- JAJanusz AdamiakDec 29, 20253.0Typical postal office. Only one window and person working. And the lobby smells like public restroom.
- KBKarter BurgdorfDec 22, 20251.0My package has been sitting with them for two weeks. Apparently you cannot expect a package to ship out in time for Christmas, so thanks for nothing. Guess I'll ship out in November next year.
- NLNatalie LundakDec 18, 20251.0horrible service, slow, and the self service machine doesn’t work
- CCCameronDec 15, 20251.0Routinely marks packages as delivered when no attempt is made, often not actually delivering the package until days later, if at all. I have had no mail service the last two delivery days (which I know not only because of my video doorbell, but because I have had outgoing mail sitting there), so it is...interesting that a package was marked delivered yesterday. This had happened before. I get that they don't want to get dinged for not meeting their delivery obligations so they mark things delivered that aren't, but this practice leaves the recipient holding the bag in the face of the "proof" that something was delivered. Branch doesn't answer the phone, main USPS customer service doesn't do anything but refer the issue to the branch for "investigation." I won't hold my breath for the results. I really wish I lived in a different branch's service area! I will say there is at least one woman who works at the windows who is super-nice, fast and helpful. My issue is with the home delivery service from this branch.
- ABAva BezaireDec 6, 20254.0I was was worried to have a bad experience at this location considering the reviews, but it was a completely regular experience on a Saturday morning. Not too busy and I was in and out in 5 mins.
