For those that work in the downtown area, this location is perfect for and US Post office needs. Sometimes the line can be fairly long, especially during lunch hours but it usually moves along at a decent pace. All of the employees here have always been really helpful with any questions I've had. I remember once I had a medium flat rate priority mail box I was sending out and the worker mentioned since it was pretty light, it would be cheaper to send it in my own box by weight. Very nice of him to suggest that. Parking around the area is metered only and there's a lot across of merchant street between merchant and king. The can be full midday but a lot of parkers are in and out of there fast. The one thing I do want to mention for those that frequent this location is that if you drop off "Click N Ship" items here, the drop off window now opens at 0930, not 0900 like before. read more

24 hrs self serve... That's exactly why I'm here...well to mail a package as well lol! The loathing of standing in line to mail a USPS flat rate boxes are the greatest convenience as you not only have a box ready to go the medium has a seal ready to go so it a matter of fill and stick. Not many post office has the self serve kiosk especially when their closed the convenience of this is amazing all you need to do is follow the prompts and a label prints out for you and drop it in the chute. This downtown building is just stunning and doesn't look like a post office at all from the outside and would have never know it was actually if it wasn't for my search on Yelp which helped me get it shipped. Thank you! read more

On a daily basis, post office vehicles double park and park side by side blocking the entire Diamond Head Lane on Richards Street. As this happens, post office employees are sitting in their vehicles playing on their phones or vaping. Some even double park and then congregate outside their vehicles. In addition to being illegal, the above type of conduct blocks traffic, decreases visibility for pedestrian and drivers, causes drivers to swerve in and out of lanes, obstructs drivers from seeing pedestrians and vice versa. The dangers and hazards are immense. It's only a matter of time before a major accident or loss of life occurs as a result of this conduct. I've asked the post office to be considerate of others and stop this behavior and they've refused. read more

I know it seems weird to talk about a post office in such a positive light because I feel like a lot of people have a negative connotation with the post office. However, this location is truly the best. Even if there's a long line, the clerks are able to get the line moving very quickly and you're probably waiting at 10 to 15 minutes. Every clerk that I've worked with here has been so nice and so helpful. Also, if you're looking for the newest stamp, they typically have them but if they don't because they've sold out, they usually get a restock quickly. Everybody here is so friendly and willing to work with you no matter what your situation is. I come here for a weekly mail drop, but I've also come here to renew my passport. All the supplies you might need are available so if you're last minute packing your mail, they have packing options available (you need to bring your own tape or buy it) And a bonus-- The location just got a new air conditioning. read more

Super long line. One person working the window while two employees talking story on the side

I visit this USPS location frequently because it is close to work. They have metered parking stalls in a small lot on King Street side of the building and the entrance is located on the Richard Street side. This location can be very busy because they are in the downtown area ans very convenient for those that work in the surrounding businesses. There is a kiosk outside on the same side of the entrance along with a parcel only drop box. They do have letter drop boxes on both the King Street and Richard Street sides and they are both drive up. There are a few on the Richard Street side where you can drop off from the sidewalk as well. They also have their drop off only counter inside to the right when you enter. The employees here are nice and helpful. Sometimes when it gets very busy, they have an employee at the door assisting customers and help to make some procedures go faster. If you plan to drop off mail around 9am, it gets busy with all the mail trucks waiting to get their delivery for the day. Sometimes, you can get lucky and there is no line. That's usually when right they open and after the lunch rush, but it can get busy as well... read more

US Post Office - Drop Off Counter - Inside - Post Offices Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Historical Building in Downtown Honolulu... The King David Kalākaua Building is really beautiful with its archways. My mom used to work here many years ago before the Department of Hawaiian Homelands moved to Kapolei. I only visit this building now for the US Postal Service. Usually, I just drop my mail off in the convenient blue drop boxes on the streets. Both Richards Street and Merchant Street have drop boxes! On Saturdays, when the Post Office is closed, mail is picked up by 4:15pm. Sometimes I use the self-service kiosk on the Richards Street side of the building. The self-service kiosk makes mailing packages and buying postage stamps more There is a window open for special pick up of mail (8:00 a.m. to noon on Saturday; and 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Monday to Friday) for customers who have mail boxes here. Parking in the lot on Merchant Street is metered. There's also metered street parking which is free on Sundays and holidays. Thanks to the U.S. Postal Service for their efficiency and dependability! read more

