Wow it only took two cat 5 hurricanes for this post office to become more efficient. I've never seen the employees here move so quickly before. If the two main registers are backed up they'll now have a third open when the priority boxes and shipping supplies are. The ladies here, could turn it up a notch on being nice.
This post office in Havensight is currently the only one right now on St. Thomas that is sending and receiving mail. The location on Main Street is for pickup of mail only so as you can imagine this place can get very busy.
I've never understood the custom form thing with this territory. Even though it's part of the U.S. its like we're sending mail from an international location. Come prepared with it filled out if you're sending out a package so you're not given an eye roll and bypassed for the next customer and have to wait again.
As a note of warning if you're sending mail out especially a package expect a 1.5-2 week delay. (If you need something to get somewhere fast use FedEx)I've had to go back to this location to check on a package that's already very delayed and unfortunately these folks have told us that they can't help at all and that we have to go online to help ourselves.....is that true or are they just being lazy?......oh well. The oddest thing about this location are the gift cards they sell. I'd say 98%of what they are selling can't be used in this territory because those stores and restaurants don't exist down here, but it's a great gift idea if your sending a gift back stateside.
This is your only option of sending out mail at a reasonable price if you live on St. Thomas right now. read more
