- MDMolly Dobkin2 days ago1.0I asked the teller what stamps they had for sale. He said, “I’m sorry, I don’t have any stamps.” At the post office. I didn’t even bother to question it, because this is a notoriously bad post office.
- LCLouise CastellanoNov 15, 20251.0After my experience today, maybe privatizing the USPS is the way to go. Time to pay for a UPS P.O. Box. I’d rather spend money than rely on this post office.
- BSBair SaganovNov 5, 20251.0Terrible service — I’ve never experienced anything like it in my life. I approached the service window, and not only was the employee not working but chatting with his friend, he also couldn’t understand the document I brought to open a box. Failing to do his job, he told me I had to wait until he was ready to call me because he was talking to his buddy. There wasn’t a single person in line. Absolutely incompetent.
- LSLev S.Oct 8, 20251.0Postmen don't care about your package. They leave a non-existent note in an unsafe location, and you'll have to go to the post office to pick it up.
- LJLuka JaparidzeSep 24, 20251.0This post office is characterized by very poor service. After waiting for 35 minutes, clerk number 30 finally showed up at the counter, by which time a long line had already formed in the hall. The clerk refused to accept cash for sending a letter, saying “I don’t serve cash, only debit cards,” and even refused credit cards. He told me to leave and come back with a card. He did not redirect me to another clerk, even though that one was accepting cash as usual. They didn’t even have a single pen available. It is a disgraceful office, with disgraceful employees who could barely hide their joy at having an excuse to turn me away. Hopefully, the post office will switch entirely to electronic service. And they should also dismiss the targeted hire employees, who clearly have no desire to work in the first place.
