- BRBrandon ReillyOct 9, 20255.0Step on up to the happy window. Your soul will be transported even further than your international package to grandma in Tajikistan by the loving spirit of the staff here. No frowns. Just love faith and hope allowed in these parcels!
- JYJason YarnMar 19, 20251.0Just went over at 9:30am on a Wednesday and it wasn't open. Not sure what the hours of operation are, but it's not 9:00am.
- JPJasmina PurisicJun 5, 20245.0I work nearby and needed to mail something important today, a weekday around 10:30 a.m. There were a couple customers in there, but no line. The lady at the counter (didn't catch her name unfortunately) was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. No small talk, just business. Exactly how I like it. I was out within 3 or 4 minutes.
- HSHarley SimpsonFeb 2, 20231.0Do not come here if you have anywhere to be in the same day.
- JZJonathan ZalkOct 2, 20151.0So damn Slow. They only had one person working at the window (if you call that working). She moved at a 🐌 snail's pace and the line backed up 15 deep. Needless to say it took 23 minutes to buy stamps!! Just Stamps!! Worse than the DMV that day. So be prepared ....... You might want to Pack a light lunch for your wait in line.
