- BHBrandy HollingsworthFeb 24, 20251.0The people that run this post office are the most incompetent and inconsiderate human beings I've ever met. Every single time I get a package to this post office they immediately return it to sender. They do not call or notify you at all, they don't answer they're phones, and they're unbelievably rude. I cant stand this post office. I would avoid this place like the plague if it wasn't for the fact that our rural addresses here can't receive mail.
- NNNoahkoa (Nosk)May 13, 20231.0By far the worst post office I've ever had the displeasure of having to go to. I always get my mail late excessively late. I understand that they can't control how fast the shippers get my mail to the post office but even after my phone says that my package was delivered to the post office, it will still take WEEKS to show up in my Po Box. All the workers are rude and frankly if I was capable of changing the post office I had things sent to, I would. This place should have negative stars.
- CDCoderSal DCLXVIAug 24, 20221.0I only gave one star because a negative review is not possible. This post office has some of the worst representatives I have EVER dealt with ANYWHERE. I walked up to the counter and politely asked if I had a package. They snapped at me "And what makes you think you have a package?" I was in utter disbelief. I didn't even know what to say to that! Every time I need to go pickup a package I do so with much reluctance due to having to deal with them and just wondering what rude remark/s they will spew out. Totally and utterly unacceptable unprofessional behavior! Even more so when I am ALWAYS polite and courteous to them out of respect and professionalism despite their behavior. Their behavior is not personal or aimed at me, everyone I know agrees to their rudeness and unprofessionalism. I feel bad for anyone moving to Capitan and having to deal with them. My next step is to file a complaint with the USPS, enough is enough. So yeah, -5 stars from me hands down!
- ALAlways Changing LifeMar 29, 20201.0I wouldn't even give them one star. Worst people to deal with to get a general delivery even made me pay for shipping again just to receive my package even though shipping was paid for. Do NOT use for general delivery!
