Love this USPS especially when Helen is on staff. She is patient and helpful in advising on the most cost-effective way to send something. USPS shipping rates remain cheaper than those of courier services. The building is beautiful and premises clean. I would give it 5 stars if they installed bicycle racks.

Advertises a self-service kiosk you can use in the evening but locks the lobby.

I’ve been to this post office a couple of times and always use the machine to mail packages. I haven’t had any issues as far as that’s concerned. BUT do not attempt to come to this post office before work because they don’t open on time. It’s supposed to open at 8:30 but they come in whenever they want. There was a line outside when I arrived at 8:39. Everyone left after a few minutes because we all had to get to work.

Could somebody pick up the phone?? I've been calling since last Friday 11/6/15 and it just rings then says "unavailable" with NO ANSWERING MACHINE. Calling about a lost package/usps opened case. This is ridiculous.
