- SZSusannah ZieglerNov 10, 20255.0Louise was unbelievably helpful. The addresses are tricky in Kotzebue and being from Colorado I had a hard time understanding, but she patiently explained the rules (several times) until I understood and she saved the package for my nephew from being returned. She's an angel.
- SHShane HildrethMay 26, 20213.0Lines are normal.
- JYJoyce YuratichDec 31, 20185.0I am new to the area and have found the staff to always be friendly and hard at work. Yes, there is a long wait at times, but staffing is a problem all over Kotzebue.
- RRROBERTMar 11, 20184.0The staff does they best they can with being a remote location. Be aware long lines and random closures do happen when staffing is short handed. Kotzebue PO is a busy place and you will likely wait awhile in line sometimes.
- DWDaniel WestDec 11, 20163.0Like most Post Office's very busy and long lines. They have staffing issues so they're often randomly closed. Getting packages in though is like Christmas since you can't go to Best Buy, Target, Walmart, etc this is where you get in all the good stuff.
