- HHHueIsJu?Dec 20, 20254.0Went in to ship a package today and minus the other customers who had more challenging/lengthly issues which made my wait time slightly longer, I was in and out. I’ve only been here twice, however the service is usually efficient and the two tellers I’ve encountered were kind.
- MSMolly SummersOct 22, 20255.0Super helpful and kind postman at this location
- RHRon HubbardAug 15, 20255.0Absolutely grateful to have Jay delivering mail to the 4900 block of Warrington avenue, I have been living here since 2003, and I'm happy to see that there is finally another mail carrier who will deliver mail to the second floor landing, which is my correct address! Kudos to Jay!!!
- DDDeborah DavisJul 25, 20251.0I am so disappointed. I got an email stating that my package was delivered on 7/24/25 at 3: 08 .I was sitting in my living room when the carrier arrived. He put my mail in the mail slot. He didn't leave a package. Why does the email state that that my package was left at my house. This isn't the first time this has happened. Last week one of my neighbors brought two packages that was left at her home. These young people need to stay off of their phones when they're working and pay attention to where they're leaving our mail.
