- BWBob Wilke6 days ago5.0Awesome service, had a package go from my city to here, and I was able to drop by and they released the package to me. Saved me a couple days. Very helpful and friendly
- DNdave newmanSep 22, 20254.0Always very helpful and have never had a bad experience there. We are fortunate to have a PO here in Placitas....
- FCfillingourbucket chip&ruthJul 11, 20255.0We are traveling the country and have visited and used general delivery at many locations, Placitas is by far our favorite. James and Kimberly go above and beyond with their friendly service.
- JTJean Thomsen-YouelJun 19, 20254.0Depending on who is working on any given day, the employees are either gracious or churlish. I always hope that the lovely brunette woman will help me but she only subs now and even that is unfortunately rare. As a resident of Ranchos de Placitas, the nearby post office is extremely convenient but it’s a drag to be nervous about who may be behind the counter. 08/03/25 After posting this review for the Placitas Post Office a while ago, I am amending my previous comment. I’m happy to report that the churlishness has finally subsided.
- SBSarah BleusOct 13, 20201.0Terrible customer service; the man who works there is rude and acts as if he is being inconvenienced. Had to drive to Bernalillo post office to get my questions answered. They were much more professional and helpful there. Although I live 5 minutes from Placitas post office, I will never go back unless this guy is replaced.
