- HKHawraa KobaisiOct 29, 20255.0Excellent service from Adrian. Always helpful with my mail.
- JBJanet BarnesNov 1, 20221.0Awful experience, rude staff and endless delays with my packages
- VDVan DarkholmeMay 31, 20225.0I wrote a bad review here about lost packages, but turned out the delivery center is the one on Carnegie Dr. My bad. Folks here are nice.
- MLMarie LevineJul 10, 20211.0I tried repeatedly to renew our USPS box over the phone and internet. No luck, they never answer their phone, and since we've had the USPS box nearly 30 years, the email address the USPS still has on file is no longer used. My car is in the shop so I can't even get to the PO - Very frustrated. Our post office is located on Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542
