US Post Office

Stays open late which is nice, wish that was the case more often. Judy was very nice and so was the rest of the staff. But it’s still a post office. Don’t expect much, except the staff being very nice

This is the best lost office I have ever visited. The employees are always very quick, helpful, and friendly. I even stopped by a few days before Christmas and they had the line of customers in and out quickly. I would drive out of my way to use this post office over others.

This post office has very friendly employees with lines that move quickly. It’s the best post office I’ve been to in the valley, and I am an eBay-​er so I have been to many!

The only place that I know that open till 9.30pm yo! Lol…

As an online business owner I have had many intraction with other post offices in the Phoenix area. In fact there are two post offices near my home and I refuse to give them my business due to their rude workers. This post office is outstanding the postal workers are so friendly and helpful, the line always moves quicker, place is very clean, and they have an amazing guy that walks around to make sure all your questions are answered so you won’t waste your time being in line! I am so happy that I have found this post office and don’t mind the extra drive I have to do to get there!

It is disgusting to see 2 mail carriers in uniform making out in a subway restaurant at 930am. Trucks number 8 204 565 and 3 306 702… get a room or go home

This is one of few valley post offices that stay open late, which is extremely helpful during this Christmas season (and anytime, really). Luckily, this one is super close to my job.
I’ve found that as long as you’re not there during peak times (5pm-​6pm), the lines go pretty fast. I don’t know what the difference is between the employees here and at some of the other post offices, but they are always nice and helpful here. I keep having to go back for boxes and labels and the one guy was so nice that he even put the tubular box together for me.
They’re also great with helping you get the best shipping bang for your buck. They’ll offer suggestions for packing and sending. One employee was adamant to get all of my items in a smaller box so I’d pay less for shipping. And he succeeded! Awesome employees!

I never thought I would be reviewing the post office, but that day is here! This office is the most friendly USPS I’ve been to in 4 different states in my adult life. The staff is very polite and professional, attentive, caring, and proficient. Their small (in terms of ratio of the rest of the building!) but effective window service is cleaner and brighter than many other offices I’ve seem. Unlike many «abandoned» offices, this place is trying to stay alive. For the past six months using their services, thus far nothing has happened to our packages. Overall, I rather come here than any other nearby offices in Phoenix. :)

This Post Office truly is «Woohoo! As good as it gets!» I drive 15 minutes out of my way to go to this particular PO rather than the one in the pharmacy near my house, which jacks up the rates for sending priority packages. (I didn’t even know that that was LEGAL! Jerks.) Every employee who has assisted me at the Van Buren office is pleasant and tremendously helpful. The experts there will always advise me on how to ship whatever I’m shipping in a way that’s cost-​effective and appropriate to my desired time frame. Plus, they have a sense of humor. They give the USPS a good name. If you want to save money, have your stuff get to its destination, and feel good about humanity, go to this post office.

It’s a post office, so it’s difficult to get too excited. This location, however, has something great going for it. It is the central post office for all of Phoenix, with a mail processing center situated next door. Take your package here and there’s a chance you can shave a day off the time needed to deliver that package to the Midwest. Same possibility for First Class mail.
They have more experienced and friendly staffers here than at your average USPS location. The lines are usually short, although the likelihood of getting behind someone with an unique international mailing or a package in need of repacking seems greater here for some reason. On this day I experienced both, adding significantly to my wait even though I was third in line when I arrived.
Like most people, I don’t go to the post office much any more, instead opting for package pickup and/​or private delivery alternatives. And don’t even mention letters. Visiting here is a little like traveling back in time.

This is my favorite post office to visit because this post office is always stocked with plenty of mailing boxes in various sizes, always provides fast service, and has with enough open windows to keep the line moving quickly, it always has the sheets of possibly and it’s open (with clerks available) until 9:30pm.

This place really does earn 5 stars1 The customer service is excellent… I just arrived from Florida and told the front desk clerk I thought I was dehydrated from the heat, and she gave me a bottle of water! That is going above and beyond!

Terry helped me promptly when I arrived, offered to help me with the address label and so I didn’t have to do the self serve and saved time. She was very friendly and fast. I was in and out in less than five minutes to send a package.

