The United States Postal Service location at 316 Market St is a limited service post office with historical decor styled to the 18th century. The outside is beautiful and well preserved. It functions as a solid place to deliver mail and buy stamps, and visitors can have postcards hand-stamped with a special Thomas Jefferson signature stamp canceller and postmarked from this location. However, it does not appear to function like a normal, full-service post office and may not have complete amenities. It has questionable hours and may not always have stamps available, requiring a visit elsewhere. Staff attitudes can vary, but positive interactions are possible. It is a nice place for visitors to mail postcards, but locals may need to look elsewhere for all postal needs.
Waited outside for 30 minutes this morning when they were supposed to be open to try to mail my wedding invitations. The door was locked and no one was inside. Had to give up and go home, along with several other people who were also waiting

I’ve only been able to mail something out of this location successfully once and then after that, it was always something. The door was locked, there’s a sign that they’re out for lunch, or that they’re no longer accepting packages. It looks like this has been going on for years. I wish I had reviews first before... read full comment

Always closed when it’s supposed to be open. Staff doesn’t help at all when/if it’s open!
