US Post Office

Ok so the wait was incredibly long but this was seriously the FIRST time I have ever been to a post office where the people working were friendly… Not just «hey how are you?» friendly but truly nice to be around! The wait was worth it!

Always insanely understaffed. Nobody on staff seems to care when there are 10 people being helped by one person, very slowly, on a Friday night, and two windows closed.
Avoid it unless you must come here.

The advertisement for flat rate packaging from the US Postal Service is that if it fits, it ships. I have shipped 100 or more of the same exact package that I attempted to ship from US post office in Des Moines Iowa on 1165 2^nd Ave. This is the only time in my entire life I have ever been told that I have broken the rules by attempting to turn an envelope into a box. Well, if they had a box that was smaller than the medium box but was not the size of a VHS, which by the way we no longer use as a society, then there might actually be a box option that I could take advantage of.
In fact, they even make flexible envelopes for shipping is a flat rate option. She absolutely insisted that I could not ship my package with her despite the fact that I have used this service at dozens of post offices around the country as we travel.
When I took a picture of the post masters information and also unit number, she attempted to tell me I could not take a picture inside, but we all know that post office is on close circuit TV and they record every person that walks in the door. Turnabout is fair play, if you videotape me, there is no way on this earth I am not going to be able to take a picture.
Worst service of any post office in America.
There were also three clerks working when I walked in the building, 15 minutes before closing, and she was the only one left working when it hit 5 o’clock. What the heck with the other two clerks doing leaving early with a line almost to the door?

Fast service and professional. Janice is very helpful and kind!
