Went at 4pm on a Monday, only one person in front of me. Good selection of mailers and staff was courteous.

Terrible service. The staff was extremely unprofessional and impatient when I asked basic questions about shipping. I felt disrespected and rushed throughout the interaction. This location clearly lacks proper customer service training. I will avoid coming here again and recommend others to use a different USPS branch.

Horrible service. Particularly from the older gentleman. I don't think I've ever met as rude of a USPS employee. This location also closes early randomly with no warnings quite often. With already restricted hours that are further cut without notice, no wonder there's "no lines." Community members cannot rely on this location for their needs.

I use this post office often, both on weekdays and weekends, and it's an overall great experience! The postal workers are fast, efficient, and kind. There's rarely a line.
