Parking at this location is scarce and it's on the street. There is a parking lot but you can only park there during midday hours while the post office trucks are out making deliveries. This post office is on Merrick road which has heavy traffic. There is no automated post service inside if you like that self serve option from the USPS. If you need that, head east on Merrick Road to the Bellmore post office: 2611 Merrick Rd, Bellmore, NY 11710
