I usually dread going to the post office. The counter people are just simply grouchy. This young lady was helpful and nice, Thank you. I only wish I had gotten her name.

Nothing fancy. Usually a line, because they don't have enough employees. Some of the employees are nice, some are rude and don't need to be in customer service

Really need to change website to reflect NO walk ins. Drove an hour and half and husband took time off work. There was literally one car in the parking lot and they refused to squeeze us in.

If you can avoid it anyway, unless you just love wasting time, don’t come in to the office. They rarely have more than one person working right now 10 o’clock in the morning there was at least 12 people in line when I got here. It’s been over 15 minutes and there’s 12 people in line now.. It’s the worst post office I’ve ever ever been in.

Awful location! Should be investigated for fraud. 4 out of 6 mailings delivered to wrong address. Post office never answers their direct phone line.
