US Post Office

Really nice employees, nice space with lots of supplies. A package I had went missing and they were able to hunt it down and figure out why it went MIA for me, and were really kind and helpful all along the way. I’ve been to a few post offices in the boston area at this point and they’re definitely one of the better ones.

called a couple times checking on packages sent from San Francisco. A true gentleman answered the phone, I called first thing in the a.m. He is amazing, very helpful, took my number called me back. I went to the post office personally and spoke with two women at the desk who were most rude, unwilling to help, i.e. walk away from the desk to look or ask questions regarding my inquiry. If it weren’t for those two women I would have given 5 stars.

This post office is strategically in the right place — Quincy Ctr. A stone’s throw away from the T, I use this branch for my infrequent mailing, shipping, stationary needs. The hours are good and the place gets the job done.
The inside is pretty big and it is one of the post offices that has retained it’s old look and yet is very modern.
The staff who seems to be working here forever are very helpful. On my own — I invariably have trouble with finding the right kind of box and quite often get confused between the different kind of express /​overnight /​insurance /​sign required options etc. They clearly know their stuff and help you to the max with any queries you may have.
As I said, nothing beats the location. Enough street parking if you are driving. In the evenings when the spots are all taken, you can park in the lot of Thomas Crane Library which is bang opposite.
All in all, a very hassle free experience — always.

Rudeness in this post office is unbelievable. Try calling them 9am and you will feel like a telemarketer calling someone who hate the the telemarketer. They should just retire this old employees who are clearly not there to help people. Thank god the US government is not paying this organization.

Judging by this location it is hard to believe the post office is going under. It’s always busy and there is almost always a long, long line, especially after 4:00 PM. If they are doing passports forget about it. It does get the job done though and the building itself as well as its convenient location are nice.

Went here today to check on a package my mom sent. They saw the tracking number and said «that’s not one of ours» and dismissed me after spending a minute checking on it. Uh, actually, I checked after and the tracking number WAS one of theirs, so now I have to go back. Not super cool; the package was not only tracked but insured and is all kinds of disappeared :(
Well, easy parking though.

If you are expecting a package and this is your local PO, you might as well just go there and ask if they have it. They don’t try to deliver it. I’ve been tracking a pkg, and the last two days is listed on USPS site as customer unavailable or closed. Bull… no peach puppy and no listing on the doorbell log. Oh well the new USPS, you pay for shipping, they don’t have the people to deliver, so they let it sit around until you go and look for it.

Went in today with 188 packaged T shirts because paypal wasnt working for me last night. Tina assured me it wasnt a problem and assisted me in shipping these babies out with haste and went in the zone for about an hour and a half. Peggy also was busting her ass moving bins and bins of T shirt packages. though next time i will ensure printing to ship though paypal. these people here were fast, polite and even funny.

So glad to have this post office. Parking is a bit cramped but the office has everything you need, including real live human beings!

The positives: walking distance to the T, open till 6 PM weeknights, no wait at 5:15. The lady who helped me was very nice. After experiencing some nasty post offices in the city this was a pleasant surprise. I wouldn’t change a thing therefore 5 stars.

I love my post office. Yes MY post office. Sadly I think others are learning of how amazing the staff is here because over the last 6 mos or so it had been CRAZY busy when I have gone in. But even so the line moves fast, the staff is always so friendly and jokes around (breaking every «postal worker» stereotype there is).
This place is also never short of characters. This makes the wait in line seem a little less. Once I got to hear an older woman yell at someone over the phone about mail being sent to God since she never received it.
I hope the USPS realizes how amazing this office is.

Your friendly neighborhood postal clerks.
Courteous, efficient. Not just one of them, but every single one of them!
They’ll even help you verify your passport documents before you send them.

Yeah… its a post office… and kind of what you’d expect. Well, except that they’re actually friendly. Oh, and a bit helpful.
I got my pass port photos done here. The friendly guy at the counter offered to look over my form, and mail it right then… of course, I forgot to bring a check, so I had to hold off on mailing it then.
The place looses a star for charging a bit more than… well anywhere else to have passport photos taken.
Another point for when I asked if there was any way I could get my passport back after my new one is processed, I was told «no». I found out later, they mail back all old pass ports automatically.
Also, when he told me how much my fees were going to be, he didn’t notice I was also getting a passport card (additional 20 dollars), so if I didn’t spend some time on the
web site, I would’ve had my request rejected… But that might have been my fault, since he didn’t look over my application before telling me how much I should send in.
So, friendly, courteous, and possibly misleading.

Lets see… I quickly found parking right in front, I walked right in with NO wait, and the window clerk was VERY friendly with a great sense of humor. Ohhh, AND her chair had a message on it (written with black marker) saying, «move this chair and you will die». Hey, it doesn’t get much better then this!

Yes, I am rating a post office. I go here, as it’s easy to park and it’s usually not too crowded. The postal people are very friendly. In and out.
Within walking distance of Quincy Center Red Line T stop or bus 220 or 222.
Street parking or you can park at the library parking lot for free.
