- GGGillian GeorgeFeb 13, 20265.0I’m honestly pretty shocked at the negative reviews I’ve seen for this post office. I think people need to understand this is a smaller office with one person working, not a multi person distribution center. They are extremely efficient for the resources they have and very kind. I’ve owned a small business for 4 years now and have changed post office offices over 10 times. This has been by far my favorite one. Jim is incredibly kind and always says hello to everyone who walks in even if they’re just dropping a package. I appreciate how attentive and kind he is because if I’m being honest a lot of post office workers are not like this (though they have good reason to be when so many people are rude to them). He’s the reason this is my favorite post office and for those who feel like there’s too much conversation I beg of you to touch some grass and reconnect with people, we are all losing the art of talking to one another and it’s a blessing to connect with strangers
- MCMaeve ConatyOct 24, 20255.0Jim who works at the front is incredibly kind and was fast and helpful. The people who are complaining that he socializes too much or is not fast enough shouldn't be in Leucadia lol.
- CCConscious ConsumerOct 2, 20251.0Ever since the new guy took over he socializes all day and is very unhelpful. Unprofessional
- BRBrigitte RinceSep 30, 20255.0This is now our go to Post Office. Jim goes above and beyond he knows the answers to all of our questions. He is super friendly and we will continue to come back and get his help with all of our postal needs.
- ANAngelina NashSep 12, 20251.0Really unhelpful to be open at these hours. I work and they open 2 hours after I’m already at work close 10 minutes before i could make it to them after work. And then closed in the weekend…. This location should not be able to hold packages for missed deliveries if they only operate at these weird hours Update: I didn’t receive the pink slip so I had to call and was told to go to this location specifically by the woman on the phone. I had to leave early from work and rush over to make it before they close. The man at the desk was chatting away and seemingly hitting on a young lady being helped front of me and my boyfriend which was awkward. Finally get to the counter and tell him we are picking up some packages and he says this location doesn’t hold packages. Understandably I make a shocked face and he stops and says there’s no shock…basically saying don’t be surprised when I was literally told to come to this location. He proceeds to turn to my boyfriend who is not the owner of these packages and talks only to him. I saw the reviews and knew this would be unpleasant and unfortunately was not proven wrong.
