I can only assume that they have new personnel because the service I received EXCEEDED my expectations. The gentleman I spoke with was both kind and knowledgeable.

I recently had to go into the office & what a wonderful group of people. I had the opportunity to meet Erik. What a fine young man. He was very pleasant and helpful. Thank you Erik for all your help.

The staff had a very good attitude, but their professionalism was lacking. I was sending an international package, and He didn’t ask me which shipping method I wanted. He went ahead and used Priority Mail International without consulting me. When I asked if I could use First-Class Package International Service instead, he told me it wasn’t allowed — that First-Class Package International Service could only be used with envelopes.
The next day, I went to a different post office to send another international package and found out that there is no such rule! Because of their misinformation, I ended up paying almost twice as much for the shipment.
