- BPBryan PhillipsSep 2, 20255.0Best office, love cation and the regular staff is so great
- LSLinda StoneAug 30, 20255.0Best post office. Best customer service. ❤️
- SWSarah WAug 2, 20255.0I needed to send some books media rate, but I haven’t sent packages through USPS in a while and was unfamiliar and unsure about the process. The woman behind the counter was incredibly patient and helped me out in correctly addressing my package and finding a way to print my pre-paid label (FYI, no printer here but if you have a QR code from Click-N-Ship they can scan it and print the label themselves). They were also managing the line efficiently on a Friday afternoon close to closing and kept everything moving. All the packages I sent arrived in one piece. This is hands down the best experience I have ever had at any USPS location. Editing to add: I came again to mail another package, and the same fantastic person helped me find the most affordable shipping option and was patient while I figured out my shipping address. I had tried to mail this same thing at FedEx the day before but couldn’t because I didn’t have my ID on me— so glad, because this was $5 cheaper for a faster and more convenient experience. I love this post office.
- EYElizabeth YangAug 21, 20231.0Has been closed both times I visited (both were when it was supposedly open).
- KAk.niruntasukrat old accountDec 4, 20171.0I went to this USPS on Dec 4,2017 at around 9.00am. The female employee was so rude and unhelpful at all. I suggest you to go to USPS at 31 Milk St Lbby, Boston, MA 02109 instead. That usps got low reviews, but trust me it's better than this usps.
