- JZJesse ZeitzNov 11, 20252.0I waited in line for 45 minutes and still did not receive service there was a new employee working the counter without any help
- LRLisa Losada RojasNov 4, 20255.0I understand complaints on long queues because the place is very understaffed. But I want to recognize the person who was in the counter on 11/04/25, Larry, I believe, who went above and beyond helping a non-English speaker understand their services. He uses his phone to translate and then showed the translation, so the costumer could understand what he needed! Thank you, Larry, for making this USPS office a place where people can find what they needed!
- SMSmiles MartinOct 25, 20251.0Terrible attitude from post worker Andrew he was native American and wearing a mask. Wasn't willing to help me ship my documents properly and saw the lack of passion from this employee. It was almost 3 and more than ready to go home.
- AEAndrew EllisOct 14, 20251.0Thus place is a joke. The staff is rude and unfriendly. The delivery drivers can't even do their job correctly an deliver a package or even the correct mail to the right place. This place needs to be reformed an workers need to be trained better
- KMKimberly N MorrisAug 21, 20251.0Terrible customer service. If you receive notification from usps that your package is ready for pickup, don’t count on it. Every time I’ve had to deal with my local post office I always leave incredibly frustrated, I will go out of my way to use other services like FedEx
