- RMRegina MillerDec 23, 20251.0My pkg was to be delivered on the 20th. Carrier didn't try to deliver it, he/ She left a notice to pick it up. Its not in Elkhart or Bristol. I guess my grandkids don't get Christmas because evidently the carrier has list it or kept it.
- MMMichelleDec 7, 20251.0It's says online and on the doors they close till 5pm on Saturday and just had to pick up something at noon and they wouldn't open and said they're closed
- EMElena MarinNov 2, 20251.0Their lack of professionalism and poor customer service skills left me feeling frustrated and let down. I would not recommend this particular USPS branch for passport services, as it is clear that customer satisfaction is not a priority for the employees managing this office.
- EQEdgar QuinteroOct 20, 20251.0Es el peor servicio que he visto en mi vida, pagué un envío de tres días de una maleta, han pasado dos meses desde ese entonces, y aún la maleta no llega y no me dan respuesta en absoluto de lo que está sucediendo. Y he dirigido varias oportunidades para saber sobre el envío y la atención que recibo es muy mala. Por favor si alguien puede ayudarme en esto, aquien contactar oh algún número de teléfono para que me puedan ayudar.Ya que ellos me dicen que no me pueden dar información sobre esto. Y quiero saber si ellos no pueden darme información sobre mi paquete, Aquien le puedo preguntar? Y para eso pagué un servicio express. Y no me han solucionado nada. Y los números que salen en la página, eso no sirve tampoco.
- JLJames LawlesSep 18, 20255.0Great experience here. Barbara was kind, knowledgeable and helpful, even her voice was joyful! The lobby was clean and comfortable and I was in and out in no time at all.
