“Post Office Tour stop #336 was the East Chattanooga Station. It was a nice clean office were the people were nice and very helpful. This building was dedicated to service in 1998 however could not find out much more than that for this office. However, I did find out that Stations were established not only to keep pace with cities' population growth but also when formerly independent Post Offices were discontinued and converted to stations of a larger nearby Post Office. Sometimes this was done
to provide free mail delivery to customers, since initially residents of only the most populous cities were eligible for free delivery.”
“Excellent service and short wait! I was happy to find that they had all the mailers and packaging I needed to send out a gift that I couldn’t quite get packaged myself. It was only $10 to mail out and the bubble mailer was less than $3, so quite the bargain compared to UPS and FedEx’s pricing. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes and my package should be getting to my friend in about three days time.”
“This is the most friendly and nice usps location in whole Chattanooga! And all because of nicest man who work there behind the counter! I hope his bosses will give him promotion because he deserve it!”
“I lost my wallet, with my passport in it, less than a week before I was due to travel overseas. I was a panicked mess. Michael found my wallet, tracked me down, and got it mailed back to me as fast as possible. Such a kind person, I can't thank him enough!!”
“They are typically not too busy. When there has been a line they are as quick as they can be but still get you everything you need. They have put up dividers for Covid-19 protection and have the standard spots marked on the floor for social distancing. Easy in and out access to the parking lot and ample parking.”
“PO stop #335 was the Highland Park Station of Chattanooga TN. Highland Park was a small town about 2 miles from downtown. It was annexed into Chattanooga in 1929. Could find no cornerstone or marker to say when this building was built. It was very clean and in good shape. I sure the people here work very hard but like all of us are never given the time or extra help to get it all done.”
“Kind people who work here diligently despite the high volume of customers they receive. They greet with a smile and serve well, doing quite the hard job! I enjoy dropping off my mail here.Main caveat would be delivery can be fickle at our apartments. Totally understandable with how tough a job the carriers have with meeting time deadlines and whatnot, so I don't fault them too much since they try their best. Would love for more consistency as some packages have gone missing when they're misplaced.Otherwise no complaints. Great people, especially the incredible service inside.”
“PO tour #337 stop by Hixson PO which is a nice and clean Post Office that the people work hard and as usual or short staff and just trying to keep up. While reading about this office it was interesting to read about the past and learn it was initially slated to be merged into the Chattanooga Post Office, but community efforts secured the preservation of the Hixson ZIP code (37343) and mailing address, which is still used today. Keep up the good work some of us know that if the PO ever goes private there will be no end to how much shipping will go up.”
“I got to say the manager that I spoke to that helped me got my package. I can tell that they have a lot of patience and kindness and I've witnessed them handle a situation greatly. I'd say they're doing a really good job and they don't get enough credit for it Thank you Creg I'm not sure what your name was again but I give my thanks to the manager.”
“These girls are the best! Having been coming here several times a week for years now and any problems I have ever had are taken care of quickly and efficiently! Love the girls! Lanney, Deb and Gail are the best!”
