| - Boy, I must be hitting a dry spell in my reviews to write this. But no, really, this post office is pretty good. It is sorta off the beaten path in no-man's land, but I like that, because who wants to navigate through city traffic to find a post office?
They do have a separate "store" for stamps, packing supplies, etc., but the one problem is that there is never anyone behind that counter. So, I have to wait in the regular line to buy any supplies. If I'm feeling efficient that day (and if what I have to mail is relatively simple), I'll wait in line as I put stuff in/address it. But today, for example, I had to get a flat-rate box and stuff it with lots of packing crap and tape it up, so I needed to do that on the side before I waited in line. (Found out later that they do supply tape so I didn't actually have to spend $3.29 on that. D'oh.)
Everyone is pretty mellow. It's not a bad experience even when the line is a bit long. I mean, it's the post office, right? The one thing I care about is that they help me send my important packages/documents.
They do have an automated machine in the front area where you can buy Forever stamps with a credit or debit card. Convenient! Also, you can weigh and mail a bunch of stuff there too, as long as it's not a big package.
FYI: Pickup for packages is on the other side of the enormous complex, on Broadway, not Orange. (I've had to go a couple of times when I was left that lovely note at the door saying they "missed me.")
