Went smooth very efficient. Clerks were amazing . Helped me purchase boxes The crew was very friendly, knowledgeable. read more

After all these years USPS still sucks. I thought they were trying to expand? The lines are long and they never redeliver. They think its ok to leave a note outside the front door and expect us to pickup. Whenever we go theres only 1 line with 20 people waiting on it. Theres no more pickup line. This is ludacris. read more

Terrible service. I have Chinese friends and the people who work there are awful. The treatment is terrible. I missed my passport appointment thinking the Chinese community would be different, and I had a very bad experience. That's why I'll stop ordering Chinese rice for a long time. They were very rude and treated me very badly; it was awful. Someone has to stop them. read more

Trust the reviews. If you think you're going to bypass the lines by going to the self post kiosk, think again. I'm extremely prepared when it comes to post offices, I bring my own tape, pen and like going to the kiosk to buy my postage and drop off mail. However, at this location, the drop off boxes don't work for letters or for packages and asking for help is futile. So it doesn't matter how prepared you are, be prepared to get in line even after all that prep. A very kind lady saw that my package was already paid for and that just needed to drop it off and she let me cut her in line to hand it to the employee working at the window. If the drop boxes worked for paid parcels and stamped letters as they are intended to be, it would make this location slightly more efficient. read more

On one of the busiest mail days of the year, why do you have only two windows open? Who thought that was wise? Customers were cutting the lengthy line, the cashier sold me the wrong stamps, an employee was angry at folks trying to get in after closing, and a man was urinating in the bushes outside. Not a pleasant experience. And certified mail slips aren't available in the lobby so you will have to get them from the window. But being open until 8 PM on weeknights is still a plus. And this post office is conveniently located, with some grocery stores and downtown Flushing's eateries close by. The building looks stately and historic; I liked the murals near the ceiling depicting various neighborhoods in Queens. read more

Would leave 0 if I could. Had a package that was arriving today, it had signature confirmation and I was home when it was delivered. They didn't ring the doorbell and left a pink slip, then when I went to try and pick it up the black lady had a massive attitude and was not helpful whatsoever. All of their employees and mailmen should be retrained or fired because this is unacceptable. Never go here if you can avoid it. I forgot to take a picture of the black lady in question but she was by far the worst person I ever had the displeasure of interacting with and it was the biggest mistake of the entire visit. read more

Awful Service, long line, some windows opened but then closed for no reason. No one served line one for whole 30 minutes. Not helpful. Terrible service. read more

I will give a "Zero" or negative if is possible.They are SUPER rude and work with attitude. UPS/Fedex/DHL all can deliver to my address and only USPS never attempts to deliver. And they will NOT attempt to deliver the second day, they just return to the sender. They should directly close down. Don't know why with a rate of 1.5 with no improvement. read more

If I could give it a zero I would. The lines are horrendous and workers are nasty. You can't even enter thru the front because of all the Asian people selling their crap all over the place. Flushing has become the center of filth and all the tables with crap all over but in front of the post office really? I've never seen this at any other post office.... read more

This place is the literal worst. Don't waste your time because your whole day will be spent waiting. The lines are miles long and take forever despite having 5 or more windows open at all times. Most of the staff are extremely rude and impatient. The only good thing about this post office is that they have self service stations. read more

good customer service but very horrible timing line be out the door too much old clerks youll be in this post office for hrs just for a stamp very very horrible wrk timing need young employees read more

This is one of the worst post offices in the city. The employees hate their job and they want us all to endure their misery by making it so hard to send anything. They all talk to you like your stupid and have attitudes that try to burn through your soul like acid. I hate going there and I avoid flushing post office as much as possible. The way they run business is unethical and needs to be handled. read more

