Don't send anything via USPS. Once it is marked as delivered in their system you have no recourse even if it is insured. The mailman can dump packages and then mark as delivered and that's it. They just automatically deny claims over and over again

The woman at the counter was so extremely direct and unfriendly. I have been sending mail the same way for work for over 8 years and this location is the only one to ever give me issues and refuse to send in the way that my work requires. When I tried to explain that I’ve done it this way for 8 years with every post office and have never had issues she just said “well I do it the correct way” and refused.

Woman at the front is extremely rude and lazy. The post office is very old, like walking into 1960. I am very surprised they are still open

Dropped my prepaid package on Thursday morning. Tracking said they didn't received my package until Saturday. That's over 48 hrs when I paid over 20 bucks for priority shipping. Unacceptable. That place wasn't even busy.

Walked in to buy stamps. No stamps, not one! This is the second time they’ve had no stamps. Why are they open? This really makes me over the top angry. Someone, please close this pathetic post office.
