- MBMelissa Belk2 days ago5.0Amazing Staff. It was a busy day with long lines (and had clearly been that way for hours). One staff member was about to finally go on her lunch but stayed longer as she was the only one who could help me send off my passport. Lisa checked my docs and walked me through the entire process. The people here clearly enjoy their jobs as they were positive and bantering back and forth, making everyone smile during the wait. They genuinely care about helping people. Thanks Lisa!
- JLJon LewisAug 25, 20255.0I love going to this place. Never a long wait and the people who work there are super friendly and helpful. I like to go early on the weekday mornings as parking on 2nd Street can get dicey.
- FDFree DomMay 31, 20215.0This is without a doubt THE MOST EFFICIENT WONDERFUL FABULOUS POST OFFICE IN THE WORLD. All the tellers are soooooo kind nice fast and efficient. If you go anywhere else you are missing out on great service, professionalism and the warmth of small town charm.
- KWKenneth WhitehouseMay 24, 20165.0The people that work here are great, I'm in almost every week as I have an online business. Never had a problem with the employees. Super helpful and very competent, I don't think these people who complain have any long term experience with this post office.
