Postal Plaza

There works very nice and friendly russian speaking lady. I always try to be served by her. I sent international letters and boxes and everything delivered on time.

*does what it needs to do, which is store your packages there until a postal truck comes by to pick them up.
*tracking number confirmation receipts are NOT provided.
*“Take a picture of your package, that’s your proof.”
*UPS confirmed pickup of my package at the end of the workday (~6pm).

I’ve been here a few times since it is in the neighborhood. I found them to be very courteous and efficient, and it saves a trip and long lines at the post office. You can also drop packages for no charge and get a confirmation if you request it.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I had a terrible experience. I walked in hoping to drop off a fedex box, get confirmation and leave. The lady working there said just leave it with the pile of other boxes, so I politely asked, «don’t I need a confirmation?»
She said, «just take a picture» and walks away leaving my super-​expensive looking package in front of a glass door.
Nooooooo way am I leaving the box here! First, it can get stolen. Second, it can get lost in the pile. Third, since the lady didn’t scan the item, it’ll be hard for me to prove i mailed it, much less prove it lost, taken, or given away by the store!
I’m not saying that this store is irresponsible or may steal my box, but there’s a (high) possibility my box can be lost in the mountain of larger boxes. Since they didn’t scan my item, they wouldn’t even know it’s in their inventory! I can’t risk losing a $ 100 package like that. In this economy, no one can! (If you can though, good for you! Great to have some $$$ when the economy’s down)
Needless to say, I had to walk to silver rod to drop it off. The lady took the box, scan it there and gave me my confirmation. See? Not so hard.

The exterior still looks shiny, new, and welcoming; it’s been open for maybe a year or two, now. I never went in, though, because I generally just stick forever stamps on my envelopes /​postcards and drop them in the nearby mailbox.
When my brother made me return a pre-​labeled package through Postal Plaza, I was hesitant because I hate having to deal with the post office and its long lines. I was simultaneously pleasantly and unpleasantly surprised when I walked in Postal Plaza. Bad news first, I guess — it looked strangely messy and disorganized for a post office. Shouldn’t post offices be, by definition, really organized? o_​o I couldn’t help but feel incredibly dubious about this whole operation. The good news, though? THE TRANSACTION TOOK LESS THAN A MINUTE. I was absolutely astonished; I handed the package with the label to the cashier, he wrapped it up and stuck the label on it, and told me I was all good. I actually stared at him for a few seconds because I was so surprised by the remarkable, unexpected efficiency. Whoo! :)
Postal office offers a wide variety of services and has all the mailing & shipping supplies that you need, so that’s helpful, too!
