- SLSamantha LaranjoOct 11, 20251.0I try to avoid this post office mostly because of the woman at the front desk. Every time I have been there she is SO rude. It’s actually a shame that our local post office has employees that are this miserable.
- SPStephane PotvinSep 9, 20241.02 of my amazon packages were redirected to the post office, since the state park was closed . When i went on Monday , the clerk was un helpful : we don't have that address , they can't send to that address, we don't have that package. After insisting it was a larger box, she finally found them. Thanks Missy for maintaining the reputation of postal workers.
