- TBT BryantDec 26, 20251.0I have watched the decline of this post office over the last year. I am pretty sure they are short staffed, leading to extremely long wait times, and one person at the counter doing passports and mailings. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!
- RPRonny PetrilloNov 22, 20251.0I grew up in Bloomfield and remember when this location was busy and welcoming. I just dropped off a package in an empty post office, and the three employees behind the glass were joking around and seemed annoyed that they had to assist. The woman who helped me didn’t wouldn’t speak to me directly, rolled her eyes as she stayed seated, and told her colleague, “Now he wants a receipt.” Ratchet as hell - avoid it if possible.
- RMRonaldo MartinNov 13, 20251.0Make sure to plan to spend your entire day here. Nice clerk though, extremely slow service.
- MMMark MurphyOct 20, 20251.0If there was a negative star option, I would rate them -99. For 6 years straight now, the mail arrives in-between 7pm and 9pm. It’s just acceptable at this point. How long is it going to take to realize you need to hire more staff. And they wonder why they have financial problems. Can’t even run an office. Can’t wait to move out of this town
- GCGS COct 11, 20251.0Bad service, they don’t have the proper packaging and stickers out of the counter. You have to wait in a long line to get told you have to fill out something that in other offices you don’t need to fill out then you have to wait at the back of a long line AGAIN. They should place the stickers and packaging everything outside. The wait time is just ridiculous also the customer service is awful
