US Post Office

Avoid this post office at all costs, unless you’re just buying stamps or need a P.O. box. Drive down to the Pennsville USPS instead. This post office has lost multiple packages, and continually given us a hard time. If you’ve ever been here, you know immediately which lady is the Rude Lady.
No other post office in the county will lose your packages as many times as Salem is guaranteed to. You’ll never get your money back. Drive the extra fifteen minutes to Pennsville, it’s right between Walgreens and the PV Library. This is the only unpleasant location I’ve ever been to in my entire life.

This is an okay post office for the basics, e.g. mailing packages, buying stamps and such; if it’s the only one you can get it, it’ll do. If you want commemorative stamps, get in here on the release date, because they’ll run out quickly. Absolutely do not be in a hurry when you come in for service at the window; they usually have only one if their two windows open, and nobody (neither customers nor P.O. employees) seems to feel any sense of urgency. The employees are nice enough, just not nearly as quick as in other locations. We have waited in line for up to 25 minutes (behind just two other people; it’s not the Christmas rush!), we’ve had people in front of us give up and leave, while the customer at the window is oblivious to anyone waiting behind him/​her, and the employee seems to make no effort to hurry the transaction along. This is a normal day, here. People go to a post office to transact business and then get on with their lives, not to camp out, and there are ways that employees could speed up an excessively long transaction without making an especially slowpoke customer feel rushed or unimportant.
Also, if you have mail that must get out right away, I would take it inside the building to drop it in the mail slot. Over the past few years, we’ve occasionally dropped mail in the blue box on the side street (Plaza Drive) and more than once, that mail seems to have arrived at its destination a few days later than we’d have expected it to. Maybe it’s just a strange coincidence, but we’ve learned that it’s better for us to skip the convenient blue box.
All in all, we avoid this P.O. when we can, and take a deep breath of resignation when we can’t.
