Up until recently, I used to have the best interactions at this location. Unfortunately, my past two experiences here have been absolutely awful. Jasmine was incredibly rude, belittling, and had a terrible attitude when I had a question. It was one of the absolute worst customer services experiences I have ever had in my life. There have been many other lovely employees I’ve encountered in the past, but due to the negative experiences of these past two experiences, I will no longer be stopping at this location. Even though it is half a mile from my house, I would rather go out of my way to utilize a different location, after the mistreatment I experienced here.

You know the world is going to hell when you can’t even trust the post office during the holiday season! Someone in the USPS ripped open my delivery, punched a hole in an inner box, stole some items, taped it back up and sent it. It took 4 days to travel the 30 minutes from Grand Rapids to Middleville! Karma will repay you someday, but happy holidays; I hope you enjoy the things you stole.

My first in person mailing experience with USPS was 10/10. I send letters semi frequently but I’ve never had to mail a package here before. Dominque was so amazing, kind and patient with me. It not service you can count on these days, so I have to shout it out! Thanks again for a lovely interaction and easy mail experience! I love my local usps.
