- DMDavid McMillenOct 18, 20251.0Very rude and unhelpful employees.
- ZWZachary WilkesOct 25, 20221.0FYI mailboxes in the pictures are gone which a pretty big inconvenience for after hours service.
- NLNichole LarsonNov 22, 20214.0I have been here multiple times and it's my preferred post office in the area. Sometimes there is a wait especially at the end of the day as they typically only have 1 or 2 people at the counter. But I have always had good customer service.
- AKAli KortzendorfNov 5, 20161.0Carol was extremely rude, I had a toddler with me who had just woke up from a nap so we were slow moving, and she let myself and everyone else know in the building that I walked in 6 minutes before 5pm and that they were about to close and asked me to hurry. Then when I got to the counter, I told her I would only send out the ones packaged since it was almost 5 and come back next time for the ones that were not ready (I had 6 small packages ready to go) and she said again "next time you have this many packages can you come earlier since we are about to close) she wasn't very nice about it but I kept my mouth shut and nodded. Mind you there were still people behind me, one guy being complicated about stamps (the other lady helped him NICELY) and there were still people behind me. If you want out right at five, better lock your doors 15 minutes before because that isn't how it works cupcake. I hope that five minutes of your time didn't ruin your evening.
