- DDDan DSep 3, 20252.0Open 9-5 with lunch from 12-1:30. No one with a job can use this post office.
- CFCheryl FreemanAug 13, 20254.0The staff that help me with my packages have been very efficient and friendly. Only problem I have with the E. Arl branch is that sometimes they are closed for an hour or so in the afternoon. (Now I know to go before 1PM) Arlington is lucky to have two post offices within a mile 1/2 of each other, though, so if I don't have time to come back to this small Post Office, I can go to the main one.
- KFKatelyn FoppeAug 4, 20255.0Kind fast easy parking
