- JNJonathen NaringsOct 28, 20251.0Shipped a package worth in excess of $3000 in July. It entered a USPS distribution center and never left. 3 months later, USPS sends me a check for $100. That doesn't even cover shipping. I have all the proof of what's in the package. It's on customs documents, packing list, etc. USPS tries placing the blame on different distribution centers, different post offices, even the customer....even after a USPS employee helped pack the parcel. Do the right thing, take the "L", and give me my money before another report is filed with OIG
- BCBrittany CriscioneJul 15, 20251.0Literally the worst USPS, the last collection is supposed to be 5:45 p.m. but I never have anything I drop off after 4:00 p.m. scanned same day. For my small business needs I will actually drive out of town to make sure my customers items arrive to them on time.
- SKSean KAug 28, 20245.0Very great staff... every time I come in, they are always great to me.... positive and happy to chat if it's not busy
- PGPaul GizelJul 25, 20231.0Nearly every time that I come here, it is the most depressing atmosphere in town. No matter how many times you say hello, good afternoon, good morning or goodnight, majority of the employees seem so miserable to be here. On today’s visit, the long-haired fella in his early 30s, never gave me eye contact, never acknowledged my goodbye, or my hello. Maybe something is going on in his life, but this is the fourth time that I’ve been in here within the last month and the second time I’ve had him, and he just randomly chooses to talk to you and who not to talk to. Sad to see the direction government continues to go.
- BKBrian KellyNov 23, 20215.0Great Post Office. Hardly ever a wait... pleasant folks.... thanks!
