I was once allergic to the post office! I was always putting off getting things in the mail. Lately, I'm going in quite often after a job transition made me reliant on shipping ebay items for income. There have been times a whole line of people in front of me had errors or were unprepared for their transactions, and I have not seen staff handle customers with anything but patience and care. At other usps offices, I have seen people with housing or language barriers treated poorly. Not here. I have also been told by more than one person that the mail carriers at this hub are significantly more attractive than at other locations.

David was so rude from the moment he greeted me. I didn’t put my address on the envelope because I hadn’t paid for it yet and he gave me an attitude like I ruined his day. I didn’t know I could write on something I didn’t pay for. Then he continued to be sassy to me when I explained I hadn’t paid for it. I waited for another woman instead of going to him and she was so sweet and kind. David needs a new job because clearly he hates people but hates himself more!

Located on the corner of university and 46th. Has its own fenced parking lot. This area was a bit sketchy. Homeless in the area, loud music blasting from cars while in red light, abandon cars, it’s not the best part of neighborhood.
The front lobby had a large PO Box area accessible from 6am-4pm, closed on Sundays and holidays.
Service area was in the back. It’s really small. There was one person working and no line. Can’t imagine how this place would look when it’s busy.
Besides the small service area, the customer service was quick.
