If I could give zero stars I would. As a local business owner, who literally uses the post office every single day, I am appalled by the way I was treated at your location. And what’s worse is I witnessed a couple ahead of me be treated even worse than I was. All I wanted was a receipt for the packages I was dropping off. The clerk acted like it was the worst thing I could’ve asked for. Clerk 5 told me that it’s a counter and we are not supposed to be dropping packages off to her. She told me this as she was scanning my packages and then literally throwing them in the box as I watched her do it. Said We are supposed to leave them at the window. There is no kiosk for me to personally scan them and get my own receipt so I actually need the clerk to scan them for me.. because as a business, I need that receipt to show not only proof to my buyers that the package was dropped at the post office on time, but also as a receipt for tracking my mileage. After reading reviews, I see that it’s not just a bad day she had but more an issue she has with scanning packages and giving people receipts. If your location does not want to hand scan packages when they are delivered to the post office then you guys need to get a kiosk where customers can do it themselves or retrain your clerk on how to do her job. I have never been treated so poorly by a post office in my life and like I said, I go to the post office daily. The post office up here in Shelby is freaking wonderful! Always asking me if there’s more they can do for me and they love having my business. Hart post office is likewise wonderful and Hesperia workers are hands down the best. If anyone needs another more friendly location, I suggest anywhere except here.

I stopped in today 06/03/2025 to drop off 2 packages that I had ready to go. Clerk walked up and greeted me and asked if I was dropping off, I replied with a smile "Yes and could I have a receipt please?". The clerk lost her mind over me politely asking for a receipt. She turned to her computer, scoffed at me and shook her head. Confused as to what I had done to illicit such a response I asked if it was a problem that I wanted a receipt. She replied "Nope." with an attitude. Then proceeded to tell me it's no different than if you just leave them on the counter and that everything gets scanned. I explained that the receipt is my proof to the buyer that I dropped the packages off. She of course gave me more attitude and had a disgusted look on her face. I asked if she was having a bad day and she again replied "Nope" with a pissed off sour look on her face. I've been dropping packages off here off and on for a couple years, I usually deal with someone else who didn't appear to be there today. I've never been treated like this over simply wanting a receipt. I made sure to leave appropriate feedback using the qr code on my receipt.
