US Post Office

This post is horrible. I havent received mail in over two weeks. I have gone in several times and no one can tell me why. Ive even had mail returned for no apparent reason. First they said my name wasnt labeled on the box. Then after they labeled it the guy there told me the label wasnt too visible. They told me theyve been getting a lot of complaints from customers about the same thing. There are important documents i haven’t received. As soon as i can I’m going to change locations.

The downtown post office has a new look and new location around the corner of the downtown plaza at 6^th & J Street. When you enter, there is a security guard who greets you and there is a seating lounge with couches and chairs – giving the place a more upscale vibe. During lunch hour, there were several customers waiting in-​line and there was one clerk working the register but I was able to buy my stamps and finish my business within ten minutes. Whenever I’m in downtown and need to buy stamps the downtown post office will be my place to go.

This is for the ultra-​slow service. Honestly, put a stamp machine in the place!!! Don’t tell me it gets broken into — how is that possible when it is behind locked doors? Not an excuse. You wait forever no matter the amount of stuff you are sending/​buying. Worse service in the world.

I hate going to the post office but after going to three and not being able to find the stamps I wanted for my wedding invitations, I decided to try this one. It’s about 11 blocks away from my work place and it was a much farther walk than I anticipated on a 15 minute break. Nevertheless, it was well worth the time. As soon as I walked I, I could see a long line but the line moved quickly. The guys that worked there were quick, efficient, and extremely helpful. They told me they had the stamps that I wanted and plenty of them! I was so happy! I was able to buy 360 of those stamps and can now cross another thing off my to-​do-​list. Thank you!

I often frequent this post office in order to mail merchandise for my significant other’s business. I’m generally mailing roughly 10 packages per visit, so I feel for the clerk that has to assist me. Luckily, every single clerk at this location is extremely friendly and patient. Generally I’m assisted by a jolly fella by the name of Tim (African-​American guy with glasses). A couple of weeks ago I came with a cart full of packages. Tim saw my load (get your mind out of the gutter), and signaled for me to come to the counter. At this moment, his co-​worker took off for lunch (leaving Tim as the lone clerk). While assisting me, the line grew quickly. He acknowledged each individual in line and informed them that he would assist them as quickly as possible. For individuals who need to see great customer service in action, come to this post office.
My only complaint (and it’s hardly a complaint) is that the parking surrounding the post office is horrendous! Due to the construction of the new Kings arena, a lot of the normally available parking is often occupied by construction equipment/​vehicles. Fortunately, the post office validates parking (for those who use the 24 hour Fitness/​Downtown Plaza parking garage.

Yes this is a real post office. Great friendly service. Saved me from having to drive somewhere. I went there on my jury duty lunch break to mail a package. A little hard to find at first but it is there.

Never thought I’d write a review for a post office, but here I am. To temper expectations, let’s be real, this is a post office. Like any post office, UPS, or Fed Ex, there will be lines. There might be only one person working during your lunch hour. It’s warm in there. But one of the clerks, Tim, deserves a special shout out. He was friendly and funny, and he saved me money by pointing out that I had my mail in a flat rate envelope, but because it was going local (to SF), he swapped it out for the correct one, saving me from mistakenly paying about $ 5 more. He’s great, and I’m happy this post office is close to my office!

I reserved and paid for a PO box online at this post office and brought in the application and two forms of ID that the USPS told me to bring with me to get the keys. The confirmation email indicated that it was my receipt, but DID NOT SAY I NEEDED TO BRING A COPY TO THE POST OFFICE, just the application. When I got to the post office, I was told I needed to go home and print the email otherwise I couldn’t get my PO box I’d paid for. I had it on my phone, but she wouldn’t even look at it. I ended up getting a PO box at another location. Very frustrating!

If you’re in Downtown Sacramento and needing to buy stamps, get a P.O. Box, or mail a letter, this is the place. You would probably never know it was there because there is no sign on the outside of the building, but a sandwich board on the sidewalk to direct you inside. Plus, there is rarely a line due to the lack of signage to let people know it’s there.
It’s located on the corner of J & 6^th Streets, near 24 Hour Fitness. If you work near this area of Downtown, it’s an easy walk on your break.

You would never know it’s here. I found it by address and not by any indicating signs on the building.
It’s a nice building and the post office has a little space in it. You can see it from the entrance. It’s straight back.
I had to pick up a package and I don’t know if it’s always like this but it gets hot in there. It’s a small space and the more people waiting in line— the more heat generated. I’m just glad they didn’t have distinct odors mixing with the hotness.

It’s a post office. The lady working was very nice, however.
