If you only need Priority Mail and have a credit card, use the machine. Its open during the evening after the inside cashier is closed. Easy Peasy. No waiting during high COVID rate in Manatee County Christmas 2020. Plenty of supplies on the evening I visited.

The staff has steadily been kind and helpful, for years. From Renee to Peter to Tina and Chris. You get to know them by name when you look them in the eyes and talk to them like human beings. It gets busy sometimes; sometimes that flusters some of the employees and causes anxiety—especially when the customers in line audibly and visibly show their frustration that others are doing the same thing they are, and equally have lives that intersect with their own. The bad reviews on here (or any other post office for that matter) seem to from over-privileged (mention how worldly you are much, bud?) and impatient people who use the post office seldom, then complain about it like it’s been their cross to die on since birth. Lost mail happens sometimes—they do what they can to fix it. Lines happen in densely populated suburbs often. A growing number of people visit the post office for their work and income every day. The counter is not your work space. Be more prepared when you arrive and the post office won’t be a problem for you. No I don’t work for this or any post office.

What a wonderful staff! Lots of grumpy customers surrounded me today and your two stellar employees running the front were (as always) very efficient and kind! Many thanks to them and all of your hard working staff! God bless and happy Thanksgiving!

Wish I could leave zero stars for this usps postal employee,,,She made me move over to an unused opening while she waited on everyone else and apologized to them though they had only been waiting 2 min,,,I sat there while she waited on 4-5 customers as she gleefully ignored me though I had a pressing problem that I explained to her and she decided to ignore,,,Female ,,,mid 30s-40s black curly hair,,,I will never understand the underlying lack of customer service and haughty attitude,,,Very distressing and stressful..No heart,,,no soul!!

Problem with getting mail sent to a forwarding address. Sent in a request to have our mail forwarded to a temporary address in CT however, still being delivered to the old address in FL. Received conformation of change but not receiving our mail, Also, when you call this location no one answers the phone!!!!

Tina was the best person ever working in usps i will send again from this place, usps have a wonderful worker, she helped us with everything we needed thanks.

Just wanted to know when last mail went out. No listing and no way to talk to anyone

Great people with fast and friendly service!

Very efficient.. always a pleasant greeting!

I drop off a LOT of packages at this location daily- they do a great job of keeping their package acceptance bin clear and have never lost one! In addition, Renee and Tina have always gone above and beyond to provide excellent customer service, even at the most difficult times. Hats off to these two special ladies and the rest of the crew, you are appreciated more than you know!

The postal crew works hard at being kind and polite in every way! Its a very nice experience to go here, I appreciate their hard work to make us happy

The post office at this location is fairly good and usually busy. The person responsible for delivering mail to my home address is, however, as incompetent as Ive ever seen. She is constantly putting mail in the wrong boxes and is often heard cursing aloud to someone on her phone.

Easy place to send mail. Ive mailed plenty of packages through here and had no problems. The desk people are always helpful and manage to get my packages to where its supposed to go. Only problem is during the day there are typically long lines to mail packages because they dont have enough employees upfront. However if you know how to read the kiosk for your basic packages you should be fine.

Absolutely worst post office ever. They do not help you at all and have a horrible attitude. The teller made me hold a 60 pound box rather than set it on the counter. Weighed the box and gave a price for it to be mailed and then changed the price to $50 more after the paperwork was filled out. I’ve never experienced an employee yelling at a customer before. It’s worth paying more to send mail by Fedex and UPS.

Today, the POSTAL TELLER (at the first window on my left) open 20 minutes early and gave me the box I came to pick up. He was cheerful and expedient and got my day off to a great start!

Horrific service and incompetence, after just 6 weeks they lost my third paycheck sent to my PO Box.Nearby Cortez post office managed to do the exact same, also within a short time.Both the Palma Sola and the Cortez post offices have me now searching for a reliable private carrier in the area.I have only mentioned the tip of the iceberg here and USPS do not seem to be able to bring these miscreants to heel.I am international, with 25 years in USA and twelve of those in nearby Sarasota county at five different addresses.Since moving to West and lately NW Bradenton its been like living in a third world country.Actually, despite 33 years also spent in third world countries, I have never experienced this.The worst post offices in living memory, right here in a first world country.The positive reviews here are suspect. Take the first three, which are the last here, do you see a pattern in them? One per year, each 5 stars and no narrative.

This post office can get very busy at times....but the employees are always super nice (Michelle Obama) and always working hard. I never experience any attitudes or grumpy employees...always smiling and always willing to help me with whatever I need.

Nice place to send mails. I learnd if I buy stamps at the vending machine, then it is cheaper.

Very busy store. The parking lot is scary because people dont pay attention and just whip in and out. Be cautious when parking and leaving. Otherwise the workers are quick and efficient.

Awful experience with this place. Extremely rude employees, especially “Mr. Martinez” as he would only refer to himself as. When asked to speak to his supervisor, after he no joke YELLED AT ME this disgraceful character then began yelling “I am the supervisor!!” over and over. The state we live in nowadays with government employees sucking off the teet of our taxes only to act in a truly childish way is repulsive. Repugnant is the only word for this man boy. I was only calling to see where my mail they lost was and this was the reaction. Disgusting to say the least. I often try and look at a situation like this from the other way. I run a business and imagine I treated my customers in the same way. Wouldn’t be in business long. The worst part is we’re paying for it. Please Usps, step up your game and train your employees better. I will be calling the actual supervisor to look into this further.

Bradenton post off is horrible this is the 3rd time this woman screws up my mail and sends it god knows ware they need to find people that can read the address on packages

Brandie and Geneva are right! The only reason they are friendly, Garry, is because they receive that steady government paycheck while messing up our mail. Youd be friendly too if you received a pay check for doing nothing.They need to fire all the employees at that post office especially Mike that works the front counter, but they wont because their management sucks too. They couldnt manage to forward mail from a residence address to their PO box even though all the proper forms were filled out! When this was told to management, they acted liked I was inconveniencing them and I received no apology or anything. If you want sub-par customer service and fake smiles while employees dont do their jobs and mess up your mail thats your choice. But, I recommend you save yourself the headache and stress by going to the Post Office on State Road 70. It might be a further drive for you but its well worth it. I never had an issue with any of my mail in the 6 years I went to the State Road 70 Post Office and customer service is stellar there.

Had to extend time for holding mail. One short phone call to a polite, congenial and efficient postal worker did the trick.

Only post office near Manatee Ave. Full service. Has stamp dispensing machine in lobby so no wait in line for stamps.

Super slow. No wonder the USPS looses billions of dollars every year.

Convenient and self kiosk is easy
