If I could leave NO STARS, I would. Arrived at 8am which is when their quick service doors open. 8 am is the posted time the Quick Service Doors open. Spent AN HOUR ringing the bell and waiting for NO ONE to come to the door. Finally went back in the back area and got the attention of a Postal Employee who said he would send the Postmaster to the front to help me. He lied. Didn't do anything. This branch is HORRIBLE.

You help to fill the blanks. Taken 2014.

I'd rather not come here to pick up packages when mailman failed to deliver a package. But this location is my designated postal service. Oh boy, after coming to this run-down post office for many years, I felt really bad about how our tax dollars were not well-spent here. When I first moved to Houston, I got about 5 pounds of misdelivered mail monthly. I tried to write "no such person" and "return to sender" on the envelopes. But it was no use. I read online to bring the mails to my local post office. I brought a bundled package to a clerk, who said he would take care of it. And, a week later, the same bundle was at my door step. @#$*# What?! I could just burn them as fire logs. Sigh... the parking lot needs to be re-surfaced. When you are driving, be sure to slow down. Because if you were walking on this gravel lot, you'll know not to walk fast or you'll slip and fall or get hit by a car. Either way, go online to buy stamps and call UPS to pick up your packages.

Delivered 6lb box inside a mailbox. Where is my package.? I been home all day.

All things considered. This Postal Office is the cleanest one around. I was here on a Saturday…read moreafternoon and there was ... umm just me here. Hahaha I didn't know it's closed on weekends. That shows how long it has been since I visited a post office. I was directed by a sign at another post office at Gessner and Westpark. Because that office doesn't have a Saturday pickup. I didn't want to let the mail sits in the collection box over the weekend. That's why I'm here. Inside looks good but outside needs some TLC. The GPS took me all the way around the block. I could have turned at Crossview Drive and Beverly Hill Street.

Too many local folks are unhappy with this location and we must put more action. I myself never have a good experience after dealing with this location many times. Customers should not feel like they have to tolerate unprofessional behavior simply because they are dealing with a government office. If enough customers properly report these experiences through the official USPS channels, there is a much better opportunity for the issue to actually reach management and be addressed. EVERYONE at this location must be Reevaluated and Most fired ! A CHANGE HAS TO BE MADE.

Postal Zone on Fountain View Drive is perhaps the best private mail service I have ever had the…read morepleasure of using in my life - and I have used a handful in my time. I am obviously a fan of these services, they aid in ensuring that packages don't walk off your porch and the shipping options available are marvelous. More so with Postal Zone, as they have every carrier option - you can ship globally and with ease. Likewise, the staff is fun, friendly, and expert at what they do. I have had my private box there for a few years, and I can tell you with confidence they know their customers well, they know you by your name and they care. Add to that the little things - fax service, printing, etc. - and you have a winner in Postal Zone on Fountain View. The other convenient thing is they are located right next to Barnaby's Cafe, which is a nice thing after you get done shipping a gagillion things and picking up an array of Amazon Packages. The owner is also a marvelous treasure trove of information on shipping regulations - and alongside his seasoned staff members, they can assist you with pretty much anything you need. If you never have rented a private mail box before, give it a try with Postal Zone on Fountain View. You won't be disappointed.

CONSUMER BEWARE I…read moreused Postal Zone to occasionally forward packages to an out of state address. I signed up for Postal Zone's mail forwarding services via AnytimeMailbox.com. Apparently certain employees at the Postal Zone do not know how to use the mail forwarding software because they make mistakes and they put a CRAZY profit markup on simple mail forwarding services. On my end, I am asked if there are any special directions that I want Postal Zone to take note of. I notated my account to reflect that ALL packages are to be mailed via USPS Priority Mail. They did this correctly the first time, but then it was downhill from there. My most recent package was forwarded via USPS Ground...which takes a very long time for me to receive. I tried calling Postal Zone, after my 3rd call...someone finally answered. I pointed out their error, but they would not admit mistake and claimed that their software doesn't have my Priority Mail notes on they end. I pointed out that they had been following my notes and forwarding packages via Priority Mail, but the guy I spoke to would not even acknowledge this statement (despited there is a digital log on my previous shipment from them). Even the mail forwarding software company, AnytimeMailbox.com, got involved and called them to show them how to view my notes (they could see them too), but the Postal Zone employee told the software people that they were wrong and there are no notes. And.. Businesses like Postal Zone get discounted shipping rates, they don't pay retail. However, the Postal Zone more than doubles the retail cost of shipping for USPS Priority Mail (keep in mind that the USPS provides the envelopes for free). The literally put my package into a USPS flat rate envelope (less than 2 minutes to do). In summary, they may have good in-person customer service, but I would not use them for mail forwarding.

Given how often I'm in this area, the Wesleyan Station has become a convenient USPS to frequent…read more The service can be slow, the lines can be long, but for the most part I am about to send what I need with little to no fuss. It's not perfect, but I can't think of too many post offices that are. The best things? Parking is abundant, the crowds aren't really here in full force (even during closing time), and it seems low-key most of the time. I am able to send most packages without much stress and the self service machine is usually working quite well. I haven't owned a PO Box here, but I don't intend to either. The not-so-fun things? The staff is painfully slow sometimes. Even though there's no line, the wait can be a little bit of a deterrent when the counter ladies are taking their time with each customer. It's likely the customers, but they always seem to run out of pens for filling out forms, so bring your own. The place also smells a bit like mildew, but I've noticed this is common with most post offices throughout the city. If I can get here, send a package / certified letter, and leave in 5 minutes or less, I consider that a thumbs up. It hasn't always been the case, but for the most part, this is a likely scenario for most of my visits.

I told her I have sent postcards from this office and recipients tell me there is no postmark. She said that those postal workers were not doing their job. I showed her the usps website through my phone that a hand-stamped postmark can be requested at the post office. She told me that this is only at the discretion of the postal worker. It was not even a busy time as there was no one waiting behind me.
