- JMJan McIntireNov 7, 20252.0Can't get anywhere with their stupid phone ( non local)
- CKCJ KingAug 14, 20251.0I submitted a change of address at this location and after waiting 3 weeks waiting for mail I went back down there and they wouldn’t give me any answers about my paperwork and just wanted me to wait longer Turns out they never filed my paperwork and I just filed online. Wasted a huge amount of time and not to even mention the legal documents and checks that are being returned to sender because of their incompetence. Just submit it online I guess. Bureaucracy is trash and I’d like to see USPS get defunded
- SHSadie HineAug 14, 20251.0Unprofessional and unhelpful staff. I had a package delivered to my address that wasn't mine (wrong name, wrong address). Stopped by the post office to ask if they would take it. The guy at the counter lectured me about how it wasn't a USPS package (yeah ok, I get it). I then asked what I should do given that he couldn't help me, to which he said it is now my package and that I should just open it. Wouldn't that be a felony? lol. I walked out and he continued making snarky comments about me coming in as I left, which I heard all the way at my car through an open window. I have never left a review anywhere before, but this whole experience felt off putting enough to do so. Afterwards, I tried Post Haste instead, where they politely gave me a printed out sheet of different contacts and post offices to go to where I could get help with my specific situation, and answered my questions calmly and professionally. Always a much better, respectful experience there.
- TTtomas trianaJul 23, 20251.0I have never had a transaction here that did not force me to return several times. It has happened 3 times in a row. They are not accommodating at all. I would rather go out of my way to go to Eureka.
