3rd unpleasant interaction with Audrey today (1st time writing about it): GoPost Urgent Package Pick-Up notice in PO Box; stood in line 10 minutes. When 3rd attendant--older woman in glasses named Audrey--sat down, woman behind me said I could pick my package up at her counter. I stepped out of line and waited for a man engaged in a long conversation with Audrey; when he finally finished and walked away, I approached, showed my slip, and asked if I could pick it up at her counter. Audrey, looking extremely irritated, replied in a rude tone, 'No. You have to wait in the line.' Later, a postal employee appeared like an angel asking if anyone had packages to pick up; I showed him my slip and asked if he was able help with it. He told me he could, met me in the main hall, escortied me to a scanning machine, entered the code and showed me the holding locker where my package nestled--very kind, pleasant, patient. I returned to the front counter to ask Audrey (when finished with a client) why she instructed me to unnecessarily stand in line instead of simply explaining where the package could be picked up self-service. She pretended not to understand the question, then lamely replied she thought I'd missed the pick-up date. I said that wasn't the case, so she lied and claimed she'd been in the middle of helping someone else--I said the gentleman had already stepped away from the counter when I stepped forward to ask her help. She continued to insist she was still helping him, then dismissed me (again) by turning away and calling the next person in line. No responsibility or apology plus an unfriendly tone the entire time. 1 star (really none) for Audrey's beaurocratic petty power. 5 stars for the young man who was friendly and helpful. read more

In 8 years, I have literally never been to this location and been able to leave in under 40 minutes. There's usually one to two employees max and always 7+ people in line. Hardly anything is automated, there's no quick drop off lane. They're stingy about helping you out with tape, they don't help out elderly when they're struggling to do something. Absolute nightmare. read more

I'm giving this place 2 stars, and that's mainly because they've never messed up shipping anything for me and because I feel for the one person who's often stuck handling a long line of customers all by themselves. That said, they really need to hire at least one more staff member to manage the line, especially during busy times. It's frustrating to see the same situation every time I visit. Another issue is their opening hours. Whenever I get there at 8 AM when they open, they're almost never on time. I usually end up waiting 5-10 minutes past opening, which is really inconvenient. This location seriously needs to step up and get things organized. read more

US Post Office - Waiting past their opening time for them to open. This has been a recurring issue! - Post Offices Near Me - San Francisco, California

One person working ... line is out the door.... Supervisor does not help out when the need arises... Attendant is polite and working hard but It's the worst customer service in the entire city because it's chronically understaffed. Sad but so typical for San Francisco. If they hire anyone they may need to pay them a living wage and benefits so one person does the job of 10 people. So sad. read more

This place is a total piece of S. Piece of S people that work here. Always a huge piece of S line.

Arrived in this post office around at 8:50am, there's no one at the counter. There's two customers in front of me, we all waited 8+ mins for a Postal worker to come out and starts helping. This is already unacceptable, made customers wait for a postal officer to work in the front counter at 8:50am? When it's my turn, my service is certified mail. This old lady has glasses with white short hair, hand me the certified mail to fill out the address. I do this every month, so I know the process and I know I won't take long to write the address. While I'm about to write the address, she has the audacity to help the person who just came in 3 mins before I was next. To work on her services first. When I already waited 15+ mins for the 2 customers in front of me. Specifically, she messed up 3 times on Money Order checks on the customer in front of me. Now I still have to wait for the customer behind me! I said to the postal worker, "I'm here before her, everyone needs to wait like I did wait for the two persons in front of me". She said, "no". I was already irritated. I was done writing before she even starts the service on the customer behind me. I then placed the paper in front of her. She had the audacity to placed my paper and my envelope set aside. I was so angry, I grabbed my paper and envelope and left. This is NOT the first time, I came here. She does this to me EVERY-TIME I WAS THERE. I had enough of her mistreated me. I recommend go to the Chinatown post office, if you are in Nob Hill. They always give you the best services. I want to make a formal complaint! This is unacceptable, what she did to me! read more

