When this Post Office moved off of 4th street early this year, the new location allowed PO Box access even during lunch. Parking can still be a hassle in the busy location, but access is greatly improved and appreciated. Employees are friendly and helpful. Being closed on weekends became a hassle for me, so one star removed.

  • Erin Sulaiman

The service at this location is always excellent. Short wait times due to efficient staff and the staff is always courteous. I have been to many other USPS locations and have had a much less satisfying experience. If you need to go to USPS, I definitely recommend this location!

Eyakem is absolutely the best! I don't even live near the U of M campus anymore, but I will specifically make the drive to go to the Dinky Post Office because of how friendly, knowledgable, and efficient Eyakem is during the shipping process.

  • EASY28

Every time I run in here (Dinkytown) to handle a post errand, I’m rarely fully prepared. The gentleman at this location always always are so helpful. I don’t go to any other post office now. These guys are patient and always down to cut up

  • Erica Dubois

Nice staff, always very helpful! And for all complaining about the lunch hour that he is closed for... seriously??? In an 8 hour work day a postal clerk is supposed to have two 15 minute brakes and a half hour lunch. So you are mad because

  • Ghazwan Al-Kubaisi

Very unresponsive people, they say we did things but they never did them. I changed my address and it never went through so I had to do it online. I put a request for my mail key and it has been a month. I went 2 times to get and they are

  • Hayden Gullickson

Great location that’s in walking distance from my house! There is usually only one employee working and he’s both friendly and helpful. I would double check hours before you arrive, as there is an hour long break at this location (closed

  • Themi Megas

Only 1 clerk works here, but he's efficient and nice. I've witnessed him give advice to customers on how to get their shipping costs lower, and he even let me in a couple minutes after closing to drop a package off. He also always opens

  • Michael B

Bunch of morons writing reviews about the post office being closed during the clearly posted lunch hours. Go figure. For example, look at Sayuz's review. He went to the post office at 2PM in an attempt to avoid the clearly posted lunch

  • Muhammad Irfan Hamdii Bin Mohd Rizam (Irfan)

Last year, I had a great experience with the staff there but recently when I went there, there was a different staff and he was not that friendly. I had some questions about mailing a package and I came out of the post office even more

  • Kyle Grindberg

The people who work here are very nice, that is, when they're actually there working. I work at the University and I can't tell you how many times I've walked over to this post office only to find it inexplicably closed. They'll either

  • Blain T

Only thing is it's only posted physically that it is closed 2-3 daily for lunch. This fine but it's not posted that way online. Had to take a walk around the area when I showed up before 3. Not the end of the world

  • Olivia H

I love this location! Post office is small, but has everything you need. Eyakem is great--he's always working when I come in, and he's super friendly, professional, and great at his job.

  • Brigitte Worde

There is either a line or no line. Don't bother if there is a line only one employee working at the desk and he doesn't seem to enjoy his job very much causing service to be really slow.

  • Morgan Gasser University of Minnesota

This location does not scan the tracking code at all. I have left packages indoors and also in the drop box, none of them have been scanned even after asking the employee if it will be.

  • Micah Amundsen

Kinda hard to find from Google Maps (take a right from Target) but not as bad as the online reviews make it out to be. Just kinda small and the guy working there isn't very personable.

  • Sayuz Thapa

I went to this post office at 2, trying to avoid the daily "lunch break," however, as I got there, the door was still locked. This is a poor example of what a post office should be.

  • Emily M

Eyakem was very helpful! I came in having no idea how I wanted to ship my item! He gave me many options at varying prices. He was very friendly!

  • V. Faith

Eyakem is one of the kindest people I have ever met and his customer service is just an extension of his kind spirit. I love this location!!

  • Samuel Reed

Completely closed on Saturdays and only has an outdoor mailbox that is only big enough for letters (even very small packages will not fit)

  • Allen Clark

Convenient location for dinkytown residents. Like any good government office, they close down for an hour from noon-1pm for a lunch break.

  • Bryce Li

Hours online said it's open on Saturday when it was not on 2/6/16. Other reviews said the place is terrible and I confirmed that today.

  • Gary Deason

A very convenient location for many people including students. I've used it repeatedly and I have always received helpful service.

  • Sean James

It’s a small post office location. The man behind the counter seems to be a longtime employee here and he does a great job.

  • Maya Steele

Nice people, and convenient mailbox location. Employee was helpful when I was shipping a heavy and large package.

  • Ahmed Thabet

I had the honor of working with the man, the myth, the LEGEND Brucie Henrichy. Thank you Brucie for everything!

  • Moe Bravo

The gentleman that works at this location was very helpful and communicated my options clearly. Thanks for help

  • Timothy Gager

Can’t understand you. You say Carrier does not recognize word. 20 Minutes on call Repeated same word WORST

  • Stanley Sigalov

Super accessible and very friendly. Same guy is always at the counter and is always 100% helpful.

  • PuiYii Goh

Special shout-out to Eyakem! He was really speedy and helpful about my postal service choices!

ON BREAK FROM 1:45 TO 3:00 PM According to the sign on the door.

Usually a long wait and have some unusually grumpy workers.
