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 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.

However, recentlyyyyy I've been to this location twice, and it's been a really pleasant experience ... even with it being around the holidays.

Not only is he assertive and efficient, he's also really friendly and ... happy with everyone. Not characteristics you often see from PO employees ... sadly. Both times, I've come in with 10+ packages to mail out, and both times, he's helped me with a smile on his face and with friendly conversation. Such a relief ... since honestly ... I got anxious having to take so many packages to be mailed. Didn't know if I would be met with visible annoyance and a rude attitude, but ... pleasantly and surprisingly, I was not. He brightened my day both days. Regarding "value" or this place ... it's a PO. Do I think prices are higher than they were before? Sure. Is there anything that can be done about it? I don't think so.
