The front desk people are friendly but have no control over the terrible management. There are days with no mail delivery. I've never had these problems at any other post office. There seems to be no accountability for the bad management. I'm now going to other POs even though they are much less convenient.

I had an encounter with the mean bald man here today. I saw the two stars before heading over and…read morethought it couldn't be that bad. Now I think two stars are a gift for these folks. I had 3 heavy boxes of books and 3 boxes of lighter things. There was not a single soul in the post office except me. I'd left in a rush, and didn't write the to: and from: information on 4 of the 6 packages I had because that was MY OWN HOME ADDRESS as I'm moving back to California, and I figured I would write it quickly while in line. My Lyft driver very kindly helped me with the heavy boxes, and we go up to Baldie's window where he chews me out for not have ALL boxes addressed COMPLETELY WITH A TO AND FROM. Okay, fine, so I pull out a marker to start writing. OH NOOOOO. I HAVE to go back to the counter at the back of the room to write on them, then drag about 80 lbs. of boxes back up. I flat out told him I wasn't doing that. I moved near a pillar and started writing. Baldie flips out completely screaming that I'm blocking all the other customers. To which I waved my hand to the empty room. He's still screaming at me, so I told him I absolutely was not moving these heavy boxes because I have a torn rotator cuff, which is absolutely true. I was pushing it to get things as far as I did. His response? "Well, I don't know that!" to which I said, "Now you know. I just told you! I'm not moving these heavy boxes." Then the other clerk tries to be helpful and offers to move my boxes for me to the desk way in the back. And I told him no because I can't move them back up. He started to say something else and I just couldn't take any more badgering and said, "If you two would quit pestering me I'd already have this done and be out of your hair!" Now that I think about it, maybe offering to get out of his hair further offended Baldie. So, then other customers start to come in, and Baldie very loudly tells people over and over, "She's got a torn rotator cuff!" I hated having to even tell him why I couldn't carry heavy packages, and I hated even MORE that he kept repeating it loudly for everyone to hear, but I'm sure that was his point. Oh, and an older guy with a cane comes in and he's nearly chaperoned directly to the front and given lots of assistance before everyone in line (including me.) I my torn rotator cuff combined with almost 100 lbs of boxes somehow less important than a guy with a cane and a letter? Literally ONE ENVELOPE. I ended up getting into the line after everything was labeled, and after hearing them tell people who came to the desk without a letter or box labeled that they could write on their package and come straight to the front of the line once they were ready. Of course, this also put them in front of me, even though I'd been there longer than anyone in the room other than employees. I'm honestly considering a complaint to the ADA about these guys--especially Baldie. What he did was rude, uncalled for and would have taken far less time if he'd done his part while I wrote on the packages, and maybe I'd be able to use my shoulder above chest high tonight, but sadly after all this extra schlepping I'm not. When I told him I couldn't carry the packages reasonable accomodations should have been made. Instead I was subject to rudeness, humiliation and bullying because this very mean and angry man decided to target me and use that bit of authority granted him by the USPS in the worst manner possible. I swear to God, the clerks on duty there today, particularly Baldie, were just trying to get me to break down in tears in front of them. And these bastards almost succeeded. Shame on them.

A part of the job interview process at the USPS located in the lobby of The Longwood building has…read moreto be a single question: "How much do you hate your life?" - if the answer is "I hate everyone and everything" then you automatically get hired. I am stuck coming to this post office location often because my work takes me into the Longwood Medical Area. There is ALWAYS a lineup because of 3 reasons: 1) They don't open when they say they will. The window says they open at 8:30AM, but whoever actually opens the post office operates on vacation time. They roll in whenever they roll in, which I have seen to be as late at 8:45AM. 2) They are the laziest employees in history. Seriously. Sylvester takes 5 minutes to type in one address. Branden is too busy watching YouTube videos on his phone. Lady is too busy eating her lunch at the register to look up and see the lineup forming. 3) They take extended breaks. I have been in line for 30 minutes (no exaggeration) and someone leaves their register when I arrive to "take a bathroom break" and doesn't come back for a half hour. This USPS location is the epitome of "government job security." No one cares about customer service, and you annoy them when you ask them to do anything. Avoid this location if you can, and go somewhere where the staff don't hate you.

I've reported this post office multiple times to the USPS and several city offices. Their customer…read moreservice is atrocious, their employees are rude, and they just can't manage to do the one job that counts in a post office - successfully sending and receiving mail. They've lost several packages of ours when we had them sent to the post office specifically for safe keeping, and, my personal favorite, they get angry when we return looking for the same package (which they lost) more than once. One employee in particular - Janet - should be fired immediately. She yells at her staff and her customers publicly, curses frequently in front of customers, and once - when we said that we would wait until they found a package of ours that they lost - threatened to call security and have us forcibly removed. A real winner, that one. Honestly, this post office is one of the top reasons I want to leave Allston and they're the only reason I will never ship USPS again. Avoid it any way you can.

I arrived at 7:30 AM to closed doors, which was bad enough, but by 8:00 AM, they still hadn't opened. Their excuse? 'Understaffing.' Yet, there was absolutely zero notification of this on their official website. This is a staggering level of incompetence. It's not even a question of good or bad customer service--there was literally no one there to provide it. Nearly 20 people were trapped waiting inside, all of them in a massive rush because they needed to mail their items before clocking into work. This chaotic mess is a direct result of USPS's systemic mismanagement. It is acceptable to face staffing shortages, but it is completely unacceptable to fail to update your official hours online. You mislead the public into believing you open at 6:00 AM, post a note on the wall saying 8:00 AM, and then fail to honor even that time due to a 'lack of personnel.' This is utterly ridiculous and disrespectful of people's time. Zero stars."

I think the negative reviews are mainly because of the long lines. I'm pretty sure most people…read moredon't realize they have a self check out for mailing packages and buying postage because even when the regular line is epically long the self check out line is empty or really short. The downside to the self check out is that if you try to buy postage or a stamp size label, it will get stuck in that slot. And when it gets stuck and you try to tell the employees, they will likely say "Yeah, that happens" (and do nothing about it) like they did to me. The slot that spits out the larger labels, those for packages, works fine. And if the handle of the package drop bin is stuck it means it is full. Just leave it on the desk near a clerk and don't wait in line. Moral of the story- use the self check out for packages. For stamps, buy them at usps.com or at a drug or grocery store.
