- SPStacie PeckelsJan 5, 20261.0Rude employees and slow service.
- JHJim HughesAug 11, 20221.0I'm not going to go too deep into the weeds on this review. Simply put, I paid for 2 day delivery on a letter that took a week to be delivered. I Stoped by the PO to discuss and I was told by the employee "Nothing makes sense around here". I guess that sums up the United States Post Office!
- CGCole GundersonDec 23, 20211.0I’ve honestly never been treated so poorly. Employees seem like they want to cause issues instead of helping people. 0/5
- MTMckenzie TollefsonAug 20, 20205.0Wonderful staff, very efficient and timely.
