The very first time I ever went to this post office was with my sister and we drove there, we did not know about the towing policy and parked in the parking lot, shortly after we were waiting for their post office window to reopen from lunch, Hal (has the personality of a brick wall) pulls the window open and immediately starts telling us that he called a tow truck and we are going to get towed, no warning at all, my sister and I just played that off and got our order shipped. I revisited this post office a couple days ago to ship out depop orders and it was Hal, I made sure to do every label individually because I feared that the labels would get messed up and they did! I got a message from a buyer on depop that they received the wrong order when I know that I did everything individually, that same day Hal was being racist and rude, mocking Chinese people and complaining about how he has to do his job which is shipping out orders!!!!! I’m not happy with the customer service at this place whatsoever and they should not be running if no employee can tell you to have a good day, that’s completely uncalled for and just rude. Will not be coming back here at all, you guys should be ashamed.

Useless. Brought a stack of mail in that was mistakenly delivered to my house. They told me to go to Glenville. Why??? They don't deliver mail, they won't return mail to sender. I'm confused as to the point of this post office.

Trash USPS, employees are disgustingly rude, and never answers phones. Called them September 8th 2023 at 2:15PM so whatever man that was working at this time and date was horribly rude and shouldn’t be working a job where it is customer facing.

Employee refused to sell stamps because I didn't know the exact weight of my envelopes. Just trying to mail some cards made of paper, not sheets of osmium. Mind blowing, I'll get my stamps elsewhere.
