This post office customer service has gone from marginal to poor to bad to worse to unacceptable. Never more than 2 counter clerks and a lot of time 1 is busy with passports. The place is dingy. Clerks on the other side of po box walls are very loud and can be heard cursing. They took a handicap reserved parking space and made it the manager’s parking space. Often counter clerks appear to be “dressed down” - tshirts, jeans. 9 times out of 10 counter clerks’ answers are “I don’t know”. There are rude women clerks. No one and that is no one ever answers the phone - you can let it ring over 4 minutes then you are disconnected. When picking up packages lines form before anyone comes to that door. The other day the “doorbell wasn’t working so no one ever came to that door for package pick up - had to stand in line for the counter service.
Avoid going in!

This place sucks, steer away as fast as possible. Nobody wants to work in this branch, maybe one person would be doing their job if you’re lucky. The passport appointment is nothing but a waste of time don’t go there to get your passport renewed or done (first time), you will be ignored. Employees sitting in the back eating, talking (you can actually hear them chatting and laughing with one another), watching something on their phone. There are other branches out there that are much more professional, get things done quick and best of all, want to actually work and do their job.

I had a wonderful experience at this post office. The staff were extremely patient and helpful. Shoutout to Perez for answering my questions and helping me find the best option for my shipping needs. I'll definitely use this location next time I need to mail anything.

I was nervous about coming here but I booked an appointment for my son’s passport and it went very well. There were three people in front of us but the lady saw us and asked what we needed and we said passport. She said okay step over there and fill out the paperwork. Took 20 min to do everything. Thank you!
