This PO is more a 3.5 stars, not a full 4, but it shouldn't be considered a 3 either. That's why I…read morethink a 3.5 is fair, as there are a lot more pros than there are cons about the office located inside Sun Harvest Citrus.
Pros:
* "Service with a smile" - The people I've encountered behind the desk are always warm and welcoming, as they smile and acknowledge you when you get in line, regardless of how long the queue is.
* No arguments - If asked to mail something a different way (media mail vs first class, etc), they will say "ok" and ship that way. No questions asked (outside of the normal "anything hazardous, liquid, fragile"), no extra comments, just "sure" and "any stamps today?".
* Cleanliness - always clean in the store, as they would have to be. They are attached to a "food processing" plant (of sorts). Sun Harvest is in the same open area, and since the small factory processes all the juice and bundles of fruit, the place has to be a level of dust free.
* Watch the packers - There is a viewing window within the Post Office room, where you can watch the workers pack the bins with whatever seasonal citrus is available. Keeps your mind from wandering completely if you're in a long line waiting for a stamp, or just plain old want something to watch for a minute.
* Stamp the mail - They actually affix the label / stamp to your package right in front of you. I've been in other post offices where they just hand write the postage to then stamp later. Here, they print the price and affix it to your package right then and there.
Cons:
* I've only got one con, and I don't know how negative it can be, as I can only think it started at this location - I had mailed a 1 price 1 size box to Massachusetts, and was told it would take two days to get there. A full NINE days later, it arrived at the destination. Having researched a little, the box was bouncing around from facility to facility in the North Shore. I looked at my receipt and it had said the wrong zip code (the girl punched in a 7 instead of a 9) so I think that's why the box kept going around the Commonwealth, looking for a home. I didn't even think to look or question it when it happened. My friend got the package and the zip was crossed out and something written over it (the same zip, only in black Sharpie). The box didn't seem dinged up, but my friend stated the case for the DVD I had sent was busted. The movie seemed fine, however.
That's why I don't know how valid the con can be, as it's not completely the fault of this post office. Maybe a fault of the service in general? Who knows.
Will I go back to this post office? Hell yes. I love Sun Harvest as it is, and knowing the post office is here, is an added benefit.
