    Just a cloudy day
    Patricia A.

    Stopped in at the postop on a Friday after work, and they were open, yay. I like that this post office located inside the Eastridge mall is opened until 7 PM in the evening which makes it very convenient for dropping off packages and mail after work. Employees are always welcoming and very helpful in getting you the items you need to mail off your letters and packages to loved ones. The US post office also offers a variety of services. As for value and cost effectiveness I'm assuming it's pretty much the same throughout all USpost office's.

    People in line for mail service desk.

    Very long lines for both mail service and passport service with 3 people working and 1 goes to lunch after the other which leaves only 2 people working. The only worker trained to process passports alternated between the passport office and the mail service desk. Took 3 hours to be seen. There were 3 people ahead of me in passport lines. 3 other people came with appointments so I was bumped. Each person took about 10 minutes to process with our without appointment. 3 hours to process 6 people for passports is beyond ridiculous. They should not even offer walk in and just offer by appointment ONLY. This way, No time is wasted.

    PASSPORT SERVICES REVIEW// First off, you're better off making an appointment 100%. I know it's hard and their kiosk appointment system never seems to work but if you keep trying online to check for appointments then eventually you will get one. I had to book one a month out so today's appointment was made at the end of January for reference. I had an 11:45am appointment and I got here about 10:30am. There was a small group of people waiting already by then but I'm not sure which of them had appointments. The only reason I arrived that early was because they don't clearly state online or in reviews whether they still accept walk ins so I wasn't sure if my appointment would get pushed if they were done early and it wasn't my appointment time. They do accept both appointments and walk ins but they prioritize appointments then handle walk ins based on their capacity. At 10:40am the manager came out to prep and speak to everyone waiting before she opened up. She let everyone know that one of the passport workers called out so there was only one person handling it all and this would affect how many ppl they got to today. They were just going to handle the appointments and 5 walk-ins. I've read the negative reviews of this location and was definitely concerned for how my experience was going to go but again, having an appointment saved me a headache and some sleep. When it was 11am they opened up and began taking the appointments one by one. They call out the appointment times and if you're not there when they call you they move on to the next person, so definitely come a bit early if you can just in case they are able to take you early. When it was time for my appointment the guy called me in and I was very nervous that he would rush me but he was actually very nice and easy to talk to. He definitely made the whole experience a great one to have! (I unfortunately didn't get his name!!) he asked if I had my passport application filled out, birth certificate, ID/Drivers License, passport photo and how I was paying. He started processing the paperwork for me, and asked what time frame I was wanting (7-10 weeks VS 3-5 weeks). I provided all information and documentation, he explained every step of the process and time frame clearly and asked if I had any questions. I believe he explained everything perfectly so I didn't have any further questions for him. I paid and signed the document and was done! I personally have piercings and you can see them in the photo I provided so he had to me write down on a piece of paper 'I chose to get my facial piercings because of personal preference' and print my name, sign my name and date it. I got expedited shipping and was doing a passport book so I paid $227 total today. You also leave your copy of your birth certificate with them and they file that with your application. They say you should get your birth certificate back in 4 months and if you don't, then they tell you to call a number to talk to someone about it. You can check the status of your application online as well and that's on the first page of the passport application which they will tear off and give to you and circle the relevant information. Overall I had a nice experience! Was very happy I had an appointment and would recommend 1. Getting an appointment for passport services and 2. Getting the guy (if it's a guy and woman handling things) because he was very friendly and clear in all instructions/questions.

    See all

    Very long lines on both occasions (4/23 and 4/8). Lousy choice. Better find another location.

    I used it's automatic machine to weigh and purchase a stamp label for my large envelope. It took my credit card but no stamp label came out of the machine. It was 8:30 am. My husband went back when it opened at 10 and talked to the clerk...she…

    I needed to mail a birthday card and first attempted to go to the Oakridge mall post office, to try…read moreand mail it. Unfortunately they were on a lunch break from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. So I remembered my husband mentioning to me that there was a post office on Cahalan Ave, which wasn't too far from where I was. As I approached the post office I noticed the driveway was a oneway direction. You enter one way and exit at the other end of the parking lot. Luckily I turned at the right entrance and found a parking spot in the front. They have their own parking lot that offered a large amount parking and one handicap parking spot. This was my first time here. When I entered the post office, I noticed that it was a lot bigger than the one I used to go too. They had several postal employees working the postal counter, which was nice. It seemed very efficient in there. They have a huge post office box section and some lockers. They also had an automated postage machine. They sell greeting cards and gift cards as well. I dropped my letter inside the Mail Drop box inside and left. Overall, it was a very nice experience.

    My daughter and I dropped off our packet on Monday. We ran into an issue with it, so we came back…read moreon Tuesday. Nick was very calm, friendly, and patient while helping us resolve everything. I truly appreciate his kindness and professionalism. I'm hoping my packet will be delivered on time. Thank you, Nick, for your excellent customer service and for being so helpful! T. Lam
