I'm here now it's 13:11 hours on Tuesday - the lobby is open but the counter is closed and after ringing 3 times for service, no one came and opened the counter. It seems like whoever is running this joint is deciding their own hours. Unacceptable.

This post office has many bad reviews, I walked in expecting the worst. I am happy to report that the young lady was charming, helpful, and efficient, all this with a smile.

I know it is probably staffing issues, but the Richmond Heights post office has very unreliable hours. This post office is close to me, but it is often closed during it's stated business hours. I rarely go here because of this issue.

They don’t scan in your packages and never ship them out. DO NOT take your packages here! Lazy workers. They don’t do their job and it costs you money.

The worst location. They just open whenever they want. I have gone 3 times in the past 2 weeks and signage states they open at 9 am. Each time has been after 9:30 and they still are not open. Very unreliable.
