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.

The post office left my passport out in the rain on a Friday. It's my first passport and it's ruined I need a new one and I doubt they will take responsibility or pay for it. I'll keep it updated but I really didn't expect to receive a ruined waterlogged passport.... Really sucks. Thanks. I appreciate it. I'll probably have to buy another one and wait two more months..... IT WASNT CHEAP

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.

Literally the worst experience I've 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 couldn't 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. Don't ever get anything sent here.. EVER! Unless they hire some competent employees at some point.

how do you make an appointment for a passport ?

Just call the post office Arcata. 822-4879

What do you do if the package being delivered needs to be held at the post office? I have the tracking number and its supposed to be delivered in Arcata, CA today but since there's no power my student came home and no one is there.

If you can call us in the next few minutes and tell the supervisor your address we can hold it as long as the carrier hasn't left for the route yet

Even though the Arcata Post Office is closed on Sunday, can I deposit mail in out of town?

Yes. Use the collection boxes just past the office on H St.

Is it possible to consider limited Saturday hours, so Arcata residents who work all day during the business week can utilize USPS too? Just a thought, thanks.

Yes this has been an issue for many years. Creating work hours at this point is a tough prospect for the post office. That being said there is delivery on saturday and free pickups can be made. Or stamps can be ordered. Also redelivery can be scheduled for saturdays for packages that need someone to be present to sign. Another option if you need a clerk to mail something for you is the bayside post office is open from 8 to 11am
