- AHAmanda HarrellAug 8, 20251.0I am missing a package that was delivered to this post office. I have called so many times at all different times. Left at least 5 voicemails. No one has called back. This is beyond frustrating
- AGA GDec 16, 20241.0Don't bother calling just go in, they will never answer the phone.
- AAautumnzipperJul 9, 20245.0BEST Post Office of all time. The most kind and knowledgeable clerks who are always so helpful and friendly. Doesn’t hurt that they always have candy for the kiddos. I have a small business and I’m in the post office on a weekly, sometimes daily basis, and it’s always a pleasure. Getting mail to and from an island is a challenge at times, but one they tackle well.
- PSPeter StantonJun 8, 20174.0The staff here has always been professional and helpful, although it can be frustrating when waiting times in line get extremely long.
- TGTee GarciaAug 15, 20161.0My package arrived on July 25th 2016; it is now August 15th and my 3 day priority has never made it! This is the WORST CUSTOMER experience EVER! You can not get a live person and when you do they don't seem to fully understand you! I keep getting excuses as to when it should arrive. Spoke with someone this morning and they clearly didn't understand me and were in a hurry to brush me off the phone! This post office is a joke! I will be taking it higher because it seems as if my package is not a priority and that my business is not a priority!
