There is nothing special about this post office. It's very so-so in service. I think part of that is simply the size of this location.
This post office is quite large, and has a variety of items, not all relating to postal services. In fact, it almost seems like they have a section that's like a gift shop. It's a little weird.
I've never been impressed by this location. The size of the post office doesn't seem appropriate for the parking lot. It can get very busy, making parking almost impossible, and dangerous. They also have a drive-thru to drop off letters and bills. People fly through the parking lot, even with speed bumps, just to go through the drive-thru.
Employees are ok, and I mean just ok. There's nothing special about them, and it's a toss up if you get decent service here or not. Think of the tired, worn down employee who looks like they are exhausted beyond caring anymore. That's always been the kind of people I see working here. There's never a smile, they don't go out of their way to ask questions or help you. It's almost the "get your shit and get out" attitude.
I very highly discourage anyone from visiting this location during tax season or Christmas. It's busy during normal times, but it turns into an absolute zoo during those two times of the year.
Will I return? Ehh, maybe. It's a little out of the way for me, but when I'm shopping at the mall, it would be an easy and convenient place to just head over and ship my gifts where I need them to go. Unfortunately, I'd rather wait and go to the other Springfield post office, as I get much better customer service. read more
