USPS

The rudest Post Office I have ever been to. You better know more about their policies than they do or you will get literally yelled at!
Don’t even try to come right after closing and if you are late to get your PO Box key, forget about it! You will be yelled at in the post office.
I literally went there twice and it was awful! Awful!
Stay away!!!

Although I live closer to two other post office locations, I use the York Avenue station almost exclusively because of the incredible customer service I receive there. I am a daily post office customer who mails out several hundred parcels every year. Rebecca and Victor really are the A-​Team. (I’m dreading the day that they retire). In addition to being incredibly efficient and knowledgable workers, they are also both friendly and upbeat people.
I am writing this Unilocal review because USPS wants to push more customers to use the USPS website and they are cutting staff at all post offices to the bone. There are some things that human beings do better than computers… and one of those things is managing mail.

The doors are unlocked early ’cause of the PO boxes, but the actual counter doesn’t open until 9:30, and word to the wise, a line starts forming at 9:20. There were two people working the counter, it was a little dark in there, but otherwise your average post office. Both workers seemed tired, but hey, just opening your place and finding a line already, I’d be low-​key too.

I hate going here, lines are long and service is slow, most of the time they have one worker for a line of 20 people.

I never write reviews unless I had a great experience or one that its so bad that makes me want to do something about it. I used to come here all the time and used to love the staff. Not today. I arrived at the post office with 4 boxes. One for local delivery and 3 international. I spend an average of $ 800 a month on deliveries. The post office was empty so a woman named Rebecca started helping me out. She took care of the big box for local delivery. 5 or 6 people walked in at the same time. so she told me to move over so she could take care of them first. My boxes, as far as i knew, were ready to go. I just needed her approval for size and weight. I had filled all the forms at home and had the addresses on stickers. The line filled and clear around 4 times. Around 40 minutes later when it cleared again she asked. «are you ready?» I had been”. As far as I knew. She starts helping again. Tells me a box is too heavy. that i had to take something out. I did. She said.“ok the weight is fine, just stuff it in with paper” I had to leave the place, find paper, get towels. fill it back in. when i seal it again, and after waiting 15, 20 more minutes, she tells me: «oh, and by the way, the box is too big». (Why didnt she tell me both things at once and didn’t make me leave, come back, tell me to stuff it with paper, make me feel like a looser and spend all my afternoon). She says: don’t worry we close at 5:30″. I start changing the box again. i wasnt blocking anyone, she tells me to move out of the way so people can go through. People could go through. i wasnt blocking anything. Someone else helped me out later and I was out in 10 minutes. This woman Rebecca in calm soft words made me literally cry. if she would have helped me right away instead of taking maybe 15 – 20 or mores customers i would have been out in less than 15 minutes. She never offered advice, a form a way or nothing. Only how to cut a box, after she had made me fill it up clear it fill it up again and then tell me it was too big. She made me feel unwelcomed and a drag that i wasnt just leaving a letter. I used to LOVE this post office when a tall skinny guy who I dont remember his name worked there. He was nice, polite and courteous. Again, I can’t speak for the rest of the staff… but this woman Rebecca humiliated me and literally made me cry. Not to mention I was in there for almost 2 hours. Ruined my day. Needless to say. I will rather drive further than risk feeling like this again. … and this is my first ever, bad review.

I Don’t know I always get great service here. Came to drop off mail and pick up a form for the passport. I asked a few question thanks for the love guys!

The guys who run this locations are straight shooters and that does not necessarily mean its a bad thing as they will help you in anyway possible.
Even though we live in a technological age where snail mail is being less infrequent unless you are sending packages, postcards (people still do that!), etc. The mailing industry will be around for awhile.
Anyways why would I review a post office?
Well if you have read my past reviews, if you haven’t feel free, I mention I am a hopeless romantic and boy do I love the cheesiness that comes with falling head over heels for someone. Well the honeymoon period of the relationship. I know this part doesn’t last long but do I milk every last drop of it.
Now how does this location come to play? I like to say that I am very good gifter (is that a word?) I feel like hearing what someone has to say to me I can gauge things they would like and try to see if I can get for them. On the flip side though the times I am actually with someone on Valentines, I do participate in this faux holiday but I really truly believe that giving your loved one a gift on a normal tuesday would mean a whole lot more than the one day a year when it is expected of you to exchange gift with someone you «love.» Sorry if I broke some of your hearts but I did say I partake in the tradition but I would rather relish in the surprise when it is least expected. Bringing this around, this place brings memories as I was with a girl who loved her letters (hand written not typed) and books. She loved receiving letters and thank goodness my penmanship isn’t chicken scratch, I would write in long form sweet nothingness. I did mention I can be cheesy as hell and I really should check myself for a psychological evaluation if cheesiness has been included in the newest DSM. I would order books online then have them sent to her though I knew her address and I was spending a little extra by doing this. I did this because I wanted to add a little extra onto the book flap or first page where it says «note» section, just stating sentimental value.
TYPING THIS REVIEW IS REALLY SHOWING ME I SHOULD JUST STOP AND SHUT UP. tmi
long story short
good spot, it’s right by my place!
good people, they haven’t strayed me away in the wrong direction yet though they have enabled me a bit in my hopeless romanticism. ah fudge!
Finally, I am single and ready to mingle! Though I must have turned off a whole lot of women with my cheesiness but all it takes is just one, so holla!

personnel is amazing, lines are horrible tho :(

Great little post office with great customer service. Lines can be long at times, but what post office doesn’t? Most of the workers here are friendly and efficient. They are always willing to help if you have any questions. They also offer suggestions as well for you to save on shipping costs. If you get there before it opens, expect to usually wait in longer than usual lines. Go a little after they open.
