US Post Office

A+ for parking, wait times, customer service, and retail.
I travel from Weehawken to come here since all the other post office parking situations are just horrible.
Came here to pack and ship presents, as well as submit my son’s passport application and both times the wait has been short and staff is very helpful.

Service is good enough but was harassed by a belligerent customer waiting in line for the service counter to open on a Saturday morning. I’d never been to this location before and upon entering there didn’t seem to be any defined line or any signs indicating where to form a line. I was standing in the «wrong» place and was literally berated by this customer. Thank you to the man who actually spoke up and indicated the line. To the post office… put some line designation signs in place — your facility is a maze of various counters. To the angry customer… happy holidays!

Went there to apply passport for our child. Was out of there in 15 mins. Very friendly staff and the lines are short. Ample parking.

They are open late. They usually have short lines except the after work rush and the staff has always been friendly with me. A big perk is there is also always lots of parking.

Pros:
* Prices are WAY better than UPS. Last Christmas, I attempted to ship some presents to my little cousin’s in St. Louis. UPS wanted about $ 45. The post office was about $ 14. HUGE savings if you are willing to ship it «slow boat to China».
* Hours: I have my mom’s Post Office Box here. She passed away about a year ago. The lobby is open until 7 pm, so it’s possible to get here occasionally to check the mail.
* Parking. I is much better than other USPS location, including Cliffside Park. I only go to my local Cliffside Park location if I HAVE to, such as to pick up a package. Edgewater has much more generous parking.
* Nice retail selection.
* Clean, modern facility.
Cons:
*Passport Hours: (a common «Con» to most USPS locations). Hours for passport service are restricted. Check in advance. You don’t want to come here only to be told you missed the window or need to come back latter.
* Civil Servant attitude. If you come close to closing time, they can be a real jerk. That’s the upside of a union job, I guess. Sometimes, real people have trouble making it on time. If the doors unlocked, it would be nice to help people, even if it means working a few minutes longer. That’s what people would do in the private sector to secure a sale.

2 stars for the greeting card selection, ample parking and for being open later during the week.
This office of the USPS is a head scratcher. I’ve had packages arrive without being delivered, and when I’ve gone to pick them up here at the post office, I find that the packages have been returned to sender. This has happened with parcels coming from California, which means a hell of a long wait to get the packages back. I always ask for a receipt whenever I mail anything here, because I just don’t trust when things are being sent out, etc. I’ve mailed letters to friends in RI and Florida, and the letters just never showed up, and were never returned to me. For a while I was avoiding this office completely and got in the habit of bringing my mail to Hoboken and mailing from there. The lines here are usually long, and a lot of the time the people are like, half assing it and filling out their forms and addresses while they’re in the line, expecting everyone behind them to wait. Like Mike B. What a joke. A long line at the post office is characteristic of people being unprepared. People, have your stuff done before you get in line. I feel like post offices need to run more Soup Nazi-​style.

How this place isn’t better reviewed is beyond me. Best office in the area, period. Friendly staff and a lot of room to write and seal envelopes, which can be done while still on line! Yes, sometimes the line can be long, but that’s a characteristic of any post office. What seals the deal for me with this post office is that they are open later than most, 7pm on weekdays! I rushed over here today to mail something and walked in the door at 4:58 just to find out they are open till 7! Maaaan how do you beat that?!

It must be nice to be part of a monopoly. I received a slip in my mail box saying that I had a package at the post office. The paper has the address and the hours of the post office printed on it as being «M-​F 10AM-​7PM» I was there by 6:45 and the place was empty save for a customer using a self-​service machine. The window gate was down and locked. The second «S» in USPS doesn’t stand for service anymore.

Always nice words, willing to help, I like the service here. Plus, sending a present always makes me feel happy. Problem? the long lines sometimes…

Love this post office for a few reasons:
1. Friendly and helpful staff
2. Lots of parking
3. Lots of supplies on hand
4. Lots of room to pack your packages, mail your mail, or whatever else you need to do.
It’s actually the only post office where I always have a pleasant experience!
