PostalAnnex+

Dude always gives me attitude whenever I request a receipt whenever I drop-​off/​mail a pre-​paid package.

Postal annex in general is awesome! But the one in cedar hill has great customer service. The staff are always friendly and helpful. They love to answer any of your mailing questions and help you save money! The only reason i gave a 4 instead of 5 star review because at times there is only one person on duty and it can get busy. You might have to wait a bit. But its totally worth it and no where near as long as the local post office.

Realizing I need to mail some socks, I decide to stop by the PostalAnnex for an envelope. The following conversation ensued:
Me: «Do you have any of those envelopes the Post Office provides for free?»
Employee: «Those aren’t actually free. The Post Office gives them to you with the understanding that you will come back and use their service.»
Me: «Well…yeah…I know that. I’m not going to store things in it. I was just trying to describe what I was looking for.»
Employee: «Well you would be surprised! People take them and just use them for storage!»
…
Needless to say, the employee eventually produced a flat-​rate, padded envelope but didn’t have any non-​padded or Tyvek products that USPS has available. She then explained that I could buy one of their plastic, non-​padded envelopes for $ 1.50. That seemed pretty overpriced, so I decided to leave without anything and go to the Post Office instead.
I don’t think I’ll come back to this PostalAnnex. I’ve actually had pretty good experiences with other locations in the past, but this one just rubbed me the wrong way. I wasn’t looking to be accused of taking an envelope and then not using it nor was I looking to be educated on the correct use of the word ‘free’. I just wanted an envelope, which I wasn’t even able to obtain.
Not worth the hassle.

I used to go straight to the USPS post office for all my shipping needs. I will never, never do that again. Better hours, faster service, and friendly staff. Pretty much the opposite of any government post office I’ve visited (and you can still ship with USPS rates).
