    Dropping off a return to Zara at the Post Office
    Sheree H.

    I like the convenience of this US Post Office located downtown plaza near the courthouse and Sacramento County Jail. It is hidden in the same building as the 24Hr Fitness parking structure but the entrance is on J street. Can be hard to find if you don't know the area. It is a full service post office, with plenty of supplies available for purchase. The ladies working are always friendly and informative. It's never packed and I recommend using shipping here as it's cheaper to ship out of the country compared to FedEx and UPS. So worth it! It's also effortless returning merchandise with a QR code.

    For all your postal needs downtown, this is a good choice during the daylight hours Monday through Friday. (They're closed on weekends.) Be sure you can withstand the temptation of the ominous Scientology auras as you walk past. I've been coming by on my lunch break if I have a parcel for buddies, be they international or domestic, for years, and am always out with a speed not found at all USPS locations. It is inside of a shared building, but the sign on the pillar outside is a helpful guide. Just come through the double doors and straight back, past the guard station. Though their small shipping center inside can get busy if there is a handful of people in line (keep this in mind for social distancing during this time of the Rona), staff are efficient and helpful. They keep a decent amount of boxes, assorted shipping supplies, gift wrap, and cards for such a tight space too. There is also a secondary foyer with PO Boxes where you could wait, or take a minute to fill out a customs form, if the main area is full of peeps. Parking: Street metered, there are usually some here on J street or 6th Street, and there's a few garages within a block (J&8th for example)

    I love being able to scan my parcel's whereabouts.

    Glad This USPS Office Is Here! SITREP It's secret. It's hidden. You could walk right by it and not know it's there because it isn't obvious. But yep, there's a post office here! THE SETUP Let's be blunt: we've all gotten used to MOST (not all, but MOST) post offices being their own, standalone buildings. * I've had a P.O.Box for 27 years in the Ft. Sutter Post Office located at Alhambra between P & Q - and it looks like a Post Office. * I've used it many many times and just got my Passport this past month at the Royal Oaks Post Office. HUGE'ish building. Stand-alone Post Office building. Open much later than any other post office in Sacramento. Collects mail over the weekends. It definitely looks like a Post Office. 660 J STREET But this Post Office - and let's be clear, this is really a Post Office ANNEX - is very much tucked out of the way. = In a private corporate building, with little (heading East down J St)- or no (heading West down J St) - real signage indicating there's a USPS P.O. here = Sandwiched between a Golden One Credit Union Office (which, btw, has GREAT signage on the outside) and some other development corporation on the other side. = You have to actually walk PAST a security desk in the lobby, deep in the entrails of the building = THEN....you're finally there. ROBOUST SET-UP In spite of the fact that this postal annex is small, out of the way, and takes time to zero in on, it has everything you want at a P.O. It has: * Full on postal clerks with full postal services - I had no problem getting my priority mail packages out - and they have since been delivered to their destinations as promised. * People can put mail stops on their mail in this locality and come pick up their held mail. * They even have P.O. Boxes here for you to rent (but, nah, I still like mine over on Alhambra and will keep it) USAGE If you work downtown, this is an ideal P.O. because for most it's conveniently within walking service of our office buildings and kind of takes up the slack of the P.O. that USED to be on I Street between 8th & 9th Streets back in the day. The downside is there really is no place to park around there. Okay. Let me paraphrase that: There is no place to park around there FOR FREE. My perspective? I'm not gonna leverage a small stamp booklet purchase with an almost commensurate parking fee charge. So guess what? If driving, your better bet is the Ft. Sutter Post Office on Alhambra with a free parking lot. THE LOWDOWN Great for the patron who is already downtown. But certainly not great to drive into downtown just for a postal errand.

    Out of stamps? Wait! What?!?!  That's really great guys!

    The post office is one those places I try to avoid but I cannot because they really don't have any nearby competition. The rest of the world usually starts working between the peak hours of 7-9am. I know I start early as well as the rest of the world. I despise going to post office for three valid reasons: * You open at 10am on a weekday?! Good God! Half the day has gone by the time you're open. I walked several blocks and you're not open. Now I have to wait. I got crap to do. * You manage to successfully lose my mail in less than 8 hours last December. It was initially delivered to my home. I wasn't there to sign for it so it was returned to this location for me to pick up but I only had one of two boxes given to me. You guys managed to lose the second box! How in the world does that happen? You guys have a very easy job to do. You don't need a Ph.D. *The post office should be opened earlier. You guys are just nothing but disappointment. I never like coming here. The post office should be bought by a private company and surely things will be better. The location is in a horrible location. I hope you guys move somewhere near the Capitol where it might be more in demand. God I hate the USPS! You don't know how to manage mail, deliver it, and open at some decent hours. This is your job. It's not rocket science but you somehow manage to mess up a person's day. Thank you. Here's an update 4/5/16. Not only are they out of stamps but they fail to re-deliver my mail after a week stop. I was supposed to start getting my mail on Monday but I went to check my mailbox and it's empty. Thank you USPS! You're #1. You're the only number one because you're a monopoly who does bad at their business. I wish there was an alternative.

