This may be the worst post office ever. They consistently return packages addressed to post office boxes and give no explanation as to why. They say it is Undeliverable and return the package the day it arrives. The get packages addressed to residential with the proper requirements for them to be delivered to a PO Box (PO-Box) and still send packages back. If I could use any other service in the area I would do all I could to not deal with the terrible post master and staff.
