Is the self service 24/7, 7 days a week or not? Because it wasn’t today.

Consistently loses packages. I would say delivery to the correct address through Brighton USPS is around a 50% chance. Makes me want to move out of Brighton. Absolutely horrible delivery service. Avoid at all costs.

This post office is the worst. I live 5 minutes down the street and they are constantly late with packages, send packages to other post offices then have to wait days for them to be brought back. They need to reopen the Allston post office since this location clearly can not handle the extra work. It's been awful dealing with this location since they closed the Allston branch. Just this morning they received the package I'm waiting for then sent it to Milton. Now I have to continue waiting while it sits in a post office 15 miles away, when it was already at the post office a quarter mile from me. USPS charges way to much for this horrible service. USPS should refund shipping costs to the customer when they mess up deliveries like this
