Ms. Bijoya at USPS was very professional, friendly, and efficient when helping me mail my letter. After paying, the rating machine malfunctioned and I accidentally pressed the angry face, but I actually meant to select the happy face! I look forward to receiving Ms. Bijoya’s excellent service again next time.

I love how this lady in the picture decided to push the smiley face for me on the kiosk when I asked me how the service was and didn’t even give me a chance to answer the question before she put pretty much five stars. She was on her cell phone, the whole time super ignorant, and they wonder why people don’t like this location because the staff!!!

The worst possible USPS location of all times. The entire staff here, specifically the managers are extremely rude and useless. Refused to do absolutely anything for a lost/misdelivered package by their employees.

Saturday 18 October 8 pm. The self service automated postal center on 54th street is closed despite the fact it says here “we are now open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week”. Can the post office explain its opening times ?
