My packages almost never arrive on the delivery date. they’re always late. It’s clear there aren’t enough drivers in the area to keep up. At this point, I’d rather just pick up my orders myself instead of waiting around for another missed delivery.

Everytime I come here there's a long line. just waited in line for 15 minutes, by the time I left there were 7 more people in line behind me. Google Maps confirmed people typically spend up to 20 minutes here. But 90% of people are either picking up mail from a PO box or dropping off a package and pay for shipping which should take a couple minutes not 20. I just don't understand why in the middle of the day there's only 1 clerk working the front at a downtown store front. There's space for 4 cashiers and it says "less busy than usual" so I'd hate to see the line on a typical day.

Setting up a new P.O. Box and had the best experience. The worker helping me was the sweetest! He had all the answers to my questions and made it so simple and easy.

One of the best experiences I've ever had at a post office. I had two large boxes to ship internationally - the paperwork was pretty complex and I came in at the end of the day. I worked with two people, TYLER and BRIDGET, both of them were so helpful, patient and worked hard to get everything done to get the boxes out that day. I couldn't be more thankful for their help. Friendly, honest and efficient are the words that come to mind when I think about Tyler and Bridget at the Traverse City/Union Street post office. THANKS GUYS! Boxes made it to the address in time and intact.
