| - I needed to get a package sent right away and this post office turned out to be one that I can count on. I was greeted by a male employee right when I walked in. How nice! There was one person in line who was helped by another worker, but then I was helped at the counter right away by a very efficient employee. She was quick and accurate. Confirmed the packages to be sent, offered me the available shipping rates ( i.e. overnight, next day, standard, etc. ) and some insurance was even included, unless I wanted more. Score! Usually, there is an upcharge at other couriers, but not here. The worker genuinely smile, asked me how my day was going, got all the postages ranged up, and my total was less than my lunch. Yay!
I previously went to a non government shipping service ( which I will not name ) and they wanted to charge me 2.5 times as much as what the U.S. Post office would have charged me. Lesson learned, so I now I go early to the post office when I need something sent without feeling price gouged. This location also does passports, so if you want to apply,stop in, get the requirement checklist first, and then get your stuff in order. Don't be a newbie and bring your version of what you think will be acceptable requirements. I've seen people do this and then get upset. smh.
Lastly, as the holidays are approaching, if possible, use the Flats Rate Boxes provided at the Post Office. It saves so much money in shipping and you will know how much to budget for since it is a flat rate. Extra insurance and expedited delivery is more of course, but a great value if you plan ahead.
As I left, the male employee that greeted me initially also said, " Bye!" on my way out. Even helped open a door for an elderly lady. All in all, this is a good Post Office. Plenty of parking, friendly and efficient customer service. Will be coming back for sure.
