Re the hours of the post office on 3rd street, be advised that the last 2 times I showed at right at the posted opening time in an effort to get in and out quick, the place was still closed and I mean the gate still down. So I went into the little coffee shop next door to ask if they knew what was up, the people there anticipated my question, told me it would probably " open soon ", so I got a cup of coffee and 15 minutes later it did in fact open up.
Close enough for government work, I suppose.

Looking forward to picking up my packages in Harlem!
Our post office is now no longer located in our zip code. So, theoretically, if you sent a letter to the postmaster of 10009 the zip code would be 10003. Are the po boxes still 10009? Has this one address been designated 10009 while the neighbors are 10003?
Ok, I know it doesn't matter, but these are the things that keep me from getting a good night's sleep.
If the new Post Office space is so small they cannot even handle packages, then they need to call it a Postal Boutique, or a Postal Popup Store, or maybe a Postal Cubicle.
I think EV left out one small item from the Tompkins Square office hours:

How much you wanna bet that all of us living in the 10009 will never, ever receive a piece of mail again?

And I thought having my mail delivered couldn't get worse! I've had two packages this week that were "transferred to local post office" on Tuesday and not delivered yet...Not looking forward to figuring out how to get my stuff. Sigh.
Packages from 10009 that need pick up will be at the Peter Stuyvesant branch on 14th Street... Tompkins Square does not handle deliveries, or packages... it is an accounting office... I spoke with them, and this is how I have this information... Madison Square handles the deliveries if you need to track a package, or reschedule a delivery... they will find out where your package is...
Peter Stuyvesant # - 212-228-8413
Madison Square # - 212-673-3771
This is information it just took me over an hour on phone calls trying to locate a package. so I thought I'd post it, since now I need a valium...

The Peter Stuyvesant Post Office winded down its stay at 432 E. 14th St. yesterday… today the branch is just open until 1 for people with P.O. Boxes… as we first reported yesterday, this location of the U.S.P.S has closed for good… with retail services taking place down the block at 333 E. 14th St. starting Monday.
One thing is for sure: No one really knows what's going on here…
Here's the scene yesterday around 5 (four hours after they ended business for the day) … where some customers had no idea that the branch was closing so soon…

Most important, what kind of bar/restaurant do you think will go in the post office's place?
February 22, 2014 at 11:21 PM
The new post office is 10009.
