I found out while visiting Fort Wayne that an O.G. college buddy from the OC is actually originally…read morefrom Fort Wayne. Small word! He also has a tangential connection to the Fort Wayne Famous Coney Island restaurant. Even smaller world, because I could see this hot dog restaurant from my hotel window! So I popped into the wiener shop to get my friend a souvenir. I wanted him to receive his gift post-haste, and I also wanted the package to have Fort Wayne postage on it. (It's the little details, you know?) So I headed to the nearest post office to send my package. This Fort Wayne post office did the job! Like lots of post offices, it's old and looks like it's from the 1980s. But it had all of the things I needed: a big envelope to mail the gift in, three clerks at the counter (I didn't wait long at all), and even a pen, which I ended up needing, too. They even had a dish of candy! I didn't take any, but that's nice that they offered. I was in and out in less than five minutes. This post office is also open until 6 p.m. on the weekdays, which was nice for me because I didn't feel like I had to rush to get there. You should know: There is one entrance and one exit! This post office is located on a one-way street, and you need to drive by the exit in order to get to the entrance. I didn't know that and entered through the exit, so that's why I'm telling you. Don't be an exit-enterer like me.

After a debacle at a local UPS store, where I found out that for the purposes of that shipper,…read morePuerto Rico is considered a foreign country and requires we fill out customs paperwork among other bonkers requirements, I decided to drive to the tried and true USPS. This is not my local branch, as I live out in Van Wert, OH. I was in the area though, and my branch was closed for the day. So in I came to ship a Christmas gift to my friends in Puerto Rico. This place needs more order. USPS does not have a service to box your stuff for you. They have supplies (you pay for) to box your own items, but they are located in different areas. The boxes are where the lines are, the tape is near the entrance in another room. You of course do not know this and are given no signage to help direct you. The line was enormous, it took almost an hour for me to get to the front of the line to ship the gift. Thankfully, I got it done. The things you do for people you care about..

I have never visited a place that I had to deal with this level of unprofessional and biased attitude. This clerk we have now identified as Cathy with the blonde. Karen, haircut always seems very agitated, irritable, short tempered and has a lack of customer value in the customers that are keeping her employed and that she serves. Upper management should definitely take a look at all the commentaries based on this specific clerk and take immediate action.

This is probably the worst service I've experienced in my life. From the greeting, service, ending,…read moreeven delivery, horrid. I've moved twice in 4 years trying to get out diplomat service area. There is a particular lady that works the front counter should be fired immediately! Manager as well because he allows her unprofessional and bias attitude. Customer service can only be accepted one way. Good. Performance in this location is just as bad. Put mail on hold, they send it back or misplace it. Deliver wrong mail or deliver multiple junk mail packets. I know this is because I confronted them about their service and they are retaliating. Called corporate postal number in Chicago and Indianapolis. Both transfer me to another person. If it's a felony for a person to tamper with people mail, same rules should apply to the workers and carriers of the postal service. This is the 4th step in many to get attention brought to this matter for better service that is expected of any employee.

I visited twice in June and the staff was very kind and treated my items with great care. Everything arrived safely! I also sent some items to my mother's sister, and they also arrived quickly and in tact. I appreciated the time they all took to find the least expensive way to ship with the right amount of item cushioning. As other reviewers have noted, the prices are not cheap. I have shipped from lots of places in California that cost a lot more and arrived damaged. My mother used Pak Mail to send me items, and they always arrived as good as when she shipped them! Pak Mail is worth every cent!

They helped me pick the most suitable packing supplies. They packaged it for me and verified the address. They have a very friendly staff and the ease is sending packages is awesome.
