Spencer Media Center

Worst place on the planet! Come on give me a break… charging to drop off prepaid items… is business that bad for you? They have horrible customer service and treat you like your dirt beneath their feet! I can certainly find somewhere else to drop off my packages, who needs them? Store is not organized and I have watched in amazement on occasion them trying to prepare packages for mailing! Save yourself time and frustration and find somewhere else to drop off your packages!!!

Eh, they started to charge to drop pre paid items off for pickup, even though they are a USPS authorized seller. So I buy my boxes there, my tape, my paper, but I can’t drop it off in your store even though USPS comes by everyday? There’s a new rule that it costs $ 1 to literally just stick a box in a pile on the floor of boxes ready to be picked up. Major letdown from a store I used to really like.

I work in Chelsea, and normally do all of my errand-​y type things while I’m on my lunch break, since most errand-​y type places are closed by the time I get home to Brooklyn. I had a Friday off from work and was in dire need of doing my two least favorite errands: laundry and the post office.
After discovering that the post office in my ‘hood was closed for renovations [I may or may not have gone ballistic outside of said post office after realizing this], I turned around to make the trek of shame back to the laundromat. On my way back, I stumbled across Spencer Media Center. They had a sign on the door that said they were a certified USPS shipping facility, so in I went.
I had no idea what I was in for.
Spencer Media is full of stationary, office supplies, and other items that a guy in his mid-​twenties shouldn’t have an impulse control problem with, including: fancy pens, stickers, animal shaped erasers, and silly bandz. This place is jammed pack with lots of goods… it’s a very unique shop. Any small office-​based business would find anything that they needed here. This would also be a K — 6 teachers dreamboat, as there’s a wide assortment of stickers and the like.
The shipping services that SM provides are excellent. The gentleman that helped me was very nice. I was in and out in no time. If I ever need to ship something in a pinch in my ‘hood, I will definitely be coming back here. No line at SM beats waiting in the never-​ending line at the post office any day.
