- LLLarkOct 23, 20255.0Super friendly staff, very knowledgeable and efficient.
- CJCharles JenningsOct 17, 20255.0I was running so far behind schedule today… At 4:31 PM the woman saw me outside and even though the door was locked she unlocked the door and accepted my prepaid package. I am forever grateful. She didn’t need to open the door and would’ve been in her right because it was after 4:30 PM… Thank you for helping a dude out!
- SKSami KebedeJul 28, 20231.0Extremely low customer service especially the Hispanic lady was very dismissive and down right throwing my stuff. Definitely not coming back here.
- MDMichael DitmoreDec 11, 20185.0I've had to wait in some longish lines, but usually there are only a few people in front of me. The service provided by the postal workers has always been efficient and thoughtful. Given the pressure the post office has faced from the federal government recently, I think they're doing a damn good job.
- DRDave RawksJul 22, 20181.0The worst of the local post offices. Frequently no counter staff even during posted hours.