    I went to the mailbox with a friend for post mail. It's located inside another business building. We stood in the line for ten minutes but it went by fast. There was an employee standing in the line and trying to speed up the process. She asking and helping people what they were here for and directed then forms to fill out while standing in line.

    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.

    I had to send out a package and knew this post office was in the area during some of my other…read moreerrands. It's a pretty big post office and there's plenty of parking. While it's a big location, it's definitely a little run down and outdated- but I'd say a lot of post offices are nowadays. They had a couple people helping customers up front and it was very busy while I was there. I did notice that some of the areas seemed like they needed to be re-stocked and I ended up needing to borrow a pen from behind the counter for my package. I feel like I remember other locations having pens on chains that can be used. Overall, the team working here were working really hard and doing a great job at moving through the long line. I was able to send my package out and it was a better price than going to Fedex or UPS, so worth the wait.

    This is the worst USPS office I have ever been forced to have mail come from. Yesterday two…read morepackages were to be delivered. Both were not requiring a signature or anything special. The mailman who is either new to the route or covering from the person who I always see, walks his raggedy tail onto my property comes to the front door drops the packages and rings the bell. I wasn't home caught this later on video. He then waits as he's running his damn mouth on the phone with whoever and decided to take the package I actually needed yesterday back with him, but left the other. WTF! What is the requirement to have a mail carrier position. Is common sense or basic thinking not required. Then the status he left was "not able to access the property" while his tail is on the damn property on camera. I cannot make this up. And of course they don't answer the phone.

    I know this may be a stretch for a postal office or any government building experience, but I…read moredefinitely had a 5/5 experience with Collin. First, the place is pretty clean and well organized. It's easy to access. For me, these experiences boil down to the customer experience. Upfront, I am not a weekly or even monthly person that sends packages. I'm not really sure how to use a stamp to be honest with you or where to buy them. FYI, you can buy them at the post office. Anyway, I definitely came unprepared with my shipping label the first get-go. Collin delicately explained to me that this needs to be printed out or that a QR code needs to be provided, and that they can't receive emails from us. The second time around I was still unprepared despite printing the label. He generously help taped up my package and made a note that other post offices may not be as nice. Overall, I've never had a completely bad experience here, but this was particularly nice, so I wanted to give credit where credit is due.

Her customer service is poor and her attitude is even worst. I couldn't verify the address until the sticker was already printed and in my face. Now my package will arrive later than expected because I was rushed by RUBY.. IF YOU SEE HER DEAD GAZE AVOID HER AT ALL COST. SHE DOESNT CARE TO ALLOW YOU TO READ THE SCREEN OR SELECT DATES, SMH I HATE THAT I LEFT MY PACKAGES WITH HER. She rushed wasn't friendly and seemed annoyed

    Hello, I would love to say I love coming to this post office first it was VINCE He's very kind and…read morehe's very patient. He's always has a smile so I want to say thank you. Amazing customer service very patient and has a beautiful smile that lights up the whole room. and there is another person a young lady name LEISA what a wonderful, amazing beautiful smile always happy and very colorful. I love her orange and pink flowers that she has there. She is a breath of fresh air. I was explaining to them today I kept forgetting to get their names to say how welcome it is for the come in there and they say hello to you and they take all the time and all of that she explained to me today how the process worked with the packaging and I appreciate her customer customer service and her patience. I was explaining to them how hard it is to work in customer service I work in customer service and it's very hard dealing with people and having patience and listening and keeping a smile, even though they don't make any sense after the things they say or what they're coming in there to get or whatever, but if you guys can let them know by giving them a pat on the shoulder and letting them know how much you guys appreciate having them there and all the hard work and they do this is a very very very very busy post office and it takes a lot of patience in the middle of the area where it's at, but just to say I see him every time I come and it's always joy the CD two these two and so if you guys can let them know that and show them this message that I appreciate them and acknowledge them and just taking out the time of the day to give somebody patience and the smile is a lot thank you my name is Andi (Andrea)have a great day yeah
