- ENErik NelsonOct 4, 20251.0It’s insane that USPS understaffs this location. Regularly 10-15 in line with 30+ minute wait with 1 clerk working!
- PCP cruitJul 24, 20254.0IT DOESNT MATTER WHICH ST PAUL BOXES YOU PUT YOUR MAIL IN. ALL OUTGOING MAIL GOES TO THE PLANT IN EAGAN TO BE SORTED. ALSO, CARRIERS HAVE TO PICK UP THE BOXES DAILY. THEY WONT GO HOME UNTILL THEY DO. Maybe get an idea on the process before making accusations.
- CTchris tenquistJul 18, 20255.0Nice and helpful staff!
- JHJohn HJul 5, 20253.0This post office is only open during work hours posted. They do not have a real package dropbox. Once the doors are closed, there is no access to drop off a box. You will need to go to the Oakdale post office for a formal drop box for packages during off hours. This is a small office therefore, there is usually only one or two people working the desk so you may wait a while in line when it is busy. There are no stamp machines here as everything is done at the window with the workers. This post office can use an update or be moved to a newer bigger location that has more amenities, such that of the Oakdale office. Parking is sufficient. As for delivery service, it is slower than most. It took 3 days for my package to reach the Minneapolis Distribution center from NSP office. Once there, it took a few days for them to sort it and get it onto a truck to the destination, which has become the norm lately (I use USPS everyday for the past 20 years). No frills office, small and only open during work hours. Definately use an update and better facility.
- AWAbigail WJun 24, 20255.0The staff are friendly, helpful, and will have a laugh with you. They are always kind and happy to see my baby. I enjoy going to this post office. I have had service I believe with all the front desk staff. They answer all of my annoying questions.
