- MSmatthew springerSep 20, 20221.0The lady here seemed like a Karen, what post office doesn’t have a photo copier? The other one I went to that wouldn’t take walk ins said that any post office could just copy your photo ID & passport there. I went last week and the old dude called me at like 10:59, 1 minute before my appointment to let me know the guy wasn’t in today to do the passport sworning. Can’t believe I’m leaving a review about a post office but use the place on N. Pleasant. They’re probably more organized, I wouldn’t trust this place handling my mail.

- DHD.A. HardieJan 6, 20171.0Rudest post office ladies around. They are the most restentful and curt women for having to actually do their job and help customers--you would think they weren't getting paid...I rather spend my day at the RMV then wait in line to deal with these women***Particuarly the women who works 1st desk during the week. I have been contemplating filing a complaint with this post office--the woman at the 1st desk is just that mean. I ship things quite frequently, and on numerous occasions I have been nagged me for wanting a receipt for a package to verify the post office received it. Apparently, they don't think that me needing proof of receipt is necessary just because I print my shipping label online, but they are in no position to tell me that I can just leave my package at the "drop off counter" repeatedly after I repeatedly tell them I actually need a proof of receipt that they received the pacakage. Oh the scowls I get--who knew checking in a package and printing a receipt was so hard.
