Do NOT purchase stamps here! Go ONLY for the museum. I was there this past Saturday morning (10:00a.m. on April 5th) to buy postcard stamps and visit the museum, and while the museum was stunning, the only woman who was working the windows that morning sold me stamps that were ALREADY CANCELLED! She took my money, and then pulled out 5 loose stamps from her cash register and handed them to me. I've purchased many stamps here in the past and never had an issue, but when I got home, I realized they were already cancelled! I had to use glue to stick them to my post cards. When I went to another location (Tacuba) to drop them off, they would not accept the stamped cards using the stamps I had purchased from Palacio Postal and I had to purchase 5 more stamps. They were very apologetic, and the service at the Tacuba location was terrific, but I was ANGRY. They recommended that I take a photo (attached) and report what happened. I should have known something was amiss when I didn't get my usual receipt from my original stamp purchase at Palacio Postal.
I've been living in Mexico for several years and have sent dozens and dozens of post cards, and I've NEVER been scammed by Correos Mexico before.

Read moreI assisted in my partners exposition there. He did an amazing installation of cyberpunk robots infused with Mexican symbolism. Absolutely stunning. The place didn’t help us in any of the installation process, and they changed his dates twice. After which they closed it, they didn’t maintain it open for the amount of time that was agreed. We went to go pick up the pieces and in the end they had STOLEN an extension cord and an iron angle ruler. They didn’t help finance anything and they ended up STEALING FROM US. Specifically the woman that works there that goes by Joz was horrible to us when we presented her with any of these concerns. Yes the arquitecture is amazing, but I think the people who are in charge of the place do nothing to make it into an even more spectacular place to visit, a place that supports the arts.
