- KMKorie MithunJul 15, 20251.0800 number sucks I just wanted to talk to my local post office to find out more about my mail.
- LTLisa TwymanMay 23, 20255.0The window personnel are always happy & helpful
- SQSusie Q1497May 10, 20251.0Under any other circumstances I would give a five + star rating. Today I'm disappointed. I don't think my regular mail carrier came today. I went and bought a box full of food for the "Help Stamp Out Hunger" program. May 10th I had it sitting out under my mailbox. I clearly labeled the box. The mail came, the box is still sitting there. What's the point of the program?
- TRTyf RobertsJun 11, 20211.0I frequently receive mail addressed to completely different addresses & the postal workers that answer the phone at the office are completely unprofessional.
