- TMTony MariosOct 15, 20251.0Paid $52 for priority express delivery paid extra to have a delivered on Sunday package was never delivered the recipient had to go to the post office and pick it up on Tuesday. When I shipped it I use the kiosk. The printer was broken so I have a digital receipt took it into this location for my refund and a man named. Alex told me that he wasn’t going to give me a refund because it’s not a physical receipt and that his “manager“ told him I have to have a physical receipt when clearly the policy is proof of purchase digital receipt or physical receipt, then proceeded to tell me why I don’t have enough money anyways you have to go somewhere else when clearly the policy as well is if you don’t have the cash in your drawer, you issue a money order very unprofessional rude for no reason like it was my fault that they’re incompetence went to a package never been delivered that I paid $52 for to be delivered 500 miles away that took five days and was never delivered. She had to pick it up and they wonder why they’re bankrupt they’re the worst shipping entity in the country. Their customer service is terrible and clearly their managers have no idea what the company policies are. I ship things 3 to 4 times a month I will never ever use the post office ever again. And Alex, the clerk at this location was the rudest most unprofessional and knowledgeable, wanna be professional I’ve ever dealt with in my life and a complaint has been made and hopefully he’s reprimanded

- KVKayley VaughnJul 15, 20254.0I picked up my package here and the staff were very quick and nice. The only thing is it smells so bad inside the building like sewer. I feel bad for the employees who have to smell that all day

- RMRosana MoléMay 17, 20191.0I have never seen so unfriendly and unprofessional behaviour from a post office employee. “Jess” besides been rude and disrespectful just left me in the middle of the line with my package because “ I need go to my lunch “
