- JBJon BarberDec 22, 20251.0One of the worst post offices I've ever been to. There's no sign outside so it's hard to find. The clerk presents you with terrible options to mail anything. It doesn't even make sense, you can't mail anything here even a letter for less than $12. I think she just makes up the prices hoping people leave. They take so long time fo everything and act bothered by it. It has been this way for years, too. The post office in Bloomfield is 100x better

- GBGenevieve BarbeeJul 27, 20154.0NOTE: THEY CLOSE AT 4:30 NOW. Great location, not great hours. If you drive it might be worth taking the trip to Bloomfield.
