- NBNatalia BarahonaJan 5, 20261.0I had a terrible experience at the window. I greeted the clerk, and she ignored me with attitude. On top of that, she told me I shouldn’t come to this post office if I didn’t like the service. The whole encounter was rude and unhelpful. Customer service needs serious improvement—no one should be treated this way.
- JGJessie GeeDec 17, 20251.0Cold and unwelcoming! Horrible service! Lady at the window seemed miserable and bothered by the fact I needed help. Don't know how these employees maintain a position at this establishment. My guess? Management is the same way and is to blame. Go elsewhere. You've been warned.
- KTKayla ThomasNov 1, 20255.0Beautiful building, short lines and great customer service
- SSstackdadOct 31, 20251.0Apparently, unlike in the past, the whole point of the post office now is to not give you your mail. I presented my re-delivery form to the clerk. The form in and of itself should make the nature of my business obvious, but because I didn't answer the queen's question in the appropriate fashion while reaching for my ID, she cops an attitude. After seeing I was getting nowhere, I told her to forget it. She said, "I like that idea." Reign on queen!
- ETErnie TrebizoSep 29, 20251.0Worst post office ever the light skinned black lady is the rudest postal clerk I've ever encountered she really should be in a different field. I see why they have a 2.7 rating
