- FAFatuma AbdisalanNov 2, 20255.0It’s so amazing the customer service is top tier
- TSTomo SatoSep 15, 20255.0I know reviews tend to be biased based on bad experiences, while people with good experiences won't do that for services like the USPS (they only might do it for a restaurant, for example). I use (receive a lot, and I feel really bad for my mailman) this USPS location and I would say given the number of high density buildings, tough local traffic and parking, lots of building security codes, and all that, they do a great job. If you go slightly off hours (like 11am), there is almost never a line, and service is very efficient and professional. With "missing packages", one should consider if this location is responsible, if the shipper's handwriting was legible (or printed label visible if toner is running out) or it wasn't package theft. Overall, especially in the past half a year, I've had great service from them.
- MRM RAug 27, 20251.0Huge line because they had one (1) guy working. When I got to the front he tried to tell me my envelope was a package because it didn’t fit through the slot. When I took it and literally did it in front of his eyes, he just told me to go to another post office. Line is basically out the door at this point. Ridiculous.
- JCJustina ColemanAug 26, 20251.0In the last year several of my packages from Amazon and Walmart are missing photos of the packages on the counter and delivery spoke to person at the counter. I received notice of Package being delivered but when I go in to pick up package it is missing???
- MEMitchel EnglandAug 5, 20251.0So slow and didn’t help people who were waiting
