US Post Office

I haven’t had the bad experiences others seem to have encountered, though it might be because I come in regularly (I’ve had a PO box at this location for about 3 years now). Does what a post office should for the most part, open Saturdays which is nice. The staff could be nicer to the non-​regulars.

I went to the counter and bought a bunch of stamps for my stack of envelopes, and proceeded to the side counter to start stamping them one by one. I was going to dump them all in the bannister afterwards, but the clerk brought me a bucket for my envelopes, and told me that I can just bring them right up to the counter when I’m done. He didn’t have to do that, and it was really nice of him. I didn’t catch his name, but it happened earlier today around 4pm.

I highly recommend this place if, as an average citizen, you wish to be subjected to the rudeness and scorn usually reserved for infamous class-​A war criminals — all for free of charge! This place may also cure low blood pressure.

I had a horrible experience there. I went there this afternoon to get information on my package. It says it was delivered but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I lined up there for 20 minutes before I talked to the clerk. The Clerk’s name is Peter! !!!He was working on his shift on June 10^th at 4 pm. The only thing he told me was that there was nothing he can do and I should go to the South Station USPS office. I thought it was unreasonable to push me away just like that, so I asked him what was the difference between South station office and this office. He in the most rude way just called for the next person and said:“I have talked to you.” This has never happened to me before. I wanted to talk to the supervisor but no one was available there. I was very irritated by his rudeness. I don’t think any customer should be treated in this way. I hope that is not the way he treats people around him.

Another horrible experience today at this post office. I am sick today but dragged myself out of bed because I had to mail a package, and this is the closest post office to me… the same woman I had the terrible interaction with over a year ago was her same old, mean, nasty, and condescending self. Unhelpful and was bothered when I asked for some tape. Still wouldn’t accept my package because it wasn’t the «right» size. Mind you, I am a seller on ebay and mail several packages out weekly at the same size with other post offices and never an issue! She made me drop it in a mailbox instead! Now, who knows what will happen to this package?!? I wouldn’t put it past her to go and get it from the mailbox later-​she is just that spiteful. She is for whatever reason, mean and awful and seems to enjoy making other people’s life miserable and adding stress to their day. Thank you for that-​much appreciated. Back to bed I go… Be careful, Unilocalers.

This post office is pretty efficient even if you come during lunch time. I had to ship something and didn’t have the time to toss up with the one near my house in Cambridge. So when I took my lunch hour I came here.
Silly me I forgot I needed to fill out a customs form when I send stuff international. No worries there. I was told I could step aside, fill out the form and come back to the front of the line when I was finished. No fuss no stress.
Then when I got to the counter again I got a delightful postal employee that told me USPS doesn’t insure packages going to Malaysia, nor do they have any idea if it will even get to it’s destination. Also if I ask the recipient if they got it and they didn’t that I should take their word for it. It amused me because my friend told me things are prone to ‘disappear’ or not make it to their destination if it was ‘something good’. So I was already well aware of the risks of my package being stolen. But kudos to the postal worker for confirming and making fully aware of where I was sending it. But the main thing is I didn’t spend an hour waiting for service.

This one of those. «We’re important government bureaucrats» POs as opposed to «We’re here to help the customer» POs. They go through their «is it dangerous, etc» recitals every single damn package. Also their how long it will take and they’re not responsible for anything under the sun (i.e. «we just put it on the plane» in regard to international packages). Ugh. Love seeing every single one of these people hunting and pecking why they type in every bit of customer form information. Excruciating. Lines aren’t bad though.

Yes this is a fairly busy Post Office, but the people are nice. I have a friend who was buying and selling a lot of stuff on EBay so they tretated her like a regular which was nice to see.
Great location though, you can get a like done if it is an errand day, super close to CVS Windsor Button and other places I frequent.

Nice, big, opens on time and the ladies behind the counter are nice. I can’t say that the waiting in line part is fun, but that is already assumed in the term «US post office».

Like any post office, it’s busy at lunchtime, but the lines move relatively quickly, so I can’t complain. No self-​serve package sending, but there’s a stamp machine if you’re in a hurry.
