Today's visit with Wilbur was 5 stars! I'm giving 4 for overall experience with the branch…read more I brought my 2 sons in today for an appointment for passports at 11 am on a Tuesday. We arrived 15 min early and there were only 2 customers in line. This is the time to come as it's usually quite a long line. We approached the window with papers in hand and the tall woman with long black hair asked if we had an appointment and told us to sit down until we were called. Right on time, Wilbur called us to the end window, took our paperwork and asked if I had photocopy of each birth certificate and ID along with the originals. I missed that part of the instructions but he said not to worry I could get copies for a dollar. He took our photos and let us check to make sure they were ok because we would have them for 10 years. That was nice of him to let us check. Entire process took about 30 min but was pretty painless. I had paperwork completed but he needed to verify everything and hand write a section for each of us, then payments to USPS and US dept of State for actual passports for each individual passport. He worked quickly and that was the time it took. I appreciated him being pleasant with us and making sure it was all correct. A very easy process and overall good experience. Otherwise, for general mailing from this branch, I've had good luck when asking for extra priority mail boxes when the rack in the lobby has been empty and overall a smooth process getting through the line. However, once in awhile the desk clerks aren't putting on the happiest face when helping. I get it, I used to work for the Fed Government and sometimes it's just not a great day on the job, but I've found smiling makes an tough day better and others smile back at you. I don't have any major complaints as it's usually pretty efficient, just not always as pleasant as it could be. I did have to deal with management at one point when a mail truck left her mail truck running and it popped out of park and drove into my new car in front of my house. It took months, but eventually got my deductible back with help from management, I've forgotten the gentleman's name as it was over a year ago. Just know the federal government is their own entity so they don't have car insurance like you'd typically deal with.

The parking lot wraps around the back. Looks like it gets gated when the post office is closed with a barb wired gate and metal bars on all the windows. The building is older. Had a Fallout Shelter sign in the backside. This post office is located in downtown Livermore toward the south end. Lots of construction going on in the area. It wasn't too busy when I went by. Was able to use the self serve kiosk pretty quickly.

Cut and pasted from the internet: "Pleasanton" was chosen as…read morethe town's name in the 1860s by John W. Kottinger, an Alameda County justice of the peace, who named it after his friend, Union army cavalry Major General Alfred Pleasonton." Quality/Quantity - We are fairly consistent customers to this city. Mainly to eat and drink and of course, our annual County Fair visits. See all other reviews. If you are following, with the exception of the Apple store in Pleasanton, all my other reviews in this city are 4-5 stars!! Hence the city's overall rating of 4 stars! Cut and pasted from the internet: "In 2005 and 2007, Pleasanton was ranked the wealthiest middle-sized city in the United States by the Census Bureau." Atmosphere - 24.3 square miles, 0.15 of which is water. Population of 80k (2020 Census). Service - Good, as per the above, they cater to the wealthy so service has to reflect that. I aspire to be one of them one of these days, lol. Price - Above average, but NOT unreasonable. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1839, Mexican Land Grant. 1869 - Established. 1894 - Incorporated.

All I must say is that Livermore cops suck. They have such a high turnover rate and a plethora of…read morerookies that every inhabitant of the city is bound to get screwed by them at one time or another. They generally lack etiquette and self control and their ultimate goal is not to protect and to serve, but rather to intimidate and harass. I only wish that the city could get some more experienced cops that have worked in the big cities to come to LPD. At least that might balance out all the hot-headed rookies just out in search of some action. Just know that you are guilty until proven innocent, and even then, they will likely get you caught up in the court system just because they can.

This very rude woman on the phone interrupted me and said "WE KNOW WHERE IT IS" "POLICE & FIRE DEPARTMENT IS ALREADY ON THE WAY" Then she hanged up on me. Wtf... Whoever this was answering the phone needs to learn communication skills when talking to the public. Learn how to listen and not interrupt when other people are talking. Learn how to be polite when answering a phone. I will give you an example : Pleasanton Police Department, How May I Help you Caller I like to report a car accident. Police department: Sure, where is the location. Calling. These are the cross streets (more info if needed) lanes blocked injuries etc Police department. Thank you emergency vehicles are on the way. This is how you answer a call. You dont interrupt people when they call. Remember our tax dollars pay you to have a job.

August 11, 2024, I asked police for a civil standby to get my personal belongings ( from my home…read morewhich my ex took over in court less than 2 weeks prior without letting me get my things). Police told me not to ask for help again getting my things. I had 10 minutes total to get a box of items. My personal identification documents were not included. I was told by the legal system police showing up to help me get my socks and underwear traumatized the kids. I went back alone to the house 4 days later to get my social security card. Didn't ask cops for help for civil standby since they said don't ask us again. I ended up with a restraining order for getting my social security card. Should have asked the police for help that day but they said don't call us again. To this day I have not been able to get my personal belongings from my old home. The legal system allows for stay at home moms who are running away from abuse to be punished more by not allowing them rights to their personal belongings. Police and court does not recognize this kind of abuse in the legal system. It's a financial type of abuse lots of stay at home moms like myself experience but no one cares. They don't care that moms in Pleasanton might be abused and inevitably rich people win over the less advantaged party in civil cases. Police ignore that problem. Meanwhile when I asked police to investigate prostitution, which they say is illegal, it falls on deaf ears. They knows it common practice here and ignore it because it's the oldest business and it benefits lots of rich people. Yet it's a crime to participate in on paper. I get a restraining order for going to my old house to get my things. Fine. Meanwhile some people can participate in prostitution and the legal system ignores it and just says to me you have anger issues and you need to behave. Being a woman in this city in this state in this legal system is a lot like what my family's country probably is like. That's Pakistan. Shariah law run Pakistan. Women who are abused and who try to leave are punished within the legal system.
