This is by far my favorite post office in raleigh. Mailing things is hard. Not only is this post office one of the only ones in raleigh open until 5, it is also the only one with Tonia. Tonia makes you feel like even though mailing things is hard, she is here with you and will make it easier. Instead of feeling rushed, dumb, frustrated, and like I’m making mistakes like I do at most post offices and mailing places, I feel seen and valued. Truly phenomenal. And beyond being helpful, she always asks me how my day is no matter how busy she is. She always makes my day better and makes a usually stressful task doable. Thank you Tonia!!!

The USPS website and Google state this is location is open until 5pm but when you show up it’s posted in a printed sign it’s closed at 4:45pm. After leaving work early and rushing to get there by 5pm to drop a package (because conveniently all of the nearby post office boxes no longer have a way to inset small packages, only letters) to find it closed was infuriating. Additionally I have stopped here on other days (in the middle of the day) to find it just closed completely despite it being posted online as being open. Not cool. Post your actual hours of operation.

I want to say the last 30 years of using the USPS services, I have never been greated with the kindess, that I received from Tonya. I pray she stays. I am not sure why postal workers can be so rude and unfrriendly. I hope Tonya can pave the way to more friendly postal employees. Thank you Tonya, for your beautiful personality and professionalism. I will gp out of my way to get service from this Location.
