- MKMargo Kot6 days ago1.0There is always just one person working and will take a break with 10+ people waiting on line. You have to wait in the endless line even if you are just dropping off, even if you already have postage. There is a line no matter what time of the day. It is the absolute worst location to visit and no matter how many people complain or how many times I’ve asked for more employees to work the windows, nothing changes. If you can avoid it, please do!
- STSerena TsangDec 31, 20251.0The wait times are always god awful at any USPS location but at least most of them have the self service machines or a section where you can drop off a package and leave. This place has neither. There is always 1-2 clerks only and at least clerk walks off to the back or does other stuff when there are like 10 people on line leaving you with no clerks for 5-10 minutes. This place desperately needs at least 2 self service machines and drop off area of they aren't going to hire more people.
- CVCamila VDec 15, 20251.0This post office is terrible. There is literally one clerk every time I come to this post office. I do not know where management is.
- NDNira DNov 28, 20251.0Absolute worst post office. Lazy workers and inefficient. They do not care about the customers at all and will disappear to the back for 15- 20 minutes even when they know people are waiting on line. If you want to avoid high blood pressure avoid going to this one.
- BDBeatrice D.Nov 20, 20251.0I'm currently on line waiting with 7 more people waiting as well. One person is working and she disappeared for 20min already, second person working left for a break. Seriously?
