I always find post office workers helpful and knowledgeable- especially those workers in Bangor, Maine.

12/09/2022: This is my local post office. It is very small, not open extended hours and often there is a line. That being said, the staff have their job description down and really do perform a step or two above that. They are very efficient, patient and helpful . I've never had to wait long to be assisted. Street parking is relatively easy to find as well as the large surface lot for the Montrose Shopping Park. You may have to walk a bit further, but it's good exercise. If your schedule can accommodate a 9 AM to 5 PM Mon-Fri post office, this is the place for you. If not, the La Canada-Flintridge post office is about a 10 minute drive east, and they are open Saturdays. read more

The Post Office website indicated that it closed at 5:30 and when we rushed to get there the woman (Aracely) said that it closed at 5:00. Aracely was very rude and told us to go to the La Canada post office which ended up being closed! read more

Rosie is everything!!! She is the go to expert for all my shipping questions & always handles my postal needs in a timely professional manner. Even seemingly understaffed to help her, Rosie always maintains a very warm, friendly disposition. More than efficient at her job, she is worth waiting for the excellent customer service. Somebody give that gal a raise! read more

I love doing business with them they never let me down the best customer service I can imagine well trained and very respectful employees I have been coming here for many years and will continue to come here read more

Professional and helpful group of workers here with free parking on the side of the building and usually street parking options as well. Looks like an old school building, but the lines are often short and you get great treatment here, so highly recommended. read more

Tom is a great guy. Friendly and helpful. I wish this was my branch, coz they got some real jerks at my local USPS (La Canada). But anyway, Tom is great and the service here is great. read more

Tom's the goal for PO service. We live in La Canada and avoid the LC PO and travel further to Montrose. The culture at La Canada PO is stagnant, whereas Montrose PO persons are helpful and seem happy to interact with you and give you confidence in their service. read more

The U.S. Postal office in Montrose, California is one of the nicer services places in the US. The employees are very knowledgeable,helpful, professional and with excellent customer care services. Tom and Bernie are the best of the best. Hats off to all the employees in Montrose. They go out of their way to help you out and always welcome you with a nice smile in their faces and a nice greeting. Way to go Tom and Bernie. read more

I would like this post office more if they had more pick-up hours for the mail. Because of this, I still prefer the La Canada Post Office. Not only that, you can't buy stamps unless you go and stand in line! Very inconvenient especially if you go after hours. read more

This is the #1 post office in The World, This place has the # 1 staff in The World, Who cares about the parking, its not great but what are you going to do? Its a freaking post office, you get mail or mail your shit and get out!!! So don't bitch about the parking. Buy some greeting cards, and stamps. read more

The best USPS location for slow service. Can't get "better". Not sure what else to say.

Best little post office in the county! Prompt courteous service. Cool building and great staff. Free packing materials and awesome stamps to collect. Love it! read more

Hey folks, the employees are happy and helpful and use their English to communicate effectively with customers because it is not their second language. So WTF is not to like? Parking off the street and on the street without meters. It is small and the lines go fast. You can mail letters from your car by driving around the back of the building or along Florencita. Again, WTF is not to like? Looks like the one-star reviewer has a lot of anger issues with all their Yelp reviews. read more

Place was extremely quite and hardly any customers. In and out was a breeze. Dropped off two returns and the counter man was very helpful and had me along my way in no time. Parking lot is small and slanted. But if its packed there is street parking as well. There is a AAA next door that maybe you can use to park if you're in and out quick. read more

This post office is one of my favorites in town. I live in La Crescenta and work in La Canada. Which both cities have their own offices but I prefer the Montrose location. The staff is always helpful and seriously almost the same staff for over 15 years! I just love how I go in there, get what I need done and out. Every time I go to the other two locations, I am stuck in lines well over 15 minutes. Sometimes yes, there will be a line but only because of the time of year. If you need a P.O. Box, this location is great too! read more

I stopped here on the way back from hospital at the recommendation of medical staff. I love how it's easy to find parking. I did have to wait some, so I can't say there's no wait time. Small Mayberry type post office. read more

I personally like this one because there is decent parking whenever I go there. The employees are cool. No, there aren't many pens but the helpful employees will let you borrow one. Just be cool and give it back!! They have a machine that you can buy all kinds of stamps that is easy to use. You can show up after they close and still be able to send your stuff in 2 days. Not bad. read more

I highly, highly recommend that you stay at the counter until you see them put the postage label on your package. And save your receipts!! Trust me, it will save you a big headache and a lot of driving around later. Last Tuesday, I shipped a package to a friend in San Dimas (not far at all). I kept checking the tracking number (it was supposed to be delivered Wednesday). The USPS website kept saying that the package was delayed but will still be delivered. Fast forward to Saturday, I received a package pick up card in my mailbox. RETURN TO SENDER NO POSTAGE. The package was sent to the Verdugo office. Luckily, I had my receipt and was able to prove that I had in fact paid for postage. I picked up my package and had to drive back to the Montrose office so they can fix it. An inconvenience in every definition of the word. STEVE was the guy who originally helped me last week, and like I said, watch to make sure the postage is on the package before you walk away. TOM was very apologetic and helpful about the whole situation; while STEVE shrank back into his corner because he knew he had messed up. Good day to you sir!! Thanks for nothing!! read more

