- JDJulia DiGiovanniOct 21, 20251.0Incredibly rude staff especially to young women, I swear they think we are stupid. Had a package delivered and apparently they don’t accept ups, even though it says it was delivered there, the staff was extremely rude while I was asking questions to try to figure out where my package was. I tried to give them the tracking number and the lady cut me off and basically said she won’t help me. Both people working were incredibly rude, this was my first time using this post office and I just genuinely didn’t know they didn’t accept ups. The simple solution was just telling me that rather than cutting me off and refusing to help. Get it together!!!!!!!!
- ADAli DerryJul 16, 20251.0Certified mail got lost by this location. The package was delivered to my PO Box on a Saturday and I went in the following Monday. They couldn’t find my package and I left my information for them to contact me. They haven’t contacted me and the package was extremely important.
- ATAndrew TraweekNov 23, 20243.0They’ve gotten into the habit of scanning packages as delivered to PO Box or Parcel Locker, without them actually being delivered. So when USPS Informed Delivery tells you your packages are delivered, they probably won’t be actually in your box via slip or locker key until the next business day. Really inconvenient when it’s Amazon Pharmacy, and it’s a weekend. It’s also a waste of gas driving into town, only to have your box empty. This didn’t used to be a problem until about four months ago. Other than that, the workers are nice. The mail is mail.
- SGSharon GarciaAug 13, 20235.0Every time I've been to the counter the folks are very friendly helpful there. Unfortunately because we all live in the mountains USPS does not deliver to our home so PO boxes are the only where we can get mail. And if we buy something online it can't get shipped to our houses most time. That's just something to be aware of and to plan for. If you put your PO box number in a second address line that makes it easier for the postal folks however they only have so much space in that little bitty office so they can't hold on to packages especially ones that they cannot identify an addressee for.
- SWSean C. WoodDec 27, 20205.0Mountain P.O.Boxes have a lot of nuance to them. The staff here does a great job with a difficult scenario. Always make sure you have both physical address and P.O. Box!
