- MLMegan LDec 2, 20211.0The dark haired older lady that works the front desk is extremely rude and unhelpful EVERY time I’m here. Someone who seems to truly hate her job, herself, or just people in general. I try to avoid needing to go inside because of the poor customer service.
- JSJason SandvosSep 5, 20202.0I don't really have anything bad to say about the post office itself as I tend to not go in there. However, their delivery person needs to pay more attention. In the year and a half I have lived in this town, I just had to get a package from the next block over for the 4th time. This time I also had their package. Fortunately they are good people and just as easily said no they didn't get it. As someone who spent several years in the delivery business, this is unacceptable. If you get mail delivered out of this office, make sure you always use insurance as you may not be as lucky as i am.
