I have been living in Alameda for the past 3 years. My experience at this post office has always been very pleasant. They have been efficient and courteous. I was little surprised by such low rating.

This is my favorite post office in the Bay! I’ve been coming here for years and the people who work here are wonderful; always kind, helpful, efficient and knowledgeable in my experience. While I would never expect perfection, I have yet to have a bad experience here. Even when there are lines they tend to move quite quickly. The negative reviews are, I’m sure, coming from the few unfortunate situations that are bound to crop up here and there throughout the years. People are just much more likely to go out of their way to comment and rate a business when an adverse event happens VS. a positive one. Please keep in mind that for each of the negative reviews, there are hundreds of customers, I’m sure, who come in and out of this store every day with ease and a good experience. We just don’t tend to “write home” about those as much as we probably could ;) Big THANK YOU to all of the staff here!

Alameda Main Post Office has plenty of free parking, polite and knowledgeable staff, a self service kiosk. Easy wheelchair access.

Mailing a package would seem to be a high priority tasks for a post office. But this post office makes it as difficult as possible. either the line is so long that you will be here half a day, or the equipment isn't working. Choose your dysfunction.

Yes, they do take passport photos at this location. According to their website the hours are as follows: Passport Photo Hours * Mon,Wed-Fri 8:45am - 1:30pm 2:00pm - 3:30pm Tue,Sun Closed Sat 9:00am - 2:00pm *An appointment to apply for a passport is required for this Post Office™ location. For more passport information, contact the Department of State at travel.state.gov. So basically, if you want photos taken there it has to be done during your passport appointment that you have already scheduled.

Are they a passport acceptance facility???