US Post Office - Post Offices Near Me - Flushing, New York

Going to this location is challenge in patience and resilience, as this is one of the slowest places in the world, with the toughest parking. So unless you are on a trek of self-discovery, or a glutton of masochism, why come here? Well, because this location is a one-stop-shop for many who are looking for services that the post can offer: stamps (especially if you are a collector) , packages, PO Boxes, and passport services. I came an hour before closing on a weeknight and still had to wait almost 45 minutes on the line for a teller. Despite having multiple windows, every time I've been here there's only been three teller windows open. I would suggest going here if you are a local who lives nearby, or taking mass transit, as you will likely exceed the one hour parking limit on the street (and it's already a miracle you found a spot). read more

I went to the passport service window to simply ask a question and the lady working there this morning had the NASTIEST attitude! I didn't have an appointment because I didn't actually need one since I was just renewing my application. All I needed was to simply ask what type of mail I should send it as and with the neck roll, eye rolling and teeth sucking she blurts out "PRIORITY MAIL, NEXT!". She is clearly miserable and she is soooo lucky I've grown up cause I sure would've out her in her place about her miserable life! Please know that there was no one there for their appointment, so it's not as if I was holding up a line or anything. read more

Really, let's face it. Most USPS locations have bad reviews and this is no surprise but I feel it's even worse than the other 2 locations I go to regularly. I usually dropped off pre paid label in Murray Hill midtown or Rego Park Area so first time that I swing by Flushing and thought to just drop off here instead oh boy what a pain. Long huge line on a WED, and no one is there on the floor to help since they probably have one person in the counter w/such a big and busy location esp during a weekday? So their self service doesn't even work and their dropped off boxes don't work either and couldn't get a damn receipt like you would in other locations. Finally, saw someone went inside the Password section and there was a huge dump that probably dropped off parcels. So normally, the day that you dropped off you get a notification that tracking is moving/tracking but dropped off on a WED and finally got a notice that it's moving on a SAT? Wow, sure is a weird sign but good thing it is moving I mean better late than lost right? But in every location I have not experienced this, the day you dropped it it tracks but it takes them 3 full days. So I would NOT recommend this place for anyone who values their mailings. DEF NOT a safe place to mail anything. read more

The old white man at counter named Daniel is very impatient and rude. I run a small business with over hundreds USPS packages everyday. I drop off packages and go to counter ask for priority boxes for next day (they don't put boxes outside btw) - this is my daily routine. Daniel pretended not understand my request. I asked again politely. He started to YELLING at me. Seriously?!????! Yelling at your customer wasn't a smart choice. If you hate your job, just quit. He deserves only negative stars. Horrible customer service. Nasty attitude. Avoid this location! No where to park anyways. read more

This place is terrible. It takes about 30 minutes to deliver one piece of mail which is only approximately a one minute exchange. because the self-service drop off isn't working. Additionally, there's absolutely no workers outside to assist you in anything or answer questions. The line moves along slowly and is the least efficient way of distributing mail. For one of main and only postal offices/services around here, it's the worst. read more

Worst experience with the post office EVER. They combine all the services together and everyone had to wait in a long and slow line, there are only two windows available. I waited almost an hour trying to pick up my package, and when it finally gets to me, the staff seemed like doesn't know his job and told me to wait on another window instead. He told me to wait at a window where there was no one in it and says he is not sure if I could get my package in that window, he just told me to wait until someone comes to that window, isn't it interesting? Don't hire a worker that knows nothing about his job and needs his coworker to clean up his mess and had us customers deal with his unprofessionalism, PLEASE. read more

There always seems to be a long line when I am here and the usual wait is about 10-15 minutes. This is one of the larger US post offices around the area with a passport center, PO Boxes, package drop off area, and self serve kiosks. The customer service reps are able to create money orders easily and they sell a variety of different stamps. They seem to have a larger selection of stamps (Disney, seasonal, American flags) than most post offices I have used. read more

negative 5-star for the new manager of this location. She is a short Chinese mid-age lady with shoulder length wavy hair, dark tan skin. She looks just like a sneaky mouse and By looking at her face , I already knew she was freaking mean. She forced me to pay extra postage even though I don't have to. I have been ship many years I know what I'm doing and how much I need to pay. She said I can't mail the item if I don't pay extra. This lady seriously has to be fired!!!! Like immediately! She doesn't know what she is doing! And since she is a manger , I saw she gave bad attitude to her co workers. You are not a boss ! U will go home next month!!!! u take my money and buy some medicine to heal your mental illness!!!!!!ugly heart!!!!! read more

