US Post Office

The clerks at the service counter (petite old lady and middle aged guy with dark longish hair) would rarely return a greeting, and I have to pull the information out of them, one painful question at a time. They act like I am bothering them. They also try to sell me useless things, like a sticky address labels instead of just giving me a pen to write on the envelope. I even complained to a supervisor once after particularly nasty encounter withe the petite lady, but he just told me that she was having a bad day! Ha, it happens every time I come in!!! So I go to another town to mail my things if I have some extra time. Rarely do I find such poor service in America!

I love the clerks at this location. Not to mention my former classmate works in the back, but she’s mysteriously never there. I had to get a p.o. box for my business. I just had another surgery and appreciate the fact that they have a handicap ramp. The parking is very difficult and slim to none, so I park on Yale street via Main Street. There is a 24 hour machine that is available to use to ship packages and purchase stamps. The staff is always very friendly, even when I see them outside of the post office, they always say hello and are very friendly. There is roadwork being done so it’s very congested with a lot of detours, so I prefer to come at night.

Called to inquire about picking up a package and the guy who answered the phone really hated life (and me). He kept cutting me off and repeatedly assured me my package was out for delivery without even listening to what I had to say. Obviously my package was not out for delivery and tomorrow is Sunday so now I’m screwed.
I can’t vouch for what it’s like inside but don’t bother trying to call in for anything.

Maybe I’m the only one who likes the post office, but I do, I like it here. There’s usually the same two people behind the counter. One is friendly, outgoing and helpful. the other appears grumpy, but if you are polite first, she can be very, very helpful. So helpful, that I she save me a trip regarding my passport and helped me get it processed faster for the same price. Plus, how can you NOT like a «store» that offers nearly the same service whilst closed as when it is open?! Probably saved me hours of waiting in line to do my bidniz during the Christmas season.
PS. They also deliver to your doorstep, every day. Who can complain about that?

The reviewer above me has pretty much summed it up perfectly.
At least a few years ago if I called early enough in the morning I could go to the post office here and pick up any packages before they were put on the truck, and the latest my mail would arrive when out for delivery was around 2:30 pm, and even that was a rarity.
Now if I call to inquire about a package, whoever the guy is that picks up the phone is the most rude and miserable person I have ever spoken to and couldn’t be bothered to help out or provide any sort of convenience. I’m not sure if the deliverer is new as well but here I am at 4:30 pm still waiting (as it is most days) for an important package with not one delivery made on my entire street. The progression of laziness over the past year or two is baffling! Personally, I feel like my mailman is hiding out in the truck eating hoagies all day or something. Or he changed his route to one that screws me, or both. I’ve noticed he delivers in a way now that he barely has to walk at all, and is soooo slow, resulting in always receiving my mail much too late. Worst postal service ever! Unbelievably frustrating!

If you want to see how life would be like living under Socialism just stop by the Wakefield, MA Post Office for an example. I have never seen such a sour group of lazy and arrogant workers with absolutely no sense of urgency or gratitude for their Government job with pension.
I am switching as much of my mail to paperless as possible, and when I am able will use Fedex and UPS. Good riddence and RIP.

What can you expect?
Considering, it’s not bad.
Please learn how to smile.
