- MRMary RahimkhaniDec 29, 20254.0I have been here a few times and overall I never had any bad experience. There is usually and line and wait time but nothing too crazy and the staff had the line moving smoothly. I just find parking a bit hard, it’s just meter parking
- PCpeter contiDec 16, 20251.0came 10 mins early. they open 5 mins late. the one person that’s working is talking to her friend on the phone. massive line by 9:10. these ppl have no pride in their jobs. none. shame on them.
- SMShirin MolaviNov 19, 20251.0The absolute worst service ever. Uneducated federal workers that turned me away with a completed passport form. Was told I was missing a FedEx slip which is incorrect. No wonder they are federal workers without proper education just went to another post office with zero problems. If you are paid to do a service make sure you have the knowledge to do so. I feel sad for these ppl.
- AAAzadeh AOct 21, 20251.0OMG. Staff at the counter don’t want be bothered. Rude and dismissive. They clearly hate their life and their job.
- AWArizona WuOct 14, 20251.0The ladies worked there not friendly at all, never smiled or greeting to you, they don’t seem they’re happy working there which I feel very sorry about, also the kiosk machine went out of service quite often. I would try to avoid using service here, time wasting.
