If you want your package to take a trip around the world before getting to you, this is the place. Youre better off walking your package to its destination. ITS FASTER AND SAFER!!! Horrible, horrible, horrible. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND

The people would get their mail so much faster, if it didn't have to come through this toilet! This hub is consistently losing mail, packages getting stolen, and a painfully slow process for every package being processed through here. I can only imagine what kind of negative energy oozes from this place.
