- MCMonica CNov 3, 20251.0Avoid this place at all cost lady rejected my package because the company accidentally put it hazardous label. once she found it it wasn't just said well ill just void it because it will take too long. Weird interaction and weird way of handling a package.
- KCKat ChristoferSep 29, 20252.0"i told you, no stamps!" is what i heard when i reached the window after 15 minutes waiting and asked for global and love forever. um, what? when was i told this? while in line, 12 feet away with headphones on (to stay calm), and you, the clerk, behind the glass? no empathy, no apology, no prisoners. this is a post office, right? i've worked in CS before, so i don't get the default to anger and curtness to customers who pay money to fund salaries and service
- DVDavid VineAug 20, 20255.0Staffed by beautiful wonderful people (working under very challenging conditions due to decades of US government underinvestment and fiscal constraints).
- RBRhonda B.Aug 2, 20252.0The schedule states they close at 2 pm on Saturday. I come over ant 1:15 pm and handwritten note on the door states: Closed Today, WTH! It’s not a holiday I don’t know what is going on here! I had someone drop me off here because of the congestion of the Farmers Market all to no avail. I will state that the workers here are really nice generally but I didn’t know the USPS could just randomly close for the day.
