I’ll say that this is possibly the nicest woman behind the counter and most helpful that I have met since moving to North Louisiana. The mail service will be the mail service and there’s not much you can do about it from time to time. However, this woman certainly had the opportunity to act like she just wanted to go home for the day and she certainly did not. One of the kindest people that I have met. I just wish I knew your name to put you in here. Thank you so much. You guys keep up the great work and the small town service.

I’ve lost 4 packages from this USPS, the person who works here is rude and doesn’t care to help when a package comes or is lost. The mail truck drivers are incredibly rude, upon asking why my package hasn’t arrived they scoff and drive off.
