Went here to ship an envelope as non-machinable because it had some rigid material in it. The non-machinable surcharge is about 25 cents. I was told that the envelope could not be shipped as a letter and would need to be shipped as a package, which costs 8-9 dollars. The letter easily fit through a 1/4 inch slot which is a requirement to send mail as a letter.
I attempted to explain that the item could in fact be sent as a non-machinable letter, and I have shipped many letters like this before without issue. The lady behind the counter simply responded, "Do you want to ship this today?" In a rude tone. I responded, "No I think I will go somewhere else." She then said, "It's gonna be the same anywhere else you go."
Lo and behold, I went to my regular post office and sent the envelope for 1.85 without any issues.
I'd like to think she was just having a bad day, but someone needs to re-explain the requirements to her before she overcharges and confuses others.

Only went to this post office because I had to for my passport. I'll never use this place again if I can help it. Worst counter staff I've ever met. Rude, unhelpful, unprofessional and gave extreme attitude just because I asked a question about booking an appointment for my passport. I know you might not like your job, but that doesn't excuse this kind of behavior. It's still your job. Unbelievable.

The staff is nice and friendly but need additional training. I came in today with 16 envelopes I needed certificate of mailing for, none of them had done it for multiple letters before so they tried to do two at a time eight times. The price for fewer than three envelopes is $1.45 versus $0.41 for more than three. I tried asking about the price difference as I knew it should be $0.41 per envelope but they were adamant so I left. In the past, they also tried to charge me over $100 to mail a package that cost ~$40 at another post office.