Truly the worst like the bane of my existence. Unfortunately this USPS is the closest to my home so I have no choice but it's always absurd. The line is out the door most days, even on weekdays, and there is never more than 1 person helping the HUGE line of people. It's also beyond dirty. read more

US Post Office - Ridiculous long line - always - Post Offices Near Me - San Francisco, California

Truly horrible Post Office. Usually One Employee at the counter with a Line to the Door. This Post Office has been bad for years, but recently became worse than ever. However, the Mail Delivery situation in the 94109 zip code has become a Nightmare! Mail is constantly delivered to the wrong address when and if it is delivered at all. I There have been days with no delivery. If you have Informed Deliver, you are aware of when you should be receiving incoming mail. I have personally delivered mail to my neighbors ( in another building) that I received in my mailbox . I have also reported this via filing a complaint and also by speaking with a supposed "supervisor" at this location. Nothing is ever corrected. There has to be something we can do to fix this all around horrible situation concerning this USPS Pine Street location read more

Post offices always get poor reviews but this one is quite okay in my opinion. It is clean and neat with plenty of Mail supplies, greeting cards too. Post offices are often understaffed so most of the time people need to wait. It no exception here but the workers, despite the fact that they were busy, tried to be helpful by giving people info and instructions as they work to save people time. Their job isn't easy so I appreciate their extra efforts. read more

Yes, there is almost always a line and very short staff but despite all of this they're really friendly and helpful. Let's all be patient, I've seen people being extremely rude to staff for no reason other than the long wait. read more

They have serious problems here. The wait time excessive. They appear to be severely understaffed. Do not attempt to come here on your lunch break,you will be late returning to work. The clerk with the dyed pink/orange hair is grossly incompetent,rude and argumentative. read more

Slow line but understaffed. Only one guy working but Terrance (asian dude late 20s) was very helpful and eager at his job. His friendly attitude was really appreciated. Hire 5 more people like him so the lines run faster though. read more

It's just great to have a local post office . Always helpful , informative and kind. There is nearly always a line so be patient.

Neighborhood post office has excellent, knowledgeable staff who work very conscientiously. Some mornings, the line gets long and there is only one clerk working valiantly. Customer service is always courteous, efficient, and thanks customers for their patience. Am very grateful to Ms. Audrey and Mr. Terence. I can always trust them for the packages I need to send out, and for handling my purchase of stamps, cards, etc. Solidly good service and value because the clerks are calm and methodical, thorough in giving you help. read more

Horrible! 5 counters only 1 operational! The line was all the way to Pine street. Slow process. They don't care if people are tired standing up, seniors and young included. Even in 3rd world countries you don't see this! read more

They don't scan my package ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Horrible service everything was was damaged. The package was damaged and read more

The worst place ever! Feels like everyone who works here is tired, or needs more training. Always long lines and slow service. Literally worst than DMV read more

Only one person works here. Insane line always. I once held my mail here for 30 days and they lost it. Never even apologized. In line going on minute 20. Staff in back don't emerge. Just one woman doing her best. BUT THAT ONE WOMAN IS AMAZING. Shout out to her. read more

Update one this as well, I came back the next day because I had a "failure" as my notification for a package that this guy said to come back the next day and they would have it because they "hold failed deliveries for a few days". I came back, they looked, and then he said they package got picked up and sent back to sender at noon, which means my package from Korea is being sent all the way back. Why tell me to come back the next day??? Also when my property manager checked the tapes for the package that said was "delivered" no one ever delivered a package at that time. Meaning the driver that day never delivered my package and kept it. Great work!! read more

I have so much respect for postal workers. I've had mail delivered at 7pm. These folks work 12+ hour days. They deliver mail, important voter ballots and make sure you get your mail in a timely manner. Neither rain nor snow nor dead of night will hinder the postwoman (or man) from getting their job done. Some of them are recent college grads paying off their college debt! Respect ! Working outside each day can be a physically tiring job. You will get fit carrying a bag or wheeling a cart depending on your route. Please curb your dog if the postal worker comes to your door! read more

