    I visited Elmhurst Post Office as I had a couple of items to send internationally that I wanted to get shipping options for. There was no line in the Post Office and I heard someone say "Next" so I approached the counter. The Post Office employee I approached was looking down at her phone watching videos which I was very surprised to see. Thinking perhaps I'd approached the wrong employee and this person was maybe on their break, I said "Excuse me, was it you that called me over?" She replied "Yes" very abruptly, without looking at me. I explained that I had a package to send and wanted to know what my options were. The employee continued to scroll through videos on her phone and barely looked up at me. She then said that it would cost $30 for up to 4 weeks delivery with no tracking. I asked her what the options would be with tracking. She replied "You need to buy a box and weigh it." It was clear that she was conveying the bare minimum of information and throughout this exchange she continued to look at videos on her phone. Still hoping to achieve what I had come in for, I explained that I knew the weight of the items I was sending was 2lbs, so it would be helpful if she could she give me a general idea of cost with tracking. I wasn't expecting a specific amount, but a ballpark estimate. She replied "I SAID that it's $30 for up to 4 weeks delivery with no tracking. Anything else you need to get a box and weigh it. I can't help you". I started to reply and she cut me off saying "I've already told you. I'm not sure why you're still standing there with all that sass asking me questions". I was shocked that a representative of USPS would be openly scrolling on their phone during work hours, especially when they are in a customer facing role. I was even more shocked that I was verbally attacked simply for asking for clarity on international shipping options. I then replied and said it felt as though she was more interested in looking at videos on YouTube than helping customers. She replied "I'm not looking at YouTube, I'm looking at Instagram and I don't know why you're still standing there." At this point I took a photo of her, knowing I would follow up with a complaint. It's clear from the two images that her whole demeanor was unprofessional. Seeing that I was taking a photo she said "Yeah, that's right, take a photo. Make sure you get my good side." I am beyond appalled that a USPS employee would be so incredibly rude and unhelpful. From the minute I walked over to the counter, I was treated with zero courtesy or professionalism, only an extraordinarily bad attitude. This is hands down the worst customer service interaction I have ever experienced. My husband who was also with me was equally horrified. I left the Post Office without having received any help whatsoever, only rudeness and insults. From reading the numerous terrible Google reviews for this location (1.7 stars out of 197 reviews) as well as Yelp (1.5 stars out of 83 reviews) it is clear that this was from from a one off incident. It cannot be the norm that government employees are able to conduct themselves this way. It's truly a disgrace. Not only was I not helped, but I was obstructed. I will have to FedEx the package instead because I'd rather pay extra money and have a professional service. We often hear about the plight of the USPS and how precarious its future is, but if this is the standard that staff are maintaining then it's not really a surprise.

    1. There's always only one or two ladies working throughout the day with a line out the door - just to pick up a package, one has to wait an hour or two. 2. I have constantly signed a package release to leave my package at the door of my apartment but they still leave a slip. I've even caught the mailman and asked him why he was leaving a slip since the package is supposed to be delivered today (first attempt) and why he doesn't have the package with him. he said they're not allowed to just leave it at the door but when I explained I have released the package but he has nothing to say.

    Jackson Heights

    This review is for the 82nd Street location in Jackson Heights, NY. This is a very densely…read morepopulated neighborhood, so long lines and crowded stores are the norm. Shipping at most places here is frustrating and time consuming. But this FedEx center has been like a breath of fresh air. I actually am relieved when I need to ship via FedEx, because my experiences here have consistently been positive in every aspect. This space is large, aesthetically pleasant and spotlessly clean, with ample room for waiting lines, although the staff are all so quick and efficient, I have never had a long wait (other carriers' locations in the area resemble an unkempt storage closet and customers endure long wait times on the sidewalk outside, exposed to the elements). On top of that, the staff here have always been 100% professional, knowledgeable and super pleasant to engage with, whether in person, or if I call with a question. These employees deserve a major commendation for excellence. I have relied on this business for many important, time sensitive shipments and they have always provided impeccable service. I am so happy we have this FedEx store a short walk from home.

    This is a new FedEx Office Print & Ship Center. Shop just opened two months ago. Had to return some…read moreitems purchased from Walmart. Walmart returns uses FedEx whereas with Amazon returns you go though UPS. Interacted with the two staff members in the counter. Luz and Evan greeted every customer that walked in the door as they approach the counter. Friendly staff here and was impressed with their knowledge with printing and shipping material via FedEx. There were computers and variety of printing machines. FedEx Office Print & Ship Center is like a one stop shop for all your printing, packing and shipping needs. You can use and recycle your boxes just take off original label and bring it to a FedEx. Staff prefers QR code so they can scan and print return label for you. This is when you return online. I spoke to Walmart customer service with one of the items, who email a label and I had issues printing the label-too big. Will definitely be back again.
