“United States Postal Service — a place where time moves… on its own schedule.
You walk in thinking it’s a quick in-and-out, and suddenly you’re part of a whole tzibbur waiting situation. There’s always that one line that looks short but somehow takes longer than a full seder. You start off calm, and five minutes later you’re already checking how many people are ahead like it’s a cheshbon.
That said, once you get to the counter, things usually move along fine. The staff gets the job done — not rushing, not panicking — just steady. If you come prepared (package taped, label ready), you save yourself a whole extra sugya.
The self-service machines are a nice matanah when they’re working. When they are, you feel like you beat the system. When they’re not… you’re back in the oilam.
Pro tip: Come off-hours if you can. Otherwise, bring a little savlanus and maybe something to keep you occupied.
Bottom line:
Not the fastest stop in town, but reliable. You’ll get your package sent — just don’t plan it like a two-minute errand.”

“Angela the new post master went above and beyond when a package was received from a Boston post office. She called me right away to let me know it was my son's lost wallet. Then she had it sent directly to him. She has really cleaned up and organized the whole post office. Everything looks great. Gabby and Barbara are wonderful and so happy for Angela's leadership!”

“Yesterday, May 22, around 2:20pm, I stopped at the Lakehurst. NJ Post office to get some stamps. There was a line, behind me, two other gentleman. The Post Office worker was helping a woman who just lost someone in her family. The worker treated her with such dignity and kindness. And at the same time, she was helping another gentleman with an inquiry. He was quite anxious worried about those in line. The worker said, lets help you with youre concern first. Before we knew it she was through helping both the woman and the gentleman. I purchased my stamps. I received my receipt and i thought to myself that I will call the number or use my phone to scan it and give her a good review. Unfortunately I lost my receipt, so im giving her review here. Bless her for her patience and kindness.”

“Excellent service and great people.. Dalia goes above and beyond in serving the customers, thank you so much for always being helpful, kind and knowledgeable about your job..she’s the best!!!”
“Small Post Office but efficient. Have been here several dozen times and always have a good experience. Bernie is perhaps the friendliest, most helpful person one could hope to meet behind the counter in a Post Office. Don't hesitate to visit!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about this post office. First of all, they are always so kind and helpful anytime I come in and need assistance. Second, I am still sitting here in disbelief how above and beyond Kim went to get a hold of my package. I ordered something for my daughter for her graduation and unfortunately when I got the notification the package was delivered I could not find it anywhere. It wasn’t our regular mail person and these things happen. I drove over to the post office 30 minutes before closing on a Friday, and Kim couldn’t have been more helpful. Not only did she locate my package but she went and picked it up herself where it was accidentally delivered and then hand delivered it to me at my home. This is just above and beyond what anyone would ever do these days and I’m just so thankful to live in this town with such amazing, kind hearted postal workers. I know if I lived anywhere else my daughter wouldn’t have had her graduation gift on time. Kim, you are amazing and I can’t thank you enough for what you did! We love our Colts Neck Post Office! ❤️”
“This is a convenient and nice location to get your post office tasks completed. The folks I dealt with were polite & helpful. They have the supplies you need and even have nice seasonal packaging as well. I will definitely not avoid this post office when it comes time again to mail something that takes more than a simple stamp.”
“Went for a toddlers first passport with picture. They require you arrive 10-15 minutes early which I did, but got served 15 minutes late. Costumer service is kind and considerate, but for appointments for passport, expect delays.”
“I was pleasantly surprised how wonderful this post office was! I searched for it on Google, and so many negative reviews came up, i almost wasn't going to go there, but then I realized mamy of those reviews were very old! All of the negative reviews that are years old, should definitely be removed! This post office was clean, well stocked with supplies, and the employees were so friendly and helpful! John, the employee that helped me, was great! Checked a few different ways for me to send my package to get it there when needed and get me the best price! I don't use the post office very often, but when i do, I will be using this location from now on.”
“This particular location has been very helpful and informative about all things passports and postal. I come with questions and they have answers. Plus, my packages arrive on time and not damaged.”

“I love this post office. Tge people here know what they're doing and are so helpful. I tend to go at 9:30am and it's never been busy at that time. I had I ternational mail to send and they helped me figure out the customs forms. I'm so thankful for their help. I've had my mail held while I was away and everything was delivered properly once I returned home. FYI Informed delivery let's you know what mail to expect and report missing mail.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I decided to try this post office because of their high 4.5 Google rating—and it truly did not disappoint. The customer service is superb, and ALL THE STAFF were friendly, patient, and wonderful, which made the process smooth and pleasant.
I especially want to commend BERNIE, who was the one handling my international package. She was very knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely made sure that my package would reach the receiver safely. She even gave helpful advice to avoid any future shipping issues.
Even though I live a bit far, I’ll definitely keep coming back because of the amazing customer service. Highly recommend this place!”
