- LLLydia LimNov 10, 20251.0Delivery person put my package on the fence and package fell down and everything broke inside. I was there to confront him. He said he didn’t know it’s going to fall down. On the tracking information he said that he left package with individual. But he forgot to say that item was broken due to his negligence.
- GLGracey LoveAug 27, 20255.0Close to closing time and only one other person in line besides myself. Most times 7-9 persons deep with two windows open.
- EDEmely DiazAug 20, 20251.0Long line just to be told we need to get into another line to wait for the supervisor and it's been half hour and no supervisor. We're not getting mail or service.
- DDDisastrous1Aug 3, 20252.0The slowest post office in a 15 mile radius. I went there last year and waited in line for an eternity and the same two employees were working then were working there again at the end of July. I waited in line for 20 minutes and when I left there were nearly 20 people in line.
- LSLea SmithJul 19, 20254.0The gentleman that helped.us could have greeted.us with a smile. He was doing his best i guess.
