- LLLivi LinNov 3, 20251.0I’m pretty sure the lady staff has some problems. I’ve returned my packages three times, two of them were processed by her. And every time she was rude and talked aggressively, also forced me to buy bags, tried to ‘educate’ me that they are not responsible for the package fee. The first time I thought I had no experience and probably should have better wrapped for my stuff. But when I was served by another male staff he accepted my package quickly and use their free bag to help me packaging them, didn’t ask for additional package fee. Next time I’m gonna wait to be served by other staff, not to embarrass her, just avoid being treated rudely.
- CNCharles NothingOct 25, 20251.01 star because I can't do it zero . Waiting for an important package all day , see it says "delivered" on the app so I go and look outside and nothing, I then see my shameless male person quickly leaving the scene of the crime before I could approach them . They didn't even attempt to deliver the package and left a note stating this was the final notice. USPS sucks .
- VBViolet BurrellOct 23, 20251.0Lost my package and have been extremely unhelpful
- PKPaul KirkOct 2, 20255.0Always helpful, always informative, great suggestions, very friendly.
- RWRobert WilsonSep 2, 20254.0Staff are good but the location is hard to access due to the lack of parking so I typically go to other USPS locations instead. On top of shipping packages they offer PO boxes, sell shipping supplies, offer free USPS boxes and do passport services.
