Lots of parking available No line Customer service is friendly Inside is clean and organized Prices to mail out packages is semi reasonable Bring your own pen And if possible tape up your package before you get there Or will be forced to buy tape The post office I usually go to does have tape for customers to use for free So this was sort of different for me read more

Dear [USPS Manager/Customer Service], I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I recently experienced when calling USPS. I contacted your office for assistance in tracking down my mailbox number. During the call, the representative I spoke with was dismissive and unprofessional. He stated that helping me was "a service" and that he "didn't have to help me at all." Shortly after, he hung up on me. I understand USPS staff are often busy, but I reached out because I genuinely needed assistance. Instead of being treated respectfully, I felt belittled and disregarded. This experience left me disappointed and concerned about the level of customer service being provided. I would appreciate it if this matter could be looked into and if you could advise me on the appropriate next steps to both resolve my mailbox inquiry and ensure future interactions are more professional. Thank you for your time and understanding. Sincerely, Rebekah Muñoz read more

Why would you put a mailbox in the drive through that has a narrow slot that makes it necessary to come to a full stop and put your car in park, get out and slide in letters 1 by 1? What happened to the larger box that had the hinged door opening? read more

Not sure how many post offices are in Salinas.... But just went here to mail out a letter after hours over a month ago. It served its purpose. There are lots of parking, but it's a little confusing on which way the exit is. read more

Apparently someone there doesn't know how to read. Clearly has TWO stickers that say "DO NOT BEND"! But it was bent anyway and stuffed in my PO Box! Glad they can read numbers. They got the rite box! read more

I have been going to this USPS for the past few years and am impressed with how professional and courteous the people who work here are. I haven't had any issues, my packages get delivered and my questions get answered. A big thank you to the crew at USPS! You are awesome! read more

I love using the post office for shipping my packages. Always cheaper than the other store. They have gift cards available too Always friendly service. Lots of packing tools available. A great place. read more

They really slow paced here, I think they need to get with the times and provide a self service station with people with just QR codes would save a whole lot of time! read more

They have good customer service here. Thus far, i have not had a bad experience. They are always nicely stocked with supplies and overall, the place looks clean and neat! read more

I wish I could give zero stars. I sent a certified piece of mail to my friend who lives in Salinas (93906). It was scanned into this post office, then it was scanned "out for delivery". The certified mail was never delivered and never scanned back in. I'm assuming it was lost or delivered to another address. I re-sent another certified piece of mail 2 weeks later to my friend who lives in Salinas (93906). It was scanned into this post office then scanned "Out for delivery". IT NEVER GOT DELIVERED AGAIN OR SCANNED BACK IN!! What are the odds that 2 pieces of certified mail, mailed to the same address, gets lost?? Why pay for postage and to certify mail if it keeps getting lost?? So frustrating. I wish I could give ZERO stars read more

The Salinas Post Office staff is always friendly & very helpful every time we go in there. It's clean & stock is always ample. Thank you all for being so kind. read more

We have not had service in two days. I put a letter out at 7 a.m. Thursday and here it is 7:30 p.m. Friday and it is still pinned to the mail box. No service last Saturday either. What is happening here? 1939 Arcadia cir. read more

Someone needs to call a landscaper and the door inside keeps hitting people in line. That's it lol

They bring our mail on average. twice a week. Horrible mail service in Salinas. We are tired of their excuses. Mail order prescriptions are delayed up to a week at times. Beginning to wonder if mail is dumped. Informed delivery shows what should be delivered and about 1/4 never makes it here. Time to get consumer affairs involved. read more

While waiting for a package I ordered I looked online and they said they tried to deliver but that I requested for it to be held at the post office which is a complete lie. They never attempted delivery, and never contacted me at all. I see others have had this problem of them lying and claiming they tried to deliver. read more

I have had issues with this post office from Day 1! Today was the final straw. If you have an urgent mail, DO NOT MAIL from this post office. I had a ballot that needed to be in by 7/25 - I mailed in (Priority Mail) in plenty of time and just yesterday I received a notice it's in San Diego (not even close to where it should be and now too late to be counted in the vote!). Also, I have a PO Box, and I continually get mail that is not my mail. I put it back with a note on it and the postal workers put it back in my PO Box again! I pick up work for work at this post office, and during the elections - we were getting ballots in our PO Box and so the citizens voting, their votes weren't even counted in the elections. read more

Ditto with non-delivery and mixed up mail delivery with a female carrier herein Oak Hills. No accountability.

