- MMMissyNov 11, 20251.0One older man in this post office is ALWAYS rude.
- HAHolly AugustineNov 8, 20255.0Drive in, drop off, drive out. Easy peasey
- RWRobert WilsonSep 2, 20254.0It's hard to find this location and driving to it from the highway is a bit tricky with the turns. I ended up going into the wrong parking lot at first and then had to use my phone to make sure I was walking in the right direction towards the post office to then discover they had a parking lot right outside. Aside from those difficulties its a good place to ship a package with helpful staff and other post office norms like shipping supplies. This is a good option if you're avoiding going into town, but it's a bit hard to find and get to your first time.
- DTDavy ThomasFeb 28, 20245.0Friendly and knowledgeable staff, easy in and out
- DKDiane KAug 4, 20211.0Couldn't go inside after hours to drop off a prepaid package. Wasted my time. Had to drive to Scott's Valley to be able to do this.
