- GJG. Dwayne JohnsonDec 3, 20253.0I miss the stamp machine. It's ridiculous to have to stand in line for atamps.
- RRRobin RhyneNov 19, 20251.0I misplaced my mailbox key and needed a replacement key on. First, I filled out a replacement form and paid the $25 on Oct 13, 2025. I went back a week later since the phone wasn't working at the PO only to find the paperwork from a week ago still there and that the person that makes the keys was on medical leave, there was no backup person. I went back a week later and was given the address of the Post Office HQ. No phone number, I had to find that on my own. I asked for the mail to be held, only to go back to the local PO and find out that I needed to fill out a yellow card (which there was no place to enter my zip code or apt #). Now, six weeks later, still no replacement key and only hoping that my mail is being held. Thus the reason(s) for the one star rating
- TATimeless AntiquesOct 30, 20251.0If you come this location you can expect the machines to be down, no change, gone on break signs at the most random time of the day and attitude if you ask for anything! Overall avoid unless it’s your last option
- TOTraveling OTOct 29, 20255.0A huge shoutout to Aries for going the extra mile to help me with an issue with a box key to my new P.O. Box!
- KRKamal RanabhatOct 3, 20251.0Asked me to come back in 30 min as she was out for no reason. Came during my lunch break to finish something real quick. Next time mention the break time if you are closed or some service is not available. So irresponsible.
