- DEDawn EricksenSep 18, 20255.0I’ve been mailing quite a few packages lately. When I pop into the Ellenton Post Office, I am always greeted by Jose with a smile. Jose is always so helpful with the most cost effective way to mail my items and they have the best stamps! All I can say is Jose, (I didn’t get the other gentleman’s name) are awesome! They both always brings a smile to my face after a very long day.

- JGJohn GuerinJul 30, 20254.0Very nice post office. The woman working was a bit cold and robotic. I would still recommend this one. Good parking, nice layout and an abundance of PO Boxes. Respectfully, JG LTjg USN ret.
- JRJoshua RosenauerJun 21, 20251.0Front desk staff isn't knowledgeable in closing PO boxes. Had to wait an extra half hour for someone who knew how to do it. Please train your employees on how to do their job
