If you want your important state documents to get “lost” EVEN THOUGH you send it certified, with tracking and have it stuck in a Rhode Island post office, since April (going 7 months now), and none of the postal workers can help you out and just shrug their shoulders, then this is the place for you!!! These important state documents were being sent from Waltham, going to Boston. There was no need for it to go to Rhode Island! I hope this place gets audited! Avoid this place!

This women was horrible in her attitude. I was not allowed to put the money in her hands I have to put it on the counter. She was not wearing gloves or a face mask. I know a Karen when I meet one.

Fast and helpful customer service mailing a package weekday mid-morning. Easy parking, two municipal lots on this street. Small location but spacious enough for several customers.
