US Post Office

Good, clean post office, sometimes there is a line but at least it’s earthquake safe.
I would recommend you go inside to mail your stuff, I don’t always trust outside drop boxes.

I realize that less and less of our daily interactions with each other involve the U.S. Postal System, with ever-​advancing technology and social media all around us. But every once in awhile, we have to go to a post office to handle certain business.
This post office just so happens to be the closest to me, and also has a very convenient drive-​through drop off slot for most flat mail. If it’s bulky, I’m afraid you’ll have to find parking, go up the stairs and either give it to a postal worker there or drop it off in the «metered mail» or «stamped mail» slots. They’ve also got P.O. Boxes there, which will remain open even if the main area is closed.
The workers generally seem to look and act like they’ve had it with everyone. RBF’ing is very commonplace there, and unless you give them a reason to smile, they usually won’t. I guess that’s to be expected at all post offices, right? Anyway, they’re pretty helpful though, if you happen to need some at that very moment.
The times when it’s busiest there happen to be during tax time and the holidays, obviously. And considering that it’s a smaller post office, the lobby can fill up quickly with lots of impatient patrons who might end up annoying you. So consider that when coming to this particular Post Office branch. Otherwise, I have no qualms about coming here.

The WORST! The office is a nightmare line is always off the hook.
No pens laid out anywhere? When I went to the counter the lady was so rude she literally didn’t even make I contact she said I don’t have one ask him. Like you don’t have a pen? At a post office? Give me a break lady.
They are RUDE not just that time but every time they should be fired I’m not even kidding.
Today was the final straw that’s why I’m writing this my mailman is old he shouldn’t even be working as a mailman he ALWAYS loses my packages and today I’m sure he gave my package to one of my neighbors who is not giving it up. I’m extremely upset that this happens so often. You are dealing with people’s money. The mailman can give me some money or my package next time I see him! Screw this post office

Extremely apathetic and pathetic.
These people including management
should remain on monthly evaluation.
The aptitude and performance values
are very dim in Vallejo.
Extremely important mail or large sums
of money should not be mailed here!!!

Worse than the DMV. Staff is extremely rude, and have no sense of urgency with a long line. I was given a notice to pick up my package at the office, and after going there, I was told to come back on Monday because they didn’t have it yet, without one person even checking the back for it.
Update: Came back on Monday, and of course they lost my package.

Amazingly efficient post office with nice clerks. Even when the line is long, it moves fast. Big and clean.

I have lived at my current address for 38 years and I have never complained about the mail service until now. Mail is being delivered to my home between 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Monday to Saturday for several months. I have not had good mail service since my regular carrier transferred about 2 years ago to a better route. I spoke to the Station Manager at the Admiral Callaghan Post Office today and she was rude and didn’t want to listen to my additional complaints of the last two years of poor service. She said they are short handed and I should have a regular carrier by the first week of April. I hope she is correct and that I will receive better mail service by then.

Apparently they make their own hours at this post office. Their website indicates they close at 4pm on Saturday but according to them they close at 3, and have taken the liberty to scrape their Saturday closing hours off the door.

I waited in line to pick up my package and it was about an hour. 15 min later the lady nonchalantly said she can’t find it. Not even apologizing. Just told me to fill out a paper and her supervisor will call me. It’s been a couple of days and still no call. The horrible part is knowing I have to wait in that horrible line again. And it’s so cramped I there like sardines! …and some people smell., what can I say I have sensitive nose.

Slow service. Surly clerks.
Their website is out of date: Saturday, closes at 3:00. Weekdays, now closes at 5:00.
This sub-station’s self-​service machine is always out of order.
Bottom line: another sub-​par service in Vallejo. Typical.

I like that this post office is open til 6 pm. O did see a sign on door saying they will be changing hours to 5 pm soon though. I use this office to mail items out a few times a month. I have never had to wait too long even when crowded, it was reasonable. The postal clerks have always been courteous to me and they will make friendly small talk with out tying up the wait in line.

I don’t really go to the US Post Office that often. When I do, it’s usually when I need big deliveries done or buy stamps. However, the staff is friendly and helpful. I don’t mind the long lines because I know they are just assisting customers and making sure their packages are delivered safely and promptly.

Can’t believe I am going to write this — about a USPS office — as going to the post office is one of the top five things I hate to do in life. Had to mail some important documents off and this USPS office is one of the few open on a Saturday. About six people were in line before me, however, there were three windows open (Yes. You read correctly. Three) and the line was moving at a surprisingly pleasant pace. And, this USPS office is probably one of the cleanest ones I have ever been in, and I have gone to a good number of them. If I should ever be cursed by having to go to the USPS again, I may make the drive out there again.