Worst customer service ever. I had an item to be forwarded to a new address. I was provided 2 numbers by the field USPS employee for them and I called more than 25 times over a 3 day period and they did not pick up a single time and there's no voicemail ability. They then ignored the forwarding info from the USPS system and shipped the $400 item back overseas to Africa so I will never receive it. read more

Not much love given here with the standing 2 stars before this review. In reading several reviews, the main issues were the lines and wait here. This is not my 'normal' post office with most of my work-related tasks being in Chinatown. In trying to correct an address classification issue, the Chinatown branch instructed me to come here. Timing is everything as only one lady was at the counter when I walked in. There was only one window open but I was asking my questions within three minutes. The clerk was very helpful and patient in listening to my situation. He told me that I would need to speak with the supervisor given the complexity of my request. Before leaving the window, I happened to see the display of the currently offered stamps. With my friend in mind, I purchased a few sheets of the Chinese New Year lunar stamps (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=AT0DjLzXrgle5UBAeXKqmQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), this year being the Year of the Tiger. I then stood about twelve feet away to the other end of the counter for the supervisor to meet with me. Five minutes became ten as I watched customers come and go. In the center of the counter, there is a cleared area with a large basket behind the counter. I watched customers either leave boxes, large envelopes, or packages on this counter or slide their mail items into the basket. About ten minutes in, another clerk opened a neighboring window as more customers came. Well, my wait ended up being twenty minutes and, after hailing the clerk that I spoke with, he went to the back and reminded the supervisor of my presence. Luckily, I scored front door parking and was able to feed my meter. Sadly, the supervisor told me that I would need to speak with the SF Planning Department to rectify my issue in a one minute conversation. Kudos to the clerk and this post office's organized logistics. Minus a half star for having to wait twenty minutes to meet with me. read more

customer service & shorter wait times. Seem to be short I also had a problem with delivery & that problem was cleared up. It took a lot of phone css as pls but the harm had been done as we received no m as ill for 2 weeks as it was all sent back to senders. Very frustrating & time consuming read more

I am rating 5 stars because of a very kind and helpful lady that works here, Marylin, and one more kind lady (I forgot her name) her coworker. I came in to purchase an envelope with a prepaid postage, and when i stepped up to a counter in the middle, the lady behind it was aggressive towards me and sold me a smaller envelope even after her kind coworker on her left advised her to sell me the large envelope. An aggressive lady in the middle said she didn't have large envelopes. She dismissed her coworker's help and advice and was aggressive towards her as well. Luckily before I walked away from their building, I was able to ask Marylin for help and she gave me the large envelope before I walked out with the wrong one and I made a second purchase with the lady in the middle. Marylin advised an aggressive lady in the middle to help with the second purchase the right way, but she dismissed Marylin as well in an aggressive way. And because of that, once I got home I realized that I forgot to purchase another package for my envelope they told her to give me, because she continued being aggressive towards us all. I feel like coming into this building today was like a training session for overcoming obstacles when buying an envelope with a prepaid postage. lol. I wonder if this aggressive lady was a dragon in her past life.lol. read more

Someone reason my package is being sent back. I've called this post office over 20x in an attempt to get them to hold the package. No one is answering and I'm out of town. This is horrible read more

I came to ship a package at 4 pm It was 5 pm 4 plp in the counter only one helping costumers The other stuff was ignoring the line and talking on the back I have a video with the whole situation And the bad Management of this Post off read more

the lady with long grey hair is very rude. (clerk 10, i think?) i don't go to the post office much so when i was confused on what proper envelope i needed to use, she was speaking to me as if i'm dumb. the line was getting pretty long and someone just had a quick question to clarify the packing and she was being rude to them too. it's a simple question, i'm not sure why you would want to speak to us in a tone that isn't so nice. one of my biggest icks is when i hand over cash and instead of them putting the change back in my hand, it's just tossed on the desk. but she made sure to hand me the receipt to do the survey. you work with customers all day, please work on a nicer tone when addressing the public. read more

