Went in to renew my sons passport. Was unaware that i had to make an appointment & bring him in. The man at the register was short tempered & rude instead of simply providing me with information that would help me complete the application properly. I asked him why he was being rude & he replied that it had been a long day. I worked in customer service for many years and there is never an excuse to treat customers rudely. I made an appointment at the Eureka post office and they were friendly and helpful.

My package was delivered to the wrong apartment, but within a few hours someone was at my door with my package. The USPS dose not get enough credit. The local post office and its employees are hard working, friendly, and make sure the job is done right.

The clerks at this post office are just awesome. Super friendly, helpful, chill & chatty but within reason, and still get things done. The atmosphere & vibe they put out is very welcoming. Ive been pushing that little green smiley face for immediate feedback. Really, I actually look forward to going there, even standing in line. For people who deal with the public day in and day out, and work for a government agency, they seem to always be in pretty good spirits! I havent had an issue recently with lost packages (sent or received).I decided to finally write a review because even if its not a touristy landmark, these employees make my quality of life in my community that much better. (now hopefully the package I just sent yesterday will make it to its destination! -- but they wouldnt have any control over that anyway)

The post office left my passport out in the rain on a Friday. Its my first passport and its ruined I need a new one and I doubt they will take responsibility or pay for it. Ill keep it updated but I really didnt expect to receive a ruined waterlogged passport.... Really sucks. Thanks. I appreciate it. Ill probably have to buy another one and wait two more months..... IT WASNT CHEAP

Not very professional. One of the big mailboxes at my address wont open and the key and key hole look rusted. The guy told me Do you have any WD-40? I thought no and thats not my job. Your job is to help customers get their mail. What if I broke it? Thats coming out of my pocket! Its been two days and they still havent fixed the mailbox.

Literally the worst experience Ive ever encountered is this industry. Utter lack of communication in office, with staff, with other post offices. After 5 visits in 3 weeks trying to receive a package, being assured my package would be here, leaving my name and number 3 times and being guaranteed a call- not once did they call, half ass apology by supervisor. One very simple package they couldnt seem to handle. They end up returning to sender! Ridiculous lack of professionalism and efficiency for a post office. Everyone who works here complained about staff issues and clearly hates the place, one guy said those exact words. Dont ever get anything sent here.. EVER! Unless they hire some competent employees at some point.

While I personally havent had problems with my packages, everyone else in my family has. My brother has lost 4 packages this week because these people cant seem to figure out how to read an address. Our carrier has delivered things to our address that should have gone to other addresses, and when confronted about it, she has just laughed it off and left with packages that should have been delivered here. Yet, things we couldnt care less about (catalogues, advertisements, general junk mail, etc.) always arrive no problem. If you have the option to, have the Eureka office deliver packages, because at least they have a competent crew.

Some nice people work here, but some are incredibly rude, especially a few of the drivers. If you can’t find a way to be kind to people regardless of your day, get out of customer service...

They dont answer their phone, ever, and the lines are always super long so you have to plan for about a 30 minute wait to pick up a package, which is difficult when you work during the daytime. And, they dont deliver packages to your door, despite repeated, written requests. I never have written a google review, but the service from the Arcata Post Office has been so poor I feel compelled to comment. It would be nice to seethe service improved from this PO location.