Outside post office door, an employee has a stand. Post Office is limiting the number of people inside. Employee will ask you about brings you here. I told her that I need postage for my envelope. Once inside, you can go to either of the 2 lines. Employee Hiroshi asked me what was inside my envelope and envelope was based on weight. My 6 x10 inch bubble padded envelope was rejected by 4 possibilities because of the size. Envelope weighed 3.80 oz with cost of $4.65. It will be sent to my high school friend in Pflugerville, TX. A 4 x 6 envelope may have postage of $.51. He also said forever stamps will be $.55 in August. Lesson that I learned is to weigh envelope before maiiling it out. read more

Why the one star for this historic site? Read on This PO has two ways to drop off mail in drop boxes. One sits on the Merchant St side and two others sit on Richards Street. The problem is these drop off boxes are supposed to provide ease of customers to drive by, stop, and drop off their envelopes thru the slots.....but they are less than convenient to use. The one on the Merchant side has the slot closed off and for you to use it, you have to PARK and get out of your car and go to the parking lot side to drop your mail into it. The ones on Richard Street are almost always blocked off in the early mornings by the Postal trucks themselves so you can't even drive up to them. Lose $$$ read more

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"--Herodotus, Histories (8.98) (trans. A. D. Godley, 1924) Let me start by saying that I'm a fan of the services and timely deliveries of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). Yes, I've heard about scandals and employment issues but I don't think that their internal issues have ever affected the quality of service that we've always had. My paternal side of the family who immigrated to Hawai'i in the late 1800s had used the independent Kamehameha V Post Office when it was located at the corner of Bethel and Merchant Streets (current home of the Kumu Kahua Theatre) until this Federal Building with Post Office was built in 1922. Because Hawai'i was still a Territory of the United States and did not gain Statehood until 1959, this "newer" building located at 335 Merchant Street became the administrative seat of the Territory of Hawai'i and Federal Building which held courtrooms and offices for the United States District Court for the District of Hawai'i. Its Mission/Spanish Revival architecture was popular during this era also matches many of our other historic government buildings in Downtown Honolulu, in particular, our Honolulu Hale (Honolulu City & County seat). In 1975, this Merchant Street Post Office was listed on the National Register of Historic Places under its original name of "U.S. Post Office, Customhouse and Courthouse" since it wasn't until 2003 when all of the federal agencies and departments moved to the new Prince Kūhiō Federal Building EXCEPT for the U.S. Post Office due to the sale of this property from the Federal Government to State Government. It was renamed to the "King Kalākaua Building" in honor of King David Kalākaua, last King of the Hawaiian Monarchy and former Postmaster General before ascending to power. Oh, let me get back to this post office which we use for its convenient location to our home, efficient and friendly workers, and enjoy walking into as we feel like we step back in Time. Due to COVID-19 safety guidelines, it is mandatory to wear a face mask when doing business here and social distancing is enforced while you're standing in line waiting for your turn. In years past, we've stood in line to mail our packages and cards during the busy Holiday Season and everyone remained friendly and respectful. Of course, we always make sure to check the Holiday mailing deadlines to ensure timely delivery. There is a metered parking lot fronting this building that is bordered by Richards and Mililani Streets and Merchant and South King Streets. Sorry, I dont know the parking fee because this Post Office is within walking distance from my home. Needless to say, this location is considered to be in our Historic Capitol District so youll also be nearby to the Iolani Palace, King Kamehameha V Judiciary Building, Hawaii Supreme Court, King Kamehameha Statue, and Hawaii State Library. If you drop more coins, you might want to do a bit more exploring of Hawaiis past. I can confidently say that we trust our USPS and hope they'll continue their great services to our Nation and the World. read more

This downtown location is a convenient walk from my work place. Each time I've gone to drop off my pre-paid flat rate box or purchase stamps, I was able to get in and out in a reasonable amount of time. Due to COVID, you would line up in the front of the entrance and a worker will ask what you need then direct you inside. Some of the workers at the windows are friendlier than others but they all work efficiently. There's a small metered parking lot if you're not within walking distance. read more

