I have never experienced anything like I have in the 3 years I’ve been in this zip code yet alone the 35 years on earth. Never have I ever had complaints about the USPS till moving here. Most of my Mail for 3 years has either been lost or they constantly intercept my Mail and force me to come pay to receive it. They are never friendly , again I’ve been here for 3 years and even the Mail man won’t say hi back. Just looks at me, node the back to work. The only things that has been personally commute me is “you have to pay to receive your mail.” Something is not right here!!!!!!!

If your mail is stuck at one point and there is a delay with no movement, they can't help you with anything. They won't provide any information and there is no way to know what happened to your mail. I was just told to forget about my mail! Their investigation support and service is garbage. Horrible. Never again!

I use this Post Office a lot and have never had an issue. Very friendly helpful staff. Can get busy, but they do a good job of handling it.
