- TNTerry NewmanDec 13, 20251.0They consistently leave our packages at the side door out in the rain. We have a covered porch right in front. They turn the phone off so you can’t call and complain. Employees are rude and don’t care about doing a decent job.
- AKArh kJun 27, 20245.0Had a wonderful experience today 06/27/24 @ 12.50pm. We were there for passport application lady on a counter helped us a lot we did not get her name. Thank you for your wonderful service which is very hard to find these days.

- BSB ScholesJun 17, 20201.0Think twice if you are mailing time-sensitive documents via the USPS to Columbus, Texas. What may take 5 days, from mailing to delivery, in a neighboring town, like New Ulm, TX may take 2-3 weeks if you are sending it to Columbus. It might not even reach its destination. This has happened more than once with me. I will use FED EX next time I mail something important to Columbus, because the Postal Service there is not reliable.
