US Post Office

The actual post office employees are nice and scan your package and give you a receipt (always get your packages scanned). The mailmen that deliver from this post office are incompetent and which is why I have transitioned to Fedex. They refuse to scan packages on pick up even though it takes 2 seconds to do and even if you provide a SCAN form. The phone line is consistently busy and no one returns promised calls.
FYI: if you can’t find this place, you’re not alone. Basically, park your car in the FedEx/​CVS parking lot. To the right of fedex and the left of Unleased, you’ll see an entry way. Go through that and make a right and the post office is straight ahead. Basically, it’s behind the «Unleashed» store.

Yes it’s a bit hard to find, directly behind Peet’s people, but there’s parking and you can WALK THROUGH the mall and get here in moments. I love the color, found no line, helpful staff who went and tracked down a missing package without giving me shade (not like I lost it on purpose, or even had it) and let me look through the entire book of stamps to pick out my booty.
All together convenient.

Went in to buy postage for my mailings and the lady at the counter kept trying to up charge my postage from .91 each to 2.50 for regular mail. I do this every week for .91 come on now…

I understand the holiday season is tough everywhere, but this has nothing to do with the wait. All I can say is if someone has a question and is explaining the problem you wait until they are finished, you don’t cut them off by saying «Stop, look…» with attitude. Common courtesy is all I’m saying.

This is probably the slowest and rudest PO I’ve been to in SD. No wonder why the post office is struggling financially. I’ll just go to fedex from now on. FU government. You suck!

Easy to get to because it is walking distance from my place, but can be really hard to find if you don’t know you have to walk around to the other side of the building. Which can be good because I rarely have to wait in line here. The staff have always been friendly and I can get in and out quickly with all the rings that I need.

It’s in a convenient location but very hard to find. Drive behind Whole Foods, continue behind CVS, then turn the corner so you’re behind Peet’s, and the Post Office is right there. There’s a little parking lot back here and some businesses have loading docks, but USPS is the only business with its entrance in this area. The good news is, perhaps because it is so hard to find, when I went there was no line at all.

I had a hard time finding it at first, which is why I ended up walking in about 5 minutes before closing time. It’s in the same plaza as Whole Foods and CVS, but is located in the back of the building. If you’re coming from the front parking lot, walk through to the back where Flame Broiler, Rubio’s, etc. is, until you reach the back parking lot, turn right and walk all the way down until you see the Post Office.
I had to quickly ship a small package, and was unsure of the rates and the best option for shipping the package quickly because I didn’t get the chance to do my research online. Even though I had gotten there so close to closing time, the workers were extrememly nice, explained the rates and which type of box would be most suited for what I needed, without being pushy. I would go back to this location again in the future.
–1 star due to the location

Came on a Thursday, Dec. 20, a few days before Christmas expecting it to be crowded. But there was no one in line! People trickled in here and there but the post man, the only one behind the counter, took care of them quickly. Beware that this post office may be challenging to locate for first-​timers. There is no signage to direct you to the post office, which is located in the back of shopping center.

This USPS absolutely positively sucks and is an example of why the USPS is nearly bankrupt.
We dropped off a USPS Express Mail Letter which had guaranteed delivery by noon the next day. At noon the next day it was still sitting at this post office and they finally got off their unionized butts to get it out the door several hours later. The guaranteed next day USPS Express Mail Letter was finally delivered 2 days later.
Thanks idiots.

A little difficult to find. But once you do locate it the staff is friendly and efficient. I had to wait less than 5 minutes to mail my package.

Service is slow as can be and this branch closes at 4 or 430 so don’t plan on going here after work. It is conveniently located however, just the hours suck.

I had a wonderful post office experience when I visited this location. The two people working were both pleasant and helpful. They explained the best mailing options to each customer. I mean they actually took time to explain to each person how they could get the best deal. Despite taking time for customer service, they were surprisingly efficient. I did nit wait long and I accomplished what I needed to without paying too much and I was treated with respect.

I wish there’s more cashier available. The place is too small.

I used them a few times. Every time is a good experience. They act professionally, provide good services and significantly cheaper than FedEX or UPS.
I’d be coming back there a lot :)

This post office is great. I haven’t been here for a few months and I heard they might be closing down. Please tell me it’s not true :(.
I’ve gone here many times to mail out packages and I always get the best service. All of the employees are very friendly and helpful, and they try to make sure I’m getting the best deal. They’ll tell me my options and make recommendations to me so that I can mail out my stuff quicker and/​or cheaper. Sometimes the line gets really long, but I guess that’s to be expected at any post office. I’m glad I live close by so I can go here instead of to UCSD’s awful post office where they have horrible service and always lose my stuff.

This Post Office is as good as they come.
This hole-​in-​the-​wall location is tucked away behind Whole Foods in the Shops at La Jolla Village plaza – not exactly easy to find if you’re not looking for it. Just drive around the back of Whole Foods to find it.
The 3 or 4 front desk employees who work here really know what they’re talking about. I trust them, and, bonus points, they’re really nice. I also find that up-​selling isn’t nearly as vicious or insulting at this location compared to other Post Offices, which I appreciate.
I live in Pacific Beach and work in a different area of La Jolla. This Post Office is several miles out of my way, but it’s the only one I use. I think that says a lot!

It is a very quite place. If you’ve never been here, the chances are you won’t find it. The entrance is in back side of the plaza, but the parking zone is supposed to be in the front of the plaza. Of course many people don’t mind just drive by the building, quickly stop near the building and rush into the post office (I usually do it too).
The staff at this postal office consist of two people or three people at the most, although they are very helpful and nice. Every time when I walk in I see a several people waiting in line. I understand the major utility of this particular office is mail boxes and appreciate their work to solve other issues.
