- PDPrincess DiorSep 13, 20252.0Every time I have a package that’s supposed to be sent to my address. The mail carrier will not deliver it to my door unless it will fit in the mailbox because he doesn’t wanna walk up the steps so every time I have to wait days on my package just to receive it and have to go out of my way to go pick up all of my packages
- CBCharlie BrownMar 19, 20245.0Parked directly out front. Gentlemen behind counter was very helpful on sending letter out prioritymail. Out the door in 5 min. Time of day, 11am
- NPNorCal ProfessionalJul 3, 20231.0Dishonest staff stole the items from our PO Box. Terrible hours of operations. This location is a stain on USPS's reputation and a prime example of a terrible government subsidized operarion.
- AKAshleigh KirbyOct 3, 20191.0Wow. Went on here to look for a phone number and am not surprised at all by all the terrible reviews. Packages delivered to our condo were put in the lock boxes and keys to access those were put in the wrong mailbox!!!! So it is entirely usps fault the package was given to the wrong person and the merchandise stolen. Also, I called numerous times today to have the carrier come out and open the other boxes to check for it and no one ever came when I was told TWICE someone was coming. If you can’t even put a key in the right mailbox you probably should look for other employment. I am very disappointed in our own United States Postal Service.... why would I ever mail anything when I can no longer entrust it will be delivered?!
