Lincoln Postal

I love this place. Dean is fantastic and always super helpful. He is also knowledgable and I always trust his recommendations. Yes things are marked up in this shop but you’re paying for convenience (at least I am — I live around the block), the efficiency, and the short wait times. I haven’t stepped into a post office in a very long time and don’t need to because of Lincoln postal. I love this neighborhood place and fully support it.

I’ve never had such a positive experience printing/​mailing anything before. I’ll definitely be back!

I LOVE Lincoln Postal! And Dean, who runs the shop is absolutely wonderful. He is very upbeat, friendly, and provides superior customer service. I really can’t say enough about this place. I really enjoy coming here.

While the guy that runs it is quite friendly and eager to assist you there’s a lack of transparency with pricing when it comes to additional things like boxes. Shipping an medium size packaged totaled $ 37 for standard shipping! While I understand paying extra for connivence this kind of pricing is borderline unethical. Also for the fact that I didn’t see the breakdown in pricing after he printed the receipt. $ 13 dollars for a w20xd3xh20 box!!! Plus a $ 1 labor fee for helping me put my own packing peanuts in the box!!! This is more of a disservice than service

This place just SERIOUSLY saved my butt. The guy who works here (owner?) is incredible. I came running in like twenty minutes before they closed and needed this huge thing printed and postmarked immediately.
He was efficient and helpful he knew exactly what to do. I needed brass fasteners which they didn’t have but they DID have folders with fasteners in them so he came up with the brilliant idea to cut them out and use those.
I just have so much love for this place right now. Fast computers. Great great great service. He didn’t rush me even though I was pushing it right up to closing.
He never once made me feel like I was wasting his time or that I was completely incompetent for not having anything together. This place for everything!

I’m only giving 4 stars because they don’t do passport photos. Besides that, it’s great! The gentleman who works there is as kind and helpful as can be. They have computers that you can print from and any and every type of mailing material you might need. I’m going to head to this place from now on! (and not Away We Go Postal which never has stamps and many other services they claim to offer).

Friendly, fast service, clarity of pricing, and a great atmosphere. This is where I’m going to come for all of my shipping needs. Guy who runs the place really seems to care about the business, the community, and the job he does.

Genuinely friendly and efficient staff, nicely kept store, great service. Really just sent a letter but had a surprisingly pleasant experience — motivating enough to go on Unilocal to endorse them. Would go back anytime.

Never been happier with a service experience. I had 12 wrapped packages to send to three different addresses for Christmas and no boxes to ship them in. Showed up to Lincoln Postal and could not have been happier with how I was taken care of. Helped me find the right size boxes for the different shipments, packed them for me, and then helped me ship each one the cheapest. 2 were cheaper via USPS. 1 was cheaper via FedEx. The whole process of telling them the 3 addresses and picking the right choices could not have been better. I felt great walking out of the store.
To everyone who keeps complaining on Unilocal about paying a $ 1 for dropping off their prepaid USPS packages — STOP complaining about convenience. Its a fee for service so that you don’t have to walk all the way to the post office. Why should this place do that for you for free? They are not making you come here.

As with most things in life, nothing’s perfect.
I was drawn by the overall high (and plentiful) ratings on Unilocal,so I walked farther than other closer options. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the store and the friendliness of the owner. I genuinely enjoyed our conversation – and I even thought, «If he’s single, maybe I could set him up with a friend!»
Maybe I got caught up in how nice everything was, but I forgot to really ask about what I was being charged. Looking at my receipt, I saw that I paid about $ 20 to ship a 4 lb 1.9 oz package USPS Priority Mail and $ 26 for two books of Forever Stamps. The stamps are what made me do a double take – they had been marked up $ 3 each. So, I also looked up how much my package would have cost if I had gone to the post office – about $ 9 less for 2-​day Priority Mail. So, it turns out there’s pretty high mark-​up in this store.
I think I would have been fine with that if things had been spelled out that you’re paying for the convenience – and exactly how much extra you’re paying for the convenience. Maybe this is something most NYers expect; I’m relatively new to the city. I do expect markup in bodegas, so maybe I should’ve made the connection. But the way things are set up, it rubs me as a little sneaky.
I went back to return my stamps, since I hadn’t used any and they were exactly as purchased. I could tell the owner was peeved about it. The way I saw it, he already got the mark-​up from my package (stupidity tax) and the return of stamps was more of a «let’s just try to make this even.» He said it would be a «more complicated customer service thing» and asked me to wait about 10 minutes while he helped «paying» customers. I pointed out that I, too, was a «paying» customer, but I stepped to the side and waited patiently because I understood that it was pretty busy. When I returned to the counter he was much nicer and gave me the $ 26 back for the stamps.
Overall, I’m on the fence if I would return because I think I’d rather be annoyed by the long lines at the post office than be charged so much more for shipping/​stamps/​etc. But you do get very good service – you just have to understand that you’re paying more for it.

I had an awful experience at this store. I found the mail to be not well organized, not timely and the customer service to be very rude. I had one particular experience in which when voicing my frustration of waiting for so long for help, an employee became rude and yelled at me in front of other customers. This is strictly my experience and doesn’t mean other people feel or felt the same, but I found it to be a huge mistake to do business there. I would definitely not recommend it and next time I would choose a mailbox store that seemed more timely, well organized and customer friendly.

I highly recommend this place it’s a breath of fresh air and everytime I go I feel welcome. I always leave satisfied. I highly recommend this place.

Great place, went here Saturday night to do some last minute printing, and it was definitely a hassle-​free, seamless experience, much thanks to the gentleman working that night, who was extremely helpful without being overbearing. Even more convenient is that this establishment was open until 8pm– clutch, especially with many printing service stores only being open until 5 or 6pm on the weekdays, I will be using this place for all my printing needs going forward.

They charge $ 1.00 for any UPS drop off. Seriously!!! So I went to UPS Park Slope on 7^th Ave and they take any drop off for FREE! Why do I have to pay for a drop off from Amazon when I am an Amazon Prime member! This store needs to reorganize its management!

Overpriced packaging and shipping. I am not sure how the place is rated this high maybe it beats waiting in line somewhere else I guess

Helpful. Quick. Easy. I had an excellent customer experience here. The employee who assisted me was cheerful and nice. He was eager to assist me when I had confusion/​issue.

The guys who work here are incredibly nice and helpful. When using the self-​serve copiers, they follow up with you to make sure you’re happy with the quality. I find it a bit annoying they charge $ 1 to drop prepaid USPS packages, but I guess it’s justifiable to avoid the post office.
Also: with computer usage, you pay for time, but if you don’t use all of it you can save it for the next visit. Very convenient if you just need to go in an print something on occasion.

Terrible service. Wavered to charge handling fee for prepaid package. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

Extremely rude phone service. Totally unbelievable. They said they are unable to print an emailed PDF — told me I have to come in, use a computer (charge is by the minute). Don’t know how they expect to compete with Kinkos or Staples where you can simply do it online with no fuss.
Crazy. If they had been professional on the phone it would be a different story — but to be so unaccommodating and also clipped is really galling.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICe.
Warm welcome. Stopped going to’ Away we go Postal ’ and so glad I had a bad experience with them so I could find this place through Unilocal.
It’s nice to be welcomed with a smile when spending so much $$$ at an establishment .
Good riddance to «away we go postal’
