I don't know why the poor rating on this post office. It's small and a bit awkward to drive in and…read moreout of, but seriously? I've seen many post offices a lot smaller and stranger than this one. It has the usual P.O. boxes for rent, and a small store inside with boxes, packages, and other supplies to purchase, along with the usual Priority/Express supplies. There is a clean counter to use to prep your items with pens, etc. The gentleman who works here is polite and helpful. I've spent time prepping things at the counter and have overheard him dealing with other customers and he is very patient and kind, especially considering how many elderly appear to use this particular branch.

Man I thought the downtown Lakeland post office was bad but it's the freaking Taj Mahal compared to…read morethis one. And it's not that the service is especially terrible here (slow to be sure, but the clerks are at least pleasant), it's the location, size and poor layout of the place itself. Also, the sign is parallel - not perpendicular - to the street. You know how many times I've driven past this place because I couldn't tell it was a post office?! First of all, it's located on the fastest intersection of S Florida Ave and also the most cramped. I'll bet accidents are common here. Secondly, the parking lot is extremely cramped. I almost got T-boned pulling into it because a car in the first parking space was backing out as I was pulling in and there's no way to go around a car backing out (unless you have a moped maybe). Additionally, there are not one, not two, but THREE wicked blind spots you have to navigate through just to GTFO (see photos). As for the actual post office it's very cramped. The hallways are narrow, the main room is also tiny and quiet. There's usually not too many people here and yet the clerks still take forever to complete transactions. At least they're friendly. There's just no reason to go here. The downtown branch is only a mile or two away and has much easier access parking and a much bigger space. Unless you live within walking distance, I see no reason to use this branch.

Chris at Goin Postal Lakeland was amazing, she was very professional, honest and the quotes were…read morereasonable ..my package arrived safely and fast ( based on my shipping choice which btw is always US post Priority mail ) Back story: I made an online purchase that needed to be picked up from a local resident in Lakeland and the local common name shipping stores (wont name them but you know the names, they start with a U) all three of the nearest locations had ridiculous quotes for shipping and packaging...the strange part was that every single one had a different price, one more laughable than the other ( all quotes were based on the same dimensions, so I could not make sense of it) Anyway, I figured that there had to be a better option out there and after a quick google search, i was extremely lucky to find one with great google reviews- GOIN POSTAL LAKELAND. I immediately fell at ease when I stared talking to Chris, she comes across as a very honest person, very professional, Items were picked up without a hassle, calls and emails were done on time, shipping went out as promised and my packaged items arrived in perfect shape. I strongly recommend this place.... trustworthy and reasonable in price and best of all, she made sure my items were securely packed. I strongly recommend GOIN POSTAL LAKELAND WITH A 5 STAR REVIEW. Thank you again Chris.

I used Goin' Postal in Lakeland for an expedited shipping service on March 2026 paying $135 for…read morenext-day delivery of important documents. Unfortunately, the package was never delivered due to an issue with the address formatting. I contacted the store for assistance and to request a refund or resolution, but I was informed that no refund would be provided, and I did not receive an apology or clear explanation. I paid for a service that did not occur, and the lack of customer support and accountability was disappointing. For a service that handles time-sensitive shipments, I expected more proactive communication, verification of address details before shipping, and a willingness to resolve the situation when the service failed. I hope Goin' Postal improves its address verification processes and customer service practices so that future customers do not have the same experience.
