Misdelivered mail? Undelivered packages? Terrible long lines? Tell us about your experiences and help us replace Times Plaza with a real post office! So goes the language on the Boerum Hill Association‘s website about the Times Plaza Post Office on 3rd and Atlantic. The group is conducting a survey about the post office (which also serves parts of the North Slope) because, as the Brooklyn Eagle reported, they feel The facility was outgrown decades ago, but because USPS only rents the space, they cannot make the changes necessary to run it efficiently. Continued neighborhood growth, plus Atlantic Yards, will only make the situation worse. Gowanus Lounge has posted complaints about the post office on several occasions, and we’ve witnessed the crapola service at the facility firsthand more than once (including a memorable occasion last year when the surly staff made someone cry). Residents of the 11217 Zip code can vent here.

  1. 1:13, “services are not on par with what the real estate costs in Brooklyn”? So the more expensive the neighborhood, the better the postal services should be? How elitist! They should all suck (or not) equally.

  2. I live in 11217 and we get completely random mailed delivered. our mailman will just put any old mail in our slot, from streets miles away. does that happen to anyone else? I usually just put it back in a blue mailbox and hope that it finds its owner.

  3. I used to work near the PO in Chelsea on 18th between 7th and 8th Ave. Great old building with marble counters, and when I went there, well into the 90’s, no plexiglass between you and the teller. God, that was civilized!
