US Post Office

Tragic to shut down this main post office. Great hub in the area. Large, handled beaucoup people at once, always had supplies, and very nice people. Another Obama lack of leadership. Lets increase welfare and handouts, dump thousands more on unemployment, and radically alter postal service for the whole nation. What a man!

The main post office is closed, but there’s a smaller «annex» if you drive past /​behind the main building and to the right. It’s pretty cramped and crazy, though. Just a couple reps and just 1 self-​serve kiosk w/​long lines at both. I miss the original Midway post office!

I really can’t stand any usps but this one is taking the cake. my package was supposed to arrive on thursday the 4^th and even though it it had arrived on the third to this facility rather than get it out on time they decided to change my delivery date (but for some reason it still says on time even though they had to change the date) and deliver it a day later. i can see no reason for this considering this office is just a couple of miles from my house. i could have walked from my house to this office before they even sent it out. usps does not care at all. so sick of having the government workers not care. what”s the problem? why can’t y’all keep it together?

Absolutely crazy. Why would a postal employee recommend that someone mailing 6 over sized boxes (barely fit on scale) use the one and only automated system for stamps, letters and small packages versus waiting in line for a human. I waited in line over 30 minutes for the easy/​quick (not so) automated ATM style. I think she’s trying to ensure she isn’t replaced by a machine. Of course two of the labels didn’t print so a supervisor was called, another 10 minutes before he was finally wise enough to tell them he would need to help them at the counter.

Kinda hard to find given the small office in a maze of post office complex mayhem. Just flow the signs on the streets and you will be directed to the right spot. No pens, markers or anything to write with so make sure you bring something. They have a DIY kiosk and a long line for the main tellers. Good luck!

I have zero complaints about the customer service. All the women behind the desks are sweet.
On the other hand, I receive and ship a lot of mail and at this point have been pushed over the brink in money loss due the the post office losing packages I send. I would suggest that if you are shipping things from here, do not ship things that cost more than a few bucks because half the time they will lose the item or the item will never get to the recipient.
I am disappointed in the service and will not be using USPS again for shipping.

Do NOT go to the cleopatra looking lady. Just don’t. She was slow and unfamiliar at her job (she’s not a newbie for sure). I shipped an international parcel and I’ve been using the same custom form for the past three years without problems. She said I have to use a 11×17 custom form and I corrected her. She couldn’t answer any of my inquiries. I shipped here twice recently and they messed up both times. If you are in the neighborhood, go to the post office on Canon. I won’t go back to this post office.

OK — so the only way I could find out there is still a main post office and where it actually is was through Unilocal!Thanks Unilocalers. This is not a review of the current post office — just some additional help for others to help find the new one. I am appalled at the lack of signage on the old location to direct people to the new location. All I saw were chainlink fences with big chains and locks, the mailboxes ripped out and orange barricades at the old entrances. Oh and shopping carts, sleeping bags, homeless people sleeping and later 2 police cars to attend to the aforementioned squatters. The new location has a small sign you might be able to see from Midway if you are traveling from Barnette toward Rosecrans. I did not take a picture of that one. The larger one, pictured, is only viewable once you are off Midway and in the parking lot. It is confusing as to where you should actually turn… I first turned into the area where the postal trucks go by the big white clamshell tent. Yes — a tent. Looks exactly like the main FOB mail tent in Afghanistan. Calling the phone number listed on the site for the post office gets you a disconnected number announcement, no forwarding info. Can’t run a business this way. (Obviously!) Disppointing.

It’s still open! the new post office is to the right of and behind the old one. They did a horrible job letting people know this, I thought it was closed until another post office told me it was still open.

there’s still a post office here!
it’s not in the same building. if you keep driving back past the original parking lot and building, you will see another building to the right. it’s a pretty far back there and between the training course (which is hilarious, by the way) and another parking lot, but it is a post office. i’ve only been after hours so not sure if there is actually someone there to help you or not, but they have the self serve machine which should get any job done, as well as the PO boxes.

The Midway Post Office is closed, chained, and their 758 number is no longer in service. The drop off mailboxes are gone. There is a sign at the traffic light saying it’s open with directions to customer parking – which is a training area for postal trucks. There’s a sign pointing to BMEU drop offs – no idea what that is. NO place to park that I could see. Why would the post from ⁶⁄₂₈ (which is correct) drop to second when the one from March is wrong?
I’m in shock! Where was the notification via news and web outlets? And if there is a smaller location down the block, I could not find it.

