Went in today to mail a certified letter with tracking to the Philippines. Had a very long wait in…read moreline as a customer in front of me was having some issue sending delaying the line for up to 20 minutes, the girl trying to help her was totally "hung up," obviously appearing like she did not want to be working at all that day. But could tell she was at least trying her best. Also was able to observe two customers arguing, ready to get into a fist fight, so at least I had a little entertainment to help ease me the extra-long wait! But i have to admit that the long wait was becoming unacceptable. So, I needed to text my supervisor explaining the situation, and why it was taking me so long. Even snapped a picture so my boss could see the fiasco happening before my very eyes! Until finally, a very professional woman in her 30s came to help me. I appreciated how very observant she was and noticed the way i was looking, needing to be helped. Besides her attractiveness, what impressed me the most was her professionalism, knowing exactly how to send my important court documents with a raised seal to my fiancé in the Philippines. I immediately could see she was a very competent postal employee who understood her job. I was very saddened by the experience I had at the Howard Road, Rochester, NY, Post Office last Saturday, February 14th, as the gentleman Postal Clerk adamantly refused to send my certified mail to the Philippines, making it seem like all the US Post offices do not send certified mail to the Philippines! Told me to check in very annoyed way to check out UPS, so went to them and wanted $250 to send. So funny!! So, I went to Upper Falls Post Office, and it cost me $49.75. After so much pain, struggle and frustration trying to mail a certified letter with tracking (gets delivered in 10 days besides), i didnt mind spending an extra $30 just for the peace of mind. I like knowing my important documents won't take 5 weeks to get to the Philippines and possibly get lost in the mail in some foreign post office..

Bit of a wait, but I was able to easily pick up my package from a missed delivery AND I finally got…read moremy hands on the 2022 African Daisy Global stamps (before the price hike later this month!)

Went in the Howard Road branch today around 12:30 and was surprised at the very tall, slender…read moremiddle-aged gentleman's behavior. After he flat-out refused to send my letter to the Philippines with a tracking number, was slightly shocked at his sarcastic reaction! He seemed to become annoyed after me needing an answer to direct me on how to resolve this issue. He was responding with a certain negative mannerism, a mocking attitude & body language that gave me an uncomfortable feeling. So i decided to try the USPS on Cumberland Street Monday morning, because they know how to send a letter with tracking to the Philippines. I have done business with them before, and they know how to send a letter internationally with a tracking number. It cost me around $55 the last letter i sent to my fiancé. But still, I was very disappointed that someone who works in the Post Office can get away with acting like this. Everyone else I have ever dealt with at the Howard Road USPS was always very helpful and polite. Guess i had to pick someone who didn't know how to send a certified letter to the Philippines, and he became angry at me because not know what to do.

The counter agents are generally great. However, the delivery people that work out of this office…read moreand the associated branches (ESPECIALLY THURSTON--THAT ENTIRE BRANCH SHOULD BE SHUTTERED OR GUTTED AND RE-STAFFED FROM THE TOP DOWN) are absolutely horrible with no sense of work ethic. They don't care where your mail ends up or if you have a problem. In the 5 years since we've lived-and owned a business in this delivery area--we have had THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF MERCHANDISE THAT'S BEEN MARKED "DELIVERED" by USPS tracking that never showed up. Sometimes we were actually HANDED ALL THE MAIL FOR THE DAY BY THE CARRIER ONLY TO CHECK ONLINE AND SEE THAT SOMETHING HAD BEEN MARKED "DELIVERED" that we DID NOT GET! Often, usually on Friday or Saturday, we will have a whole GROUP OF PACKAGES COME UP "DELIVERED" on their tracking system when we've actually received NO MAIL WHATSOEVER. Sometimes it will show up Monday or Tuesday. I think we happen to be at the end of the route, so if they're not finished when they want to be done, they just QUIT. We've had mail and packages left in the bushes, in the snow bank by the street and frequently have "package undeliverable" notices posted online when OTHER ITEMS WERE DELIVERED THE SAME DAY! We have complained at both Westgate and Thurston numerous times in the last 5 years. Westgate listens and placates us, Thurston blames us and acts like they're doing us a FAVOR by even getting off her stool to check to see if we have anything held for us there. It is IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH EITHER BRANCH BY PHONE. Totally absurd and absolutely repulsive customer service--even for the government.

Other carriers like Fed Ex and UPS will typically close the box up and tape it for you. was told by the clerk at the counter that I needed to tape my box shut. It was almost Closing time, and a Friday, wanted to get this package mailed so I asked if they could just tape it shut for me. I was told I needed to buy a roll of tape, they couldn't do it. I started to inquire why, and the man working at the counter next to ours, immediately jumps down my throat for asking them to tape my box up and ask f if they could do me a favor and just throw a piece of tape on there for me. Calling me entitled, throwing F bones at me, telling me to go to UPS then if they do that for me but they will not, it was nothing I had ever seen or understood his reaction. It was beyond u professional and when I called him out about his behavior or they way he was talking to me, he as proud of it. The customer at his counter was in shock- as well. He made sighs and his facial expression was like he was blown away with this man's behavior and words to me, and I was not even in this man's line or at his counter, I was talking with another clerk. The other customer was just as uncomfortable as I was and I met up with him in the parking lot after this scene took place and we both were in shock how this clerk went off on me. Even when I told the man I was going to report him- he proudly gave me his name- Adam- said he as the highest position there before manager and he has great reviews and I should check them out. No shame in his unprofessionalism and rudeness to customer making a simple request and who was about to pay for their package to be mailed with USPS.

Every time i go in there she not only gives me a attitude but everyone else as well! She yelled at a lady when she was just simply was looking at stamps telling here to get away from here area when she's with another customer( she was well over 6 feet away). And she was very rude about it and the lady looked very upset and embarrassed. Then the other day she shut here lane with more that 10 minutes left and told me she's closed! She shut down way to early because every time i go to Penfield's other post office they never do that. Hopefully someone can address this issue because its a very unpleasant experience dealing with her and I always need to ship things with my job.

This post office was incredibly helpful to me this past week. I ordered Adam a Christmas gift off…read moreof etsy that was coming from overseas and I needed to sign for the package. I got a slip to send back saying that the post office can drop off the package without me being there. I remember filling out that slip but I can't remember what I did with it after filling it out (Probably because I took care of it at 4:30 in the morning when I woke up to go to the gym). I wasn't sure which post office the slip would have gone to if I indeed remembered to send it back and I wasn't sure which post office had my package. I called the Winton Rd. post office since I live closest to them but no one answered my calls and I let the phone ring for so long I was hung up on... 3 times. I then called the USPS hotline and using an automatic system I found out that this post office had my package. I called and someone answered right away which was fantastic. I spoke to David who found my package and said he could have it redelivered the next day. I decided I would come pick it up and David said it would be ready for me. I went to the post office which is easy to find but it is pushed back a little from the road. It is across the street from panorama plaza. I was happy on the inside because I am used to seeing the cramped post office eon Winton Rd. This was very spacious so you have room to breath and form a line. The person at the counter was very helpful and quickly found my package that was set aside fro me since I was coming to pick it up and I was out of there. Everyone at this location was so friendly and helpful and I am grateful for them. I will drive out of my way to come here and skip over Winton Rd. 1 week later, I still have no idea what I did with that slip... I am not sure I will ever remember.
