Was told my envelope was thicker than the required 1/4” to be delivered with regular postage. I reduced the volume of papers and measured with a micrometer, returned with the 3/16” thick envelope…. Was told the “envelope needs to pass and glide through the 1/4” of the plastic opening guide without being pushed through”… I researched the usps and that’s simply not the case…. This is not the first time I had to deal with incompetence at this facility…. 0 stars if I could rate them that…. Apparently, these guys have earned their subpar 2.7 stars and I’m not the only dissatisfied customer…

They continuously keep putting my packages in a communial box that the package is clearly too large to fit in. Therefore my packages get stuck and I have to wait for them to come back and place it on my doorstep. I get this package every month, it is not hard to walk 100ft to leave it at my door. Just laziness if you ask me.

Honestly one of the best USPS locations I've been to. The staff are always cheerful & friendly. They've always been able to help me quickly. It certainly helps the experience more pleasant.
Lines can build up easily here, but usually you get through pretty quick.
