I can’t say enough good things about the US Post Office – Southern Ave & College Ave. This location consistently goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service.
The staff regularly checks in with customers while they’re waiting in line to help move things along faster and see if there’s anything they can assist with before you even reach the counter. I have never had a single employee here be rude or unhelpful—everyone is professional, friendly, and genuinely willing to help.
We are moving our business soon, and I will absolutely continue making the drive to this location because the service here is worth it. I’ve dealt with many different post offices across the country and in the surrounding area, and unfortunately most experiences elsewhere have been rude or unhelpful. This location is the complete opposite.
The customer service here is beyond exceptional. Highly recommend.

As far as post offices go, this one is pretty good. Sometimes associates can be a little less than warm, and sometimes there is a decent wait but, it's a post office and these people work at a post office. I'm not sure what you expect ha.

Came here a few yrs ago to ship via 3-5 day Priority mail a work application papers to Colorado. After a wk they said they never got it, checked the tracking and showed NO MOVEMENT!
Went in person, the clerk got the mgr at the time, a short 5ft, about 300 lb older lady (was 60+ of age) said "We have your pkg." and WALKED AWAY!
About a dozen people were behind me, all had stunned looks on their faces like mine; weeks went by and the company never recd my paperwork, so I resent it FedEx. Then in a few months a credit company contacted me saying my identity was stolen! I believe 100% this old lady or someone at this office sold my info/application paperwork (for a few bucks), I never returned there

I have never left a bad review in my life, but I walked in and was immediately yelled at for walking past the door because apparently that is where the line starts. The people were all extremely rude. I asked a very simple question saying I have a shipping label I need printed and they told me to write the address on the package. I went and did what they asked and the came back to the counter. I said the same thing I said before, I have a shipping label and I need it printed. The lady said we don’t that here. This was an extreme waste of my time and I was being treated the whole time like I was a waste of their time when they are being paid to be there. I work at a store, customer service is the end of the world, no one should ever be that rude to customers.
