    This lady is so damn unprofessional I didn’t even know this was a real post office I thought it was a 3rd party. She’s on her phone at the window quoting wrong prices, acting like she had better places to be! Wow I’ve never had an experience like this

    This place is Horrible. I went there today to return a package to sender my address is in Los Angeles the Supervisor that was trainning a clerk told me I couldn't send package back because it had an l.a. address on package. I had to take package to post office in L.A. That was so ridiculous I just laughed and left. I will not recommend or trust these people with my mail.

    Service looks fine and sometime too many people on the line and had to leave for that day. Recently I tried to get there before lunch time (noon), but they were already closed around 11:55 A.M. I would appreciate if they could run on time.

    I don't know what all these people did to the previous worker NAMED Avis but she was nice and polite to me all the time considering I have a PO box here I pick up mail from every 2-3 months so when I come my box is super packed. This is a small and older location and the PO Boxs show when I got my box about 4 years ago it took a while to get the combo reset because as I was told by several of the worker over time the Company doesn't care about them they've actually been trying to shut down this location but since alot of people have boxes and mail does come in and out they can't so sending a someone to reset the boxes isn't a priority unfortunately. The people that are mad because they get an hour lunch? Wow there's only one person here on any given day and always the same lady unless she takes vacation or out sick and you begrudge them their lunch, there's something wrong with you not the them. Go to a bigger office with more employees if this bothers you.
