Wilshire Postal Center

Wow! I came to pick up Money Gram that was sent from abroad. That was my second time here, and I was getting the same amount of money from the same sender, however old Korean woman refused to provide service to me trying to say that it’s dodgy and that I’m committing a fraud. Absolute inappropriate and disrespectful, I am never coming back because I was treated like a criminal for no reason! Shame on them! Don’t ever go to that place, especially if you’re not Korean!

I’m kind of shocked that this business hasn’t been rated yet. But I’m also kind of not shocked. It’s no secret that the USPS as well as other shipping centers are populated with grouchy folks who, though not as bad as DMV employees who talk about their 401k’s to their coworkers instead of tending to the customers waiting in line (I’m looking at you, DMV on Cole St.!), take their jobs for granted. So when you come across a gem like the Wilshire Postal Center, you kind of don’t want it to blow up, since once people catch wind of a shipping center that doesn’t suck, that can mark the beginning of the end. But I’ll chance it and let y’all in on this secret.
This place accepts USPS, UPS, DHL, and FedEx packages and issues money orders. I believe they also rent out PO Boxes, but as someone who doesn’t use that service, I can’t vouch for it. I can, however, speak on the quality of service I received from the Wilshire Postal Center as a drop-​off location. The younger dude at the counter, Jason, is super chill and friendly and just gets it. That is, he took about as long as I feel it should take for someone to do a job — if not faster. You know what I mean? For me, it’s super rare that someone actually performs on par with my expectations, as with the other places, you get the feeling that certain motions are drawn out to minimize the amount of work employees actually do. Like I know within five minutes of putting in an order whether someone’s being paid by the hour or not and that usually means I’m getting shafted.
The place looks low key in the draw, but it definitely doesn’t show in dudeman’s performance. Not a single movement is wasted and while I struggle to get a tracking number or an item scanned in by a USPS worker, the track record here puts my postal paranoia at ease.
Also, I almost left this review for Wilshire World Postal Center which is a couple miles east of this place. Not the same place and telling from the reviews there, either the owner there poached a lion or they pretty much vindicate my position on shipping centers in general.
