It's sad that there's only 1 worker at the counter and a huge lineup that leaves the customers waiting a long time. I would hope to see more workers and more training for the services that we are paying for

This is the worst post office I've ever encountered. They will say your package is delivered when its not, you ask them to hold a package there because you can't trust them to deliver it and they give it to the driver. They will give you so many excuses and never will except responsibility for their incompetence. They just need to stick to mail and no packages. They just can't do it properly.

The worst post office I’ve seen. They never deliver on time, it’s either a delivery attempted or costumer requested to pick up at post office message. I work from home so I don’t know where they are attempting to deliver. I’ve had two packages lost and the process to file a claim online makes it impossible to finish the claim so I had to take the loss. People that work there have a bad attitude and should be trained again or removed from the job. Rather pay UPS or FedEx than having to deal with this disaster.