Wad told by sn employee after hours of waiting and 2 years on pink slips, tha USPS doesn't need to deliver the mail. They don't need to knock, call, or do anything. They can simply leave punk slip, or not even bother. That is the USPS RULES. According to USPS, I QUOTE..." USPS does not need to ring your buzzer or deliver mail. " He then would not put on a supervisor. I suggest if you buy things via mail, PAY 300 TO 1000$ for a private box. I have lost more than the box would cost due to USPS lack of any professionalism or responsibility. Reporting an issue, simply makes you a target. They don't follow up on anything at all. read more

On 4-16-22 I went into this location to do the "in person" verification for USPS informed delivery. When I went I brought the same documents I used to open my PO box at a different location here. I was assisted by a man named Muhammed who took my documents then told me they were not acceptable. Despite them matching up with the list of approved documents from the website. That day I even had my social security card which I offered as yet another form of identification which was not accepted either. I clearly and politely tried explaining why my documents were in fact acceptable but I met with patronization and overt rudeness by the customer service agent. Its hurtful that these sort of things still occur in San Francisco despite it being labeled from the outside looking in as a progressive city. Being discriminated against is never fun and at times you forget that these sort of situations still occur daily. Overall this place is not the best place to go if you're of African decent. Going to another location is unfortunately still the best route to take. There are a lot of post offices in San Francisco who value not only your business but will treat you in a respectful manner. I write these reviews based on my experience so that others will not have to face the same obstacles that I have. But always do your own research! read more

Why is this place even open?? To annoy the sanity out of people?? If you miss one delivery expect to lose every bit of your humanity waiting in this line. You would want to try and complain but the elderly employees seem to have lost all hope decades ago. Thank goodness the postmaster general is such a gem. Fml read more

I've been using this post office's service for more than half year. The staff there is always helpful and the line are always relatively short. However, the package mishandle, package theft still happens. read more

It's bad enough every single time I'm in there that I need to leave a review. Just really, really unhelpful and could give a crap about anybody in there. And really don't know what they're doing, the clerks. This post office is a bad one. Much better experiences with the Lombard St location and I recommend going there. read more

The worst post office ever! The white woman with grey long hair with mask on, she is very rude, slow and have a big mouth. you are a public servant, paid by our taxes. Don't forget that. I will file the complaint to USPS website. read more

Wow...never thought I'd be adding a 5 star rating for USPS, but my experience here was amazing. I missed a package delivery on a Saturday that I absolutely needed for an early Monday flight. The missed note said I could pick up at this location on 10am Monday, hence missing my flight. I went down to this location (shout out to Audrey and the supervisor on duty), who helped rearrange the courtier to add my package back on as a last stop route later that day- saving me missing an important work conference and having to rebook a flight. HUGE thank you!!! read more

They have an employee called David... he's an Asian guy around 5'7, he's so rude and doesn't do his job and always make people wait or tell them to come the next day... this place is messed them cus of him and his bad attitude, I hope they take actions and they hope he gets fired cus apparently he doesn't like his job so let him go work somewhere else maybe his attitude gonna change... read more

Wrist service. Carrier went to wrong address and left notice at the wrong address. Request redelivery a week ago, not moving at all. They ask you call them for assistance, calls never got answered. read more

The folks here are nice - but know that there is ALWAYS a long line. Does not matter what time of day or how many clerks are working. You should expect to wait for a while to get helped. It's a bummer. read more

I made a Yelp account just to write a review of this post office. I have never been so disappointed with customer service. The two staff I interacted with were incredibly rude and condescending and I plan on never stepping foot in this USPS again. If you're looking for a USPS to stop at, please AVOID this one at ALL costs. 0/10 service. read more

Horrifically incompetent management. Standing here in a line of about 10 people with literally one person working in the front. From the back of the line, one would have to wait like 30 mins. Seriously, how is it possible to mismanage this poorly. It's just embarrassing. Apparently the managers name is Gloria. Real F grade job Gloria. read more

One of the worst USPS locations. Tried to call and phone number is constantly unavailable and no way to get ahold of them.
