It's no wonder that shop has customers happy- Kristen is not just friendly she is knowledgeable, moves quickly and carefully, and she is also efficient with other customers and my own time. I will always go there from now on. As a note- I had shipped things earlier in the day in Warwick and I had a less than optimal experience (from a store manager none the less). It was a friendly experience, don't get me wrong, but he was not helpful and wanted to initially charge me considerably more for my packages. I asked about why it seemed so expensive... he blamed his quotes on "prices being raised in july"." Little did he know my business receipt from a week and a half ago was from july. He adjusted my quote. It's relevant because it goes to show that it's important to be aware of pricing because some people are not as honest as Kristen. Thanks again Kristen!

This place is a 'mixed bag' as far as trying to write a review. The store is large, wide, clear…read moreaisles and has a generous amount of parking out front. There is plenty of stock in many areas. Social media influencer in need of a light ring? They have those. Need office furniture? They have a pretty big selection. Files? Paper? Laundry detergent? Canned air? Basically most everything you could want to organize or run a business is here. Five stars for inventory. The other side of that coin is there is no one available to help. You have to wander around the store and hope you stumble upon what you are looking for. Yes, there are signs, but under what category do you shelf a 'ring light' for example? Is the water cooler under 'water' 'cooler' 'office equipment'? One person was working the print area. We didn't bother them, they were busy. The one person at the register was surly. We all have bad days, but this person was not an example of customer facing professionalism. Didn't speak unless absolutely necessary and that was just the spiel corporate tells them to say. We needed a large cart to move a box from the back of the store. He just pointed to the regular shopping carts. At check out there was no interaction other than 'do you want insurance'. So zero stars for customer service. Not a big deal. They have a nice selection and if we are looking for something they carry we'll stop in again. It just would have been nice to share a bit of friendly interaction with a fellow human being but, whatever.

But Luca (hope I spelled it right) was working the printing services area. I picked up my posters and I had asked him how much would he charge to laminate my uncle's obituary card, he quickly grabbed it and took care of it. I really appreciated how he handled it with care and told me don't worry about the cost that he would take care of it, this means so much to me as this is important to me and I didn't want it to be damaged. Luca was very sweet and left a lasting impression on me. I really hope Luca gets some praise for making my day and for being so kind, but also being a great employee. Making sure I loved the posters and showing them to me and also doing that favor for me with my uncle's obituary. Lucas customer service was on point and I appreciate it so much. I will for sure be doing ALL of my printing services for the business from now on, here! All thanks to Luca!

Usually a lot of foot traffic in this area so be aware while driving. Inside is adequate. Some employees are great, others not too great. Sometimes they have their priority mail supplies stocked, sometimes not. But they seem to know their regulars which is nice. I'll probably be a regular there too eventually since I've only been living here a short time! I'd probably like it better if they said "Hey Shanon, how are you today??" when I walk in!

They're also all about the holidays, always with the decorations, and it seems like it could be the candyman that does the decorations, maybe even with his own money cause he's so into it (and not everyone there is thrilled about the talking skeletons or the ho ho hoing santas). That guy really cheers up my day I tell you, I always feel good leaving the post office, as weird as that might sound. Also, they're open to 5:30 AND I got my passport through here and it only took 7 days after they told me the wait was 6 weeks. Coincidence? I think it's their good karma. I heart the Bristol post office :)

