The staff here are very nice and helpful and it's usually empty when I stop by on my lunch break. When I recently went to send in my passport renewal, the woman at the desk was able to save me money by using a flat rate envelope over the legal mailer I brought in. She also made sure I had all the materials and everything was signed. I've been nervous about the whole renewal process and she helped give me a bit more confidence that I at least provided everything I needed.

Heck, I can't even say that this IS a secret to anyone but myself, so I may be the only one in town who was missing out...until this last weekend, anyway. It was a TikTok video, of all things, that pointed us to the deli within (Aunt Tillie's), but from there, after downing a couple of sammies, we had the pleasure of checking out the various shops (many of which seem to have...let's say...eclectic and unstable operating hours), but are still fun to browse: a vintage store, a Himalayan goods store, and others. But the real draw is the antique "mall" co/op running in the basement: a sprawling labyrinth of curated collections of the riches of yesteryear, laid out in such a way to maximize foot traffic, and capture the attention of eye and mind: vintage clothing, furniture, home décor, movies, comics, collectibles, personal items, books, postcards and a whole lot more: enough to keep a treasure hunter like me busy poking around for quite a while! I wish there were more places like this, but based on the fact that I didn't know this existed until two days ago, perhaps there are! Time to get back out there, and start exploring, because I'm obviously slacking a bit!

This quirky little shopping center, which isn't t really a shopping center but a dozen shops of…read morevarious types under one roof, is a staple in NE Hollywood. Located one block east of NE Sandy and the iconic Hollywood Theatre, the large light blue sign that says 42 Station is also iconic for this neighborhood. This place hasn't changed in the 20 years I've lived in Portland and it needed a facelift 20 years ago! But you aren't here for the aesthetics, your here to visit one of the 7 or 8 shops. Or Antique Valley on the lower level; a large space of multiple vendors selling their wares. The primary reason I come here is the Postal Annex. It's just so convenient with parking on the street out front and friendly service, Even though I've moved to SW I still come here frequently. They only accept cash so be forewarned. The 2nd reason I come is Aunt Tillie's Deli. If I'm here during lunch hours or need a sandwich for a picnic, this is the place! They make a delicious and satisfying sandwich and homemade soups that hit the spot! I used to visit Linda's Upholstery whenever I needed custom pillows, a seat cushion or a couch completely redone but she is no longer there. Bummer. She is the master of her craft and affordable. The Himalayan Gift store, located on the left when you walk in, never seems to have anyone there, but they are still in business. They sell clothing, candles, souvenirs and other very miscellaneous items. There is also a hair salon, another antique shop and a Nordic Home shop on the first floor. When I say shop, we are talking a very, very small footprint. The size of a small bedroom. Like I said, The 42nd Street Station is an unusual blend of stores under one roof that fits right into this neighborhood. It's not a destination or a place for out of neighborhood folks, but for those who do live nearby or did, like me, it's an essential part of the community.

This place is pathetic, hasn't changed in over a decade. Still grossly understaffed, and the now…read moreone clerk left behind the counter, pre-holiday season is apparently unable to complete any transaction for customers in under five minutes per person seriously!! If you bring it up, as other reviewers have stated you are the wild, lunatic jerk for complaining. The manager here told me that when their self service machine breaks, he has to personally repair it. And apparently no one will work here, so that's why they're understaffed. For a vibrant, inner-city neighborhood this place is completely unacceptable!!!

This is the closest postal office to my house, so I've ended up coming here quite a few times…read more Unfortunately, I can't say I've ever had a good experience. The staff is consistently unfriendly, and one particular woman who works there regularly speaks to customers with a noticeable attitude. On my most recent visit, I came to drop off a package that didn't have a QR code. I asked if they could print the label for me--they said no, so I went to the library, printed it out, and came back. When I returned with the label and my package, I asked if they could tape it on for me since I didn't have any tape. The man at the counter refused, even though there was a roll of packing tape sitting right next to him. It was a small label on a lightweight package--it would've taken two seconds, max. That moment left me feeling so defeated that I ended up crying in my car. I've never felt so frustrated over something so minor. As for value, this place offers very little. The time, effort, and emotional toll of dealing with unhelpful service here simply aren't worth it--especially when there are friendlier options elsewhere. I highly recommend going to a different location if you have the choice. Customers deserve basic kindness and support, especially at a public service facility like this.

I've been utilizing this post office for years and the staff is always friendly and helpful. When I ask for the lowest price on return packages, they check various options without hesitation. While I've never used their passport services, which seems to be where issues are, I have bought supplies and sent out multiple packages, purchased holiday stamps and visit here to return prepaid packages - all with no issue and friendly service.

They have extended hours, staying open until 6:30 in weekenights, rather than the typical 5mor 5:30pm. My only complaint is the 2nd door to enter is soooo heavy and a challenge to push open for those of us with strength and shoulder issues. They should have a handicapped button to enable easy access for those in a wheelchair, and people like me with chronic shoulder issues. There is a ramp out front for those unable to climb the set of 5 steps.

I love supporting local businesses, especially when most folks are so pleasant to work with. This office is located in the heart of the Hawthorne business district, so it was a pleasant surprise to get local lunch recommendations from the person managing the front desk. It's this type of exchange that will always convince me to shop small, and to support locally-owned businesses.
