Someone needs to give Mariam a raise! Mariam helped me with sending two international packages and she could not have been more helpful. She didn’t make me feel rushed and did everything with a smile. What a surprisingly positive (and professional) USPS experience…I hope someone reads this and gives her a raise. :)

I recently moved out-of-state and I missed this USPS location so much I had to write a review. This place was always an easy experience. Almost never had a line (and if there was it was quick). The employees were always polite, helpful, and knowledgeable. I used to drive past a different post office just to come to this location for better service!
