- HRHarry N. RubinAug 3, 20265.0The two ladies that helped me were extremely kind and attentive. They gave me a free box and helped make sure my package arrived at its destination as soon as possible. Thank you for your help!
- BHBrian HallJul 25, 20264.0Friendly and helpful front counter. Best hours open until 7pm
- JGJames GillJul 18, 20265.024 hour self service us great, packages always go out fast from this location. Staffed later than most locations during the week.
- DVDaniela VelasquezJul 15, 20265.0I had an extremely pleasant experience with Ike, Neena, and Seon. As I struggled to ship a very important item to a family friend, each of them went the extra mile to ensure my package arrived safely and at the most cost-effective price. I would like to give an extra shoutout to Ike for personally customizing the box I needed for the item. I would also like to thank Seon and Neena for educating me on the different shipping options they offered. The team was patient, professional, and knowledgeable. Thank you for making a trip to the post office a positive one (for once). I will definitely be returning to this location.
- MGMisha GutayJul 15, 20261.0I was disappointed with my experience. I have been shipping my products in my own custom-branded boxes for several years without any issues. During my recent visit, I was told that I could not use my boxes because they displayed my business logo and website. When I politely asked for the USPS policy supporting this, none was provided. The explanation left me confused and frustrated, especially since these are my own boxes not USPS-provided packaging. I would appreciate more accurate information and consistent guidance