I used to love this place and had a postal box here for years. They were open until 11:30 pm if I remember correctly. Then it changed to only 11pm. Then the hours were drastically shortened and they closed weekend nights. And now the box section is closed EVERY night. So there’s no longer any point of paying $ 57 per year for a postal box, when I work nights and would stop in after work. Really disappointing. It was ALWAYS busy at night, so seems a really poor decision to halt evening service. No wonder they’re losing money.

I’m not happy with the services that I was provided at my trip here today. All I needed to do was pay for my P.O. box renewal. After waiting in line once, I asked to make sure that that was the place I needed to be before I was up at a tellers desk. I was interrupted in the middle of my question then rudely referred to the photo. As you can see that doesn’t help me at all with today’s visit. I asked again to make sure that the worker, «the loading dock supervisor» Greg, knew that I was asking how to go about paying for the box. He said, «you should of listened the first time, you didn’t pay attention». I said, «maybe I missed something, how does this (pointing to the paper) address my problem». He then rolled his eyes, sighed, pointed across the street and walked away from me. (ik that they’re moving to a diff building, maybe I need to go there?) So, I got out of line tried to put together all he had said and figure it out. Didn’t work… I asked someone else that was working in the package pick up area to clarify what I need to do to simply pay for the box. He said that I needed to go to the line, which I was previously in, and pay there or that maybe the kiosk could help me quicker. Ok. Got it. Picked up my new keys with the nice package pick up guy and went to go back in line, again. Mind you, that it’s never a short trip through that line. So, once I was able to pay I did. Verified the rude man’s name with the cashier. Told her my incident in detail. She had actually overheard Greg talk to me… She apologized for his actions and was just overall trying to be helpful. I was so thrown off with how someone could be so rude, esp to me! For such a simple thing. I wish I could better explain his tone of voice but I hope that this gets through. Unfortunately two nice people doesn’t stick in the memory as one rude one. Yes, Ik govt, yes ik post office. I’m a nice person, had a simple question and maybe I’m just who he fired at after having a bad day. But that doesn’t make me feel any better.

Way better than Lemon Grove, although it is still the same US Post Office. The lines aren’t too long, although they have given me an abundance of issues in the past.
Apparently USPS does not make mistakes; they are perfect. They will inform you to file complaint that no one will read; that is pretty MESSED UP!
Save yourself some time and money and opt for UPS or FedEx for outstanding service and dedication!

The line is RIDICULOUSLY long!!! I know it’s a post office but geez! What really ruined my trip was this lady standing in the lobby area with her 2 white dogs. She was there last time too. My toddler loves dogs and constantly ran over there to see the dogs. When I asked her if the dogs were nice, no response. Yet she just stands there. GO OUTSIDE with your damn dogs! Sorry I’m just upset that I had to leave the post office without mailing my packages because of this stupid lady and her dogs

I have been in 3 TIMES to get rolls of stamps and was told every time «we are out»
REALLY ???
This is a main post office and they have no stamps ?! Then I was told to call before I came to ask if they have them, did that and the phone just rang and rang and rang…
Truly efficient… NOT !

Unless you have a bad experience, really what bad can you say about a post office? It’s not like you can do much of anything besides mail things there. With that said, I think this post-​office is pretty cool because it’s huge, really old and feels like it should be featured in a Ghost-​Busters movie.
The very few times I’ve actually been there have been without incident, very little wait and a nice staff. I wonder what it will be like around Christmas though…

I think we can all agree that going to the post office is no fun. I give this location a solid four stars because:
–There is parking
–I can use a kiosk there and avoid the long line.
Minus a star because the card reader on the kiosk is really bad!

wow this place is pretty cool! A full service post office and rows and rows of post office boxes! people were service friendly and it wasn’t too long of a wait.
love that they have these postage fan club meets and a separate counter for some rare stamps!

G-​I-​N-​O-​R-​M-​O-​US! I have never been to a Post Office so huge!
My 2 experiences here have been really pleasant:
— Extremely short lines
— Friendly and helpful staff
— Fully stocked on Priority Mailboxes (this is never the case at other spots!)
Can’t really ask for more from your local post office :)