Minimally, they are consistent. I mean not only are their mailcarriers (note: they carry; they do not deliver!) unable to mentally process their own USPO labels (e.g. let your carrier kknow when and where), but the Post Office inself seems to exist solely to give the staff a place to hang out for 8 hours on the clock. I tried every one of theiir options on the label to leave my package, and they NEVER left the package. Then, my having given up, they said I could pick it up on a certain day at this location. Well, 40 minutes later, they could still not find my package. Side note: it took them 15 minutes to find their manager, and that only led to their mock efforts to locate my package. I finally had to give up and leave so I was not late for work. In the future, I will walk to the factory as it will be faster. read more

Located across the beautiful Iolani palace I regularly ship packages and mail envelopes from this location. If I don't need a receipt and my boxes were prepaid, then I will drop them off outside in the bins accordingly. The line can get really long inside. But the workers are usually nice!! I've had to mail over a 100boxes and they were still scanning past the time they were closed but were in such a good mood!! Kudo's to those 2 men. I split my transaction so 2 of them can diligently and quickly scan through them all. **Make sure to feed your meter. There are parking police who regularly check the meters and apply tickets fast. I have not experienced that fortunately. read more

This year's #ThankYouThursday review goes out to the hardworking men and women of the US Post Office. Who knows what sort of boring nonsense I might've gotten myself into if you folks hadn't delivered my endless amounts of COVID lockdown and impulse online shopping packages. Thank you, for braving your health and safety by continuing to work while I get to work from the safety and comfort of my home and get (almost) everything delivered directly to me. In my opinion one of the most beautiful post offices in Honolulu sits quietly off of Richards and Merchant Street. This downtown postal hub is a historical reminder of Honolulu's business district's history. The high ceilings and beautiful architecture all while being surrounded by other historic and important buildings in Honolulu's downtown area bring to life the countless stories of our city's past. Add to that a beautiful and sunny Hawaii day, what more could you ask for?! As a forever resident of Honolulu, taking a trip here is always easy on the eye and mind, and often serves as a great reminder of why we're so #LuckyWeLiveHawaii. Is it the beautiful buildings so rich with history and character or the all around aloha spirit that so many of us possess and continue to share wherever we go? Regardless of the reason, the list of things that continues to draw me to this post office is endless. Organized, calm, and in some ways relaxing, this location is one of the most pleasant I've been to. Whether I'm here to pick up a package, buy some stamps or to drop off something to mail, everyone here is friendly, helpful, and always kind. I can imagine it getting quite busy here during peak office hours, but the structure and flow here is in my opinion, seamless. Of course, we all know that parking in downtown can often be a nightmare, but this post office shares a tiny strip of a parking lot with the surrounding businesses and offices. I usually will go down Merchant street before making the quick turn into the parking lot that is sandwiched between King and Merchant street. Here it's metered parking, so definitely bring your change. PO Boxes line the hallways surrounding the main entrance area. The main entrance is located on the Ewa side of the building on Richards Street. With self-service stations and package drop off bins outside you can easily avoid the crowd (if any) inside. After doing my business here, I always like to stroll and sometimes wander the area--I mean how could you not?! With Iolani Palace right across of King Street and the King Kamehameha statue next door I'm always awestruck and reminded that: dang, I can't believe we live here! read more

Parking off of King and Richard street in metered stalls. Is there more than 1 lobby? Or was there a renovation recently? I haven't been to this location in such a long time I can't even remember what it looked like before. This location is safely practicing COVID properly. Mask up. Social distancing. Today, there was a long line, and it was moving very slowwwwwwly. I had a box that weighed almost 30 pounds and 1 window wasn't excepting boxes weighing more than 30 pounds . Each window had a plexiglass. The workers and customer service here is horrible.. they are no where near friendly. We were just in the area so we dropped by. I will not be visiting this location again. And a 25 pound box costed me 87.90 to ship to Vegas so use flat rate boxes, a few of them, it will be cheaper! read more

