This is my favorite post office on the island. Staffed by one friendly worker and visited by more people that one might expect. The post office is tucked into a plantation village on Kunia Road, just look for the blinking light.
Why is this me favorite post office? The absence of a line helps. I could probably drive here in less time that it takes to stand in line at a few of the closer locations. The mix of people is another plus. Because it is all outdoors, and set up on a lanai, the customers have a tendency to stay long enough to talk story. Nice to have a slow moment during a day. It is also the Postal clerk, who is as friendly as her clientele, and is happy to chat when she has a moment, but is all business and efficiency when she needs to get through the occasional line.
So the next time you are grumbling about the lines at the post office in Wahiawa or Mililani, take a detour down Kunia Road. Take in the view of the mountain, breathe in the fresh air, and slow your pace in a more pleasant way. read more
