical address as me but different street. I think that is totally unacceptable . I've gotten my neighbors mail on a few occasions. But the true list of my complaints began below. The first complaint was my drivers license was lost in the mail and after having the DMV confirm that it was sent the only answer from the Post Office was," Your mail carrier confirm they deliver whatever they had the DMV may be lying. " Second complaint my IRS refund check never made it to my house. You want to guess what response I got ," Your mail carrier confirm they deliver whatever they had the IRS is mistaken and didn't send it out. " Third complaint. My baseball tickets never arrived and now its a whole other headache to straighten this situation out with ticket-master. With customer service like this and poor production quality this is a prime example on why our postal service is failing. read more

Same story as everyone else. Even my local post office in San Diego calls this place the 'black hole.' They currently have my watch, due to be delivered - wait for it - 3 days ago. Still stuck there. It's the Bermuda Triangle of Post Offices and sorting facilities. Senders be ware. The advice in which Nick D mentioned earlier - to use Fedex or UPS - those companies now use this new cost saving method of delivering your packages to your city, THEN handing that package off to the local USPS for delivery of the last leg. This is what happened to my package with UPS. With UPS, it can be called either UPS BASIC or UPS Mail Innovations. If this happens to you, be prepared to wait. All that aside, stay away from the Black Hole. The likelyhood of your packages being lost or distributed to the wrong location are high compared to normal standards. read more

I shipped a book I sold on amazon (JUNE 24,2016) and unfortunately it ended up here & "is gone". It's been there for 2 months now and no update. I called the 1800 number and they basically told me "too bad you didn't buy insurance". So Amazon pays me $3.00 to ship a book and I Have to cough up extra $$ to buy insurance? Screw this. I saw the reviews on this website and my stomach basically flipped because another item I shipped through amazon is here now....going on 1 week. I AM SERIOUSLY WORRIED!! I am pretty sure the people who work there have a free for all and just STEAL mail here. What can a consumer do?! I paid all that money for shipping and now have to refund people $20 here and there due to the incompetence of this facility. If your package comes here just PRAY!!! That's all one can do that the criminals that work here don't steal your SH*T! Tracking #USPS: 9449011899563213549815 , no UPDATES as of June 25th, and today it's August 15...*CRY* read more

I had a package shipped to me from over seas, and I was extremely excited about it arriving to me. I was checking the tracking number every 30 minutes or so hoping for an update. When I notice my package had arrived to Bell Gardens, I wasn't sure where that was, so I googled it, and noticed it had a 1 star review on yelp. This made me extremely nervous, and I read review after review basically telling the same story over and over. Calling it the black hole, packages getting lost or stolen, or shipped across country only to arrive back at Bell Gardens. I now thought that I would never receive my package, and all hope was lost. But I waited, and in a few short hours after my package had arrived at Bell Gardens, it had been shipped out of Bell Gardens. My package arrived safe and sound in San Diego only 1 hour after it had left Bell Gardens. Total sorting time at Bell Gardens only took 5 hours. I realized people would only take the time to write a negative review about a postal sorting facility, because I'm sure this place sees thousands of packages a day, and a few get messed up, but most do not. I was very excited to receive my package, and after reading all the horrible reviews about Bell Gardens on Yelp, I thought it would never arrive. But it arrived safe and sound, without any problems, so I felt the need to hopefully calm the nerves of anyone who has stumbled across the Bell Gardens sorting facility and thought they would never see their package. Below is just a section of my packages' journey, that went trough the bell gardens location.

I ship packages from Orange County and Long Beach, CA and they always end up going to this sorting facility. Mail seems to get stuck in Bell Gardens for days, being scanned over and over for 3-4 days before finally departing. This had been happening for years. I definitely notice the delay here is worse when sending a box than it is mailing an envelope. In general, envelopes seem to leave here within a day. Occasionally I sell on eBay and Amazon and having shipments sit in Bell Gardens or disappear can really hurt me as a seller. I'd love to here from any locals if there's a post office location I can ship from where my mail would go to another sorting facility. I'd gladly go out of my way (within reason) to ensure my items get shipped promptly and get to my customers. read more

UNBELIEVABLE After this terrible experience I now completely understand why the USPS is a dying industry. And frankly, I'm glad. Not only is my package missing (probably gone forever) but try giving USPS a call and see if you can speak to a human representative. Go ahead, give it a try. See how far you get with that one. After hours of getting nowhere with the robots on the other line, I decided to make a trip to another USPS location ( and figure out what the hell is going on with my package that has been "at" Bell Gardens for the past 11 days. Only information I received from the worthless employees were the same phone numbers I'd been using all morning, with the same automated messages. After calling the Bell Gardens Police Department (in complete desperation) I was finally provided with a phone number to the USPS Investigation Office, so at least I've talked to a human being about my issues. But, I'm sure my package is "lost" forever. I would have never thought a Post Office could be this shady and have this type of reputation. So USPS, thanks for nothing. Last time I will ever be using your services. From this day on I will make every effort I can to avoid shipping or mailing with USPS. And I'll be the first one celebrating when the last post office closes its doors. The fact that you can't even speak to anyone when you have a problem shows how much they care. So see if I care when you all lose your jobs. PS- One star = -50,000000 Stars in my book. A**holes. read more

Avoid this place at all cost. Use a different post office or FedEx or UPS. I had a package arrive at the bell gardens post office on 10/22/2013 and it FINALLY left that post office on 10/28/2013, over 5 days of my package sitting at the post office. This package was suppose to arrive to me in Missouri on 10/28/2013, it finally arrived to me on 11/01/2013. There were 2 complaints filed in regards to this package, one by me and one by the seller. I contacted the 800# and sat on hold for over 20 minutes to get basically know where besides the basic information of name, address and shipping number because of the communication barrier. If you are stuck on using this post office and are using it to ship something of value make sure you insure it for your protection. read more