I am annoyed with the post man from this office. Mail gets delivered to other apartments. If you get packages it says delivered when it has not been. I was suppose to get get mail Friday and Saturday which was a holiday so I expected it on Monday. The mailman showed up at 8:30 pm and still no mail. The mailman said he was the Sat.mailman and told us there is another mailman behind him and left. I waited until 10:00pm and still mo mail. It is not like the old day when you could rely on the post office for delivery through the rain snow ect. Also you can't call and complain because the voicemail is full and they don't answer the phone. People do not take pride in there jobs anymore. They just don't care. They need to shape up or find good help. read more

I get my mail from a group box's and are mailman just put 4 packages in the big box but give the key to the wrong address and this is not the first time? I told home and he said I put the key in your box and he's was going to fine out but never got back to me. Bad service, thank god I have a honest per that got the key in his box the last number's 60 and mine is 65 big difference. I've been calling but post office but no one answer?????? What to do???? read more

The mail delivery people the have are complete idiots! I arrived today to find my Bachelors Degree on the road next to my mailbox. My front door is about 8 feet from the mailbox, the lazy person could have easily placed my degree near my door and NOT ON THE ROAD where it could have easily been ran over, stolen or blown away. They also left my mailbox wide open with the red flag up. I have pictures to show what I arrived to. I tried filing a complaint online but there was not a 'Submit' button AFTER filling out the form.(How convenient). This not the first issue I've had with this post office, they are the absolute worst! read more

Ordered something from Amazon, guaranteed delivery on Monday. Never got package, tracking said it was attempted at 1:14 pm and my box was blocked! I was home and nothing was blocked. Checked my Ring activity for that time, nothing, no mail truck or carrier. Went to the post office and talked to a supervisor. He said package could have been misthrown to another route. I asked why did they put attempted delivery and blocked box. He said they have to put something to stop the clock!!!??? So you basically lie! What the hell is that?? Package is guaranteed delivery on a date, post office screws up and lies to the customer!! Makes their mistake look good on some report to their bosses. This has happened several times to me. Postal incompetence at its best!! Fricken lying management!! read more

This place is seriously the most helpful UPS in the country ha. Like these two guys always have a great attitude. Like every single person they talk to they break everything down for and make sure you leave with a better understanding of what you did and can do at the post office. They should have school field trips here like omfg! SOMEONE GIVE THESE GUYS A RAISE if they don't already have one. Plus there is always parking in the lot, they have every size box and envelope even the free ones and yes they do cash and make money orders. If you are wondering which post office to make your regular one, it's this one. My only qualm here would be that they need more people. These two guys work there butts off and the line does build. Funny though because I've been in ups spots with like 4 people behind the desk and it still didn't move this fast. Great job guys!!! read more

I have had trouble with my mail and I am not happy with customer support. One time I could not get a hold of my amazon prime package for two(!) days. The carrier just was keeping it in his truck I assume, because I did get it on Saturday. But when I was talking to supervisor guess what he told me... he said "it's ok if something is lost, if it's amazon prime you can always order it again." I was so furious after these words, the staff has absolutely no respect for people's work and the fact that I kept coming to their office 3 days straight. They never gave me a call back or an apology. Another incident involved a carrier again who locked my parcel in a box and did not leave the key. I did have to re-order it. How surprised I was when I got a parcel 6 months later after they opened that parcel box. My most recent loss is a mailed check from my bank, which sadly was sent via USPS and was not certified or tacked mail. I don't think I will find it. read more

have a PO Box at the usps post office on post drive in Salinas calif. paid online 1 week before my PO Box rent was due. we had a receipt showing that we had paid already, anyway, 2 weeks later go to PO Box and its closed because post office said we did not pay for renewal. after a number of days where we showed the post office that it was their mistake , we finally got the situation corrected. in any event during the time that the post office was looking into it they were supposed to contact us they had our email and phone number , however they never contacted us even after we spoke with the head postmaster there. we had to go to the post office again to resolve the issue. not a very competent place ,hopefully it will improve its competency. read more

Wow, gosh. Where to begin? I received my mail from a pair of tender hands. Boy did I get it. Then, to my chagrin, it was time to go. Woah. Gee. Got my mail. Saucy. read more

The people who work here are so rude and unhelpful. When you walk in they talking super loudly about their personal lives and then when you get up to the counter and are being "helped" it doesn't stop. The guy who shared his valuable time with me was so arrogant and talked to me as if I should know how things at the post office work. Maybe that's why there's never a line here because their service is ridiculously horrible... Won't be back. read more

Clerks in this post office act like they are having a personal party instead of working. Walked in and Dave yelled "Can I help you" and yes it was a yell. Then he continues his conversation with a lady co-worker, did not see her name badge, but she has tatoos on her face. She then starts laughing at the top of her lungs. So very unprofessional. Will avoid this office from now on. read more

This single star is for having an Automated Postal Center (one of those smart machines where you can mail a package 24/7) ... But closing access to it at 6pm. Which defeats the whole point of having the machine. Please move it to a post office that will let people use this wonderful piece of postal technology the way it was meant to be --- or at least past 6pm. And update your hours on the USPS website. No, I am not saying please. I drove from Pacific Grove to use the damn machine but your website hours were wrong and your post office was already (lamely) closed. Liberate the machine! read more

