- AAAllieJul 26, 20245.0Great little neighborhood post office. Everyone working there is friendly and there is usually no line.
- JMJuanchi MerloNov 21, 20221.0Worst company ever
- LLliaodesignDec 28, 20205.0Coming from North Upper Truckee this is the closest post office was bit reluctant to come here because there is one review only and not very good. However I glad I did, the post lady that helped me was super friendly and efficient. I wish I remember her name big kudo to her she deserves a 6 stars for customer service! I hope her manage sees this review I was there 12/28 around 400pm.
- TATucker AndersonNov 21, 20202.0For some reason nobody ever wants to deliver any package to me. I only live 4 blocks away and they immediately send it back to sender. If a package is bigger than a mail box and I have no mail box, common sense would to just leave it on the porch. The people who work here just seem so lazy. Seriously need a quick employee powwow to get everyone on the same page.
