I have had a PO Box at this location for many years and I do go in occasionally for other services. It is usually ok, but in the past six months I have had two interactions which were very sub par. The first was when I went to find out about shipping my mom's ashes from the US to Poland. USPS is the only currier able to do it and I went into the office to find out more information. The person at the counter had no idea what I was talking about and went to check in "the back" only to come back and tell me they do not perform such a service. That's totally incorrect and I was able to ship my mom's ashes from a different location without any problems. The second time was when I went in to send a letter via first class mail with a receipt of sending. The lady at the counter barely spoke english and had no idea what I was asking for.

After a great experience at the Lake
Grove post office, I was referred over to this location for passport services. There was no one in line but I felt like I was a bother. They gave me zero direction and rushed me out. Odd experience!

This location has an after-hours package shipping kiosk. Unfortunately, when I stopped by to use it it was “currently not available”. Bummer!
