The Greenpoint post office (66 Meserole Ave.) is currently operating on a reduced schedule due to a staffing shortage as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
A note taped to the front door of the post office on Wednesday states that the location will close early 3 p.m. everyday; the post office is normally open Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Other temporary rules at the Greenpoint post office to note: only essential items should be mailed; self service kiosks are out of order until Friday; payment should be made by debit or credit card; “no certified slips or international mail.”
Last month, employees at the Metropolitan Post Office in Williamsburg refused to enter the building after a supervisor tested positive for coronavirus.
The kiosk hasn’t worked in weeks and they open at more like 10 and usually are closed by 1:30. Good luck going after that…it’s hit or miss..usually miss.
