- BBbrittany briscoeSep 18, 20251.0It is currently 2:11pm on September 18,2025. The post office is closed.
- NNNatyJul 28, 20251.0I always remember myself never coming back to this agency. The old guy is always as rude as you can be. The woman there always on her phone or chatting around. But never attending. If you go there, prepare to wait.
- JJJohnMay 14, 20251.0This has got to be the worst post office I've ever been to. The one clerk literally continued watching TikToks on full volume while I was trying to hand her the package I was trying to ship and I got a massive eye roll and sigh when I walked up to the counter. Any customers are basically treated like the largest inconvenience in the world...
- KKKatherineApr 11, 20251.0Closed at 3:37 pm during business hours with nothing on the door saying why or when they will be back.
- CSCarder StoutMar 3, 20251.0I’ve been to this location three times, all within business hours, and it has only been open 2/3 times. Posted hours both online and on the door clearly state 9am-5pm, I was there today at 9:30 and the doors were still locked and the lights off and when I went by two weeks ago at 4:10, the office had already been shuttered for the day.
