- TLTerry LunsfordNov 15, 20251.0We just got a delivery from USPS. Whenever it is a larger box they always bring it to the house. Today they left a box on the ground out by the street. Unacceptable.
- YCYael COct 27, 20255.0Excellent staff, and service
- NLNikita LumpkinSep 24, 20251.0The absolute worst experience at this post office in the last 30 years. The supervisor was so disrespectful wouldn’t allow me to get a package that went my physical address. Told me to take it up with Amazon not his problem. How am I supposed to know how Amazon going to send a package. So because I didn’t have a “mailbox” at my residence he said it was company policy I couldn’t get my package. Then the way he spoke to Mr.Lyn broke my heart. A man who’s been in postal service and serving Alachua over 40 years to be treated like that in front of customers is unacceptable. Do better city of Alachua
- FRFaith R.Jul 15, 20255.0This has been my local post office for the last 16 years, and no one at the counter has ever made an error when I ship something. Len treats every customer like family, and his professional attitude, accuracy, and friendliness make my visit to the branch a pleasant one. I occasionally use another branch, but the counter staff there are indifferent, less than courteous, and have made numerous, serious mistakes. I feel very lucky that we still have the Alachua branch that treats people well. Just today, I called about a missing package and Christy (not sure how to spell her name) found it for me and made sure it would get to my carrier for delivery tomorrow. She really cared about helping me. That's why I love to go to our Alachua post office branch. Five stars all the way for the Alachua branch!
- VHVinny HermanJul 8, 20251.0Do not use this USPS for ANY reason. I have been behind a woman who needed service, and the clerk copped an attitude, like she was bothering him, expecting him to do his job. She wanted to pick up a package, and the clerk hemmed and hawed about it, asking her if she really needed it. Seriously! The clerks are as slow as molasses in January going uphill backwards. If I need to mail a package, I will go the extra mile or so to the UPS Store, and spend the extra money.
