US Post Office

Definitely the best post office I’ve been to in a long time. Has a small town feel in the middle of downtown. No lines, great employees, overall 5 star experience!

Pros: great, helpful, and informative staff, easy location with 30 minute free parking just outside,
Cons: closed from 1 – 2 each day and not open on Saturday

This post office is a mixed bag. I LOVE the staff, Kirby is amazing and remembers everyone, it’s impressive. However, because of its downtown location and lack of funding they have pretty inconvenient hours and you’re usually going to wait in line. I think it’s worth the wait because the staff is always so nice and helpful but if you don’t want to wait I wouldn’t recommend this location. Hours are 8 – 4 and they close for lunch 1 – 2.

This is not just a regular post office. This is a SECRET post office. What are the benefits of frequenting a secret post office? Little to no lines, for one. Clerks who are not beaten down by the common masses and thus are pleasant people with which to interact. You even get a smile on occasion, which is rare as the US Government recently declared smiles frivolous and cut them from the USPS budget!
I kid, but i did learn an interesting fact about the USPS and their budgets. I went in today to mail a package and needed to adhere the shipping label that i had printed off the internet. When I asked for packing tape, the guy at the counter said that they no longer have that except for purchase, as the government had cut tape from their budget and had signed an exclusive tape contract with Hallmark. Since they’re a local company, yay I guess? Seems a bit silly to me. I also learned of a the government also slashed their ink pen budget, and no longer puts water fountains in post offices. Come on government, let the postal workers drink water!
OK, that was a weird tangent. Anyhow, I like this post office. I think they’re closed on the weekends, but it IS inside a giant office tower downtown, so is that really much of a surprise. It more than meets all of my package mailing needs.

Place wasn’t open on Saturday when I needed to mail a package before my flight. Not good enough.

I usually hate going to post offices because they’re pretty much all a giant pain in the ass. This little post office is conveniently located just one block away from my office and I can run over on my lunch breaks if I need to. There is NEVER a line. Ever. And the staff here is always so nice and friendly, which isn’t always common in post offices. Ask for Kirby, he’s the best!
This post office is on the second floor of City Center Square downtown – I think it’s the only PO downtown? Not sure on that one, but I’d always rather go to this post office then the one by my apartment where I always end up waiting in line for 10 years. If you work downtown, this place is handy!
