US Post Office

This is my favorite PO. The people are fast and friendly and the lines are not too long. It’s a very convenient full service satellite although they don’t do passport photos.

This is the best post office ever (in the best town in the World). Love the two guys that work here who are always happy, friendly, and helpful! They should be teaching classes to every other postal worker.

Best post office I’ve ever been to! Guys who work here are so friendly and and happy! Great small town vibe! I never dread going to this post office.
(ps– avoid the Encinitas one like the plague!!)

2 stars because I think the lady was new and she was really trying to help me out. But it took me almost an hour and a half to find everything that was needed from me to send. (It was international express) Good thing I had nothing to do because I didn’t realize it took that long till I left! It was pretty busy though and at times I knew she was feeling overwhelmed so I stepped to the side a couple of times for the people who were in line already.
I wish they had more people to help her. When she had questions, I remember her going to the back and asking some guy back and forth literally 9 times. Then towards the end when the line shortened, he came out?! That irritated me a bit.
I ended up spending $ 60 bucks for express international which is pretty crazy but that’s probably normal? Not sure. I’ll probably not come here again but since it’s super close to my job, I may be forced to, but hopefully they have more people helping out.

I spend about 15 minutes in line at this post office. I noticed that the female clerk was making molasses look like an Olympic-​class racing prospect. «I hope I don’t get that lady,» I thought to myself. She was serving one customer while her colleague buzzed through about four or five people.
Unfortunately, when she got around to finishing up with her customer, it was my turn.
She refused to sell me postage for a priority mail envelope. She had a ton of excuses. I told her that I frequently buy postage for priority mail envelopes, and that I am capable of following all the rules as far as using the correct protocol to drop off a package. Despite my sincere efforts to establish my expertise in this matter, she stalwartly refused to sell me the postage.
I then had to wait for the other clerk to make my request. It’s a little unorthodox to ask for stamps for a priority mail package but he made it happen. This man, and unfortunately I didn’t get his name, is a credit to the United States Postal Service. A hero!
The lady clerk probably should have gone into a different line of work. Sadly, she’s probably sticking it out for her pension much to the detriment of all the Cardiff post office customers. :-(

This post office is the antithesis of going postal. While most post office experiences are not unlike the crusty ol’ DMV, Cardiff is the «Cheers» of POs. The guys are super friendly (always excited for me when I have a package) and I always feel very taken care of. There’s a sweet, small-​town vibe just like the rest of our lovely Cardiff. Thanks gents, you make this PO the awesomeness that it is!

Tucked away on the street behind Seaside Market.

Today I called and asked to speak with a carrier supervisor regarding a priority parcel I had sent to my daughter for Valentines Day, the tracking said it was delivered the day before. I mixed up the apt number and was in a panic because I did not insure it for it’s value of 300.00. The person I spoke with on the phone Tim or Jim sorry I can’t remember his name, was so incredibly nice and helpful even though they were so busy. He found the t6 on the route the day before and got right back to me with the info we needed to find the package! I also work at a Post Office and I know how annoying these phone calls can be. It really made me step back and think about how important it is to be kind and helpful no matter what! I tried to call back several times to thank him but the phone line was busy. Thank you so much! I hope you read this!

This post office had no line when I went to buy some stamps in an unusual denomination. Despite the slightly odd nature of the request, the person behind the counter found what I was looking for quickly and I was out the door in just a few minutes.

Maybe I just don’t go in very often so I’m not one of the «locals»
Went in today to mail a letter. 1 person in line, one being helped and one postal worker. While I’m waiting another postal worker walks in talking and laughing with someone. Tells her to wait at the end of the line and goes behind the counter and calls her up and helps her before me and the other person waiting. Fairly lame. I went to postal annex and mailed my letter.

I hate post offices. I hate the dmv. I hate government workers.
I like this post office. They treat you with kindness and don’t act like they’re more superior than you just because they get to wear a uniform.
I love how small this place is and how that doesn’t mean they don’t have everything that other post offices have (double negative = they DO have everything here).

These guys have saved my ass a few times!
Yay for small, local post offices.

This is the cutest little post office with the nicest postal workers. Russ and Eve have been here for years and they know the locals names which is cool. Makes you feel like you live in a small town. They aren’t opened on Saturdays and don’t have all the bells and whistles of the larger Post Offices but it has such good energy it make you want to personally post your letters here.
