I love this Post Office! All the postal personnel are very friendly and helpful. They have been inundated with all the Amazon packages that UPS now refuses to deliver to a local large development. So they are doing Amazon's deliveries in their own personal vehicles just to try and get them out. This is way beyond what they should have to be doing. With Hurricane Helene and having to work out of a mail truck for months, and then being bombarded with all these extra packages -- they deserve a medal! Thank you for all that you do! #KindnessMatters

Wonderful people, both at the counters and in the facility and also delivering the packages. I have seen only friendly and thoughtful people here who go out of their way to be both helpful and nice. The efficiency here us also outstanding. USPS deals with alot of packages and sometimes it's easy to get frustrated if things don't go perfectly but here are the best people trying their hardest to do things in the kindest and most efficient way possible.

If I could do zero stars believe me I would. They fail to deliver packages that they can easily leave on the doorstep or mailbox due to a dog that isn’t mine. Then, they leave notes saying they missed us even though they could have just left the package. Not to mention my package was torn apart when I went to pick it up from the post office. Apparently they “don’t know” what happened to my package.

No real number to reach the building, just automated service. Almost impossible to talk to a person with no option for it. You just have to yell “agent!” A thousand times till the computer finally
