- MAMonique AimeeMay 29, 20261.0This is the only post office that makes you wait in line to drop off packages that already have labels printed on them. It’s absolutely infuriating and causes significant delays. The current staff is not equipped to handle this location. USPS please resolve this issue!!
- BWB WApr 6, 20261.0It is widely known in the neighborhood that this is genuinely the WORST postal branch. Every interaction with one particular employee is incredibly rude; see dozens of other 1-star reviews. (Sarcastically said "Oh, they'll LOVE this" about a birthday card I was mailing!) They also close early with no warning, and regularly refuse to help/answer questions and refer you to the Central Square branch instead. Get it together!!
- ASAnnabel SmithApr 4, 20261.0There is an employee (older, named "Moose"?) who works here. He is the RUDEST person I have ever encountered. Always bossing customers around the store, incredibly impatient, and raises his voice at you... he threatened me the last time I was at this location, and I considered calling the police. I instead called his manager and demanded that they take action towards teaching this person how to respect customers. I doubt they will do anything about it. I don't feel safe around him, so I will be going to the Central Square Location...
- LOLyn OcharoenchaiJan 29, 20261.0Worst unhelpful miserable rude staff (older white man) ever. Highly recommend if you want your day ruined while running a simple errand.
- NGNina GJan 27, 20262.0The staff acts pissed off even before you get to say hi to them. I was treated a little rudely like I was dumb. Only come to this location if you have no other choice. Also the guy that helped was named Michael. So beware.
