What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Reviews for the Poughkeepsie Post Office are mixed, with some customers praising excellent service and short wait times, while others report rude staff, long queues with limited windows open, and concerns about mail theft. The lack of multilingual staff and potential issues with package delivery are also noted. +2
"This could be the worse postal service in the town of Poughkeepsie. The staff members are rude, non compassionate or respectful to their customers. Their staff is not attuned to their customers needs or wants. They also don’t have anyone speaking any other language besides English. I observed several customers asking other customers in the line for assistance as the postal staff refused to help. Something has to change in this town as people like this working in the postal service makes this community worse than is already is.."

"Really poor service today with 15 -20 persons waiting in line with only 1 window open to assist customers at the Poughkeepsie main postal office.
There is no stamp machines or any managers or staff to assist elderly waiting for over 25mins."

"Same issue someone stole my mail and has been stealing mail in the neighborhood, my package was scanned out of GPS range and was marked delivered in lockbox my building is none. Until they catch the thief 1 star , thankfully amazon has honored my packages stolen with refunds or a new item sent out but the packages stole by usps thief I've yet to be refunded, I'm sure it must be someone with usps cuz the packages are never big or heavy and around the mail carrier time, I don't know for sure it could be someone maybe following as well but definitely make sure your delivery is insured or held at the post office. It's not necessarily their fault. And I've never really had any customer service issues with them. They've all been very nice and friendly with me. However, you know, there's still a thief on the loose and the process to trying to get A. Refund isa pain , And it's like you. You're out of date by the time. It's actually delivered, so it's like. Why is it 15 days from when it's shipped? And not when it arrives and it's did not arrive like so. Basically, your claim is not going to be accepted. And I'm still waiting for mine basically to be refused. So unfortunately, you're gonna be out of money. Just have your package held if you're getting it from a site that ensures it. That's better because the Post Office insurance isn't really good for anything if you can't really file a claim because it's only gonna count for the date was sent and not the date. It was received or arrived"
