In a historical building, also has a post office museum. Quite interested to see the inside! Their hours are pretty short (don't know why). I needed to send a small package to Germany, and USPS had he cheapest price (although still quite expensive...) compared to Fedx and USPS. If you need longer hours, there's another post office on E Bay st. You can check out.

Granted that no one is ever blown away by their experience at a USPS office, this one is particularly lackluster. On weekdays they don't open until 11:30 and close at 3:30 so it's pretty much impossible to send a package if you work during the day. I have never seen all of the counters open at the same time; it is usually just one poor employee fighting with an archaic computer system and struggling with a long line of people. This post office is redeemed by the beauty of the building's interior and the small "History of the Post" museum contained within.

Apparently the Charleston Post Office is famous, nay infamous. They lost the package I sent by priority mail, (!!!) and my client is quite distraught. He told me they stopped using them for shipments because of a history of problems they had with them. Next time, Fedex. or another reliable service.

I recently saw a story on the news about about post office closings in Charleston, I felt sorry for the EE's until I tried to get stamps today a few minutes b/f closing time!! Extremely Rude EE sent me away and told me to come back tomorrow.
