The WORST postal office ever. They are always so moody and rude. They don’t even try to help you out. The older Asian man is always giving you attitude.

This is the worst post office that I have ever seen, and it all seems to be that way because of the guy who is stationed at the very last station at the far end inside the post office. I have been a box customer for over a decade, and this guy has been consistently a nasty person for the entire time. He once told me an important package that I personally sent to myself (a giant typewriter) was not there, and 8 months later another worker there got it for me, and told me it had been there for months, and EVERYONE knew about it because it had a giant picture on the box of a typewriter. So, basically this guy lied to me on purpose for no good reason . I have seen him treat customer after customer with disrespect or just plain mean and nastiness. I pray every time I have to go inside for some reason, that he is not there, and maybe he retired by now.

Wish I didn't have to get my mail and packages through them. They either are super late, don't come at all. Also leave the missed you slips when I'm always home and they never knock. Very unprofessional and 95% of the carriers don't do their jobs!!! Photo below shows how packages are delivered when they feel like delivering.
