EITHER THEY'RE STEALING THE PACKAGES OR THEY'RE MISDELIVERING A WHOLE HECK OF A LOT OF PACKAGES.
I CONTINUE TO GET DELIVERED PACKAGE ALERTS WHERE THE PACKAGES WERE NOT DELIVERED. I'VE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OVER THE YEARS TO NO AVAIL...
ONE COULD ONLY ASSUME THAT THESE PACKAGES ARE BEING STOLEN BY THE EMPLOYEES OF THE POST OFFICE RATHER THAN DELIVERING THEM...
EVERYONE IS ENCOURAGED TO FILE FORMAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE... HOPEFULLY THERE'LL BE SOME CHANGES WITH NEW MANAGEMENT AND REPLACEMENT OF THE DERELICT AND LAZY EMPLOYEES THAT DON'T GIVE A CARE.

Visited 8/29/25, after several years. The location was clean, however, it didn't seem welcoming. Although there weren't many customers, the wait times seemed lengthy. The location also has a hand made sign stating they don't accept cash. Whats frustrating about this is I planned to purchase a single stamp.
Its already difficult to obtain services in the neighborhood. This adds to the difficulty. If you have cash find another location.
Online right now, location listed as temporarily closed. Not sure when this occurred. Seems incorrect.
