Worst post office. Every time I come I have to wait 40 mins to do a 2 minute transaction because is only one person at the window. It does not matter that the lady apologizes for the wait and has good customer service the fact that a whole hour break goes out the window when stopping here to do any transaction is insane.

One of those post offices that makes you think, “Hey, maybe privatizing USPS isn’t such a bad idea after all.” One employee at the counter in the middle of the afternoon, with a long line of customers waiting for service. Just … lame.

Never a full staff no matter what time of the day it is or what day of the week it is . You will be online for 30 minutes or more any time you visit . They need to hired more people .
