    I came in here to drop off a package as I was on my way back home from Pasadena. The first thing I noticed is how big this building is, compared to other post office locations. Clearly, this building is historic in the downtown Pasadena area. I parked in their small lot at the side of the building and walked up the ramp to the side door. Once inside, I noticed that this place looks somewhat similar to a train station. It is pretty big, and the decor here has probably been consistent in the past century. The workers there were ok, but openly challenged me about my package. They asked me if my package was really media mail, to which I said yes. They told me that all packages are subject to inspection, with which I had no problem. I would have a problem if the package didn't get to the destination, as this was a good eBay sell. Maybe the workers were grumpy from the heat?

    The building is historic and very impressive and right in the middle of the iconic Colorado Blvd. The service was good too.

    Coolest post office ever!

    Long lines, but I was so engaged at it's beauty, that I didn't really mind. That is WHY there is SHIPPING ONLINE!

    1 open window on tax weekend!

    Very old school post office. They have a 30 minute parking lot with a few spots. Long lines. Service was pretty snail pace. They only had 1 window open on the Saturday taxes were due, that really does not make sense.

    Gorgeous post office in downtown Pasadena

    See all

    Go before 4 in the afternoon, and the wait times can be short. Friendly staff.

    Lost packages, hours spent on hold, and no one seems to even try to care. Go somewhere else if at all possible.

    After shipping for over 20 years through the USPS, this is the store I chose to go to for packages,…read morepostage and all other services that the Post Office offers. The lines are usually pretty short, except for certain times of the year, the service is exceptional and the staff keep the store clean, decorated, and professional. Feels like a cut above all the other locations and I especially enjoy the decorations that they put up during certain holidays throughout the year. If you visit now, you'll see St. Patricks day decorations. I know, I know, who decorates for St. Patricks day??? It's silly and probably unnecessary, but it brightens up my day just a little bit and more importantly, it shows that they care. I've made hundreds of trips to this location and not once, did I have a bad experience. Junior and Jack really make an effort to try and keep the lines moving quickly, and they're very helpful in answering any questions you may have. I sometimes marvel at the patience that Junior has when handling difficult customers with non-sensical questions, while I stand there visibly shaking my head. It's worth mentioning that I've noticed that the staff here will sometimes work through their lunch hours without breaks, especially during the busy season, I sincerely hope that management takes note and provides the staff with enough assistance that they do not need to do so. It's sometimes disheartening to see that despite the long hours and great service, they'd be forced to skip lunches or breaks. I was hesitant in writing this review, thinking, "great, now the lines are going to be longer" but considering the many trips i've made to this location and the great service i've received from them, it seemed only right to give them the praise they deserve. It's a great location, but please go elsewhere.

    The workers are very helpful and efficient. They get you in and out fast. Happy to have a post…read moreoffice like this in my neighborhood.

    I was driving on Colorado Blvd on my way to work. I thought to myself... where is the post office…read morein Pasadena. Well, right when I looked up and turned to my right, I saw United States Post Office Pasadena LOL. I was like no way... the universe just answered my question or perhaps I did subconsciously LOL. Anyway, during my break time, I walked over here to drop off an Amazon return item that I had to package and seal which wasn't too bad. It's a small post office that has maybe 2 or 3 stations and some P.O. boxes available. The line was short with two people ahead of me, however, it was about a 10 minutes wait before it was my turn. There was only one person working behind the counter. Once I got up to the counter, it was scan bam thank you mam... 10 secs and I was done and out LOL. The staff was pleasant and nice. I'll be back to use this post office in the future. Funny, I've walked on that side of the street before and never noticed this post office. I guess we don't see it until we're looking for it. So start looking around your surroundings... it may surprise you and answer your questions LOL.

Basic customer service seems completely nonexistent at this location. After reading other reviews, it appears I'm not the only person who's had this experience, which makes it even more disappointing. If you don't like working with customers, you probably shouldn't be in a customer-facing role. Terrible service, and I will never return to this location.

