The Hyde Park Post office is a combination of both history and function. It is a beautiful stone…read morebuilding built around 1940, in a Dutch Colonial Revival style. FDR took an interest in the construction of this building, and his name is on the cornerstone. It has been listed on the National Registrar of Historic Places since 1988. I has been expanded and renovated several times. It also functions quite well as a post office. The employees are incredibly helpful and always cheerful. There can, unfortunately, be a bit of a wait at busy times, because their window can only handle 2 customers at a time. But they have handled this nicely at times, such as offering expanded hours in December. I don't have a P.O. Box here, but my assumption is that they are also limited here in the number of boxes available, and there may be a wait requesting one. This post office requires you to make an appointment for a passport application or renewal.

When I used to tend to dropping off packages from my home-based business a few short years ago, I…read moretended to always seem to remember this United States Post Office. I went there so much, he and I were always on a first-name basis with each other. And although he's now not there as much as he used to be, the others who are tend to be just as accurate and trustworthy as he once was. Ernie, who was the person behind the counter, always use to make jokes when I use to walk up to him for a stamp, and we just got along great together. It was rare when he ever made a mistake in the mailing system. I'm sorry I couldn't describe the factors that came into being placed in this review a little better. Maybe, as Ernie cross-trains people, the people who he trains could actually help bring that enlightened sense/spirituality to this small kiosk in the Mall once again, and therefore bring his sense of humor out to bring more people to use this booth once again. And what's best, packages that were mailed under him, never once ever got lost or delayed due to his actions, so something had gone well under his direction. He was always "on top of his game" here. Thanks Ernie and USPS crew for making my days and life a little brighter. You always have been a light in my eye, and will continue to shine brightly through the many years I have yet to use in store for the remainder of my life.

USPS is under contract to act as a carrier for Amazon. I'm guessing that's a multi-million dollar…read morecontract annually. I imagine that is the money that keeps places like the Lagrangeville NY post office open and operational, as they no longer get federal funds for that. However, places like this post office are risking that multi-million dollar contract. Good luck paying all your salaries, pensions and overhead from the sale of stamps. If Amazon drops that contract with USPS many people will lose their jobs and pension. Yet, they prefer to grip onto an antiquated policy from the 1960's which allows them to lord over the giant and Americans. Well, we are pushing back. Here are the facts as I see them: 1. Places like the Lagrangeville Post Office are refusing to deliver Amazon orders to some homes. 2. Those homes are the ones without rural mailboxes out by the road. 3. Most of those homes are paying $200.00 a year for more secure PO Boxes inside post offices, instead of the free rural mailboxes that give access to identity and package thieves. 4. Instead of these customers getting the red carpet treatment, they are discriminated against, and selected for punishment. 5. Why ? Because many years ago small rural post offices had the "choice" of delivering packages to homes without a rural box. 6. Years pass. Morals change. Package thieves are everywhere. Nobody wants their purchases dropped by the side of the road anymore--away from camera focus. 7. The Amazon giant grows and needs additional carriers. So they contract with the most likely, USPS. 8. Are these employees bright enough to realize that Amazon simply wants their orders delivered without drama---to their customers door--or other designated areas? 9. Are these employees bright enough to realize that without a "refusal" clause in their contract with Amazon , they are in breach of that contract? 10. Are these employees bright enough to realize that the packages being delivered FOR Amazon are coming from a different group of packages than the packages being mailed by people walking into a p.o. and mailing through the USPS system? 11. Are these employees bright enough to realize that the Amazon giant is paying them for shipping AND returns, and when the post office LIES and tells Amazon that the delivery couldn't be made due to the customer moving, that they are double dipping? Getting 2 shipping payments while denying Amazon the completion of that sale? 12. Are these employees aware that such actions might be considered embezzlement? 13. Are they aware that lying and falsifying documents is illegal? Saying someone has moved, when they have all the proof on their side that they have not, is illegal? Or saying that the order "was delivered" when the tracking shows it was delivered to a city where the customer neither lives nor works, is illegal? 14. Are these employees bright enough to realize that the hand that feeds them might not want to have the recipient of those assets cause them lost sales? 15. Are they aware that Amazon doesn't care a lick WHERE any of their customers get their mail. That it makes no difference to Amazon if they receive their mail in a p.o. box or by helium balloon, pony express or carrier pigeon? Or if they receive mail at all? Amazon simply wants their packages delivered without drama--to their customers door! Not dropped by the side of the road under a rural box--even if every American had a rural box? 16. Are these employees aware that Amazon is fielding complaints all day long about USPS--as told me by an Amazon supervisor? 17. Are these employees aware that when Amazon merchandise that is shipped from California 5 times, and 5 times when it gets across the country, arriving in the Lagrangeville post office and the employees there return it to sender, while enriching themselves with 10 payments from Amazon in shipping and return fees, while causing Amazon to lose the sale-- may be a violation of the RICO Act--interfering with Amazon's ability to conduct business across state lines? I believe that is a Federal offense when it involves interstate business? Clearly none of this is good for the employer Amazon. But USPS could certainly be laughing all the way to the bank as they appear are making out like the bandits I believe they are!! 18. So now the big question to the Lagrangeville Post office is, "Are you feeling lucky?" I ask that because formal complaints are going out to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in Washington DC. To Attorney General Leticia James--and we all know she enjoys a good fight ( thank goodness here), to Amazon's Legal Department and blogs, websites and reviews. Plus we may be seeking legal counsel against this post office. 19. I encourage anyone else who is having their Amazon merchandise dropped by the side of the road, or not delivered at all, or returned to sender with lies posted as to why that was done--to complain to Amazon, Amazon's Legal Department, Louis DeJoy and Leticia James.