I parked near the US Post Office and walked to Hotel St. for donuts and pizza near by. While walking back to my car I realize, I have mail to drop off at post office. I needed to purchase additional stamps, so I used the automated postal machine out in front of Post office. The automated machine is very simple to use, when you want to skip the lines. I was able to get my lunch, desserts, and even an impromptu post office stop within 30 minutes. After walking to my car I remembered the grounds of US Post Office brought back such wonderful memories to me. This post office looked familiar and then it hit me, this is where I took my wedding photos. Yes!, I was one of those that had pictures taken here. On weekends, this place gets busy for wedding photo shoots. This was 21 years ago and the front lawn of the post office is still maintained nicely. This US Post Office is really convenient for all the businesses in Chinatown. The will call window, along with US post office building is so nostalgic. I like how they have the 2 big blue mailboxes on the side of road for a quick drop off of your mail. The metered parking that is in front of post office sure gets packed. The hours for post office is Monday-Friday from 9:00 am - 4:30 pm and closed on weekends. To the wonderful memories & now I have a plan for my other half to test his memory. I plan to be back at this Post Office, for my next post office run and this time I am bringing my other half along. I enjoyed my post office visit today and now that the Holiday season is approaching, I better get those packages out to beat the rush. #111/100/2017 read more

Workers are incompetent and this shows with the USPS mgmt. For the umpteen time they try to deliver a parcel to the mailbox and they say no access to property which means it's locked. The gate is not locked and open. Complaints were filed with consumer advocates and no improvement. The problem their sorting went to the wrong carrier. In kakaako they have a lot of carriers. This parcel sat in this dummies vehicle for 2 days. They didn't bother to check the vehicle tracking on who swiped it no access. These managers should retire or quit she a asian lady said she makes mistakes .Do you want these dummies to run Richard st po.!! By the way hername is Darlene read more

For some reason I dread post offices and mail stores, but this is exception to the rule for me. On every occasion I have been treated with respect and have had pleasant experiences with the people here. And 9/10 I do something wrong, which is probably why I dread mailing things, but every time the folks here are able and willing to help. And if they can't they kindly tell you why. There is one employee, I think his name is Allan (based on another users comment) who is the best and makes this location super awesome. Kinda weird to say that about usps. read more

If you want more selections on stamps, come to this post office!! This is where I got awesome Forever Batman stamps a couple of years ago, and just purchased some Forever Dragon stamps lol. Oh, by the way, the cost for forever stamps will go up again, from 50 cents to 55 cents!! Geez, I feel like stamps were just 31 cents not too long ago, and I had to buy 3 cent stamps after it went up to 34 cents. I usually stop by this post office after work if I'm finished early. It's all metered parking stalls, and there's usually spots open. I have a strategy to share to those lucky few that actually read my reviews to avoid paying the meters: when you're driving down the street to the left turn into the stalls, drive a little slower, and look at all the meters that's available to see which one has the most time left. You're welcome! I always find a stall with time whenever I go. If there's enough time, I just venture over to Roots and Relics to browse around. However, be aware of how time you have because the parking enforcement officers frequent this area pretty often. They do the exact same as me by driving slowly to see which meter is red and then start giving out tickets. This Post Office is generally busy, but the line moves pretty quickly. The staff here are very friendly, quick and efficient, and professional. read more

Main office in Honolulu, I've always had great fast service here. The staff is very friendly. I go usually at late too, never had a much of a wait. The nicest thing about this location is the Spanish Colonial architectural. Terracotta roof shingles, Vaulted ceiling in the walk way, many pillars and arches. It's a pretty location. Goes well with the historic building in the area. I am unsure about its former use. But makes for some cool pictures in the right light, read more

Came here during my lunch break since it's closer to my job and I'm in a pressed time. Found parking in front but the post office on the side and they are open today. Today is July 3 and I thought they will be closed but they aren't! So happy cuz right when I walked right in, there wasn't a long line I'm the second person and it was real quick in 5 min. Had to go buy stamps for my co worker and I had to mail out a small package. It went smooth and they had plastic cover in front of the register due to their COVID . I would have thought the post office is busy but it's actually not. Will be here again if needed to mail out or buy stamps . read more

