- DSDavid Senoff6 days ago5.0I love this USPS post office, since it has been remodeled and new staff has been posted to work there. As a PO Box holder, I interact with the staff a lot. They are always helpful, professional, and have a great attitude!
- JBJ BSep 30, 20251.0Just came here to drop off 2 packages and a sign on the door says ‘closed for lunch 2:15-3:45’
- SCSol Armada de la CruzJul 22, 20251.0Agreed with the other posts- at this point I’m convinced this is just window dressing . It is never open! 95% of the times I’ve tried to use - it’s closed. Random hours- I’ll swing by on a Tuesday at 11:00- closed, Wednesday at 3:00 - closed….. At this point this feels like a vanity project
- RBRain BlackJul 16, 20251.0Got here at 410pm and theyre closed.
- RMRaffi “Raffi Marhaba” MarhabaJul 11, 20251.0Worst post office in the neighborhood. The amount of times I’ve come at 4PM on a weekday and they decide to close. When. You confront them, they laugh! Worst of it all is the amount of elderly folks who get turned away after walking countless blocks in the cold or heat. Incredibly disrespectful. Don’t these folks have managers…? Or are the managers doing this clowning?