I will only come to this post office again if it is absolutely necessary. I brought a book to ship and asked the employee what the cheapest way possible to ship it would be. I had the book outside of the packaging that I brought. He told me to fill out a flat rate envelope and made me lose my spot in line to do so. After filling it out I had to get back in line, which is notoriously long at this location. I paid and left only to come home and do some research to find out that they offer media mail specifically for books, DVDs, CDs, etc. It is the cheapest option, which I asked and was not told. I would have saved more than 50% in shipping charges had he informed me of this method. I understand why they do not advertise this option because it is dirt cheap, but if someone shows them a book and has their own packaging tell them about media mail!!! You just lost a customer.

I think I single handedly TRY to keep the post office in business. I really love mailing cards and primarily only go to weigh things and see what new, pretty stamps are in. But, goodness GRACIOUS I hate having to wait for anything at this branch. I’ve had to wait for P.O. Box related transactions before and am a pretty patient chick, but the lines are ALWAYS long. I try to go at off peak times to avoid them but somethings are unavoidable. Otherwise, the people who work there are pleasant. i just wish they would have more than two people working when the line is almost out of the door…

Counter service a joke. Overall the Postal Service s in great trouble as a result of excessive waste and salaries for most supervisor and administrative positions. In short supervisors are milking the clock to death. Truck transport drivers sit in docks for hours on the clock watching TV, playing computer games, on their cell phones, texting and the like while loaders fill trailers. In need of a MAJOR MANAGEMENT SALARY OVERHAUL.

Ummmmmm… it’s the US Post Office. It’s conveniently located off I80. The line for sending packages can sometimes get long along with the wait. The employees are not the friendliest but not rude.

Sometimes the lines are long and the staff a bit unfriendly.

Avoid this post office at all cost!
Three of the four window clerks who work at this post office are extremely rude, unhelpful and make shipping a chore. (The young guy is the nice one. I guess he hasn’t gone postal yet.)
For example, I wanted to ship a package internationally, but made the mistake of using a label that was originally inteded for priority mail. I had cut off the top of the label so it no longer said priority mail. All that was visible was the white shippiing label. The window clerk notified me (with a snotty attitude) that she was «refusing» to ship the packcage because even though the label no longer had the blue priority strip, she could tell that it was originally a priority label and couldn’t accept it. C’mon…refusing…really?
(BTW, I took the same package to the post office downtown on Santa Clara and the clerk was friendly and actually helped me re-​label the package so that I could send it out according to post office rules.)
Also, I used to have a P.O. Box at this post office. They are supposed to give you two keys when you open the box, but they only had one key, so they only gave me one key. Of course, I lost my one key. I know, it was my fault that I lost the key, but I expected them to replace it in a timely manner. I waited 5 months for them to replace the key. Let me repeat that. I waited 5 MONTHS… They never replaced the key. There was always some excuse about how the box clerk wasn’t available or how they were waiting for a new key. Eventually, I just closed my box because I would have to wait in their long lines everytime I wanted to get my mail.
I suggest going to the post office on Santa Clara downtown by the waterfront. They no longer have the long lines that they used to and have been successful at improving their customer service.

Back in High School, most of the Sophomore girls I knew picked typing class as one of their two electives for the year. It wasn’t so much because it was the first year we could take it, or that it was fun. We took it because the football coach taught it and he was about 32 and the most gorgeous specimen we’d ever laid eyes on. Looking back now, he was quite a flirt too.
This class should have been an easy A, right? Nah, not for me. The keys had no letters and once teachie-​poo took down the «QWERTY» cheat sheet banner, I totally lost interest. It wasn’t so much the key memorization that bothered me. It was having to continuously start over when you screwed up so bad even the freshest bottle of white out couldn’t fix the mess.
Almost every day, the head cheerleader would be at his desk talking his beautiful ear off, while she overly giggled at everything that came out of his mouth. Imagine my surprise when my report card grade was less than stellar. Turns out he was paying attention to the class the whole time and was well aware of how my best friend and I sat in the back with our smuggled-​in walkmans discussing how great our lives will be when we marry Billy Idol and Prince. Go figure!
Thanks to the Internet, I’ve redeemed myself and can actually type at a pretty fast pace without looking! Is this good or bad? Perhaps just a sign-​o-​the times.
Another sign of the times we can thank the Internet for is the total lack of excitement in the good olé snail mail box. Day after day after day, I look and all I find is crap! Bills, bills and more bills. A tie for second is credit card offers and promises of better mortgage rates. Follow it up with smog check coupons and an endless supply of junk mail.
Am I getting old (rhetorical) or what? I’m like my granny now who won’t give up her rotary phone. Long live snail mail!

I love this post office. They are friendly and didn’t throw a fit when my son was about five and pulled the fire alarm. And now, they have a self service machine that allows you to weigh and process your own packages with no wait!
Today, for less than $ 5 bucks, I mailed some Valentine care packages to both of my grandmas. Neither one of them have ever used a computer. I’m hoping when they receive it, they feel as warm and fuzzy as I did when sending them.
Back away from your computers folks and send some snail mail to your loved ones today!
