Mrs. Johnson answered the phone on a day that I was dealing with a package that needed to be STOPPED from delivery. She stay in touch with me on 3-4 separate occasions to intercept this delivery from being delivered to a family who had lost their Mother. Mrs. Johnson was very professional, courteous, and knowledgeabl. She immediately understood the delicate situation our family was in, and she went Above and Beyond to right the situation. Thank you so much Mrs. Johnson for all your diligence. You are a godsend to the Community!!!!
Sincere, Mrs. K Woods.

Usually do USPS Click-N-Ship. This is the only post office I’ve been to that’s been confused every time I use it. First time I brought in two packages with one code, the employee told me that that’s not how it works (It is, you get one code for however many labels you print, and they print one after the next). After she told me to step out of line to “figure myself out” I asked her to just try to scan it. When I asked her to just try, and she did, she said “that must be new,” like it hasn’t been a feature for at least two years now.
Today, I came in with two packages and one code. Now, I made a mistake and forgot to attach one of the labels when checking out online. I didn’t realize this, asked the employee today to scan and said that they should both pop up (as last time I had to ask the employee to just try). I got one package to pop up, and then when she said that they “don’t come on one code. There needs to be two.” While is still unequivocally wrong, I said I’d check the email, where I found I forgot to attach both. I said “Oh, yep. I forgot to attach the code, I’ll just… return.”
She said “Yeah, and bring me lunch next time…” and followed it up saying that I “tried to snap at me.”
I didn’t? I understand that USPS employees constantly get incompetent customers. I didn’t want to be one of those, but when I had one employee pretend a feature that was firmly established was “new,” last time, I’m going to ask to retry to scan the code next time.
All this to say: Rude employees so far, and I’ll be back with packages on one label over and over. They better get ready to scan.

I arrived at 5:45pm (closing time is supposed to be 6:00) and the doors were locked. No sign, nothing, saying why.There were 3 other random people who also came but had to turn around and leave.
I went to the back door where they were loading a truck and a postal worker shrugged their shoulders when I asked why the front door was locked. Not helpful!
