The hours they have during the work week make it hard to get there when you need to. Also, only being open for an hour on Saturday seems kind of pointless. The people are usually really nice though. read more

Absolutely terrible. Refuses to deliver packages to my apartment building because the employees…read morecan't be bothered to walk up stairs and put packages in front of the door. Instead they throw them up the stairs and then assault people when called out on it. Waited on hold for well over half an hour and never even got to speak to anyone. So when trying to find out if I have mail waiting for me at the post office, I have to jump through automated hoops and click through menus, only to be ignored by the employees. Excellent job guys, thank you for nothing.

Prairewood Post office in Fargo North Dakota is run and staffed by complete morons. I sat in my car…read moreand watched them pick up a ringing phone without answering, just dropped it back down instead of speaking and hanging up on the customer. I have a package I've had delivered EVERY SINGLE MONTH for six months. Now suddenly they can't deliver it. No reason why. Just can't. Tells me to come get it. And their useless website, that they push you to use, says my package is available for redelivery, but that that the site can't do that right now. "Right now" has now gone on for over 24 hours. The service is rude, the staff is obnoxious and lazy, so going into that crap office is whole nother nightmare. We're paying for this shitty service. Why? I recorded everything and sent in a formal complaint with everything in it to the USPS federal headquarters. If every person in Fargo who gets screwed by these mouth breathing yutzs complains, firings will start. So go complain. Prairewood Post Office is the WORST office in North Dakota. It wouldn't surprise me if it was the worst office in the US. Crappy, crappy, crappy place. If zero or negative stars were an option, I'd have used it.

It takes up to 14 business days (not including weekends and holidays) for forwarding to start. Upon follow-up they had no record of the forwarding information and we were told to contact the Mesa post office. (Talk about the run around treatment). Also, many calls were made daily for several days and no one answered. They stated only one person works in the back and they are busy processing mail or maybe out doing deliveries. Well, why have a phone number to call when no one is going to answer. This is very very extremely frustrating! So sad! Thanks. Btw I would not rate even a one star but I guess the system requires a star rating.
Don't let the reviews fool you. I know these mail carriers work their butts off. I have seen them…read moreout in about during the holiday season from as early as 6:30 in the morning to as late as 8:00 p.m in some instances. These are NOT lazy workers. They always impressed me with their determination to deliver under any circumstances. I have seen them deliver in blizzards. That is a lot of risk, and it saddens me that there are barely any one these days that are willing to do a positive review and/or say thank you to any of the carriers for delivering their packages in horrible weather. They are the epitome to their motto - "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." Sorry for the terrible reviews! Older fella at the front desk was super nice the one time I came in the other day to get my passport. I just don't get it! P.S I would post a picture of the carrier walking in knee deep snow, but I lost it on my old phone. It was an epic photo and that alone just tells me none of you can do their jobs. If you can do better than them then you go help them! I know I can't! They always tell me they're short staffed after all... Again, thank you for doing the extremely underappreciated work and getting me my meds through yet another snow storm.
I had to mail my credit card bill and it had to be there in 3 days, I told the lady that and asked…read moreher what I needed to do to get there on time. She said to send it 2 day priority mail and charged me about $6.00 for it. It didn't get to my credit card company until 7 days, yes 7 days later. I could have mailed it with a stamp, saved myself the $5.00 and it still would have gotten there around the same time. I got charged a late fee from my credit card company. I went back the post office and explained everything and was told sorry not our fault, we never said it was a guarantee and we wont refund your $5.00. I tried to resolve this by going higher up the chain and got the same answer, not our fault and it's our policy not to refund the money. I have never dealt with a company so unprofessional, what ever happened to the customer is right, and doing what is needed to fix the situation. I guess they must feel they can do whatever they want because where else can we go to send or receive mail. I will not go back to this post office again, I will drive the 15 minutes to the next town. So much for our great postal service.

I purchased a newly built home approximately 2 miles outside of Park Rapids last month. The first…read morething I did was submit a change of address with the USPS. We were told there was an issue with the post office not recognizing our address because it is a new build. They had me contact the post master general and submit our address to be recognized saying it should take up to 10 days for that request to be processed. We than purchased a mailbox kit from L & M Fleet Supply that came with all of the necessary pieces to Install our mailbox. We follows the USPS guidelines and put our mailbox up on country road 1 next to all of the other ones for our street. We received mail for 2-3 days and than received a note in our mailbox that it wasn't up to code and needed to be moved closer to the road. We followed all guidelines. We took photos of our mail box vs everyone else's and were told by Jeremy that our mailbox was actually within guidelines and the others were not and they would be flagged to comply. End of story right? NOPE! Now we are not receiving any mail at all and receiving notifications that our mail and packages are to be picked up at the post office as requested by customer. No I did not request to pick my mail up at the post office, not ever. So the mail handler made the decision to not deliver our mail. We have stopped in and tried to file a complaint with Scott. He said he would drive by our mail box and see what the issue may be and get back to us. Never heard anything so called again this morning and Scott Informed is that he did drive by but doesn't have any information for us because Jeremy is out of town. Here we are almost a full month in our new home and still not receiving critical mail! And definitely not receiving any support from the USPS. If anyone has any advice or ideas, we would be extremely grateful to hear them.

I do believe sometimes the prices can be a tad too high on items but for the most part they are pretty fair and do mark things down if they sit more than a couple weeks.

It took about an hour to get through the museum. There's a couple of buildings and things to see outside of the main museum.

You can bring your own picnic lunch or they have a list of restaurants that'll deliver to the museum! When I visited the museum in summer 2020, they required your information for contact tracing. Not sure what covid-protocals they have in place now, but they definitely took it seriously! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Alexandria!
