- AGAnnette GeldzahlerApr 14, 20265.0This is a great post office and such a pleasure compared to more urban areas I've lived in. Staff is patient and efficient and lines are usually not an issue.
- KKKenan Jackson (KP)Sep 11, 20122.0HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE. Can we give a rating lower than 0? I just moved to the area and have had to visit this location 3 times. Each time ranged from annoying to nightmare. On the last occasion I went in with an international express package to be shipped. I'd printed the labels at home, but was unclear on how/where/which of the 3 customs/shipping label to apply. When I asked the woman at the counter for a little help on what to do, she flat out told me (no kidding, this is a quote), "I cannot help you with that. You printed the labels at home so you are supposed to know what you are doing. I can't tell you anything." ARE YOU FRICKIN KIDDING ME?! She told me that since I printed the labels myself all she could do was accept the package. I asked once again, can you just tell me which of these labels needs to accompany the package. Her reply, "We're not allowed to do anything if you printed the label." WORTHLESS. Yes, it was the little black woman with too much make up and insanely bloodshot eyes, who moves slower than a drunk snail. I've never had such a bad experience at ANY post office across the country. If I'm not mistaken, by using USPS, printing labels at home or purchasing at the post office, is what pays her ridiculous government salary and benefits. I think I understand why some of their employees "go postal" if they have to work with people like this. I'll be going to the Hadley or North Amherst locations from now on, this one is pathetic. The only thing worthwhile there is the 24 hour drop off service where you don't have to interact with the employees.
