Then I go to get my money back and was told I did not have the option for the office to sign for the package so needless to say I did not get anything back!

Reviewing mostly for the historical aspects, not the Post Office service itself. (The PO does have…read morean oldschool homey feel about it, to be sure.) The building is a fine brick 1852 church on the National Register of Historic Landmarks, which went through several other uses before ending up as the US PO for Newtonville. Unfortunately the inside's been gutted and refitted to the Post Office's needs - in mid-20th century stasis - so you can't see much on the inside. It's a very narrow counter dominated by old-school brass combination PO boxes (cool enough) but quite cramped. So what there is to see of the architecture, you can see from outside. We went to see the Chester Arthur "Exhibit" (see photos) which is basically a collection of clippings about forty or fifty years old. It's an oddity, here based on the tenuous connection to Arthur's father, who by local legend lived nearby for a number of years. The locals swear it was Arthur's "childhood" home, but given he was 26 years old when his father first took up residence and practicing law in Kansas and New York City during those years, it's a bit of a stretch. Arthur's father, a minister, may have preached at the church briefly. This local legend was ballooned to include renaming a nearby street "Arthur Street" and was probably enhanced by the fact Arthur's buried in the nearby Albany Rural Cemetery, but the actual historical significance for one of our most obscure Presidents is somewhere between low and non-existent. That said: there's just something really touching about the fact this little display has sat here unchanged for half a century. If you go in to buy stamps, admire it, but I wouldn't plan your vacation trip around it.

We subscribe to Informed Delivery with the post office so we can see what mail and packages are scheduled to be delivered to us. In this case, my wife had ordered an item online from a company in Salt Lake City, UT. The company provided us with a USPS tracking number, and we began expecting to receive the package as soon as for days later. Having the tracking number, we could see the path that the package was taking. After it left Salt Lake City it went to Westborough, MA. That took three days. It's my understanding that virtually all packages coming to Clifton Park, NY go to Westborough first. The next morning it was at the Albany Distribution Center. Based upon prior experiences, we expected to have the package delivered the day after arriving in Albany. However, that's when something went haywire. The same day it arrived in Albany it was sent to Springfield, MA. If that wasn't odd enough, later that day it was again sent back to Albany. It then sat at the Albany Distribution Center for five (count'em, ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE) days! I decided to visit the local post office to ask if they could look into getting the package out of Albany. This was apparently not a simple request. The clerk at the counter was more than happy to look into it but could not come up with any more information than I was already aware of. He went to a fellow employee, Dee Dee, for assistance. Dee Dee said she would contact Albany and call me with the information she uncovered. Sure enough, the next day Dee Dee called to let us know that the package was located and would likely be delivered the following day. On the new expected day for delivery Informed Delivery indicated that the package was out for delivery and should arrive by 3 PM. At about noon, Dee Dee called to let us know the package was out for delivery and fifteen minutes later it was in our mailbox. That was a total of ten days since the order was placed. But I want to take this moment to publicly thank the staff at our local post office for their perseverance in helping us receive our package.
