Don’t let the pictures deceive you! The inside is not spacious, cheerful and clean like the pictures would have you think. The service is good though. I go here to drop off packages and they’re quick enough to take them.

Everything was simple, fast, and easy. The other customers were kind and the clerk was friendly. I was in and out in what seemed like 5 minutes.

You have to give credit where credit is do. We have had a Sal as our postman for a long time and he does a great job. Over the past few days we have had a new postman and that is Anthony. Very clean cut and respectable young man. He introduced himself the first day and said he'd be filling in for Sal. Good to see a young person with Ole school values! Someone that it isn't just working for a pay check in this day and age. I sure hope the powers to be at the Post Office recognize him for his outstanding job. Great job Anthony bringing a 5 star rating to a 2.6 company is just what the US Postal Service needs!!
