- RMRobert Murch3 days ago5.0Guy at the counter was one of the nicest people I have ever met at the post office
- PKPaloma KuralicJun 16, 20261.0Conveniently not mentioned anywhere that passport walk-ins are only from 9-9:45am. .. also not willing to help at all, not resolution mindset here
- CGChelsea GrayburnMay 7, 20261.0I had a small package sent to me that needed a signature. It was delivered a day later than indicated, so I was not home. I requested a redelivery since the note I was left indicated this was possible. The actual policy is just that if you aren't home at a random hour they try to deliver a package, you must go get it. At least be honest if that's your policy.
- EREk ReyApr 27, 20261.0I had to carry a heavy box from the Shaw’s Parking. The website said it’s open at 7:30. The sign said it’s open… carried the heavy box to realized that there was false advertising.
