- ACAmy CrumpSep 3, 20255.0Super friendly people!
- MAMath AlagnaJun 7, 20251.0Was very nice and asked for help with finding a box didn’t get any help just got told to grab one and head to the back of the lien they didn’t have the size I was looking for I asked about it she just pointed to the boxes I was looking at, treated me condescendingly when I was trying to ask questions about sending it, I’m freshly an adult and was hoping maybe the post office would be a helpful place, will be going to Gunnison from now on.
- KBKaty BurchfieldDec 7, 20245.0I’ve had a box at this post office since 2018 and service has always been hit or miss, until now. I’m not sure what the current group working there is doing differently behind the scenes but the improvements over the last few months are noticeable and very much appreciated. Despite being busy they’re always friendly and helpful. Mail arrives on time and operations are definitely more organized.
- SCSteve ChodadosDec 8, 20181.0Deliver packages, it’s making everyone lives worse to wait in line only to find out incompetent employees returned your mail to sender only because you got sent a package to your local address rather than a PO Box. Thanks for nothing.
