I had a pretty good experience at this post office. The attendant was nice, and I was able to get in and get out fairly quickly, which doesn't always happen at the post office.

SMH, they have lost 2 packages of mine already. Because of them, I now lost inventory and owe fees on eBay because they are incompetent and can’t ship out a package correctly.

Can't go there on the way to work because it opens late cant go on the way home from work because it closes too early.

Very little if any wait time. I need not be amazed by decor. Fast and friendly unlike the dumpster fire on 14th.
