- AMamanda millerNov 1, 20252.0Ugh. You guys need to hire new people. The 2 old ladies are slow and useless. Especially the one with the red wig. Had to wait nearly an hour with ONE person in front of me.
- KWKentin WaitsOct 23, 20251.0Always understaffed. Always a line. Always dirty.
- VLVirginia LeeSep 26, 20255.0I went there around 10 in the morning to mail a package. There was no one at the counter. There was a sign that said to ring the bell for service. I rang the bell and someone came out right away. Service was pleasant and efficient.
- JJJacobSep 9, 20251.0Worst customer service. Lady was unhelpful with every single customer, making the line longer and making everyone wait. Wouldn’t tape up my box and instead offered to sell me tape for 5$ and have me do it myself. UPS would never!!! This place is a joke and no wonder people don’t use the post office anymore.
- NFNora living life On Quail Valley FarmAug 19, 20251.0Such rude clerks was talking to the blonde/white haired lady then the redheaded clerk decides they needed to, butt in and was so rude, and not only that the appearance of this person is crazy their hair has not been brushed and probably a month with big giant knots in the back, which is a very bad representative of the US Postal Service, there used to be a day where the employees had to look at least somewhat presentable, but aside from that my package was sent back and I just went to ask a simple question and they wouldn’t even talk to me. Said I needed to talk to a carrier supervisor, sent me over to another door, carrier supervisor never came. Funny thing is I used to be a carrier in California and I retired. This is a horribly run Post Office. Post Master you can do better. This Post Office needs a re vamp
