US Post Office

If there was a 0 star that’s exactly what they would get. Worse service ever!!! Have one person working, the line is out the door & the rep is super slow! Takes forever with each person. And on top there are rude customers on the line letting others in front of them. Which means a longer wait if your behind.
Seriously one person working on a Tuesday. That is insane.

I have been here before and it was a good experience. I came in today and there was a black guy who was absolutely so horrible he reminded me of George Jefferson from The Jefferson’s insulting customers and acting boldly entitled as if customers have to use his business… except this was no comedy.
I came up with my box and he said very rudely, «You’re going to have to tape up that box YOURSELF!!!» Yes, dude actually yelled at me very disrespectfully when I had literally done nothing to initiate it. I didn’t respond in a nasty way either because I had been meditating earlier and felt centered and at peace (sounds so bohemian of me but it did help me to not get rude back). However, other customers were floored at how he spoke to me and another customer said, «I thought it was bad on 5^th ave, but this is worse.»
I wish that was all I had to say about this guy but there were several more times he continued to be rude. I completed the package address form for express next day because there were no priority stickers in the office where I could have the address filled out in advance. I did everything I could BEFORE getting to the counter to make this quick because I had places to go and things to do, and they had a long line. I had my pen out and ready, my money ready, address ready and in my experience every post office worker taped up the box for me so yeah. Anyway, he put the tape in the window for me to retrieve and didn’t even have scissors or a tape cutter I could use along with the priority sticker I needed to put the address on. I had to get out of line to tape it up myself and another customer voluntarily helped me to tape it up. He did say express was going to be expensive and suggest priority, but he even made that rude lol. I wish I would have had someone with me to record it so you can see that this is just not my point of view and I am not embellishing this to make it seem worse than what it was.
Dude spoke to me like I was retarded at one point lol. I saw the amount on the card swiper and started to lift the window so I could have my card ready to swipe when ever he told me to go ahead and pay. He assumed that I was going to swipe right away I guess and yelled at me JUST WAIT.
I was so ready to get out of there that I left without my receipt which would have the tracking info on it so I inadvertently gave him another reason to yell again lol. I hope he got all of his rudeness and yelling out of his system but I seriously doubt it.
This would have been a one star review but I believe this guy just ships the packages and they try to limit his interaction with the public unless they really need to because of long lines.

As far as Brooklyn US post offices, this one is typical. Not bad, not amazing. It has some friendly workers there (if you are friendly to begin yourself of course) and is usually only moderately busy whenever I go (usually in the early afternoon). I hate having to walk 1 mile to get there from my apartment, but that’s not their fault.

I totally agree with the people writing these reviews — BUT (and this isn’t the fault of the branch) wtf!!! (excuse me) why can’t the USPS allow this tiny little branch to be open on Sat. and why can’t USPS squeeze in one self service machine? That being said — most of the other post offices (with the luxury of a LOT more space… e.g. the one up on 5^th Ave.) are part of the USPS nightmare (OUR tax dollars, thank you very much — so what’s up with the mandatory resentment and sullen, entitled, bullying attitude of most post office workers? — you’re getting a steady paycheck on MY dollar… ok I’ll stop) — so back to the little Ovington branch — 4 stars! I guess the branch manager sets the tone — so props to him and I pray that this branch stays open.

What can I say its the Post Office, sometimes the last place you wanna be. I have experienced many a postal station that the civil servants were lazier than sloths crawling up trees.
And you wonder why the postal system is going bankrupt. But this postal station is a breath of fresh air. The service was fast and friendly.
I wonder why it is when you mention going to the post office most people cringe with disgust. Mmmmmmm

A small spot with great service. At times it can be a long wait as there are are 2 or 3 person behind the counter. I particularly love the location as it is located by the subway. Definitely a good place if you require postal service.

Very convenient location for me since I live around the area. A very small retail location, but you can get anything done at this location. The only thing you can’t do, off the top of my head, is pick up packages or mail here.
This place will get crowded and the lines can go as far as the door way. There is usually only one person at the counters, but the most I’ve ever seen is two. The line can move very slow.
Overall this place gets the job done. Convenient location for people that live around Bay Ridge Ave area.

Pretty small service spot, not too much space to go about. To the left, writing spaces and postal package envelopes, to the right, service windows.
The workers are usually quick, though there’s an older gentleman who takes his time. At most, I’ve seen 3 people at the stations handling lines that can stretch back from the windows to the main entrance. On these rushes, it feels like the whole line stops and drags because of the service pace.
Overall, okay location, I get my stamps and send my packages here with ease especially without the line of customers. This place is an easy to go to spot since it’s so close from the subway and bus stops.
Note: service is from M-​F from 9a-​5p, the larger branch on 5501 7the ave is opened on Saturdays.