It looks like our mail carrier inadvertently left a box full of mail next to his vehicle and drove off leaving it on the pavement in front of our mail kiosk. These things happen no big deal but I couldn't get through to ANYONE with USPS to report this. I first called their 800 telephone number and had to listen to a number of recording while trying to reach an agent or operator. I gave up so I tried calling a direct telephone number to the main Post Office in Salinas and all it did was ring and ring and ring before I got a recording to call back again. I then tried another local telephone number to the same Post Office and got a recording from someone to leave a message. So I next tried to find an email address for the USPS and none of the listed categories fit what I was trying to do which was to let them know that people's mail is sitting in a parking lot. I gave up so as far as I know the mail is still sitting on the pavement. read more

Terrible. I get told my mail keys won't be here for a month because the main lady is on vacation. Get someone else to fucking do it then. So ridiculous. And then I get another call telling me that they forgot to put my apartment number only know my address not my apartment number because they couldn't be competent to do so read more

I returned a couple packages with prepaid labels. Tracking still says received at Post Office where I dropped them off, but they haven't left that post office after a week and half. Went in person to get help. The woman who at the counter refused to look at the receipt, or date on the receipt, said the tracking number couldn't be tracked when I got that number from their location. She wouldn't look on the computer or check the back. Another employee joined the convo and he wouldn't check anything either. So I went in for help. Outcome: Sorry not sorry, we're not helping you. Um... wtf! It's called customer service. At least make a gesture of helping the clientele. Regarding my last review. Postman still sucks. He jams packages in my mailbox where I have to rip apart the item to remove it. Also began harassing me at my door when the Covid quarantine occurred because I was able to work from home and have weekends so off. Lots of passive aggressive behaviors from him. I think he needs a new job that he's happy with because taking it out on others is not okay. read more

Where Did the Incident Occur: Post Office Facility Name:SALINAS Office Type:Station Street:1011 POST DR City:SALINAS State:CA ZIP Code™:93907 Urbanization: Date of Incident or Best Guess:06/28/2018 What Time Did This Occur:10:00 AM Additional Information:We waited 1 hour to pick up an online shopping order. I am trying to continue to use the us postal service to avoid amazon but if I need to wait an hour in line just to pick up a package. Perhaps make a line just for pick up? If not I might just have to actually just go into the store or go to Amazon. Amazon is expanding and I sill want the US postal service a chance but I should be run as a business and not a government agency. Online complaints are welcome yet you have no submit button and when you edit you lose all information. read more

Better know what package you need before you walk in otherwise they treat you like you're stupid and give you attitude, would rather pay extra and use FEDEX. Last time I'll ever give my business to this office. read more

How are we suppose get a hold of them if their mail box is full? This is ridiculous. I got this number from the post office customer service to help me with a issue so I don't waste my time going in without being prepared. Something needs be done about their phone issue read more

This is a post office, it's pretty basic. This is one of the larger, if not the largest post office in Salinas. You will usually find yourself waiting in line due to a shortage of staff. They are very helpful around tax time however. Thats it. No sparkles. No pizzazz. read more

All this emphasis on social distancing, stay at home order to avoid the spread of covid-19, right? ...What for? I just watched the mailman get off his truck with a small package in his left hand, blow his nose with his bare right hand while walking to the door at 18854 Eisenhower St. in Salinas (4/22/20 at 3:50 pm) then grab the package with his right hand (full of boogers, I imagine!) and place it on the ground by the door. Those poor people get infected in the next few days, now you know who infected you. Next time blow your nose with toilet paper or a tissue, discard it and then sanitize your hands before touching anything!!!!! Were you born in a barn????? read more

If you are ordering something and need it on time, don't expect it from the post office until 1-5 days late. They're always misplacing packages. If you have a choice, use fed ex for things you order if you need it on time. More than a handful of times they have not delivered on the expected date saying my location isn't accessible. Total BS. It's in plain view and they deliver regular mail no problem. The mail carrier is simply too lazy to get out and walk to the door. SMH. read more

Terrible all across the board. Every one of the weekend and part time drivers that I have entrusted with delivery has been dishonest or inept. If and when my packages get delivered on weekends they are opened, smashed, or delivered to the wrong person. That's only if they are delivered. Most of the time I get an "attempted delivery" notification on my phone when I've been home ALL day! They lie! Then when I call, the wait time is always over 60 minutes. When I go into the office, they always act stupid like they don't know what I'm talking about. I have filed at least 8 complaints over the last 5 years. The manager even acted like he was giving me his person cell for future issues. He lied too!! It wasn't even his number! Avoid this post office all together. Amazon really needs to cancel any deals they have with them and let the US post office hurt like they deserve. read more
