- HGHugo GuzmanJul 7, 20255.0Amazing customer service. There was an error on a package address I had shipped from Europe, so USPS marked it as return to sender. I went to the office, explained what happened, and they redelivered it after hours! Thank you, Mr. Wright!! God bless you, and God bless the USPS!
- CFCarol FelicioOct 20, 20215.0I went at 2:30pm on Wednesday October 20th, 2021 and while there was a small line, they had 3 people working quickly, with great attitudes and helpful service. Definitely recommend for your mailing needs!
- JSJozanne S. SummervilleMar 26, 20184.0Very busy after work. But professional and experts. Appreciate the ladies who keep it moving. Cheers!
- FRFrank RettigNov 29, 20171.0My low rating has to do eight the fact that the post office is in total chaos. When packages are received, and you receive notification, then go to pick them up, they can’t find the package. This has happened repeatedly, and some packages never show up. On 11/28/2017, I went to pickup an expensive electronic package worth over $1,000, and they can’t find it. It makes me wonder how honest the staff is there.
