| - Working during the weekdays has caused me to get creative with my lunch hour, and occasionally my to-do list features mail-related errands. The Post Office located on Liberty Avenue has become my regular Post Office, and I visit typically 1 or 2 times a week. My thoughts on Post Offices are simply that can't we live with them and we can't live without them. Being that I'm an avid online shopper as well as a seller on eBay from time to time, visiting the Post Office is just part of the process that I can't avoid.
This specific Post Office has given me mixed feelings. It gets the job done, though, and that combined with the convenience is what keeps me coming back. I can't count how many times I've been here, but I've only ever seen 2 workers. Only during a few of my visits were there long lines, but the clerks seem to handle them effectively here.
Typically, there is a man and a woman clerk behind the counter. During one visit, the woman was particularly rude and it's left a bad taste in my mouth ever since. Neither my boyfriend nor I had mailed very many packages directly from the post office at the time, and we had an item to mail and a label we needed to attach to the package. To my people that aren't too familiar with shipping: There is more than one type of package and it can get confusing between priority mail and standard mail. There are special envelopes that you have to use for each type of package, too. We had a standard package to mail, and the woman went on to tell us we couldn't use the priority mail tape but offered no other solution. She said they do not supply tape to customers, but I have seen it happen more than once. She was very short with us almost as if she was frustrated, and it wasn't helpful in the least of ways. I'm not asking for clerks to bend over backwards, but common courtesy is nice!
Aside from that negative experience, it's usually not a bother to do business here. The clerks aren't overly friendly but it is what it is. We'll be back because my online shopping addiction won't cease anytime soon, but hopefully we have good experiences from here on out!