Size means nothing, aka quality not quantity. As patrons enter one would assume the postal clerks/employees are plentiful and service is efficient to serve.... NOT! I completely agree with a previous Yelp reviewer. Three or four postal employees to serve a long-haul bread line that snake around three times for one hour for a simple transaction of sending a airmail package to Melbourne, Australia. I have never encountered such turtle moving yet lazy and inefficient employees as it will take patrons one hour to be properly served. Saturdays and during the business week of lunch hours are the worst at peak time. read more

US Post Office - 4165 Main Street Flushing, NY - Post Offices Near Me - Flushing, New York

I understand people's frustrations because they don't have adequate staff at this location to service this whole neighborhood. It boggles the mind why they have so many windows and registers, but normally only 2 or 3 people working the windows. I am sure the neighborhood sends a lot of international mail/packages and they need to add to staff to accommodate those requests. This is probably the last post office in all of NYC that makes any money. Luckily i don't need to spend much time in here. I only come in to buy stamps at kiosk. It is always easy breezy. I really have no use for the post office because everything is delivered to my front door. I have used their window service previously and most of the times it was a big production, but i am glad i can now stay away as much as humanly possible. read more

Update second visit 1/30/2020 So came here again to mail my hubby's passport and docs for renewal. I told the lady right away that I'm not familiar how it works with the tracking system but she didn't even bother to answer me and just kept on saying $7.95 (price I have to pay) I asked her again and she said $7.95 again. I asked her once again and still said $7.95, I finally lost my patience and demand for answer to my question before paying. Very rude, she's a young black lady, the older Chinese is the same thing. And the old white lady in claim package area. read more

This area is ass, the workers there gives you nasty attitudes and they don't give a shit about the line being long. They only work for one or two hour and close their line after. They can't even get their job done, I could see them walking around in circle after closing their line. They have too much free time and wouldn't use it properly to do their job. Wasted more than a hour there. Not worth your time at all. read more

For clarification, I've only had a PO Box here for less than a year. In total, the amount of packages I've lost because someone is either stealing them or misplacing them is infuriating. The less value an item has the chances of me receiving them are high, if they're worth something more I never see my packages. I've had multiple packages delivered on the same day and it's no coincidence that highly sought out items are the only ones missing. EVERYTIME they tell me "without a usps tracking number I can't locate your package" it's absurd to have to pay almost $60 for three months and not be able to receive at least 1/2 of my items. If you're going to cancel your PO BOX I suggest you wait until you've received all of your packages otherwise you won't be able to use your box once you cancel it. They scam you and then they tell you you can't use your box anymore even though you already paid for the other months. It's absolutely ridiculous how they take your money and don't even inform you about these things. This is truly the biggest scam, look elsewhere for P.O. Boxes because this office is not able to handle anything like that (unless of course you don't mind having your packages stolen) read more

This review is for the Passport line ONLY: I remember my sister coming here ages ago to renew her passport. I came on a Friday afternoon and I was sad to discover that this place was closed. There was a sign saying that they can only process 20-30 applicants a day, but they open Monday - Saturday and that the line started at 7am in the morning. Fine, I came here on a Saturday morning at 8:30. Again, this place was closed...wth is going on here? What I didn't realize was that this place actually opened at 9:30am and that the "line started at 7am". A staff member finally told me that these were for "NEW APPLICANTS", lost/damaged passports, renewals when their last passport was issued as a minor 16 years old and under, and for people whose passport expired more than 15 years ago. As for me, I didn't have any of these issues and all I needed to do was just fill out an application at home, send in a recent photo, expired passport and check ($110 for regular service and $170 for expedited service) and mail it in. Little did I know beforehand. Lesson learned: in this digital age, check the damn internet first! read more