    Wow, what can I say? Not a pleasant experience at all, unfortunately. And this was two days before…read moreChristmas. My cousin needed a box for a white elephant exchange and an Apple gift card. This post office had both items, fortunately. There was only one other person ahead of us and the lady working at the counter was exchanging familiar holiday pleasantries with her, maybe taking just a tad bit too long. But whatever. When it was finally our turn, her tone and attitude did a complete 180. This seemed really odd to me, but then again, this is the post office. And I figured it would be a quick in and out; at least that's what I thought it was going to be. Every answer and sentence from this woman was curt and just super impersonal, like she didn't like the fact that we were there in the first place. No holiday pleasantries for us, I guess. And all we did was walk in. Things got worse after that. Apparently the Apple gift card he wanted to buy wasn't working and accepting money for whatever reason. And so she asked us to grab another one. That one didn't work as well. But she had already charged his card. 15 minutes later, after some computer keyboard magicianry, she ended up having to give only partial cash back from the total gift card amount since they didn't have enough cash on-hand in the register. The rest came in a money order that she had to process as well. So now we're being inconvenienced with having to carry around money orders because - for reasons that were really never made sense - the gift cards wouldn't take any money. Another staffer was there, maybe a manager, who had to put in his code in the computer to authorize these transactions. I told him maybe they should pull all the Apple gift cards from the shelves since they don't apparently work. He completely ignored me. Didn't even look my way. In the end, his colleague could barely muster up an apology for a 15-minute interaction that should've taken a couple minutes. I think I may have heard a whispered or muttered "sorry about that" at the very end. LAME!

There are no hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is open and available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was here in this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is behind the establishment, and it's shared with other businesses. The lot rarely ever gets full though. So don't worry. Each parking spot is pretty wide. You can also do street parking. Take your pick. Establishment: The establishment itself is very clean, neat, tidy, and organized. Staff: The staff here are very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. This is one of my go to post offices in my area. I enjoy coming here because everyone who works here are super reliable, efficient, kind, and helpful.

    Unprofessional and poor customer service supervisor. Today…read more6/9/2026, I went to this USPS office to inquire about "no mails" for past few days. The woman staff told me that mails to my residence have been stopped, and forwarded where else because a family member had submitted an address change form without "clicking" on "Individual" or "Family", so USPS assumed "Family". Obviously USPS do not consider delivery of mails to correct address is a serious duty. The family member insisted that she did select the Individual option. So I requested to see a copy or image of that form, the woman said she doesn't have it if it was done online. Usually there would be the form either online or paper, and filing it would not be complete or go through if the important information is missing. USPS should not just make their assumption and cause headaches and financial damage for customers. And the problem will continue for the next few days. She also stubbornly told me that USPS operates without a financial support from government and the mail address change is a free service, so USPS is not required to do a good job. She probably lied just to defeat an elder minority person.

    I am an exhibiting professional artist, and my recent experience with Box & Ship in Pasadena was…read moreabsolutely unacceptable. I contracted Box & Ship to handle the packing and return shipment of my original oil painting and custom frame from the 2025 California Art Club Gold Medal Exhibition. Their responsibility was simple: pack my artwork properly, with all of my original packing material, that I clearly had instructions to save, so it would arrive safely. Instead, their negligence, of not saving my original packing material and their poor repackaging, caused damage to my frame, and their customer service afterward towards me was dismissive and unprofessional. Here are the facts: Improperly sealed box: When I received my painting via FedEx on September 10, 2025, one end of the box was barely taped shut and nearly open. Only two pieces of tape barely holding one end of the box closed. My original packing material was mostly missing inside: There was very little packing material holding the painting and frame in the box. The artwork could shift around freely during shipping. Missing original packing: When I shipped my painting to the exhibition in July, I personally packed it with bubble wrap and peanuts so it was tight and secure....it could not move at all. It arrived to the California Art Club Gold Medal Exhibition undamaged and safe. However, after waiting 3-4 weeks to have my painting shipped back to me and Box & Ship finally got around to send it back, most of my original packing material was missing, leaving the piece vulnerable. Resulting damage: Because of their careless packing, the inner wood liner of my custom, hand-finished frame sustained a full break. I hand-finished this frame myself to match the painting, and repairing it will cost $200 in labor and materials. I have extensive photographic documentation showing the poor packing job and the resulting damage. When I contacted Box & Ship to request reimbursement, their response was dismissive. Instead of taking accountability, they told me: "The California Art Club insures the Gold Medal. Not Box & Ship. Please contact Eire and take it up with them." This reply is unacceptable. Not only does it deflect accountability for their poor packing practices, but it also demonstrates a complete disregard for the artists whose work they are entrusted to protect. Whether or not the California Art Club maintains insurance on artworks exhibited, the fact remains that Box & Ship themselves caused the damage through careless handling. As an artist, this experience has been infuriating. I will never trust Eric and Box & Ship again, nor use their poor shipping services. Their negligence not only damaged my frame, but their dismissive attitude shows they do not value their customers or the responsibility of safeguarding important artworks. I strongly urge the California Art Club to reconsider its relationship with Box & Ship. By continuing to use this company, they risk not only their reputation, but damaging more artists' works and undermining their commitment to protecting the contributions of their artist members, which make all their exhibitions possible. For fellow artists: think twice before entrusting your artwork to Box & Ship in Pasadena, California. Based on my bad experience, they are very slow to ship artwork, apparently have too much work for them to handle in a respectable time frame, careless in their packing and refuse to take responsibility when their negligence causes damage.
