That's 2 hours later than the post office in Miami Beach near my home. The day I went they were slow, but then got busy from no where which is understandable. They absolutely offer the best rates domestically or internationally; UPS and FedEx can't compare. Be sure to send your International packages "First Class" instead of "Priority" and you'll save 50% of the cost but also, be sure to fill in a customs form for First Class if you're sending a package outside the US. (Priority has their own custom's form) My experience was excellent and every attendant was super super friendly and apologized for the long wait to every customer as they walked up!

There has consistently been a line out the door due to workers continuously going to the back with (likely) no purpose considering multiple workers keep asking where the others went and why they are gone so long. I have been here around an hour between getting a box, trying to find a pen(there is none, I gave up) and now in line with 10 people in front of me and, again, NO workers to be found.

Whenever I have gone inside to drop off PREPAID packages to the counter, I always get dirty looks from the people who have been standing in line for a long time. It looks like I'm trying to crowd ahead of others. It gives me the creeps. Unfortunately, there is no designated spot to drop your package off except to immediately go left to the counter after you enter. Once the postal lady finally looks at you, you loudly have to say "Prepaid," and she points to the counter without saying a word. Then carefully go around the angry people in line and get the heck out of there. If you go to the USPS website, they urge you to USE their prepaid service because it is quicker and easier, with no standing in long lines! But when you get to any post office, there are NO SIGNS where to place your package. This is a problem at every post office that I have tried. The counter area is usually a non-supervised place. I don't want my packages to be stolen or lost or forgotten. Then you have a whole set of new problems. I definitely do not enjoy going to a post office to mail anything. I won't even mention the attitudes of some of the employees.

The Biscayne Historical Marker was sponsored by Eastern Airlines in cooperation with the Historical Association of South Florida. Eastern Airlines was dissolved in 1991 so this marker has been here quite awhile. You can find the marker next to Biscayne Bay in Miami Shores Village Bayfront Park. I have learned so much about Florida history from markers all over the state. The Biscayne marker recounts how Biscayne became Miami Shores. In the early 1870's William H. Gleason and William H. Hunt founded the community of Biscayne. They established the Biscayne Post Office and Biscayne became the county seat and the meeting place of the county commission. Other early Biscayne settlers included Ephraim T. Sturtevant, Andrew Price, Edward Barnott and Dr. Richard B. Potter. Mother of Miami, Julia Tuttle was a frequent visitor. By 1888 the post office had closed and many residents left the area. The area saw a boom in 1892 when the first county road, from Lantana to Lemon City traversed through Biscayne reopening the post office and adding a school and railroad depot. Miami Shores was incorporated on January 2, 1932 and now what was once known as Biscayne is Miami Shores.

If you call their telephone number (305) 687-2484, it continuously rings/rings and shortly, goes into a busy signal.

If you go early enough you usually won't have a huge wait. However there's usually only one person sometimes two to help. I've had one or two ladies that were helpful but there's one person no matter the time of day, no matter how nice and the biggest smile you can put on, she's just rude. And because you need her for your mailing needs you just have to put up with it. I'm the kind of person who likes the challenge of making someone smile even if they've been having a tough day.

I was looking for something in the address that was missing and instead of helping, she continued to answer in a big way. Finally, when I said, please call the manager, she told me: You're crazy! This is not my usual experience at this office, nor in Aventura, where everyone is nice, polite, and kind-hearted. We live in a very difficult and violent world today, and I think that nice and pleasant service can help get through the day, and a girl like that should not serve the public.

In 2017 the old Historic Buena Vista Post Office building in Miami's Design District sold for $8.1M The historic Buena Vista Post Office building in Miami's Design District just sold for $8.125 million, marking a near-record price per square foot in the redeveloping neighbourhood. The 2,287-square foot building at 4000 Northeast Second Avenue, which was the former site of the Billionaire clothing store, sold for $3,553 per square foot to a New York-based investment group that represents foreign investors, Chariff Realty Group President Lyle Chariff told TRD. The buyers are part of the same group that purchased Power Studios in the Design District from Chariff and his partners in June 2015. Chariff and Steve Budin, CEO of Sportsinfo.com, were the sellers. Chariff said he had a 10 percent stake. They purchased the building for $479,000 in July 2003, meaning it sold for nearly 16 times its purchase price in just under 14 years. Built in 1921 by Buena Vista's original developer David P. Davis as a post office, the neoclassical building sits on a 3,375-square-foot lot.

Located south of Little Haiti…read moreand north of the Miami Design District, in the 1890's it was a small village, with the homesteads of cracker immigrants William Gleason and E.L. White from Georgia and North Carolina. Along with Lemon City and Little River, Upper Buena Vista is one of the oldest settlements in Miami. Many of the homes here date to Florida's land bloom years of the 1920's when the first subdivisions were built. Tampa developer and architect David P. Davis partnered with pineapple plantation owner Theodore V. Moore to develop two investment properties in Buena Vista. Davis designed both buildings but he only paid for one while Moore paid for the other. Designed in a masonry vernacular style, Davis' building became the Buena Vista Post Office with neoclassical design elements. Moore's building was built in an L shape around the post office. The south portion of the building was completed in 1922 and the north portion was completed in 1926. Moore gave up his pineapple plantation for commercial development. In the 1930s, he opened the T.V. Moore Furniture Store in his building and both the Buena Vista Post Office and Moore Furniture Building anchored the growing neighborhood. On August 4, 1924, the new town of Buena Vista was incorporated only to be annexed by the City of Miami the next year. At that time the post office ceased operation. The building as since served a variety of purposes through the years including a city hall, municipal courthouse, tire store, insurance office, restaurant, and clothing store. In 2017, the building sold for 8 million dollars. There is a sign on the building that lets you know that this summer it is going to be the luxury Swiss watch maker, Patek Philippe. The Moore building is now an event venue. There is a historic marker detailing the history of the buildings in front of the post office.
