The Colonie Post Office is mine, even though I don't live in the town of Colonie. Its address also totally overwhelmed my navigation, but I got a lovely tour of other side streets. This is a larger post office, more function but also a bit gloomier. I appreciated the automatic opening doors, as I expect those carrying in parcels also would. The employees here are certainly helpful, but maybe not quite as enthusiastic (though my regular postal carrier, who I assume works here, is quite friendly and helpful.

I really have nothing bad to say about this post office, even if I tried, which I think many people…read moredo, just because of the stigma the phrase "US Post Office" is commonly associated with. I get it. I've been to plenty Post Offices in my life to feel the same. This place, however, really is different, and special. Why? Well, maybe for me because it is hidden in a popular strip mall just minutes from my work. That means not only can I take care of postal stuff quickly at lunch, I can also grab a bite and still be in time for my 1:00pm meeting. Also, I don't know if it is because of the location, or that people just don't mail stuff any more these days, but there is hardly ever a line. It is a tiny spot, not like the Post Offices in Down Town Albany, but it still has everything, and the Postal Workers at the counter are always pleasant. My favorite thing about this post office, is that they are open Saturday until 5pm. That is always nice when I need to take care of some mailings on the weekend. You won't find many other post offices open all day Saturday, which leads me to believe many more people appreciate and use this location. And, like I said, if going on a Saturday, I always pick a nice place to eat in the plaza, which has many.

The Post Office has parking for customers which I appreciate because you have to pay to park on the streets. Open entering they have all of the priority envelopes and packages to choose with the prices which was quite convenient because you don't find that consistently at all Post Offices. They also had a pen which was great because I forgot mine in the car. The Post Office was not busy at all which I appreciated at lunch time. Once I chose my envelope, filled it out and went to get on line there was no line so they immediately served me and were friendly which is something I do find at most Post Offices. It is an older post office and looks outdated but the customer service and resources were outstanding. And, the parking was fabulous.

Reviewing mostly for the historical aspects, not the Post Office service itself. (The PO does have…read morean oldschool homey feel about it, to be sure.) The building is a fine brick 1852 church on the National Register of Historic Landmarks, which went through several other uses before ending up as the US PO for Newtonville. Unfortunately the inside's been gutted and refitted to the Post Office's needs - in mid-20th century stasis - so you can't see much on the inside. It's a very narrow counter dominated by old-school brass combination PO boxes (cool enough) but quite cramped. So what there is to see of the architecture, you can see from outside. We went to see the Chester Arthur "Exhibit" (see photos) which is basically a collection of clippings about forty or fifty years old. It's an oddity, here based on the tenuous connection to Arthur's father, who by local legend lived nearby for a number of years. The locals swear it was Arthur's "childhood" home, but given he was 26 years old when his father first took up residence and practicing law in Kansas and New York City during those years, it's a bit of a stretch. Arthur's father, a minister, may have preached at the church briefly. This local legend was ballooned to include renaming a nearby street "Arthur Street" and was probably enhanced by the fact Arthur's buried in the nearby Albany Rural Cemetery, but the actual historical significance for one of our most obscure Presidents is somewhere between low and non-existent. That said: there's just something really touching about the fact this little display has sat here unchanged for half a century. If you go in to buy stamps, admire it, but I wouldn't plan your vacation trip around it.

Sure, you can get stuck in line here (don't be a fool and come on a Saturday afternoon right before Christmas) but usually I am in and out fast. When I do get delayed, it is because some idiot brought a bunch of packages likely containing batteries and perfumes and bombs and needs extra insurance on each of them... so they take a while. There isn't much the USPS can do about staffing for these situations anyway. So, just come at non-lunch hours and you will have no problems with this place.
