And the location was great, near to the Amtrak rail station and w/in walking distance to colonial Williamsburg and the College of W&M. I often walked here, but the location was worth it. Admittedly, Williamsburg is neither a poor nor a diverse neighborhood, and the place reeks of history. This was a post office where all the fundamentals were in order. But, what made it memorable? Not much, really. I have trouble conjuring in my mind the layout of this place, despite multiple visits. People got things done fast and efficiently, but they rarely talked to each other. It reminded me of a Deutsche Post in Germany, actually (too bad you can't Yelp Deutschland. Yet ... ) But it would have been nice to meet some more locals.

This one SHOULD have been great, since the W&M campus is historic, gorgeous, and generally really nice. But the USPS branch had a terrible location in the lower floor of the student union (one of two), and it was hard just finding it! The, assuming that you arrived, you had to wait in line and had no real sense that the staff cared about you. So ... what made this unpleasant: the surly staff or the less-than-stellar location? Or the students who only cared about getting their packages and getting the hell out of there? It's all three, of course, but LOCATION matters. A lot. This is my first major "breakthrough" in my quest to find the formula for the perfect, 5-star post office. Location, location, location.

Sophia usually handled that arena by mostly ordering online, but we were running short so I was given the task to pick some up. It was right after I got off work so I stopped by on the way home. Foot traffic was very minimal which resulted in no wait at all. I actually stood in line for no longer than 15 seconds. As stated earlier, it was for buying a book of stamps. To my surprise, the cost for the book was over $14. Back when I used to ship items off by mail, stamps cost under $10. It's crazy to see the prices go up each year. Unfortunately, we have to accept the changes and move on. Besides the price increase, the transaction went smooth as usual. I know this location will always come in handy for yours truly. Till next time :)

I have informed delivery and on 10/02 /25 I received an email update stating the item was out for delivery. That afternoon around 5 pm. I checked my mail box. It only had an ad from Langley FCU, and no package. I opened my phone and checked my informed delivery email which said the package was delivered at 4:01 pm., left in mailbox. Not to my address it wasn't. So I reviewed my security camera footage and saw the mail carrier coming through the neighborhood about ten minutes after 4:00 pm. I watched him place the ad flyer in my box and walk away. So if my package was delivered ten minutes before the carrier got to my address where was it delivered to? Also I noticed the carrier had air pods in both ears. God only knows what he was listening to. I checked the USPS web site and it is a rule that employees aren't allowed to wear air pods or headphones while delivering the mail. It's totally unprofessional and a safety hazard. You think the average human being with any work ethic would be on the job doing their best for the employer that hired and is paying them. That's just common respect from my perspective. Not to mention people are paying for and counting on a reliable business to carry out their mission and give them the service they deserve and expect. Not the USPS! I avoid them like the plague if at all possible. If you want your mail to be delivered use FED X, or UPS. Find alternate ways to get you business done. Apparently with all the complaints and no real effort on their part to fix anything, they don't deserve your business anymore. This particular branch is the worst I have ever dealt with. I have lived in Newport News at the same address for 33 years I never had a problem with mail except about the last ten years. I'm getting others mail, one piece recently was address to a residence with the same number but a street about two miles away. I have had mail stolen at the postal office where it was mailed. Had bills and payments go missing and never recovered. Had a check stolen from the mail and altered for $6,900.00 more than I wrote the check for, and to a different person than the check was intended. I filed stolen mail reports with the postal inspectors office and a number of complaints about missing mail, or misdelivered mail. Either the carriers can't read or just don't care. I happen to believe it's the later. How do you think they would feel if it was their mail? Is there no fear of God in the hearts of people in this country anymore? You know he is watching right?
