- SBSamantha BlackmonDec 6, 20251.0Mail Carrier’s actions were intentional and malicious when he/she decided to place two identical advertisement magazines in my mailbox after previously writing on another piece of mail REFUSED/RETURN TO SENDER with an arrow pointing to the returned address. Simply follow the instructions instead of being vindicated and petty. I do not want my mailbox to be inundated and overflowing with unnecessary mail that does not have my name on it. I filed a formal complaint by phone.
- RCRoberta ChamberlinDec 18, 20204.0The downtown branch has one of the most lovely and ornate lobbies in which to wait. The clerks were cordial and did their best to accommodate me on my scheduled appointment after a 30" snowfall and shut down due to weather the day before.
- HRHarley RedlinSep 29, 20195.0It’s a post office. Come here if you need to mail something important.
- XXXbeaumonsFeb 6, 20191.0This post office is the absolute worst. Didn't deliver my package to my front door. Placed it elsewhere and claimed it was delivered. Courier couldn't even find my package where they supposedly placed it!! They're not even trying to do anything about my lost package besides contacting the seller.
- HLHope LanceyAug 16, 20181.0Mail man don't even pick up out going mail an I'm on the phone now waiting for someone to pick up you have to wait an hour on the phone for customer service this is rediculous
