However, the worker, Penny/Jenny, was very kind, respectful, and helpful. She apologized for the long wait and communicated with us throughout the process. She appeared to be the only one working, but she still handled everything with patience and professionalism. Overall, I had a pleasant experience because of her kindness and great customer service.

During my visit on a Saturday afternoon, my wait was 45 minutes. Which was fine, had plenty to occupy my time. Despite paying higher price's for shipping packages. My package which was going local to Queen's took over 2 weeks to arrive. If I am mailing off packages to the Southern part of the Country, it takes a week or so. The service left a lot to be desired, but that did not stop me from being thrilled to have my packages mailed out. The architecture of this majestic post office is on another level. The Corinthian colonnades, and the Imperial Coat of Arms of Prussia. This specific design is carved into a decorative, hexagonal ceiling panel, which is commonly found in historic government buildings, palaces, or university halls constructed during the Prussian era or German Empire.

Their backs are constantly turned on the line and neither of the staff at this location is eager to help, support or assist. I was told you place the sticker on my envelope or to get away from her window. I thought it was a joke but this staff member was very serious and encouraged other staff not to assist me. Visit at your own risk!!!

I had a great experience at this post office! I was honestly a little skeptical after reading some…read moreof the reviews, but my experience was the complete opposite. The light skinned black woman with the long pink nails and hair scarf was incredibly friendly, polite, and funny. She took the time to give us helpful tips, including recommending that we drink bottled water even when brushing our teeth after noticing we were visiting from Los Angeles. Her kindness and sense of humor made the entire experience enjoyable. My only advice for future customers is to bring your own pen and make sure all of your forms are completely filled out before getting to the window. It will make the process much quicker and smoother.

I write to praise the post office. A work friend was surprised that people post reviews of anything…read moreother than restaurants here. I am writing for a reason. I have used this branch due to proximity. I often have meetings near here, once a month. The other background is I try to post positive reviews. I mean honest and positive. I avoid negative ones, unless I am truly aggrieved. I have three reasons. First, there is too much negative sentiment on the internet. Second, most complaints are about first world problems or common misunderstandings. Third, I sometimes have to be a repeat customer despite a bad experience. So I'm mindful of karma. That is all important to understanding why this place is good. I rarely wait. They are efficient. The two post office outlets closest to my apartment are terrible. They are slow, measured not just by the crowds and lines but per person in terms of transaction time. So this place is better than it's peers, enough so that I save up items until I will be nearby.

Nevertheless, there are times where I need to visit one, and in those cases this is super convenient. For me, the biggest plus this post office has going for it is their operating hours. They're open from 7:30am to 7pm Monday to Saturday which is way longer than a typical branch. This makes it easy if you need to visit before or after work. This is also a huge location - tons of PO boxes and multiple self-serve kiosk stands in case you don't need to wait on the line for your service. Speaking of the line, it's there - as per usual. Despite having multiple tellers and a long queue area, I've only seen two to three people working them - even at peak times. As such, there's always a line - so just be prepared. Overall, this US Post Office is fine. I will use the self-serve kiosks as much as possible, and their expanded operating hours will make me a repeat patron.
