- NANapoleon AmayaJan 5, 20262.0I’m disappointed with this post office because of the consistently long wait times. The staff is friendly and helpful, but the location is clearly understaffed, which makes service slow and frustrating. I expected a more efficient experience, and it’s been disappointing that delays seem to be the norm.
- SSSamantaDec 17, 20255.0The reviews scared me. Everything went well and the woman at the register was great! She was sweet ❤️
- XOx OMIN0USNov 19, 20251.0When it comes to packages to be delivered to your door they will not attempt to deliver it. And will just give you a paper to go pick it up at the post office. The sad thing is that I have a camera in front of my door and nobody showed up. So what's the point of paying for that option? If they won't even provide you.
- MHMisha HollinsOct 10, 20253.0Everyone is really nice and helpful, especially Ms. Kay the Post Master. But there's one girl there that I've had to deal with, that works at the window that is just kind of hostile and passive aggressive for no reason. Just unpleasant. I try to avoid her at all cost.
- DTdarla ThompsonAug 1, 20255.0They are always friend, efficient and get the job done for me. I miss Kenny who passed away.
