This is by far the worst post office in the area. Long forever line, one worker at the counter, it’s circus hour, been here twice & remember why I don’t come here. Location area seems nice for downtown till you get inside & wait 40 mins. Don’t
Come here

This place is horrible. A prime example of why the mail system is failing. At other usps stores they’ll tape up your order but at this store the man working was extremely apathetic and I had to come back twice. The second time he condescendingly told me how he can’t tape up my order and how I had a to buy tape and then after I threw it out he said how he needed the bar code. This place is a hell hole and one of the worst experiences ive ever had. Go to any other usps than this one. Extremely rude only one person working and they move at a molasses pace and can do literally nothing for you other than scan and take your package.

If I can give this zero stars I would. The customer service is always terrible and this guy is so disrespectful to a point where I don’t ever want to come back. Somebody get rid of this guy. I wish I could remember his name but you know, you know!
