- SMShiloh MatousekApr 7, 20265.0I really like the Johnston post office. That staff consistently makes an effort to be pleasant and keep the lines moving. It is certainly a busy place with passport service, but I dont have to schedule an extra half hour to mail a package like some locations.
- TOTerrelle OakleyMar 31, 20261.0Horrible. Packages always end up missing, mail ends up at wrong place. If you file a claim because they put an empty package in your box you never get payment. The post master only covers up what the carrier did instead of taking responsibility
- TDTom DoughertyOct 29, 20255.0Whenever I'm visiting this location, it's not as crowded as other metro locations and the people who work here are very knowledgeable when you have a question.
- MHMaryn HealdNov 26, 20241.0They didn't deliver my package due to "insufficient address" so it got sent back to the post office in Johnston. Since no one was answering the phone, I went in person to get my package right when they opened yesterday. The woman at the counter didn't even CHECK for it, just said it probably wasn't there anymore. Lo and behold, I looked at the tracking information today and it said it was being "returned to sender". When was the processing time? Three hours AFTER I went in. If they had simply checked, I would have been able to get my package. Now it has to be returned, refunded and I have to order all over again. Very frustrating.
- JGJennifer GoodmanFeb 23, 20231.0Far and above the lowest service post office I've lived near in the last 20 years. Perhaps, they should have an automated package shipping station like those that have been available in most post offices for the last 10 years. If not, please don't lock your door a few minutes before close. And, please don't offer porch pick up, fail to pick up the package and then send me a confirmation that my package was picked up. And, when I weigh the package, calculate postage on your website, and put the appropriate number of stamps and drop off at a drop box (most people work when you are open), please don't return it stating that it's $0.02 short on postage. The worst. By a lot.
