I am very disappointed with this post office. The person who assisted me inquired if I wanted to ship my 18 lb box standard shipping or priority. The lady explained that standard shipping would take about 2 weeks. This package was not urgent, so i said standard was fine. Shortly after, I was told that she couldn't do it. I saw on the screen that there were 3 different shipping options. Standard was one of them. When I inquired why she couldn't do it standard shipping, the lady couldn't provide me with an explanation except, "it won't allow me to ship there standard. It must go priority." (If it MUST go priority, why did you offer me standard and why did the screen offer standard as an option?!)
I was shipping it to an APO address, so it's possible that it had something to do with that? There are signs all over the post office about the restriction of items for mailing items to the APO address, but this facility didn't think it would be helpful to have a sign about how they only offered one shipping option?
I was pretty much forced me to ship the box priority. I fly out of NY soon, so I didn't have the time to drive all over Rockland to find a different post office that was willing to ship my package to a military post office for a more reasonable price. It was irritating that it cost me over 40 dollars to ship to a military post office when I saw on the screen that standard shipping would have been 20 dollars. If anything, this facility could have at least provided me with a different post office that COULD mail this box through standard shipping.
Super annoyed. I won't be coming back here because this post office charges double the price to mail packages for those who work overseas for the US government/ military personnel. read more
