Opened late or closed without explanation on 2 separate occasions. It’s not like I use it a lot. They don’t bother apologizing or hurrying up, either. Arrogant inefficiency.

Not sure why there are so many bad reviews - went to drop off a package during lunch and received efficient, fuss free service.

Extremely rude staff- would avoid this location if possible. The lady helping me did not greet me and did not provide straightforward answers to any of my questions. Was more focused on talking to her coworker about lunch plans over helping me with my concerns. Spent about 20 minutes trying to mail one letter....

Took 4 hours in the line to get called and process and only took us 20 minutes to get it done and go to next step.
If everyone are prepared and ready, it shouldn’t need to take this long wait to get the documents done.
Most people are so annoying and unbelievably unprepared. Returning to the window 4-6 times and take their freaking ass time not worried for those people who drove 12 hrs just to get here.
