- BBBeth BroganDec 19, 20255.0Postmaster was very nice.
- THTheresa Haffner-StearnsSep 9, 20255.0Awesome post office. It's always easy in and easy out!
- JMJonathan MooreNov 2, 20231.0I have sent several legal documents from this post office. The Staff are unhelpful and despite sending things certified, signature required, return receipt - documents keep going missing. The most recent I reached out to USPS main office for support - they located the document in Puerto Rico...It was supposed to go across town. I've had numerous problems with my PO box as well the local staff say one thing, then I get emails from USPS saying that local staff are wrong. Whenever possible, I'm taking my business to the UPS store.
- JHJeremy HansenDec 6, 20191.0Literally the laziest postal workers I've ever seen. Everywhere else I lived, USPS was better than any other shipping company. Now whenever I see something is shipping via USPS I k ow I'm not getting it on time, it at all. I am searching for ways to report this branch.
- EJElectronic JerntJun 21, 20181.0At 5:28 letting me know that their not taking anymore customers is fine, I get it. But before I even get close to the counter I get..(in a loud voice, and serious verbal attitude, topped with a sneer) : “I’m closed, I just let a lady run to her car for something, and that’s it !” I start to open my vocal chords to answer ..ok thanks.. but get cut short by her slapping down an out of line child “I can’t just keep taking people one after another, we’re closed !” Well spank me very much. I’ve never understood people who hate their jobs, or servicing customers as part of that job. But people like this USPS woman would rather spread her brand of miserable contingent to the world every day, then quit a high paying, great benefits, and sweet pension job at the post office. There’s no wondering why USPS runs billions in the red every quarter. Keep up the great service Bala...
