There were long lines, similar to every other post office I've been to in NY. Unlike many of the reviews I've read though, the staff were polite and helpful while the customers were rude & impatient.- Treat the employees with kindness and they will treat you the same way back. I give them cookies several times a year.
I have found that I'd you are very nice and very patient with the staff after a year or so they are kinda nice to you.
It was a great visit today. I had several items that had to be taken care of and the clerk was polite, knowledgeable and tuned into what I needed.
AleDecember 24, 2016Out of all of the USPS locations that I've been to, I believe this is where I've seen the best service
RocioAugust 14, 2012Get your passport photo taken here, convenient and they let you look at the photo first :)
Good service though there are 3 kiosks available for automated service 👍🏽
BYOP - Bring Your Own Pen. In general, just be ready to do everything on your own.
a perfectly decent post office. dreary lighting, sure. not everyone super perky, but they get the job done.- Tony SpikesFebruary 5, 2017Long lines because most people know nothing about thier mailing. They buy stamps like they're in Zales.
Ron HsuSeptember 1, 2021Bring a pen. All the desk pens have been ripped out. Sad state of defunding.- Hooray, PO Box users can go to window 6 to claim parcels.
Use the APC. The flat rate priority boxes can be a really good deal.
To get anytype of service here you have to know the staff!- Have always found folks to be helpful in the face of odd demands.
- Pam R.November 30, 2011Finally figured this place out. ghost town at 5:30pm so come after work if you can.
Kate CluteJune 27, 2013The line is approx 40 people long right now. It might be worth it to go private and pay more. Such better customer service!
Sean McKenzieDecember 31, 2013Be patient, the world doesnt revolve around you. Be respectful, you may receive the same respect. Be kind, everyone is fighting a tough battle. Employ these mantras & your next visit may not be so bad
- Lame that they removed the window for parcel and hold mail pick up. The two self service stations in its place might help shorten the regular line, but lockers for po box users would have been better.
NicoleMay 21, 2014This was the WORST experience at a Post Office ever! The postal man rude, screaming at me, said I was confused..excuse me I am getting stamps......Don't go to this PO! Its the worst in Manhattan.
Jessica PrallApril 2, 2013Hands down worst post office. Employees are the rudest I've ever encountered and they always run out of packaging materials.
James TsantesFebruary 9, 2013The absolute worst attitudes and staff. Not sure of a group of people that hate their jobs more and make everyone else miserable.
Horribly slow and unfriendly staff, convenient location
The only good thing about this post office is the air conditioning
Ali AppelbaumFebruary 21, 2012Just like every other comment -- Poor attitudes and bad customer service!