Surprise surprise .... there's actually a post office I like! For those that don't know, I have the worst luck with delivery services .... FedEx, UPS and the post office (mainly the one in Lunalilo). So it's a surprise for me when I repeatedly have great experiences at this location. I have found myself having to take my packages down to mail them off myself .... the mailman somehow 'forgets' to pick them up 0.o So the first time I took all of my packages and boxes down, I told the really kind woman helping me about my pick up dilemma. Even though it wasn't this locations wrong doings, she apologized profusely. The mailman not picking up items from my home isn't the first time it's happened. Anyway .... the kind woman helping me, who I should've remembered her name, she said to insure that my packages go out when they should .. it would be better to just come here and drop them off. I will admit that going to the post office and waiting in line with numerous packages wasn't ideal for me. Having them pick it up when they grab the outgoing mail just seemed easier. But, I get what she was telling me. I guess I do have to get out more in the world and interact with people!!! Hahahahahaha!!!! It is because of her that I have just opted to go to this post office and do my business. I don't always get her, but every other person that has helped me has been very nice and very helpful. The best thing for me was, every time I've gone ... there was NO LINE!!!! Maybe the automated machine outside helps with that. I also noticed that they do not do passport services anymore at this location. Which is a bummer for me, since I still have to get mine done!!! Lol It's surprising for me to say that this location is a godsent!! The customer service is out of this world!!! I just wish that it was like that at every location. And it doesn't matter what time I go down, whoever is helping me always seems upbeat and friendly. They do small talk and joke around, it made me feel more comfortable. My motto this year has been to go where you are appreciated, not where you're just another customer. Someone told me this yeaaaars ago, but it hadn't stuck until now. I will continue to come here, and I suggest you do too!! 35/100 Challenge 2017 read more

The US Post Office in Honolulu is located on the ground floor on Merchant Street. The post office shares the same building as the customs department. There are several metal mailboxes around the parking lot and along the sidewalk. There is an automated postal center for customers to purchase stamps, print labels, or even renew their PO Boxes. I find myself dropping off mail in one of the metal mailboxes along the sidewalk...I always make sure that I drop off the mail before the last pickup of 5:30pm on the weekdays. I even purchase some FOREVER stamps from this location. The automated postal center accepts debit and credit card as payments. The US Post Office in Honolulu comes in handy especially for the surrounding businesses. I imagine with the holiday season this post office will be busy with the office workers dropping and mailing off packages to other parts of the world. 178/200 read more

You've got mail...snail mail, that is. You know back in "ancient" times (before the internet and all its technological glory), humans used to write and send correspondence by hand. Sounds a little crazy, I know. But enough of that nonsense...onto the review! Okay, I can't really suggest the "best" time to come to this post office because it's usually hit-or-miss. Sometimes it's packed. Sometimes it's not. But the postal employees here definitely will NOT go postal on you for not knowing what the heck you're doing. On the contrary, they are all extremely helpful and nice. The service here is great - which I think is the most important thing. HOURS OF OPERATION: (Monday - Friday) 9:00am to 4:30pm (Saturday - Sunday) closed LAST DAILY COLLECTION: (Monday - Friday) 5:30pm (Saturday) 4:15pm (Sunday) closed FACT: This building was formerly known as the U.S. Post Office, Custom House and Court Building. It is a historic structure listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The Hawai'i Dep't of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) moved into the building (I *think* it's on the third floor) in 2003 after financing for a boutique shopping center project fell through; the US Post Office continues to occupy the western corner of the first floor. FUN FACT: For all you LOST fans out there, this post office was featured in Season 2, Episode 9: "What Kate Did". It was the bus station where Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) was captured by the U.S. Marshall (Edward Mars). Prior to being arrested, Kate purchased a bus ticket to Tallahassee at the (now idle) cashier window located to the extreme far right along the wall. I know this for a fact because I happened to be at the post office while the crew set up for filming that day. I tried to sexy walk my way to an "extras" role on set. Obvs, I need to work more on this because it didn't work. EVEN FUN-NER FACT: The revamped CBS show 'Hawaii Five-0' films its police headquarter interior scenes in the back of the post office. Although you can't see anything from the lobby, you can usually see all the film trucks, vans, crew (during filming) parked along the narrow Mililani Street out back. Directly across this street is the Ali'iolani Hale a.k.a. the Hawaii Supreme Court building a.k.a. the building with the King Kamehameha I statue out front - which is the location for the 'Hawaii Five-0' police headquarters "exterior." Anyways, you should definitely try your sexy walk out there. And there's always a chance you'll spot Alex O'Loughlin (Steve McGarrett) and his drool-worthy abs working on set. Omg, those abs. God bless, those abs. P.S. *wipes drool* You're welcome. read more

