- HJHugh JassJul 29, 20241.0Woman did not seem happy to be there and wouldn’t let us put up a poster. UPS was much more accommodating, so if you need anything, go there for a much better experience. Will not be returning to this location as the one on Wisconsin is much better
- CSChris SalvatoreFeb 15, 20232.0I don't believe it's the fault of the employees but oftentimes the post office is closed or people don't show up and I think there's an internal issue here. Somebody was supposed to be there today at 2:15 and the door still locked at 3:15
- RRRetoNov 9, 20181.0One of the worst services I have ever had. Staff is unmotivated and waiting time is beyond bad. Even sending a simple letter becomes a nightmare.
- YCYara C.Oct 15, 20161.0Bad manners, not helpful at all. Every time there is upsetting.
- DMDavid MartinezNov 30, 20131.0The absolute worst post office in the area. If you want any service, go somewhere else. Rude, slow, and unhelpful.
