Will always go to the post office from now on…they know their jobs, help you find solutions to problems you encounter, and helped me track down a valuable missing package. Service with Kiki 10/10.

If your packages come through this post office, USE ANOTHER CARRIER SERVICE. Tell anyone sending you anything to not send it through USPS. They lose packages and mark them as delivered. It happened to me, my sister-in-law, and apparently other people here leaving reviews. I wish I would have known before giving my address to people for the holidays. They have the most unhinged mail carries I’ve ever experienced. They will mark it as delivered even if they didn’t then will be no help at all with figuring out what happened.

I forgot to put my unit number when ordering a package, and they were super helpful on the phone and called the delivery driver to sort it out. Thank you so much!

I was a little worried about having a passport appt here given the reviews but Mr. Andre is so helpful! He is thorough, patient, and truly there to help you and do things the right way. I needed things expedited via a hand carry so it was a slightly complex appt but he made sure I got everything I needed from start to finish and explained each step. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because their camera and copy machine were down (late Oct). Me and the appt behind me had to go elsewhere to get our photos done. When I initially checked in, the woman at the front (who I think is Kiki) was friendly and told me I could get my photo done across the street at UPS but when I went their printer was jammed. Mr Andre actually called me while I was at UPS because he found out Kiki had sent me over there and let me know that UPS wasn't working but there is a camera store like 3 minutes down the road. I got my photo done there in less than 10 minutes, came back and finished my appt. Mr. Andre wrote down the number and info for the camera store so he could send people to the right place. All in all I had a lovely experience despite the photo blip. If you come prepared with all your information and only follow Mr. Andre's instructions you'll be fine.
