“I've been going to the State College Post Office multiple times a week for the past two years, and I genuinely do not understand the negative reviews. I've lived in several places, and this is by far one of the best post offices I've used.
The employees are consistently friendly, patient, and efficient. Even when there's a line, it's usually because they are helping patrons who are not prepared or need extra assistance. I have watched the employees handle some pretty incompetent people with an incredible amount of patience and professionalism while still keeping the line moving as quickly as possible. A lot of the complaints seem to be about policies that are not the employees' fault. For example, people get frustrated that they have to pack their own packages and use their own tape, but that is standard practice. It ensures you are responsible for what's in the box and prevents disputes about the contents later. Blaming the postal clerks for following USPS policies does not make much sense.
I really appreciate how hard they work, and every experience I have had has been positive. The staff deserves far more credit than they get!”
“Friendly, clean, fast, and easy. Compared to the downtown post office, I will go out of my way to come here. Staff are super friendly in a classic small town way.”

“This is my favorite USPS out of all the post offices I've been to throughout the state. Tracy is always kind and talkative while I'm dealing with my eBay stuff with my packages. I appreciate the patience and kindness that this post office provides. It makes work a lot easier for me. The only thing is, they need a sign!! It's so easy to drive past it and then you have to turn around. Pay attention, it's tucked in there a bit!”

“The staff are very nice (friendlier than the State College post office) but as others have said their hours are extremely limited. The office opens at 8:30, closes for lunch, and closes for the day at 4:30. On Saturday the hours are just 9 to 12. Getting your packages can be tough if you work during the day.”

“This post office is one of the better ones in the area, thank you. Just an FYI, they lock the building. You can't drop mail off for the next day or check po boxes.”

“Front desk person was helpful and understanding of my package issue. Although the person did send my inquiry to the downtown USPS location. Turns out the downtown office is the main building that does all of the package issues. So this place is purely to ship out mail.”

“Every staff member is awesome here. I always get the help I need and they're super conscientious about how to best get my package mailed. It makes me feel much better about shipping things and navigating the postal system. Sally was great today and took great care with my international package as well. Thank you!”
