They are well-stocked on all the recent stamp issues, so if you need a particular stamp for collecting or first day covers or mailing, go here first. Saved time and money by not having to order online. Downside is that there is no parking lot, but I was able to find free 2hr street parking around the corner on Columbus St.

Very rude postal workers. I went to mail a package to Canada and was not sure of what forms were needed and they just told me to look at what forms were available with no specific guidance. While I was looking for the form the clerk made a personal call where she was using offensive, profanity filled language and I told her that I found her language offensive and preferred that she did not speak that way in the public government post office and just told me to mind my own business and then she proceeded to talk bad about me to whoever she was talking to. I plan to use UPS or FedEx instead.

They close for about an hour in the middle of the day and there’s no mention of that, except on their door when you arrive. It’s very inconvenient, I’ll be looking for another post office to go to.
