- TWTheresa WorkmanSep 9, 20255.0I've deliver about 2-3 packages a month and every time I go here I'm always welcomed by a staff worker, who are very helpful and patient with me and all my random questions. They are hardly ever busy so I'm always in and out within 5 minutes or less. They close for an hour everyday between 11:30-12:30. I'm assuming it's for their lunch. It would be nice if they stayed open later maybe one or two evenings during the week. But other than that I have no complaints about the post office. Keep up the good work!