Small post office but they had 3 cashiers working during the holidays! Much appreciated! Came to buy stamps for postcards. read more

US Post Office - Post Offices Near Me - Montrose, California

I've never had a problem with this post office and I use this a few times a month to mail off bills. Never had a problem with mail not reaching its destination, never had a problem with anyone on the inside (sure they may not have the warmest personalities, but come on). Best part about it is the drive to mailboxes as I call them. You just drive up, roll down the window, stick your arm out the window with mail and put in the hole. Wa-la. Mail sent. Only gripe is that the parking lot is seriously narrow as all hell. If you get those people that don't care to pull up to the parking curb then you may have difficulty getting through depending on how wide your vehicle is. To avoid this, just park on the street and put your mail in one of the blue mailboxes that are on the Florencita side of the post office. Problem solved :) read more

Great post office. Tom goes out of his way to know your name. They are very efficient and they handle and customers quite quickly.

Tom is a real hero! I have been having such anxiety about mailing my wedding invitations because I used some vintage stamps. I brought 150+ wedding invitations in this morning and Tom hand cancelled all of them so that my invitations (which I worked so hard on!) wouldn't get fed through a machine and torn up. He was such a pleasure to work with, had a smile on the entire time and even took the time to congratulate me and ask about my upcoming wedding. Thank you Tom! You have no idea how much you made my day! read more

Nothing to brag about here at this post office. All I can say is its 10 times better than the post office on Chevy Chase in Glendale but 5 times worst than the one in Tujunga. The service here for some reason is really slow. Thankfully, theres a huge parking lot so no matter how packed it gets at the post office, you'll never have to worry about finding parking. read more

This is the friendliest and nicest post office that there is in Southern California. All the employees here go out of their way to be helpful and kind every time that I come in here. Tom King has been working here for a countless number of years and he is especially gracious! read more

9/10 times I'm in and out of here in less than 2 minutes. Everyone that works here is so nice all the time.... I'd still be in line at the La Crescenta location. Seriously don't know why I don't just one here first every time. read more

I stopped here by chance and was very pleased. Staff is helpful, friendly, and very attentive. They know how to feel customers welcomed.

Great location if you're in the area. It's a small post office with great staff. Tom is always very helpful in handling all of our business inquiries. The lines are short and move quickly. read more

This place is no hassle with usually no lines. The clerks are friendly and knowledgeable, especially my man Bernie. What's up, Bernie! Do you even know who I am? Probably not. I like to go around pretending all the clerks are my friends so that when I run errands it's like I'm hanging out with friends, but really they're just taking my money. Sigh. . . read more

I am not a fan of the post office usually, they are crowded, staffed with old cranky people and have lines that move at a snails pace. But this one is amazing! The staff are cute and super funny and helpful! The line moves quick and every time I am in hear I hear someone tell the staff how much better this post office is compared to the others they have been to. All they need now is some music playing and it'd be perfect! read more

In the past, I have dreaded going to the P.O.because they are so slooooow!!! This PO is by far the best I've ever been to. They are so efficient and cordial. I go out of my way to go to this one. I don't understand the other reviews but kudos to these employees! read more

I think I just discovered the best USPS store out there!!! Anytime I've visited a USPS store I've been met with the angriest looking faces and employees who look like they are fed up with life. I came here during my lunch break and was scared I'd be stuck in line for a minimum of 30 min, but I was wrong. I was in line for no longer than a minute until Tom helped me. He was great! He had a smile on his face and was friendly (unlike most USPS employees). My transaction went very smoothly and I couldn't be happier. :) read more

Literally the most inviting and friendly post office I've ever been to. The team working was also very helpful in meeting my shipping needs.

Location is excellent if you live in town. I walk here all the time so I never have to worry about parking. The staff here is wonderful and friendly, plus there's usually little to no line. Very lucky to have this post office in town! read more

I love Tom and Ernie! They are so nice and greet most customers by their first name. This post office truly has a small town feel. I was a customer there for 16 years and I miss it and chatting and joking with the guys. I also had a P.O. box with only three numbers instead of a long five or six digit number and I liked that, too. Love this place! read more

I love this facility as all the workers are always very friendly and these guys move customers fast! Other post offices, the workers are soooo slow. I also want to mention (and thank) Tom. Hands down, he's wonderful. read more

Very fast post office, they're efficient with everything. Friendly and nice. I like coming to this post office rather than the bigger busier one by my house. Parking is limited, but there's free parking lots across the street a little bit. The street is normally not busy so it's possible to turn in and out of the driveway. read more

This is the worst post office I have ever been to. I went to drop off a bunch of packages. The manager and employees were extremely rude and would not take any of my packages even though they had postage on them! They treated me horribly. I would stay away from this post office because the customer service here is awful. read more

I shipped something overseas priority mail international w/guarantee delivery. I ensured it for a lot of money too. Right after I turned it in (like 10 seconds) I realized that I forgot to put the zip code. The postal service guy said it's not important as long as it's on the box. Well the box was delivered almost a week late. I can't get a refund because it states online that the zip code must be printed on the shipment form. read more
