Noticed another reviewer is having the exact same issue as I am. Had a package coming in, on December 7 at 3:25 in the afternoon I got a notification that my package had been delivered at the front door/porch but it wasn’t there. Called them politely and they said it got misdelivered and they were going to pick it up after we got off the phone and have it delivered the next day. Never showed up. Called back Monday only for them to tel me the same exact thing. “The individual that received it was going to bring it by but never did so we’ll go get it and get it delivered.” Still hasn’t shown up. Will be calling tomorrow to get the guys address and/or phone number to get it myself if they don’t already have the package. Haven’t had any issues with this location before but this one encounter is really starting to get on my nerves.

I mailed a fragile package and the lady through it from where she was sitting to the mail basket. The other times I've been in there she was just rude. Not a fan of that post office.

Pretty unhelpful overall. More worried about their money than helping people.