US Post Office - USPS, you just broke my heart! See you tomorrow! - Post Offices Near Me - Flushing, New York

The worst post office I've ever been to. The 1st thing you'll notice when you enter this post office is how huge it is. If you've never been here before, you'll probably think that's a good thing and they have lots of employees. Wrong!! The lines at this post office is crazy long, and they only have 3 or 4 employees serving at a time, so there's been times where I've waited an hour. What makes it worse is that the staff is slow. They have the laziest workers working in this location. I've had better service at McDonald's. This post office is very busy due to its location. Its located where there are thousands of immigrants who mail and receive items to and from their homelands every day. You would think that due to that fact that it's that busy, they would hire additional employees, but I've been coming here for 15 years and it's been the same ever since. 2 good things about this post office: First it's open until 8pm. Second, the place has some cool wall paintings. Unfortunately, the painting can't keep my mind occupied for a whole hour while I'm waiting on line. I've probably been at this post office a hundred times when I lived in the area, but luckily, I moved and don't have to deal with this post office any longer. read more

This post office it's a nightmare. There's no enough workers. They are so slow. I regret going there. Bad service.

Only 2 windows open.and the lines are a mile long and staff are rude ,please dont waste your time coming here

Every visit here is slow torture with too few clerks serving too many patrons. Given the neighborhood demographics, this really should be open seven days. read more

Asian lady with short hair and lipstick was extremely rude. Asked her a question if I could do self shipping with my package and she quickly dismissed me with a disgusting attitude, saying that I could just throw it in the mailbox even though i specifically said i wanted to get a receipt. Honestly recommend shipping packages somewhere else but if you do come here, don't bother asking any questions because you will be ignored and left feeling disrespected read more

this flushing post office is the worst! came in to send a small package and used the kiosk (thank goodness because the line was so long and moving slowly). unfortunately after purchasing the correct package, the parcel boxes were both full and needed to be emptied. Thus, I wound up waiting on line anyway. The line moves slowly as i) not that many tellers, ii) customers on line were often elderly and thus moving slowly, iii) many on line only speak Chinese which also slows down everything for everyone. In addition, this post office is small and feels cramped and disorganized. I may have picked the wrong day to go but my advice: Avoid if you can! read more

US Post Office - line on a winter monday around 3pm - Post Offices Near Me - Flushing, New York

It really depends on who helps you. I visit this post office pretty often to mail packages. Usually I use the shipping kiosk as it is useful and fast especially after you get the hang of it. At this time, in my experience, not all post offices have these kiosks, so I do like this location for this reason. I've used the post windows a couple of times as well, such as my first time shipping packages as well as for international shipping. My first time shipping a package, a very kind man helped me and was very efficient. He even added extra tape to my box over the shipment address to ensure it wouldn't get ruined by rain or anything. The older lady who usually stands by the side counter near the stairs is also very kind and helpful. I had trouble opening the mail drop near the self kiosks (I think they get stuck or something sometimes), so she came over and took my packages for me. However, once I had to ship an international package so I waited on line for the windows, and a younger female was definitely incompetent and didn't know what she was doing. Furthermore, she gave the attitude as if I were inconveniencing her life. Honestly, simply from shipping packages before, I knew the drill better than she did. I was shipping a package to a military base in Guam, and this concept confused her deeply. She gave me an annoyed face before asking another worker for help. I waited maybe ten minutes just standing there for her to hand me the customs form. She then had me leave the window and fill it out separately, so I had to line up all over again. The second time around, I avoided her window and went to a different woman, who was very kind and processed my package in maybe a minute or two. I've also gotten my passport done here, and don't really recall the details of it besides it being crowded thus the wait being long. However, once it was my family's turn, we were processed quickly. read more

