- POPaul OlivaJan 4, 20261.0This New Providence, NJ Post Office (598 Central Ave. 07974) is a waste of time and $. It is a terrible representation of the USPS. Tara at the counter & the other clerks are very rude. They strong-arm the customers for positive reviews when they hand you the receipt. In addition, if you have a P.O. box there, the workers don't sort the mail to fill the P.O. boxes for many days. Sometimes this post office doesn't place mail in the P.O. boxes for over a week, even when I have been assured that numerous clients have been sending me mail. Very lazy staff. I filed a formal complaint with the USPS. The USPS is a Federal Agency & somehow this Post Office thinks it is acceptable to never deliver mail to the recipient. Where does this mail end up? There are many other Post Offices in the area to open a P.O. Box with much better service.

- LFLYNN FORSELLDec 6, 20255.0This is my go-to Post Office. I have found the staff to be unfailingly polite, well-informed, and helpful.
- RJRashmi JOct 9, 20255.0I have been to this office many times. It is always well stocked with boxes and envelopes of all sizes as well as greeting cards. The premises are clean and the lines are minimal except around closing time. Tara, the office employee, goes above and beyond to provide phenomenal service. I was shipping a box, which I purchased at the post office. It comes with tape stickers but they weren’t strong enough. Tara graciously offered to double tape the box for me with her own personal supplies of duct tape. She also advised me on the best box size for my items so that I don’t overpay. Great service and reasonable prices!
