- SHScott HensleyDec 17, 20255.0The Post Office at 1179 Main St in Wakefield is honestly a little hidden gem. It’s only ever really busy a couple of weeks before and after Christmas, which makes most visits quick and easy. One of the regular staff members, a woman who works there often, is extremely friendly and does her job very well—always professional and efficient. I can confidently leave prepaid packages without worrying about needing a receipt or whether they’ll get scanned properly. I almost hate to leave this review because I don’t want word to get out and have this place overrun with humans, but credit is due where it’s earned. Great service and a stress-free experience every time.

- DADaniel AlcalaAug 11, 20255.0A true gem of a post office. Never wait more than 5 minutes, super friendly personnel, and never any issues w shipments. Go try a post office in NYC and you’ll realize how good you have it here!
