“I went specifically here due to reviews after being told my save the dates for my wedding were too thick with a wax seal to mail by other post offices. I was so close to having to open every single envelope and do it all over again. Until I went here! The clerk Danielle was so helpful! She made sure I had the right stamp that way it will be hand cancelled and won’t be an issue when mailing. She was so polite and even ran to make sure my postage made it on the truck for the day! I can’t thank her enough! She saved me HOURS of my time and HOURS of my hard work! I will definitely be coming back to Oakdale post office to send out my wedding invites! :)”
“This is my hometown. This is the eagle as we call it. Flaps its wings on the hour. It hasn't worked and I don't even know how long like 40 years? I can't remember the last time it flapped I think it was in the '80s sometimes and it wouldn't even flap on the right time at all or even consistently during the day night or whatever.
So they just fixed it. It's all beautiful and I wanted to go down and take some pictures of it and just be in that space again.
It's such a beautiful post office. Probably one of the nicest ones on the island for sure. Especially with its unique eagle.
You did such a good job restoring it It is absolutely gorgeous. I didn't even see it in the best of light but it is magnificent.
I love my hometown and I love this post office and the center itself. There's something just Norman Rockwell magical about it. Americana stuck in time as it captured in a painting by the man himself.”
“I always ship my packages from this location. I have never had a problem. Great staff and Great service. Sometimes there is a line but, it goes quickly. There are plenty of parking spaces in the lot.”
“The gentleman who works here saved me from my own carelessness more than once. Besides that everything is as timely as the system and volume of customers will permit.”
“I love the convenience and location of this post office. You can easily find parking and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. There are off peak times, when I have been in and out for a few minutes. I’ve gone in and done returns and they even scan QR code so they’re pretty high-tech. Highly recommend this location.”
“Postal workers here have always been polite and helpful; however, Jesse deserves special mention:
We were expecting a shipment of live chicks. Tracking the shipment, we discovered that it had been delayed at Jamaica and was scheduled to be delivered the following day instead -- Obviously not great for live baby birds.
Jesse helped investigate -- and when they arrived later in the day, he drove them over to our house personally to deliver them!
(FYI, for those who don't raise chickens and wonder how they can survive the trip: Before they hatch, chickens absorb the remains of the yolk inside the egg and use it for nutrition/hydration over the first two or three days. A heat pack is added to the box to help them stay warm, and obviously there is special care in handling and delivery.)”
“I left many packages at post offices in different districts, the whole team working here is very solutional and friendly. I don't know English very well and despite this, they solve all my needs and problems. I don't write that sharing names is prohibited, but I thank the entire team individually. I got help translating. I hope everything I wrote is understood.”
“I have to say, these two women today were so wonderful! I was stressed about sending back a wedding gift for my fiancé and I didn’t have the right packaging. They took care of everything for me, taped everything up and put the label on for me- made it stress free for me! I can’t thank them enough!”
“This post office has a great staff and one of the nicest and most helpful postmasters that I have met in all my years -- keep up the good work!!! I recommend this place to all my friends and neighbors.”
“My first visit here was a good one, and when I have a good experience I like to let others know. Especially when most visits to USPS locations are usually not the most pleasant. Not this day at this location though! So let's celebrate, I was in and out in a couple minutes. The lonely gentlemen behind the counter just received a huge order from the customer before but it didn't take long at all(a minute most) and he was helping me with my few pieces of mail and off I went. Very nice...I hope you have a similar experience!”
“Since the previous postal clerk left (retired) there has been a big change in this post office. The postal clerk there does not have an attitude and is always willing to help”
“I am beyond grateful for the outstanding service I received today. I was trying to send a package and I was struggling with getting the package ready and trying to care for my two little ones. It was becoming impossible. Just when I was about to give up and try a different day the women who were working saw me struggling and helped me right away. There were two women who came around the counter and brought out toys for my little ones , I believe their names were Careen and Jeanette. Jeanette helped entertain my little ones while another women named Hani got my package already to ship. There are no words to describe how incredibly thankful I am for the love that was shown today. They worked together as a team to lend a helping out to me. I will forever be grateful.”
“Impeccable service, professionalism knowledgeable. This staff goes above and beyond they treated me so kind. They were so helpful so on point with everything that needed to be done for me the way they treat their customers. The people in their community is just amazing. They were so caring to my needs. They helped me figure everything out and got me all set and I can’t say thank you enough to Brianna and the other ladies that helped us I want to say thank you so much for helping me today and going above and beyond as they did I appreciate them so much, you just don’t get service like that anymore. They are the real deal there. And once again, I really want to thank Brianna for helping me get through this and figure everything out for me and just making my day better. She puts a smile on everyone’s face.”
“One of my packages had gone missing, and I stopped by just four minutes before closing, fully expecting to be turned away! Instead, the manager went above and beyond. She took the time to open whatever she needed to and made sure I got the answers I was looking for. She was kind, professional, and incredibly determined to help. Thanks to her efforts, she was able to track down where the package was. It was then delivered to my house the next business day! It's not often you see that level of care and follow-through. Huge thank you to the manager and the team for turning a frustrating situation into a great customer service experience!”
“I'm constantly reminded that I should always come here any and every time I go to the Smithtown location.Never once have I had one single issue here in fact the service here is always very respectful and they go out of their way to be helpful and friendly. If you go to Smithtown you will most likely be greeted with the exact opposite service. Do yourself a favor, don't go to Smithtown.”
“I had the best customer service ever here. I went to see if a package of mine had been delivered there for pickup yet, and Fred
assisted me. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He was unable to locate the package and I was about to leave. But as I was pulling out, he actually ran outside to let me know it was just coming off of a mail truck they were unloading. He went above and beyond to make sure I was being helped and felt satisfied here. Fred deserves a huge raise!!”
“Had a fantastic experience getting my passport today. The staff were so attentive and efficient. Both the service clerk and passport clerk were very nice and were timely.”
“Great people at this location! Very quick, professional, accurate & friendly. I've been coming to this location for 20+ years and have never had an issue.”
“Personally, I love this post office. The two women who work at the front are always so helpful, even after I ask them the same questions about postage over and over again lol.”
“They helped me even when it was technically closing time. The lady behind the counter was great and quick. I will say they lock the door behind you if it's the actual time they close but as long as you make inside they will help you before they close.”
“Thank you for all your help . I just moved to NY and have to self quarantine. You in the office and my carrier have gone out of your way to make this transition easier. Without a doubt you are the best I have dealt with. Thanks, Cindy”
“I do a lot of shipping here, there almost weekly, and yes sometimes the wait is longer but I’ve experienced that at many different post offices- this location is different because they work very fast to make all transactions as easy and efficient as possible- I’ve seen the staff help people out and giving customers information to make their shipping cheaper- very patient and knowledgeable, this is my number one spot for my mailing needs- I’m being totally honest, they really are great here-”
“As someone unfamiliar with the shipping process, I encountered a very nice staff member here. He clearly explained what I needed to do, making the entire process quick and comfortable. Additionally, the location is easily accessible and parking is convenient.”
