Very unhelpful. Package was delivered but couldn't get my package because the person who sorts the packages wasn't there today.

Poor customer service, slow service - needs more employees. Takes anywhere from 10-40 mins to do a simple task in here. We don’t mind the drive to UPS to avoid this place

Has to be some of the most unhelpful employees I have ever met and they all have attitudes. I have mailed multiple packages from UPS and i have mailed packages via this very same USPS to my home town address and now they are telling me I can’t mail any packages there and that they can’t find the address since it doesn’t exist even though my parents still live there to this day. This place needs to be permanently closed or some type of change in management needs to occur. Look at the 5+ years of reviews and you’ll see nothing has changed for the only post office available to our service members on base.