Woohoo! As good as it gets! And, yes, I’m talking about a US Post Office.
The Van Buren Street US Post Office will have you in and out lickety-​split and I guarantee leaving with a smile on your face!
I’m fortunate that this Post Office happens to be in my neighborhood, but I’d seriously drive out of my way to receive awesome customer service and avoid the inevitable lines and headache at other locations.
The employees at this location are always so friendly, which makes it actually enjoyable to visit the Post Office! All of the employees seem to enjoy and take pride in their work, which shows in their interactions with the customers. The other day Terry saw my ASU card and said, «Go Devils!» I didn’t hear her and thought there was something wrong with my card so I mumbled, «Huh?» Then she smiled and gave me the Sun Devil Pitchfork hand sign — how awesome is that?!

Van Buren St Post office is the largest one in Phoenix, which probably puts it on the list for largest in America. But unlike some other post offices, it’s clean, functional, and there’s a friendly greeter at the entrance who will help you send your letter or package. Well, I just think that’s swell. This is the type of post office where the post master works and you can get a passport. It has all the different priority mail boxes available. Even the rare «mailing tubes.» In short the best post office ever. I have to give Unilocal a shout out here, i was gonna go to a different area location, saw the terrible reviews and sorted my life out. Thanks Unilocal

This place is legit! A friendly and efficient government service. As a taxpayer, this makes me somewhat hopeful, though not reallyz.
I packaged a box with my items and went straight to the counter, with no line. The guy told me if I put the stuff in a flat-​rate box it would be $ 5 cheaper. Sweet! I thought it was already in a flat-​rate box, but apparently not. He grabbed one for me and transferred the items.
It’s quite a paradox. If USPS had a good business model they would be pulling in more revenue to get themselves out of the red, but who wants to be upsold at a USPS? Not me. I often try to avoid USPS’s and opt for private industry just based on principle, but this place is so close to me, and remarkably good. It’s the needle in the haystack.

The staff is very nice and knowledgable :) I have a mail box here and I love how this post office stays open 24 – 7. I found that to be a huge plus!

Most post offices are the embodiment of government inefficiency. Understaffed, bleary, grumpy workers, limited and inconvenient hours, zero point zero customer service effort, lines fifteen people deep, you know the drill.
The Van Buren post office is a small gift from God, because it’s TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE. They have extended hours, rad for those of us with actual jobs that keep us occupied between 8 am and 5 pm. They are always fully staffed with real live, smiling, helpful people who seem to enjoy their jobs. More than once, they’ve helped me figure out a cheaper way to send stuff and have even helped me jam stuff into smaller boxes to save some cash. The self-​serve kiosk is always fully stocked and functional.
Plus, my local Arcadia location is like a depressing United Nations gathering, full of depressed-​looking people who appear wasted and/​or haven’t showered in four days. The Van Buren location is usually pretty empty, but once there were a couple of teenagers trying to send live chickens through the mail, which was pretty awesome.

This is a great post Office. They offer everything here that you need from a Post Office.
They are always fully stocked with your items for mailing, the staff is friendly and the place is clean.
They do Passports here as well. If you still do not have one this is the place to go.
I used to drive by here many times on my way home from work, but now that I have moved it is in the opposite direction.
No worries there, it is so close to my work it is great!
They are always open when I need them and things seem to get to their destination much faster when you mail them from here.
Of course they also offer PO boxes.
The lines moved fast even during the holiday rush!

I like how everyone leaving raving reviews for this place is all «I know, 5 stars for a post office, wtf?!» BUT! This P.O. earns every star!
Friendly staff! Hardly any wait! I finally (whoops) mailed out my Christmas gifts yesterday afternoon, and even at 12:30ish when the line was snaking around the whole room, I only waited 10 – 15 minutes. In and out!
They are fully stocked on regular envelopes and boxes, those flat rate shipping products, fancy and fun holiday and birthday accoutrements, etc. etc. etc.
Like everyone says, the thing that makes this location is the staff. They know what the heck they’re doing, and they do it well. I know serving up quality customer service can be a bitch sometime – ESPECIALLY during the holidays. I can’t even imagine working for the postal system this time of year, but they are pros!

How did I not know this place was here?!
I mean, I did. Ive passed it a hundred times but never thought to go there when I needed to send something.
Its now my 1^st choice. It may not be the closest one to me, but it is THE best. The lines were minimal (even w/​it being the holiday season), and every clerk was pleasent and helpful. Awesome!
And you cant beat their hours. Open til 9:30PM on weekdays and til 5 on Sat. You cant beat it!
