US Post Office – Hickory Hill

Was told my package wasn’t delivered because «we aren’t suppose to deliver to the 3^rd floor because it waste time walking up the stairs» and i was would have to come pick it up at the office. I know you might be thinking «well this package probably weighs a lot» well you would be wrong it weighed less then a pound. It is just an excuse made by a very lazy government worker that doesn’t want to actually do what they are paid for.

the employees there are pitaful they seem like they are so mistreated. i get sad going there and they move VERY SLOW. it doesn’t matter how long the line is there is no concern. seems they get slower so people will just leave and they wont have to wait on them. i have just this year since moving had to start going over here to to pick up packages about once a month … i dont know if i should feel sorry for the people cause they are mistreated or are they just being misserable and lazy on their own. just my opinion i hate being so negative but thats what i see here

This is my local PO in Memphis (at least that I know of), and it is about 4 – 5 miles from the house. The nice thing is it is fairly easy to get to with the exception of the time I was in the far left lane and saw it was on the right side… I won’t get into details but I did arrive there in one piece.
With the exception of the high grass (that seems to be the common trend at post offices around the country, but oh well), this place has plenty of parking, PO boxes, and space.
They also have a self serve machine, and they take care of your passports here too– which is nice– mine expires in August.
The only thing preventing this place from getting 5 stars is the double lane one way exit and playing chicken with the ahole next to you. Or maybe it was a single lane and he was just an ahole.

It’s rare to have a good experience at a post office, even rarer to almost enjoy it, but that’s how I feel about this post office.
I used this post office when I was mailing things out so I took trips here several times a week for several months over the course of 4 years. The employees here are usually friendly; I’ve only had a few rude employees, but they aren’t regulars. If you come during lunch or after 4pm, there is always an incredibly long line, but it moves quickly. I don’t think I’ve waited more than 20 minutes– which is pretty good for a busy post office.
Another great thing about this post office is the automated machine in the lobby. Hardly anyone uses it, but it’s so easy to skip the line and just use the machine. It gives clear, easy instructions and you’re out in a few minutes! My only complaint with the machine is that it cannot weigh media mail or international mail. Unless you already know the exact amount of postage, you’ll have to wait in the line.
