- ACAmy CrumpSep 3, 20255.0Super friendly people!
- BBBart BartlettFeb 24, 20234.0Update- New hires and shorter lines! Happy to report that lines were much better/shorter this summer. This post office is a nuanced experience requiring a lot of patience. Basically USPS doesn’t deliver to most local addresses. Anything shipped via USPS is going to end up on a shelf at the post office. It then gets returned if you don’t pick it up quickly enough. Sometimes quickly enough is 2-3 days but at Christmas time it’s more like 24 hours. The best method we’ve found is to ship UPS to your address but to put your PO Box number at the end of a 9 digit zip so the package might make it to your box if it goes USPS.
