- CVChad VetterDec 23, 20255.0Needed a notary signature and Carl was very helpful and friendly
- SDshania dadyDec 2, 20241.0Always sending my packages out days later after receiving them even when the website say they have it and I’m supposed to be receiving it the DAY OF. Don’t understand how I live 5 minutes away and it still takes them 2 extra days to give me my package
- JJJ.T.S.Feb 18, 20204.0Fast service at window. Friendly employees.
- TDTina DeckerMar 7, 20161.0I called to check why my package (a dvd) was not delivered with my regular mail and said I was just checking to see if it was still going to be delivered today so I knew whether to keep checking for it. The lady was extremely snippy and rude, she spoke to me as if I was stupid for asking and was an inconvenience to her. I was not rude, when she said if it was too big to carry they come back around in the truck, my only response was clarifying it was quiet small as it was just a dvd, then she got rude and defensive. Not impressed with the service.
