Given how often I'm in this area, the Wesleyan Station has become a convenient USPS to frequent…read more The service can be slow, the lines can be long, but for the most part I am about to send what I need with little to no fuss. It's not perfect, but I can't think of too many post offices that are. The best things? Parking is abundant, the crowds aren't really here in full force (even during closing time), and it seems low-key most of the time. I am able to send most packages without much stress and the self service machine is usually working quite well. I haven't owned a PO Box here, but I don't intend to either. The not-so-fun things? The staff is painfully slow sometimes. Even though there's no line, the wait can be a little bit of a deterrent when the counter ladies are taking their time with each customer. It's likely the customers, but they always seem to run out of pens for filling out forms, so bring your own. The place also smells a bit like mildew, but I've noticed this is common with most post offices throughout the city. If I can get here, send a package / certified letter, and leave in 5 minutes or less, I consider that a thumbs up. It hasn't always been the case, but for the most part, this is a likely scenario for most of my visits.

Person at the counter would not put a postmark on the 3 postcards I am sending with the date and…read moreplace. She said there is a machine that would do this. I told her I have sent postcards from this office and recipients tell me there is no postmark. She said that those postal workers were not doing their job. I showed her the usps website through my phone that a hand-stamped postmark can be requested at the post office. She told me that this is only at the discretion of the postal worker. It was not even a busy time as there was no one waiting behind me.

Postal services in Houston, Texas…read more.. Not all post offices are open on Saturdays! We used my Yelp app and found this US Post Office. It was convenient, not crowded, and stocked with Flat Rate boxes that my niece needed. My niece already had three boxes filled with her dorm items. However, the sharp worker noticed that the boxes she had gotten were "Priority Mail" which had a higher shipping cost. We quickly opened all boxes and repacked items into "Flat Rate" boxes. Thanks for letting us use the free packing tape and ballpoint pens! While my niece packed her belongings, I wrote her Hawaii address on the boxes. The sharp clerk again noticed that some of the addresses were incorrect! My niece asked me if I knew her Hawaii address... Uh... no... LOL! Luckily, the address was corrected before it was shipped to the wrong place! Haha! Whew! Mission accomplished! Boxes were mailed home!

I just dropped packages at the self service kiosk so my review is about that…read more Location: I almost drove right by this location! It doesn't have a large sign like others. I'm sure that's nice for the neighborhood but I almost missed it. There's plenty of parking as well as handicap spots Self-service: Their self service kiosk is the same as others. It's just inside the door and easy to use. Their package drop was getting full but I was able to drop my items Generally seems like a large and clean location
