Walking into this place, you get the immediate sense that whatever is supposed to be happening here…read morehas long since stopped. There's an almost impressive level of dysfunction--like everyone collectively agreed to lower expectations and then just kept going.. They have got four or five people on staff; which sounds promising until you realize only one of them is ever actually working. The rest rotate between hanging out in the back, listening to music loudly enough to echo through the building, and pretending there isn't a line forming up front while staring into their phones. There are multiple desks, multiple offices--everything you'd need to run an efficient operation--except for the actual brain power to do it. If you have even the simplest question, forget the phone, they will not answer. You have to physically show up, stand in line, and wait for the lone employee while the rest of the staff treat the place like a break room with occasional customers interrupting their day. Packages are continuously marked for delivered by drivers too lazy to finish the route for the day. Those packages are then prone to getting lost because they become untraceable once marked this way. On the plus side, if your career goals include doing the absolute minimum while actively avoiding helping people, this might be your dream workplace. It's the perfect environment for anyone committed to mediocrity, where initiative is optional and accountability appears to be completely nonexistent. If you aim to disappoint at scale, you'll fit right in here. TRACY WILCOX IS THE MANAGER OF THIS USPS LOCATION. PLEASE RESIGN AND STOP STEALING OUR MONEY THROUGH NEGLIGENCE AND LAZINESS. WE THE PEOPLE PAY YOUR SALARY. I AM FORMALLY REQUESTING THAT THE USPS OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL INVESTIGATE THIS LOCATION AND TRACY WILCOX DIRECTLY!

There is a nasty ring of thieves operating in the New Orleans Postal system. They are not losing…read morepackages they are targeting and stealing them This is March 2022. A few months ago I sold a ring in eBay for 400$ and it was never moved out of the New Orleans postal system to its next city. Today March 2022 the same thing happened with a gold bracelet. What Is worst is that the main claims department refused to honor the insurance I had on my package. I sent them photos of the items sales record and they denied my claim and appeal. I will never again send any piece of valuable through this system. I will use UPS or FedEx. A federal investigation needs to start here. They make very good salaries yet Still feel the need to rob me. I work hard for my money only to have a lazy no count bum steal my package. Now I have to issue a refund for the bracelet I sold because the customer never received it

Finally got their new counter clerk. This guy is amazingly helpful. He is not rushing you…read more Helping you understand the system of mailing. Besides their lead counter clerk these are the 2 knowledgeable, experienced people. Perfect fit to work to the frontline to give their customer service expertise.

This post office is great!!! It is very "small town"…read more I heard that this tiny post office is here because there are two major court houses two blocks away (24th Judicial District Court and 5th Circuit Court of Appeal). It is not listed in most places, hard to find even on Google. It is the smallest PO I've ever been in, there is only one little counter and parking is just a small strip on the left side of the street. The right side is pay-to-park. Usually it's not bad though. *Note: the address is 3rd St. but the entrance is on Huey P Long Ave. because it is on a corner. The clerks are always very nice and helpful, one time I had a package, the window gate/cage was down and I knocked on the door and the lady came out and took my package. It made my day!!!!! Anyway, if you are in historic old Gretna and need to go to a PO, check this place out!!!!!

An underrated gem on Magazine St. Not only is this place great and efficient for your postal and…read moreshipping needs but it also has a wide assortment of New Orleans gifts and decor that truly make the place one of a kind! Definitely a place I'm proud to have in my city and happy to support a small business like this one.

Sorry to say the quality has gone way down as far as interesting things to shop for here when I…read morecome in to ship. The wonderful little local gifts and cards have been replaced by the same mass-produced stuff that can be found elsewhere. They are very nice at the counter and shipping is efficient, but the experience is not as good. I've been gravitating to an alternate place on Magazine St. where at least there are some creative offerings.

The only advantage is that you can go early before 9a to pick up your package from the pick up window. (guess this is how they're able to get 8hrs) Friendly staff. Often times this location is staffed by one or two postal personnel; which makes for the a slow flow. Ughhhhhhh. Unfortunate for me this is the location that MY packages are held at so I have to visit more often than I care to mention.

I walked in front door…read moreunlocked, and I walked straight and to my right was a sign that said "ring doorbell for assistance". It was my first time in that particular one. A short lady came to talk to me and was VERY disrespectful and obnoxious. Proceeded to tell me I cannot read that they are at lunch. (Keep in mind the sign they did have stating they were at lunch was on the other door that was locked but alllll the way at the top with sloppy bleeding marker and everything.) She told me not to ring it again otherwise she was going to call someone on me. She went in the back and proceeded to announce to whoever all the shit she had to say about me. I was waiting so I could speak to someone about her attitude and disposition but after 10 minutes of waiting, I pretty much gave up, but I will be reaching out to someone to see what I can do. I normally don't leave reviews because I don't like to be like a "Karen" or something but this was downright ridiculous. I've never seen someone act so childish and disrespectful in a workplace.

Hello. I was trying…read moreto do a money order today. It was 5 money orders for a large amount of money. The old lady (African American lady with blonde hair) at the register today gave me the wrong form. An 8105-B instead of an 8105-A. When I asked her about it she said that she was too busy and that she must have misplaced the form. I presented her the envelope of money after filling out the form. She was unable to use the computer properly and had to redo the money order multiple times. Then when she finally got the amount in she had me pay with card, after I told her I wanted to pay the fee with my card. She paid the entire total, not the fee, on my card. When I confronted her about it, she and another customer ganged up on me and told me that I was in the wrong and did not verbalize that I wanted to pay the order with cash. I showed you an envelope of cash, and requested to pay the fee. I'm not sure how much clearer I could have been. When I asked for a way to fix it, she said she did not know, and reiterated it was my fault. I then told her that I would be taking my business to the Walmart down the street. The workers there did the entire money order in 5 minutes. What poor customer service.
