- SNSimon Navarro1 day ago5.0Very helpful people, never had a problem!! Thank you guys for your hard work!!!
- JDJames Dean4 days ago5.0Been going to the Melear location since I moved to Arlington in 1998 and have never had any problems. Quite the opposite, they are always courteous and helpful. A lot of these bad reviews have nothing to do with this location.
- CLCorey Lark4 days ago5.0Was double checking hours and was shocked this location has such a low rating. As a Depop seller, I find myself here often and the employees are ALWAYS efficient, kind, personable, and professional. On one visit, I witnessed the man who works there (guy who always wears a hat) treat a 90-year-old man with such beautiful care and patience, making him feel seen and not rushing him along. The woman with fierce style and amazing glasses who usually sits far left always remembers me, asks how business is, and seems to genuinely care. She leaves me smiling every time. Most of my interactions are with them (really need to learn their names) and I truly appreciate their attitudes and customer service. This isn’t my closest USPS but I choose to keep going back because of them. So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving next week, just wanted to share my experience, express gratitude, and shout out the employees that keep the post office from being an errand I dread.
- DCDarrell CrawfordNov 14, 20251.0Ignorance at its finest
- ASAnnette StephensOct 30, 20255.0This place gets a bad rap I see, but I went in today and the older woman who helped me was super kind and even asked if I was sure I wanted to mail something (to someone who forgot the item at my house) because of the cost. She was patient and friendly. If you’re kind to others, they usually will be kind back. ❤️
