- SPSrikanth PappuJun 13, 20241.0My experience with USPS has been frustrating due to their consistent imposition of unnecessary tracking fees, which are quite high. Despite the availability of First Class Mail, which other USPS locations honor, this particular branch insists on charging for tracking. Transparent and fair pricing is essential for customer satisfaction, but the person working there is uninformed about packaging requirements and insists that tracking is mandatory. I have shipped the same items from the Forest Ave USPS store almost a dozen times without encountering these issues.
- HAHARVEY ANTONApr 29, 20241.0In life it is very important to, at the very least, NOT hate what you do for a living. Can we PLEASE get a carrier who doesn’t HATE his job!!!!! Why choose this line of work if it makes you obviously miserable. Missing packages, wrong mail delivery, anger and frustration!
- ABAnastasiya BaberSep 25, 20205.0I LOVE my little post office! I bought stamps there, and in my Covid haze, left them on the counter. When I got home I had every intention of driving back to get them, but you know...mom life! Over a month later (way past the time when any reasonable person would have collected them), a letter arrived from the post office, with, you guessed it, my stamps inside. Thanks guys!!
