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.

Koreans aren’t a race, they are a culture. And different cultures value different things. If you want efficiency in customer service, go to a korean deli.
Pratt Station post office on Myrtle and Grand is garbage too. USPS is a joke in NYC.
hahaha that asian lady is the worst
Atrocious. I was there last week. Stamp machine out of order as usual. Place is filthy and decrepit. Only ONE person working the counter when I was there, with a line to the door. (The other woman took a “break” apparently–i was told she was ‘still working’ but she never reappeared.) Post office employees seem to move in slow motion. Window where you’re supposed to be able to retrieve packages was also closed. Same with passport window.
every thread today as written by gabby.
is brownstoner back to work on wall street?
the Asian lady behind the glass was the rude one so replacing them with a specific race may not necessarily change anything.
I must say it has gotten better, if you can imagine. The lines use to be longer and the customer service use to be worse. I get faster service and people are much more helpful. The manager appears on the floor when it gets too busy to help out. I think there should be someone on the floor at all times and continue to improve as they have been doing. That is my experience.
I have yet to encounter a well-run post office in the NYC area. Most of the employees are fat, lazy, and rude. Typical “I get paid either way” attitude of union members. Whenever I need to mail a package, I use UPS or FedEx. I order stamps via mail and pay bills online. The less that I have to deal with these idiots, the easier my life is.
I agree with 10:25. A new P.O. won’t bring better service. Look at the renovated G.P.O. on Cadman. A joke.
