Worst post office in Albuquerque. The old, fake blond female postal worker has awful customer service skills. Clearly unhappy with her job but unfortunately not the customers fault, I was just there to ship my items. Will definitely stick to the other post office locations in town.

Easy parking for my large truck.
It was busy when I arrived but cleared out fast. The only holdup was my being somewhat unprepared. When I was ready, the line had lengthened, but again, moved quickly. Both ladies at the front desk were cheerful, friendly and overall it was a pleasant experience.

Had a lost package and the nice blond gal was able to help me. She was very straightforward and to the point.
