- TLTyler LarsenJan 11, 20232.0If you live in the city of Howard Lake and work a job, good luck getting your packages. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get them. USPS refuses to do door delivery and you’re forced to have a P.O. Box. I’ve had so many items get returned, refused to deliver to a P.O., or they’re there and they don’t put them in a locker and I’m stuck trying to get off work early, or wait a week until a Saturday to get them. I left two stars simply because the staff there is helpful. Whoever is in charge though is useless in getting this figured out.
- CWCarol WegnerNov 16, 20225.0Very friendly, helpful and caring employees. Always willing to assist you with getting larger packages loaded in your vehicle. Always willing to answer any questions you may have. Great facility 😊