US Post Office - Post Offices Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is one of the most beautiful Post Offices I've ever been to. Situated in downtown Honolulu, it's right in the historical area with plenty to see and do. Post Office Boxes line most of the outside hallways around the courtyard. The entrance to the lobby is on the Ewa side of the building, not the front. They offer a self-service station and package drop-off box outside to avoid the lines. If possible, I recommend printing your own shipping label and just dropping it off. If you must see a postal worker in person, it's not an unpleasant experience here. The lobby is old, but well organized with postal products and plenty of tables to package or fill out forms. The line of people can get long, but the staff works hard to go quickly. I've always had nice people help me here, whether mailing or just buying stamps. They are friendly and happy to help. If you're a tourist in Honolulu, make sure to stop by and walk through the building on your way to 'Iolani Palace and the Kamehameha Statue. read more

If you are ever in need of postal services while you are in downtown, this is the place to go! I much prefer it over UPS or Federal Express because it's so much cheaper. Also it's almost as fast. You could send up to 70 pounds worth of stuff with 3 business day shipping to the west coast or 4-5 business days to the east coast for less than $18. Just need to use their flat rate Priority Mail boxes. If you're shipping lighter items it's still very affordable and surprisingly cheap if it weighs less than 13 ounces. Otherwise it counts as at least a pound if it's more than 13 ounces. Whenever possible, it is best to ship by first class mail because it is just as fast, but much cheaper. One thing that I do not like about this location is that it constantly smells a little sour inside. There's the lingering homeless person smell and I can't figure out why because I never see any homeless people during the day. One thing that I love is how the Automated Postal Center machine is located outside. This allows 24/7 access and makes it really convenient for me to ship packages, pay for my post office box, or to buy stamps at my own convenience. After moving to the west side, I have rediscovered how convenient this is because these machines seem to only be available on in town. I can't find them at any post offices around where I live. read more

To my dismay with 20 minutes to spare before closing I was informed I had to obtain a money order. I quickly walked over to the post office and to my surprise...it was empty! I was the only person in line. In less than 3 mins, I was out of there, money order in hand and headed back to the library. The gentleman who helped me was friendly and efficient. Every window had a staff member just waiting to help someone. This might be my new favorite post office! No wait, no lines, it was unbelievably fantastic. read more

We sent in our mortgage payment check on 12/24 to arrive at the Mortgage Co. by Jan 1-3. But as of Jan. 14, our check still has not arrived. I try to support the Post Office by using the mail and purchasing stamps but they are quickly losing me as a supportive customer. I understand that there are some delays in the mail due to weather, Covid, etc. but this is unacceptable. Our Mortgage Co. said we can put a stop-payment on the check we sent but my husband and I each wrote a check for the mortgage so we would incur $60 in fees total for stop payment. Is the Post Office going to reimburse us for this? Also, I ordered stamps on-line recently so I wouldn't have to go to the PO. It's taking 5-7 days to receive! - for stamps!! It would have been faster foe me to walk to the PO. Plus I had to pay for shipping! read more

If you work downtown, then you most likely know the location of this post office very well. Sharing part of the building named for King David Kalkaua, I've bought tons and tons of stamps from this location for work and personal uses and they're always happy to help me out. The also take applications for your passport, have an automated package drop-off, and a ton of PO boxes. The building itself is a nice older kind of stucco-ish Hawaii style building. The wait lines seem to move fairly quickly here also. If you're driving in the area, please be aware of all the pedestrians and the many crosswalks that litter the area. You'll see people from all walks of life in this area and even guys walking around with golf clubs (because there's a golf store right across the street). Even people just taking a lunch break at the steps of their lawn. Additionally, they have metered parking that is usually full. If you can wait a bit, it usually comes available in a short amount of time. read more
