There's so many people trying to maintain a groomed lawn and spend alot of money into doing so, but the Mail carriers just trample across your lawn as if they don't care. I wish they would respect people's property and use the walkway or the sidewalk or the driveway to deliver the Mail.

Hostile, rude and incompetent. Packages “disappeared “ and it’s my fault? Don’t go here if you need any kind of assistance whatsoever, you will get a nasty, defensive and dismissive attitude.

Worst post office I've ever been to. Horrible service and I don't know if it's because of the location, but if your an establishment you have to have people working that's willing to help instead of stand around and do nothing and act unwilling to help.
