    (Serviced/Shopped 04/08/2025 TU @ 12:00pm): I might be united in saying that my state of being was…read moredrained at this post office! In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes and businesses throughout Jersey City and specifically the Heights, my latest exploration was at the United States Post Office Jersey City's location. Generally speaking, I was a fan of the United States postal service; however, I felt the system and its offices were completely outdated and not in-tune with the times. Furthermore, to paraphrase a hilarious "Seinfeld" episode, "No one really needs the postal service because you could do everything electronically now...!" Very true. For my first visit to this office of the U.S. postal service, was I able to get what I needed to be done!? PURCHASE 1st-Class Mail Weighted Mail ($2.59): I needed to send out a packet that contained several pieces of mail to a former tenant. I crammed them all into an envelope and was surprised by the reasonably-low price - sweet! 20pc Buttons/Pins Forever Stamps Sheet ($14.60): If you knew me, I loved collecting stamps (a philatelist!), so whenever I needed to drop off something at a post office, I always had to check what the latest available stamps were. I wasn't as avid as I was years ago when I followed the arrival dates of collectible editions and the like. Now, I was pretty much a casual collector. On this particular date, they had these cool button/pins edition with cheery happy messages - yes! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=48&select=SyihBLb_3bLxPaNfjZul0Q SERVICE A spirited older woman behind a thick Plexiglass counter window called me over as I was the only customer at the time, weighted my package, slapped a postage sticker on it, showed me a selection of stamps they currently had, I paid, and off I went; easy-peasy - 'nuff said! PARKING (Unknown; N/A this instance) This was an easy flat 10-minute walk from my friend's place. Otherwise, the only option was the plenty of spots along the main drag of Central Ave. and all surrounding roads - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A small narrow space that funneled you inward towards the counter windows, there were P.O. Boxes along the side walls, a couple of mail drop-off boxes, a center writing table, and minimal postings on the walls. To be frank, this was kind of a depressing location. Decent amount of natural lighting came through the front windows and doors while soul-sucking fluorescent bright electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There weren't any TVs nor background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Jersey City's United States Post Office location served my basic needs and would consider them again. However, the overall dungeonesque aesthetics needed a lot of help; there simply weren't any positive vibes, and I couldn't wait to get back outside. Having said that, it appeared they offered all of the main amenities as other post offices I've been to and the service was no-nonsense straightforward, but this was the most dreadful of all locations I've been to. I found good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experiences was around $17.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 3.0 STARS

    Sometimes, there can be an insane weight at USPS. I've been to this location at all different times…read moreof day, and I've never really had to wait more than 5 to 10 minutes. At my most recent visit, the staff were very, very nice. They went around and asked if anyone needed help. They visited people in line to make sure they were bringing up the right things for what they needed. And the lady working at the cashier was very pleasant. This is more than I could ask for from my typical visit.

    US Post Office - Every single days, always a line, only 1 person working and taking sweet time.

She is the mail, sort, manager, worker, boss, cleaning lady. Why do they only have one worker for a whole usps location is still amaze me? Cost cutting? If they can hire another person this usps might not get bad review. I was lucky to come in early morning where there is not a lot of customer and I'm a shipping pro by now so I packed all my stuff at home. I would give this place 5 star but for now they still have room to grow. Hopefully this location can get another worker.

    I am a senior citizen living in Jersey City since 1987, I hardly use post office services,…read moreyesterday I have to sent an envelope to Ohio so I check the west side post office information on website Around 11:55 am I was there after walking in cold weather, the door was locked and there was a sign that it's closed for lunch till 1:30 ( that's over one and half hour) inside there was a costumer finishing off his mail, when he exited I entered The woman worker started yelling at me for doing this, I requested to accept my letter and just confirm that my postage stamps are accurate She said we are closed for lunch, I again requested that it's only a second to do this and walked a mile to get here it's very cold and for me to wait another one and half hour is painful She refused and yelling and threatened to lock me inside during their lunch hour I was shaken by their behavior went to UPS and decided not to go their again I again check USPS website there was no lunch hours mentioned plus I checked the reviews and they have 2 star service and many horrible stories like mine, Is there any one in USPS check these complaints? Or do any things to prevent such arrogant behavior? There has to be some accountability What can be done to improve their performance?

However, the worker, Penny/Jenny, was very kind, respectful, and helpful. She apologized for the long wait and communicated with us throughout the process. She appeared to be the only one working, but she still handled everything with patience and professionalism. Overall, I had a pleasant experience because of her kindness and great customer service.

During my visit on a Saturday afternoon, my wait was 45 minutes. Which was fine, had plenty to occupy my time. Despite paying higher price's for shipping packages. My package which was going local to Queen's took over 2 weeks to arrive. If I am mailing off packages to the Southern part of the Country, it takes a week or so. The service left a lot to be desired, but that did not stop me from being thrilled to have my packages mailed out. The architecture of this majestic post office is on another level. The Corinthian colonnades, and the Imperial Coat of Arms of Prussia. This specific design is carved into a decorative, hexagonal ceiling panel, which is commonly found in historic government buildings, palaces, or university halls constructed during the Prussian era or German Empire.
