Česká pošta Praha 5

I hate this place. I hate it. HATE IT. Every time I come here I have flashbacks of living in Russia, except this place is even more disorganized. First you have to get a piece of paper to go get a piece of paper to pay the tariff tax to get a piece of paper to pay another fine to get a piece of paper to get your package. Add to all of the trees they are destroying there is no real semblance of a line so it goes kinda by the honor system.
Then there are the hours. Seriously, only open until 5 two days a week and then 3.30 the other three? WTF!!!
While most of the staff is really helpful and nice, it is still a complete horror show.

I’m not entirely clear why the rating here is so low? At first when I found out that my package was being held here and I needed to go all the way to Prague 5… I was annoyed. But it actually wasn’t that far away. About a 10 – 15 minute bus ride from the city center and a five minute walk from the bus stop.
My interaction with the place was fantastic actually. People spoke enough limited English to help me figured out where to go to pick up my package and they were also much nicer to me than people at all the other post offices that I’ve been to. In fact, I’m a student, but the university I’m studying at never gave me a formal card since I’m only there for three months. Despite the fact that they don’t really accept my American university card, they still waived the 15% tax that I would have had to pay on my international package which was really nice of them. Service was fast and efficient and I was able to clear customs and grab my package and get out within 20 minutes.
tldr; as a foreigner, this was actually my best experience in a post office in Prague
