- HMHarry Miller4 days ago2.0Rude and unaccommodating. I recommend going somewhere else.
- NBNathan BartosDec 22, 20253.0The people who work here are nice and helpful, and things are well-stocked. However, this location is Deeply in-need of more staff or, at the very least, a self-service kiosk. The line is Frequently 6-10 customers deep with only one clerk working, which can take 30-45 minutes to get to the front. Begging for a self-service kiosk, especially when I need to scan a simple QR code to ship something out. Fund and staff this properly!!!

- TRTyler RobartJul 19, 20255.0This is the BEST USPS location around, we live closer to the Eastern location but that location is NOT good, i drive out of my way to come here instead because the staff is always incredibly nice, helpful, and patient. This location is always stocked with stuff you might need, and always clean!
