- KSkris schrantzOct 24, 20255.0Great office
- SSsunnymoon55Nov 4, 20191.0I have to say that I haven’t had issues with the clerks inside, always nice and helpful! But I was waiting for 2 packages and I was told that the carrier was from somewhere else and because it was dark she may have missed my packages but the lady I spoke with said she had just called all carriers in 6pm and my stuff would be delivered tomorrow! I then ask how the dark was a problem if the truck had lights and she said it may be scattered all over the truck! I can’t even believe she would say this! I’m so unhappy and this location had the 7 Local news report On how bad they are cause of People not getting mail!!! Still the same thing! I’m filling a report!
- EVExicco VirtusMay 13, 20171.0Rude people and horrible service. There's no point in paying for express shipping because if they don't feel like delivering it, they won't. Half of the time we get someone else's mail and they refuse to leave my packages when I'm not home despite specific instructions to do so. Horrible, horrible, horrible!!
