- JOJames OrrJul 16, 20255.0This is the best post office in the area. Miss Sharita is amazing. She always has a smile to spare and thrilled to see my wife and I. She is so helpful and the world is a better place because of her.
- BWBruce WaldropNov 16, 20245.0I moved out this way about a year ago and have been using this post office for a while. This is a "small town" type of post office with one person running the location. She has always been super friendly and helpful. This post office is closed daily for lunch because of the low staffing. This location is very convenient for me and I've never had any problems.
- KKkenAug 28, 20235.0I never have any problems here. I’ve run into the same lady every time I’ve gone and she is very helpful!
- HWHeather WSep 23, 20195.0The Shannon Post Office is my favorite post office in the Birmingham metro area! It’s small—which means no waiting in line and no parking problems. They don’t have a huge selection of mailing supplies and they don’t sell retail items like cards and gift cards. I’m willing to work around their weird hours because the staff is friendly and easygoing and their service is with a smile. It’s about 3 minutes away from my home in Ross Bridge, which makes it super convenient, too. This place is a hidden gem.
- PBPatricia BrattonFeb 19, 20194.0I frequent this post office often and the people there and especially the lady working there now is very kind . very helpful and very knowledgeable.
