- TFT0PD0G F.E.G.Oct 6, 20255.0Today's Monday 215pm.. Oct 6th. 77 degrees and sunny.. Maybe usually 1 person ahead of you sometimesmore more to get in the building.. but not bad.. always friendly staff and a very pleasant vibe.. the walk down from the elevator reminds me of the bureau of magical inventions. You need a valid current state ID to enter, but hey its federal. Once past security, the elevator is located diagonally from security. Take elevator to B level. Get off walk straight..Turn left. Turn right. 2/3rds down hall- sign points to post office. Turn right 😲🤭😱🙃 as you can see no line going in.. :)
- ANAndrew NielsenMay 9, 20235.0The pleasant experience made going through security worth it. I usually go to the post office closer to market street but today it was REALLY packed so I tried this one. Went about half an hour before closing and there was no wait! Totally worth it.
- RLRIO LLCMar 13, 20185.0Да действительно Почта расположена на В этаже административного федерального здания. Досмотр полный как в аэропорту)) но после можно пройти на почту. Тарифы хорошие - как обычная Почта. Сервис отличный! Все помогли правильно заполнить, подсказали, даже помогли все уместить в маленькую коробку. Выбрали наиболее оптимальный вариант доставки.
- PNParsa NowruziJul 8, 20164.0Downside: it's in a federal building and you basically have to get naked through security and show government-issued ID. Also there's no cell service down there in the post office. Upside: there is no or a short line. Staff were cool.
- RMRebecca Martinez-ThomasJun 12, 20145.0So the post office is located in the basement level of the federal building, which made for an interesting first experience there. While searching on google maps I found location is just a bit closer to my office than the one located at Fox Plaza off Market so I decided to try it out. After removing my shoes, keys, and having my purse scanned I had to walk through a metal detector. The security team was friendly, understanding, and very helpful. It was a short trip down to the basement in the elevator and a somewhat spooky walk to the post office's suite, but once there I found the place empty of other patrons to much of my delight. The woman who helped me behind the counter was warm and informative; she helped me find the best packaging and shipping options for the best price. Even with the added obstacle of the security screening when entering the building I not refuse to use any other post office. Also be aware that this location is only open 1-5 most days.
