- ABAngela BAug 11, 20261.0The most incompetent attitudes not friendly. Especially the short haired black man I don’t know if he is a manager or what. He need to retire. They lost my package. Supposed to went to the address for my business name. They end up getting it the Dearborn location stating it said delivered. Went there today again. They telling me my package is at an outside mailbox? Like are you all this incompetent? Like why is carrier who’s to deliver my package to the right place. Have it delivered somewhere else? I hate that post office it needs to be shut down. They don’t have 2.4 stars for nothing. Had to contact USPS support to find out why my package wasn’t shipped to the correct address. I wish I could give it no stars…
- RFRobert FosterJul 29, 20261.0I would give a zero if I could. The most disinterested humans on the planet. They open late, close early and treat everyone that walks in as inconvenience. There are also comically understaffed for such a busy area. Budget an hour to do anything here, avoid if at all possible.
- EWEvelyn WangJul 21, 20261.0extremely unhelpful staff, got the impression the woman i had was being purposefully obtuse… came in and tried to get a letter mailed. for some reason, she gave me attitude and didn’t clarify that the envelope i purchased already had a stamp before i waited in line for an additional 15 minutes. she also yelled at me to stay behind the blue sign while waiting but every other person before me did not and was not corrected like this… i believe this was racially motivated and am deeply unimpressed with the service
- AHAngela HoopsJul 12, 20263.0The Sunday hours need to be updated to Closed instead of 10am to 2pm. Visited today and the doors were locked and lights were off. Not open for business.
- AEAudrey EdwardsJul 12, 20261.0One of the worst experiences ever. Don’t post your hours if you’re going to lock the doors. We waited outside the doors for 15 minutes. They had an hour and half until close. We called and they continued to ignore. That’s one way to avoid your job.
