    Downtown

    I have been getting my annual holiday stamps from this post office for the last 8-10 years. It has…read morealways been a great experience. The lines move quickly (there are 4 windows) and the staff is attentive and helpful. They also have a wide variety of tape, envelops and stamp options. In picking my holiday stamps this year, I had a choice between snowglobes, snowflakes, a Christmas tree variety and a mother/baby jesus. Snowflakes are new this year so I got some of those, some Christmas and then a baby animals set (not holiday themed in case I have some left over). I also bought 10 international forever stamps which had a poinsettia design. I believe this location offers self checkout where you can weigh your package, pay postage and drop off your package in a box but I haven't tried this before. Lastly, this location offers a number of greeting cards and gift cards as well for purchase..

    Shipping via the USPS is loads cheaper than FedEx…read more I was trying to ship a pie cross country and the quote at FedEx for overnight was outrageous. No wonder I prefer to send money or to buy online with free shipping! Need a box? It would be $5.99 or more, depending on size. Overnight to Cali would be nearly $190 for 8lbs. Even the cheaper options were pretty pricey, and it was pie, so I couldn't go with the cheapest next week delivery option. I was about to give up, then I remembered that the USPS did offer some quickish delivery options and ran over before their door locked at 6pm. Good news - if you make it in, they will take care of you. Relief! The two pies didn't fit into their large priority box with 2-3 day delivery. Given the risk to the pie quality, I ended up shipping one pie in a medium flat rate box (11-7/8x3-3/8x13-5/8 inch) for $13.65 (one rate, any weight! box included, and with a tracking #), which would have cost $56.99 for 2 day ship at FedEx (about 4 lb, and the price doesn't include a box). The other pie? I'll probably eat it. PS - the pie arrived still cold to the touch - yay!

    East Cambridge

    It's rare to have a great experience at the post office, but I was just mailing a fragile tea set…read moreto a friend in another state and none of the boxes they had would fit well, but Michael suggested cutting down one box and reforming it to fit the tea set. It worked like a charm! He was super friendly and helpful, and ended up saving me loads of money on the shipping. Five stars!

    Five stars for a Post Office?…read more Yes. Do they mess things up? Sure. Are they highly efficient for what they do? Absolutely. Most of my experiences in Post Offices involve huge lines and dawdling employees. The folks here seem to actually want to get through the line quickly. Whenever I come to ship something out they're helpful, friendly, and if treated with respect give it back in return. (Though I'd imagine they wouldn't hesitate to put the smack down if you step up. This is East Cambridge after all) The hours are a bit wonky but they open early enough (7:30) that I have plenty of time to stop in before work to pick up packages/stamps/whatever. In this neighborhood I think USPS is the best shipping option. Apparently in a past life East Cambridge was a bit shady so UPS/FEDEX refuse to leave packages at the door. This means a trip out to Somerville ($45 cab ride) or several days in rerouting (UPS sends it through Rhode Island, natch) to get your package. But the Post Office will hold it for you in the convenient office. Works for me! Sadly it seems like the Postal Service is slowly dying. I know many people could care less but it's a part of our history and really, you get a lot for your 42 cents. Until such time they will get my business.
