- ADAlicia DionnaJul 7, 20251.0Unprofessional staff
- ADAna Natalia DosalJun 23, 20255.0First time getting a passport here! The service was so wonderful, there was only one woman working the front and even with a line she was so kind and made the process super easy and speedy!!! I would definitely recommend coming here!! Especially for a passport!!
- BNBonnie NelsonJun 16, 20251.0This has to be the worst post office ever. Wish I could give zero stars. Several of my important packages have been delivered to a PO Box which I don’t own. You call to speak to someone and they just tell you anything. “Oh it’s in route on the truck on its way to you”. Meanwhile your package was delivered to the wrong address and they’re telling you anything. Clearly these people don’t care where they deliver your packages to. I have packages coming from Las Vegas Nevada and never have any issues with it getting to Pittsburgh until it gets to this post office. Unreal!!!
- TSTyler SedlockMay 9, 20251.0Always supported USPS as a small business owner. About 3x a week I send out my mail first class around and that’s around 70 cents to 1.40. Now I can’t mail anything for under $5.
