They're supposed to have return bags available for people, but I've only ever seen them stock that stand once in the past 12 months I've been going there. Restock the return bags or take the stand away. Please gauge customer expectations and don't take it personal when you have to do your job and restock.
They don't have a window open for paid labels when the dropbox is stuck and doesn't open. Most of their tellers are not very friendly. Some are, but most are very unfriendly and worse: unhelpful.

I had an issue with a package that was shipped internationally, but with the wrong address, and I reached out to the post office for support and they made it incredibly easy and were very helpful. This hasn’t usually been the case with other locations, but they called me 4 times and kept me updated and intercepted the package on their own. I have had a couple of other issues in the past and this post office location was very helpful. They have twice called and assisted me before to help me locate other lost packages so I feel very fortunate! I recommend this station above others due to their customer service!