It's surprisingly difficult to write a review for a post office because, honestly, what exactly are…read moreyou supposed to say? This is the Centredale Post Office in North Providence, and my experience here has been pretty much exactly what you would hope for from a post office: I come in, take care of whatever I need to take care of, and leave. I've never had a genuinely bad experience here, but I also can't say I've ever walked out thinking, "Wow, what an exceptional post office experience." I'm usually here for something pretty basic, either buying stamps or occasionally sending a package, and the process has always been smooth. The employees I've dealt with have been perfectly pleasant and helpful, and I've never encountered the kind of surly, miserable customer service that seems to be a rite of passage at some government offices. The building itself is clean, and there is a good amount of parking, which is actually a bigger deal than it sounds. The location on Smith Street is convenient, although pulling out onto Smith can be a little annoying when traffic is heavy. My one real complaint is the lunch situation. There have been times when I've shown up during the middle of the day only to find the counter closed for lunch, and the timing has seemed somewhat arbitrary. On one occasion I came around 2:00 PM and they were closed for lunch. I came back the following day around noon and, again, they were closed for lunch. Maybe there is a perfectly logical staffing schedule behind it, but from the customer's perspective it can feel like trying to guess when the post office has decided it is lunchtime. The posted retail hours are generally 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays, but a midday closure can be frustrating if you have a package that needs to go out or simply need to buy stamps and have limited flexibility during the workday. Overall, though, this is a perfectly adequate neighborhood post office. It's clean, there's plenty of parking, the staff have always been nice to me, and the basic transactions I've needed have been handled without any drama. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this particular post office, but if you live in North Providence or happen to be in the Centredale area, there's really nothing here that would make me avoid it either. Three stars feels about right: competent, convenient, and perfectly fine, just not exactly an experience worthy of a commemorative stamp.

I LOVE this local Grove Street PO and the people there. Most of the time I have pre-labeled parcels…read moreto drop off, so no wait. But when I have needed window service, I have had polite and friendly help. Shoutout to Red!! Clerks have gone above and beyond for me, like when I've forgotten to cover something on a box which might affect delivery. Give respect, get it. I've learned, through talking to these folks, that sometimes there are circumstances beyond their control. People complaining don't seem to get that they have rules they need to follow. They care about their jobs, and they know what they should be doing and how to do it. Town Hall is across the street and despite a sign politely requesting only Post Office customers to use their lot, Town Hall customers park there, so it's not always as crowded as it might look. Lines can be long, yes. Many times there is only one clerk available, and since they do passports here, which take a LOT of time... well. There are also a lot of folks who require help with their packages. A lot of elderly folks and people who don't do it often enough to know how things work. If all you have is a dropoff, you're good. Please give the clerks a break, sometimes it really does take a while to give folks the service they need. I have seen people come into this place literally 2 minutes before closing, with a package that's STILL OPEN, and not even addressed. You think they're going to be happy about that!? Of course not. But they still spend a good 10-15 minutes helping anyway, advising folks of their options, taping up, etc. Sometimes scans take a while and there have been times when I checked tracking for my packages and didn't see a scan there for a few hours, but jeez, if you buy your labels online then you have a record, so no sweat. If there is a long line, and you really must have a scan of half a zillion packages and receipt printout and will snarl if you don't get it... I'd suggest going instead to the "basics" branch in the Four Seasons gas station at the intersection of Pawtucket & Waterman a mile or two away. Usually no line there.

Lines can be long, but the self service kiosk can help me most times. Sometimes people jam the package bins, though, which somehow goes unnoticed by staff, and means you have to get in the sometimes long lines anyways. There are a wide range of extra services offered here, and tons of a wider variety of the free priority packaging options than most other locations have. There's a large parking lot, but people whip through it, so be careful! This location and its convenient extended hours are such an asset for local small business owners and residents alike.

Luckily, a neighbor noticed the pile and retrieved it before it got soaked. I recently had my mail held for two weeks. When service had resumed but I had only received 4 pieces of mail I went to the post office to pick up the rest. The female clerk on the desk on 2/27 handed me a loose pile of mail. When I started to go through it I realized that I had at least 25 pieces of mail belonging to 3 different Portsmouth residents who lived at different addresses- credit card and bank statements, letters from health insurers, etc. In the middle of this pile I found a hold mail slip for one of these residents who was not due to return for another 2 weeks! If my two experiences with this post office are an example of how their operations are being run, it appears that some significant changes need to be made.
