Never thought I’d live in a place where I’d know my postman on a first name basis. Josh, you’re the best!

Josh was so helpful with a few confusing orders I was sending out! Very grateful to have such a nice person working in such a stressful place!

Quick access from Highway 285, (near the Junction with Highway 9), lots of free parking, and fast, friendly, service. This location also has one of those newfangled electronic shipping lockers, (similar to what Amazon offers as an alternate delivery location for certain items), except I'm pretty sure this can be used by Amazon AND UPS.
So I think you can have commercial shipping companies deliver to a post office. I don't know the details, because this isn't offered at "my" post office.
I hesitated to answer "yes" to appointments being required, as they ARE required for passport applications. Yes, they take them at this branch, by appointment. I'm told they can even take your passport pictures for you, and, again, I suggest you ask about this when you call for your appointment.
