I still love this post office because it's central and close to all of the places I need to run errands at on my lunch breaks during the week. Honestly though, I was getting pretty irritated with the 2 big pot holes by the parking entrance and exit but when I went today to mail out some packages and to check my po box, I was pleasantly surprised that they filled in those potholes. This is still a great post office and they still have great employees. Check them out.

A never received 1099R for a deceased loved one brought me to the local Social Security office,…read morewithout an appointment. I did have an online account for said person but the website changed and I couldn't recreate a new log in. PARKING: There were 13 on-street, 1-hour parking stalls (which are never unoccupied) fronting the building, or a parking garage with supposedly high rates according to other reviewers. I forced my spouse to do a drop off & pick up! EXPERIENCE: Located on the first floor of One Main Plaza, security will escort you in while asking some safety questions. He then had me check in on the slow-responding kiosk which issued a ticket number, just like the DMV. The small office had an adequate amount of chairs and 8 windows. A TV screen showed called numbers but no chimes or alerts were sounded to get your attention, but the security guard, out of the goodness of his heart, would verbally announce the numbers and which window to go to. I was called in about 30 minutes which I thought was pretty quick judging by the amount of people waiting. The guy who helped me asked for a death certificate, which I had on my phone but I wasn't allowed to email it to them to see or print out. I did have a hard copy POA which he thankfully accepted along with a few security questions. 5 minutes later I had document in-hand! I think he knew my predicament and assisted me fully because he cared. Much appreciated and thank you! OVERALL: If you've had a bad experience here, I'm pretty sure you were partly to blame. Be civil and you'll go far.

It was such…read morean easy process for us to go in, sign up digitally (the security guard will assist you), we only sat for a few minutes and were talking to a really helpful agent who went out of his way to help us. I just wish we had got the gentleman's name so I could give him a personal shout out here! We had to visit the DHS to complete the process and he made sure we knew what to ask for, gave us some print outs and forms to take with us, and made sure we knew where we were going. He was empathetic and helpful and it was such a relief as we though it was going to be a hard process after dealing with the Red Cross and FEMA recently in the Lahaina disaster. Easy parallel street parking outside, friendly security guard at the entrance will show you the way, the security guard at Soc Sec welcomes you and shows you the ropes. Sooo easy. Mahalo to everyone at the Soc Sec office for helping us.

The woman who helped me was friendly and my entire transaction took less than 5 minutes. The place has been renovated in recent years and was clean and well organized. They could probably do with a few more chairs, though it would probably impede foot traffic a little bit as it is a small office. Overall, it was a pretty pleasant morning.

Johanna helped us get Part B, plus she managed to get some recent hospital bills taken care of, and she made some great suggestions such as applying for SNAP online. All in 20 minutes and one form! With west Maui being in such a state and having to deal with Red Cross and FEMA bureaucracy which is draining it was a relief for something to be easy for once! And to know that my friend would now have health cover even if he didn't have a home (working on that one with Red Cross!). The Lahaina disaster is HUGE and life is a struggle for a lot of displaced people now. Johanna (I hope I'm spelling your name correctly) was an angel for my 71 year old friend who is mentally and physically exhausted and fragile. 5* all the way for this office and Johanna :)

For packages, mail, and vital deliveries, this minuscule town couldn't survive without it! Yes, it's a bit dingy, since this is a tropical beach destination and has been weathered by the elements, but it puts the fun in functional! Of note is the cool wooden counter, certainly the highlight of this otherwise simple post office. It sits on a strip next to the bank, a gift shop, and a restaurant.

I was called up for Jury duty and thoroughly enjoyed the process, even though I didn't get picked…read moreto serve on the jury itself. Pity as I would have liked to be part of the process. It is an entertaining and informative 3/4 day to pick the jury from the selected attendees, with plenty of breaks for refreshments, toilet breaks and meter feeding. (If you park at Safeway you can catch a free shuttle Bee bus to the court, much easier than trying to find parking - the bus stop is right outside the courthouse). Attendees gas mileage is paid by cheque afterwards as long as you fill in the relevant form. I'm hoping that I am picked at a later date, so I can fill my civic duty and because I find it such a fascinating process.

My review of the judiciary system is in two parts, one for jury duty and the other for small claims…read morecourt, both of which I'm familiar with. JURY DUTY: I must be one of the crazy few who actually likes jury duty, LOL. While the government reimburses you peanuts, I still get paid through my job so what do I care? I find the whole process interesting and want to serve my community somehow. During the selection process, it's entertaining to hear others' excuses as to why they should be dismissed. On Maui, I've never had the opportunity to serve and have only appeared twice so far, only to be dismissed or the trial canceled. I did however have the opportunity to be an alternate for federal jury on Oahu which lasted five days. The only bummer was that I missed the deliberations due to being an alternate. SMALL CLAIMS: I've had to use small claims court twice so far due to others' negligence. Both were minor car accidents, one driver that had no auto insurance (judgement in my favor), the other refusing to call their auto insurance back (no court appearance as they cooperated with their insurance company upon being served papers). The process is all self-serve. Head to the Service Center office located in room # 141A (after going through security, turn right and it's the office near the front/center of the building). Here, they have an overwhelming shelf full of forms for whatever services they provide, a pay-for copying machine, but not a single pen. Office staff are available for questions. When your papers are in order, the Clerk's Office (behind security) handles the official filing and payments. Most recently, I've dealt with two ladies there, one nice but a smart ass, the other nice and genuine. For the serving of small claims papers, you can either have someone not involved in the case deliver it to the party or they provide a long list of civil service processors which is the route I went. I had no idea who to call but a familiar "Maui name" caught my eye and I went with that person. Ballpark amounts for delivery are $40 plus mileage, paid directly to the server. WAGE GARNISHMENT: This was unbelievably easy to do too. My first small claims case stopped making payments to me so I was forced to engage war! You'd better believe that I was paid in full after papers were served. Forms are available from the Service Center office. TIP: The parking meters are old-school and take coins only. OVERALL: Power to the people!
