Okay, the PHONE service is abysmal (not this location’s fault, it’s USPS’s fault in general), but I went there on a Thursday morning to send some money checks. A man and a woman were working there, and they were the sweetest. Thank you for a smooth and easy interaction! Date went: 7/15. Please give them a raise or something. I was extremely nervous sending out money and they reassured me and helped me through the whole process. Everything worked out perfectly.