The lines are always so long!!!!! What makes it worse is that there's a long line and there's only like 1 or 2 clerks open...why?!?! So the whole process takes longer than it has to be. Honestly, I hate that i'll have to wait in such a long line only to take less than 5 mins when it's my turn!! Also, if you want to have your passport done you have to get to the office EARLY!!! Although, there's no appointment needed- it gets packed early in the morning just for the passport processing. I actually came a bit late and the room was packed and they did not have a sign explaining the process of the whole thing. Good thing I actually asked someone about it and how do I know it's my turn. Apparently, there are numbers given in the morning. There is a certain amount given, if you came and didn't get one you're screwed, come another day!!! Just the thought that If i didn't ask and would had waited makes me shake my head. read more

Despite all the haters, I like this post office. Granted I never used window service before, but you don't need to. There's an Automated Postal Machine! How awesome is that? If there's is anything that people like to complain about going to the Post Office, it's the Postal workers (where did you think the phrase "Going Postal" came from?) But with Stamp Vending Machines and Automated Postal Machine, it becomes unnecessary for Postal workers to be in contact with a customer. The APM (Automated Postal Machine) may look intimidating at first, but the machine actually walks you through the process. And you can also pay by credit card. I mailed out a letter via Priority Mail without postal human contact, which I find pretty awesome. read more

Historic Flushing Main Street Post Office. Officially known as the Benjamin S. Rosenthal Post Office building. It was designed and built between 1932 and 1934 by architects James Baum and William W. Knowles. Their joint venture resulted in this Majestic achievement of its time. In the thirties, this towering structure was considered to be one of the marvels of Main Street if not modern architecture. This grandiose, palace like building is constructed in the colonial revival style of architecture. This two-story steel frame is symmetrical in Mass and clad in hand formed red brick. The front entrance of this library, features a grand Portico supported by 6 cement pillars. The interior of This Flushing P.O. is lavishly decorated with beautiful hand-painted murals constructed by Italian-American muralist, Vincent Aderente.(1880-1941). Vincent was a resident of Bayside Queens who worked on the murals in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, St Matthew's Cathedral and the Queens County Courthouse among other projects. He is most famously known for his Renditions of Colombia charging forward with a billowing American flag, sword on her side. This Grandly pillared Flushing Post office is duplicated in design throughout Queens in 6 other area postal buildings. They stand as wonderful examples of yesteryears architectures. This Flushing Post Office also serves as the main hub for passport distribution in the area. Flushing is a Melting Pot of societies, cultures and ethnicities from the world over. Therefore, passports are so very important to the multi-national inhabitants of Flushing. The procedure to receive passports here is long, complicated and involved. I myself have braved this arduous 4-Hour Expedition. Complete with masses of unorganized lines of people speaking languages from the world over. Screaming children and stoic unfriendly employees. I heartily recommend that you do not come to this post office for your passport needs there are so many other quiet postal venues out east on Long Island. The passport guy, literally play golf on his office carpet, and prays for clients. Go to these postal Outlets instead. I have noticed that the arrangement of the line for the postal Windows has changed for the better. You can take care of all of your postal needs here, certain times of the day are very crowded and the line moves quite slowly as the needs of multilingual patrons cannot always be addressed quickly. My needs here are always seen to promptly, as I usually come at a quiet time of the day In summation, I personally love this beautiful lavish Grand old post office. As I look up at the painstakingly hand painted murals, I think of the folks that came here decades before. Who also shared my admirations. Will this post office be here in another 80 years? Will there still be mail as we know it? Only the future will see. JIM D. read more

See all

First off, let me say I am an avid user of the Automated Postal Center. And when I say I am an avid user, I am a VERY devoted user, preach it! Most of the time when I go there, there's this woman who is always revolving around me and watching me, making sure I don't cheat off the system by choosing a smaller package to make it cheaper. Really, woman? And if you're going to try to use wry humor to lecture me in a 'nice' way, please don't make yourself sound like a phony. Either tell me straight up or don't. That's the worst part about going to this specific location. The good part about this location is it's large, vintagey look and of course, the Automated Postal Center. Everything except that manipulative woman. "Make sure you choose parcel because I don't want to have to send it back!". How about I send your ass back to the mail room? read more
