- DPDavid PikulinDec 23, 20255.0I see that the Whitehouse Station Post Office is currently rocking a confident 2.4 stars on Google. Does it deserve 2.4 stars. Maybe. Maybe not. Hard to say. First, there are only 23 reviews. And honestly, who is writing a review of the post office when things go well, besides me? “Hi, I’d like stamps.” “Sure, how many.” End scene. That is not exactly a moment that inspires reflection. Most of the existing reviews focus on rude staff or general postal despair, so I figured I would offer a counterpoint. We already pay too much for greeting cards, and then we pay too much to mail those greeting cards. All I needed were stamps. I did not want the Costco stamps this year. That felt like a choice that would haunt me later. So I made the trek to the only post office in the area that was open. I walked in and was greeted. Was it warm. No. Was it hostile. Also no. It was appropriately gruff. It was late on a Saturday, right before Christmas, and frankly I would have wanted to be home too. I asked for stamps. He showed me what was left. I chose. He informed me that I had just purchased the last of the Christmas themed stamps. A small win, but still a win. Go me. I paid. We exchanged the standard thank yous. I left with stamps. He went back to doing whatever important postal things he was doing. No confusion. No mistakes. Just the correct amount of New Jersey energy. Will they lose your mail someday. Almost certainly. Will they lose your mail every time. Probably not. Will they successfully sell you stamps without incident. Based on this visit, yes. And honestly, that feels like meeting expectations. Which, at the post office, is kind of the whole point.
- MSMichael SecretJun 12, 20251.0Those clowns never pick up my letter in my mailbox more than 5 times! They throw mail in my mailbox without checking my letter. They screw and leave my letter in my mailbox.
- HMHeather MurphyAug 17, 20245.0I visited the Whitehouse Station post office for the first time today. Javier is awesome! Excellent customer service.
- JBJoe BooApr 27, 20225.0Very nice staff at this location.
- ASAndrew SchneiderNov 19, 20173.0This place waivers back and forth between the worst service I have several received from anywhere ever and the best mail experience I ever had...both from the same person and within two weeks of each other. Expect cursing and listening to the employees complain about other employees or flat out ignored while they do work in the back, but if you have a weird situation they will go out if their way to help you.
