Waited an entire hour when I came to pick up a package and when asking a simple question about where some charges came from, the employee I talked to got mad and refused to provide an explanation. He said something like "are you gonna pay it or not" which is crazy because it's not that I was unwilling to pay, I just wanted to know why I had to pay so much. Incredibly unprofessional. I had to go back into the general line and ask a different employee for an explanation. There were 2 people ahead of me that had also been waiting for an hour before they were able to pick up their packages. Just ridiculously rude (at least that one employee, not the rest) and the wait times are horrendous.

I love the USPS, but this location is terrible. It seems like no one cares and customers are a nuisance. Not sure the issue, but when the DMV provides better customer service, you are in trouble.

I just had to do my passport renewal for the first time and the employees were incredibly kind, patient, and helpful! I got in and out in maybe 10 minutes! I know that most USPS mailing locations look bad (based from reviews), but this was very easy and reliable!

Don't bother calling. I'm not sure why they even pay for phone service. They do not answer and don't care if you can't come in to get your answer.

I bought a condo in Decatur NOV 8th but the seller didn’t have a mailbox key. NOV 9th I went to this post office and paid $27 to have a key made. We are almost in FEB and I still do not have access to my mailbox. I have found a way to make it to the post office after work and before they close 7 or 8 times. Every time I have gone they have said they are going to do it in a week, in 2 days, tomorrow, we will call you. I have not been called once. If I could give less than one star I would. I do not know when I will be able to receive mail at my home- they stole my money and it’s not looking like there is any intention to actually give me a mail key at all.
