Newport U.S. Post Office

Worst PO I’ve ever been in. Both my wife and I have been in here 5 or 6 times. Waaaay understaffed therefore sooooper slow. For all I know the staff is friendly and competent but I rarely have the patience to wait it out.

I was surprised to find that this U.S. Post Office isn’t tiny and takes up a whole entire city block. I ordered a canvas to make a rug and my item sat last week at this post office for FOUR DAYS, and not on a Sunday when the post office is closed either. Pretty ridiculous, really. It has nothing to do with the eBay seller, either. Jane sent it right away, as was shown in the eBay tracking. Therefore, I have no other choice than to deem this ridiculous post office as incompetent and/​or lazy.

Fun Fact about Cindy: I’ve never actually had to go in a post office. I have either just shipped something directly from fedex, or had Justin drop stuff off on his way to work. Today the Newport Post Office took my virginity and I have to say, it was pretty glorious.
Sounds weird to be excited over a post office right? Well let me tell you — I was super anxious being on a schedule knowing I had to ship something yesterday. I figured the line would be out the door at lunch time for the holidays. When I walked in it was exactly the opposite. There were a few people getting their things together and as we were trying to figure out the perfect box the lovely woman behind the counter waved us over and basically did everything for us. Is this a typical experience?
All I had to do was write the label, she picked out the box, taped it up, packed it and shipped it out for us. I was so excited at how quick and painless this experience was she said, «You don’t get out much do you?» hahah!
Long story short we were in and out in less than five minutes, no joke. This post office rules all!

Best delivery service in the area. The letter carriers are fast, friendly, and accurate. Customer service comes first with this office!

I’ve been using Newport Post Office for years and it’s definitely the best one on the south side of the river. I can always get in and out within five minutes, and the line rarely lingers. The building is easy to access, which is impressive for an area with one-​way streets. I’m usually able to find a parking spot quickly too.
If you’re a regular, you’ll get to know the clerk, Mary. She’s super speedy with transactions and will chat with you. How often can you say your postal clerk remembers details about customer’s lives? That’s Mary, and we’re lucky to have her.

This is the post office branch I use most often. Although I wish they had automated stamp machines, the employees are friendly and helpful. I mail packages here because it’s easy to get in and out of (given the one-​way streets), has plenty of parking and I usually don’t have to wait very long.
