    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.

    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.

I have dealt with many post offices in Houston Texas!! And let me tel you people are rude and not helpful at all but this one surpassed my expectations!! I was helped with passport pics and sending the forms, I was in like shortly and the staff made sure I had everything before getting to clerk!! Big thumbs up and I hope they get credit for what they are doing here!!! I cannot believe the reviews because I have been here several times and they all being excellent!!!

    It's frustrating when the people who work at a facility want to argue with you about how a service…read moreworks when their answer does not match what is posted on the website. I put a hold on my mail and selected the option to pickup my mail that was held. I would rather pick it up because the mailbox is small. I actually resumed the regular delivery for before I returned home. The worker I spoke to told me the day the hold ends is the same day it starts delivery... which I agree. But my request said "Customer will pick up accumulated mail at Post Office". On the FAQ is says, "Note: There is a 10 day period in which to pick up mail at the end of a USPS Hold Mail® service request. If not picked up by this deadline, it will be returned to sender. If your delivery does not resume as requested please Contact Us." I went to pickup my mail before returning home today and the mail was already delivered to the house.
