- GDgigi droopOct 24, 20251.0Every time I come to this USPS, a specific security guard will stand behind be as I'm buying postage and telling me I'll need to pay. Is so incredibly uncomfortable and this guard never seems to question anyone else about the postage their buying let alone stand behind them. He is incredibly unhelpful and demeaning, it makes me never want to come to this location, to my knowledge he works Friday afternoons.
- CCCSOct 24, 20255.0I had a really nice experience here today. They helped me mail something out that I needed to track and have a return letter addressed to me. We were helped by two people. One gentleman when we came in showed us where to get the envelopes to mail our stuff out and the other at the counter to put everything together to send it. I appreciate them helping me because I was just lost with what I was supposed to do. Thank you for your help! I appreciate you
- CCC.A.M.Oct 21, 20254.0Loop's primary USPS location. Can get a bit busy but the self service stations help. Pretty building.
- MMMax MOct 21, 20251.0They make up rules to avoid having to do their jobs, this time it was about how I taped a package. If you ask a question, they just act flabbergasted to avoid answering.
- ILIrene LoOct 16, 20251.0Loss a package of $1000 value with insurance for Priority Mail Express International, and filed 3 claims already, but not a single costumer service is able to make a refund!!
