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.

I had created some posters for the business online and was just picking them up in store. They were…read moredone rather quickly and they looked really good, I did indeed love them and the quality of them was very good. 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!

My preferred local post office for three reasons:…read more 1. Late hours...open until 9pm 2. Self-service kiosks for common transactions 3. 24/7 Drive up mail drop You can also do passport transactions here and it's centrally located right off exit 38 off of route 95. Even when lines are long, the staff gets you on your way as fast as possible and is always knowledgeable.

Love this Providence USPS hub location! Its extended hours (lobby with clerks open to 9 pm on…read moreweekdays, unheard of!) are so convenient and helpful when I have something that must go out that day, but I've missed the cutoff at my local location. 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.

Slightly different post office location as they don't do shipping services. Came here to get my…read morepassport card and the young lady behind the counter was an absolute delight. Made a couple mistakes on my paperwork and she had me correct them, no attitude or anything. She was great. Even opened the door a couple minutes early so I wouldn't have to wait in the rain. If you have any passport related tasks you need done, go here and hopefully you get the same lady.

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.

Everyone here is great and consistently pleasant, even when things are out of their control (because... government).

Thank you for being such an awesome place in town for those of us who actually enjoy going inside and interacting with real humans, even for the small stuff. It really does make a difference!

About a year ago I submitted a 3 week hold mail request. The mail was redelivered a week early-…read moreleft on my porch with the hold mail slip with the correct resume mail date right on the top of the pile. 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.

There was a short line of 3 people when I got inside. There were two employees working the 'windows' and they gave each and every customer their undivided and friendly attention. The first thing they said to each person is 'sorry for the wait'. They must have to say that a hundred time a day at least. It's the holiday and everyone is sending packages. These ladies were working efficiently and remained friendly. That is really a big deal. I don't often run out this way, and stopped by this post office because it was on my way between other stops. Boy am I glad I went this way. A really great P.O. experience. Well done.

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! Life's goals :)

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 :)
