    View from Kalakaua Park.

    Very old school post office. They have open air post office. That means don't expect air conditioning. No self serve machines, but there are two windows and rarely gets busy. Mail boxes are vintage looking too! None of that gray boring ones but these has Victorian design. Parking is free across First Hawaiian Bank. Yes, there are meters but its free for I think 30 mins? You're not gonna hang out here all day. You like architecture? Then this is a must stop.

    Ran in to buy some post card stamps and what a nice Post Office this is. The Downtown Hilo Post Office was built in 1937 and designed by Henry O. Whitfield as part of a Federal Office Building. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It is very close to the Tsunami Museum and the waterfront area of Hilo. This location is convenient and I did not have to stand in line long. I made it in and out of there pretty quick and for me, that is good enough for 4 YELP STARS.

    A simple pick up window would expedite the line significantly.

    This is a small post office but it offers pretty much what you need. Boxes outside that you can…read morerent. General delivery if you live in an area that doesnt receive mail and there is no box available. There is parking space on the side or all around the plaza too. Sometimes the line might get a little long but the ladies that work there move fast and know their job. There are boxes available, stamps and couple of packaging supplies but nothing else.

    The staff have always been great it's just the system they work within that is the problem and…read moreseeing as I see the same complaints I'm about to make mentioned here by others years ago nothing's changed, apparently. The PO box prices have gone up considerably yet they've cut staff. The region is one of the fastest growing in the entire state yet they only have one person behind the counter more often than not. The line's an hour long, more often than not, which is especially hard on elderly and injured people who don't have someone else to do errands for them. At least make an automated process efficient and transparent. Even though the website says you can apply for a PO box at that location in person, you are denied the ability to do so in person. The website will say there are 3 boxes open, but when you go there and ask they'll say there aren't any. Months down the road, the site will still say there are 3 open, and when you try to reserve it some error happens after you've spent your lunch break filling out the form to get to that point, and that was after standing in line to be told you have to do it online. So, you have to go stand in line in to talk to them again. A few months from now, I bet it will still say that there are 3 boxes available....
