theres a post office a city block away from my apartment... so WHY do i have to drive all the way down here til im practically in atwater village to pick up a package? and how am i suppose to park my car when there are only, like, 5 spots available to everyone in this area?
aside from the seemingly bad zoning and layout planning, its in a horrible location for its size.
all of glendale apparently dont own stamps. i didnt either the day that i visited to grab a package they "attempted to deliver" a few times. so there i am, in line waiting for the only two available clerks to solve all the problems of mankind by standing behind the counter shuffling papers at this tiny post office. somebody smells. someone is talking too loud on their phone. gawd, whos listening to that horrible music?
uuugghhh im just dying waiting here because its so hot and the line is so long. but when i get up to the counter the lady is a lot nicer than i thought she would be. im out of there in 2 mins with my stupid stamps.
the post office closes at 5pm, which it very inconvenient for 9 to 5ers... which is probably why i was standing in that ridiculous line at 445 with everyone else thinking "this is so inconvenient" as well. hmpf.
I am happy to report that since my last review, the postal carrier has improved his attitude. He even give me an occasional smile and, "Have a nice day".
Sadly, the service is still inconsistent. A couple months ago, I didn't get mail for almost a week. I knew that it simply wasn't possible that I didn't get a bill, or even junk mail for that long. So, I called the post office - still as unprofessional as ever. The guy told me to call the next morning to speak to my postal carrier because he has no idea what was going on.
Anyway, I called my postal carrier as advised. I told him I haven't gotten my mail in a week. He said, "Yes, you have a vacation hold." I said, "No, I don't". He said, "Yes, I have it here that you do." I said, "Well, I don't." Thing is, I did have a vacation hold - 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS! He delivered that same day and I had a huge stack of mail to go through.
Another thing is that I get other people's mail in my box somewhat frequently. No big deal - I simply deliver to those people myself. I live in a large complex and I try to be understanding that mistakes happen. What worries me is that if I am getting other people's mail, other people are getting my mail - except they aren't giving it to me like I do for them.

no automatic postal machine for packages. as such, lining up becomes necessary for anything you might want to do here.
nice staff.
apparently the obesity epidemic has reached the mailboxes...
I went there to send a priority mail.
Line was a little long that time (about 4:30pm), but it moved pretty quickly.
Just don't understand why can't they have more parking spots. The whole intersection was basically jammed because of that.
