- DRDray RayFeb 17, 20241.0By far the worst shipping place iv’e ever stepped foot in. Workers seem like they hate their lives. Ill leave my packages for the carrier pigeons outside.
- DSDustin SteinbachDec 1, 20181.0I've used the USPS all over this great nation without any problems until this area. Horrible service, poor attitudes. I do all I can to avoid using them.
- PWPhillip “Chewy” WhitfieldJan 20, 20171.0Terrible service! The counter people are incompetent, every time we go in there to mail a package there is always an issue and a long wait. I would like to note that I do not ever have issues using UPS or FEDEX for similar items. I'm done with the post office DONE!
