US Post Office

Even if you don’t need to mail anything you should really come in here just to gawk at the architecture and the oldschool deco PO boxes if you are walking around downtown. If you do need to mail something, expect an average line, but at least you’ll have cool stuff to look at while you wait.

I was a bit concerned trying to find a post office downtown, especially around lunch time and this close to Christmas. I had a feeling it’d be a situation of pondering human existence in a 2 hour line of crabbiness but I was completely wrong!
They had a great selection of boxes, Christmas packages, and packing materials. The parking was easy, line was short, and for the first time that I’ve ever been to a post office, everyone was amazingly friendly! I have zero complaints. It was nice to see all the workers in the holiday spirit and willing to help out. I also saw another worker going above an beyond and helping a lady box a bunch of packages that she was trying to send.
Great experience, will definitely be my go-​to when I need to mail something.

I’ve only utilized the building for package pick-​up services, nothing else. All of the staff that I have encountered here have been very nice and helpful.
The building is goooorgeous, inside and out, so I never mind having to visit.
Parking is convenient, with a small lot located right next to the entrance. The only thing that annoys me is the strange walkways, which don’t offer a direct path to the main stairs to the building.
All in all, the staff and location make what is normally an inconvenient trip to the post office a delightful experience!

It is such a pretty building. So many PO Boxes. I was recently at Jury Duty downtown for a few days and had to drop off some thanksgiving letters to send to my amazing parents. It got the job done. Great time. Easy access.

So governmental and library like. Everything echoes when it makes a sound. Just feel as if I am not supposed to touch or say anything in there.. .
I love the architecture and the old style post office boxes…takes you back.
Very stately place to get business done. Lines were not long when visited, so this may be post office of choice!

Beat the line – come before lunch time

Huge and has some great architecture to admire and it’s convenient for a downtown location, and I am agreeing with Sandi W. here, gorgeous! My only thing is… there are no automated machines. WHAT? I was shocked to see that there wasn’t even one ship-​it-​yourself machine in here during Christmas.
So if you are looking for your old school post office, this is it.

This post office has always been helpful and kind to me. Sometimes the line is long, but usually not too bad. It’s convenient and it is a pretty building.

Fast. Efficient. Reliable. Three words to describe my experience every month when I walk over to the Post Office from my downtown office.
I will keep coming back to this location more for the service that the team at the Post Office hands out. They want to make everything you came to do at the post office happen, and they have a perfect answer for anything you ask them. Also, when you go there enough times, they recognize you and remember your name :)
You might think it is funny to do a review on a post office, but I am telling you, I will go to this location over the one close to my house. When I am busy during the day I look for speediness and I get it each time here.

What a gorgeous building! I don’t normally enjoy going to the post office but heading to this historic building downtown is almost a pleasure. Its connected to the diocese of Orlando. I had no idea what I was in for when I walked in but the marble entry way and high ceilings were beautiful and ornate carvings adorn the walls. This is really what all post offices should look like instead of the sterile enviornments most are. The tall ceilings give you a roomy feel and waiting in line with such pretty surroundings is even bearable.

At some point, we all have to visit the post office. Whether it’s to buy stamps, send a package or get your passport, it’s almost inevitable that a trip to this governmental agency will occur. Thus, I think it’s important to know which locations serve their citizens the best. And in all my years of visiting post offices in New York, North Carolina and now Florida, I must say that the downtown location here in Orlando reigns supreme.
First, the building itself is gorgeous. It’s a grandiose building with extremely high ceilings and marble flooring. There’s a neat plaque outside too for your reading pleasure – I can’t remember off the top of my head what it reads, but it remarks on the importance of mail and it’s place in our lives.
Secondly, the staff there has never let me down. They are cheery and will almost always crack a joke – no matter which employee you are working with. It’s that reason alone I make the walk here despite other more convenient offices; because it can be quite common for governmental employees to be less than friendly when they are serving you. This is not the case at all when you are at the Jefferson Street location.
