- PMPatricia Mcpheron2 days ago5.0My mail carrier is great. Every time I have used this post office I have had great service even if sometimes lines might be long.
- SCSophia CarsonJan 2, 20261.0Workers are rude and rush you even when there is no one else there. Felt like I was inconveniencing the girl up front for bringing a package to mail??
- BSBrando SandovalDec 24, 20253.0As many issues as I have with this location ,Heather is the person holding this place together she is beyond kind and does her job to an exceptional level. I won't suggest using this location but If you do use it try and ask for Heather she is amazing!
- SOS OtavolDec 19, 20251.0Went to the clerk to ask about an undelivered package that was held at PO bc all my other packages were delivered & the clerk took my name & phone number & I never got a call back. Found out later that day my package was returned to sender. Damn clerks are so lazy to check their damn RFS or call the carriers. It’s your job!!!!
- SSS SDec 15, 20251.0The mail carriers love saying that my mail slot is VACANT. This is the 3rd time I've had to go into this location to inform them that I have been living there for 5mo now. Been waiting on my drivers license for about 2mo. Everything that I reorder my ID they put a slip in my mail box saying I need to verify my address, even though I have done it 3 times already. When going into this location all they say is that we'll speak with the driver and let them know that this Mail Slot if not VACANT. Unfortunately I get ads but when my bills or something else important is coming they put one of the VACANT red cards or green cards in my box. Went in today 0330pm 12.15.2025, waited in line for 40mins just to be told that they don't have slips to get my mail held! This is the worst location in ABQ.
