- SSsamantha s3 days ago5.0I love this post office. Usually there is only one clerk working but the supervisor there means business! You have to be polite and not skip the line or else you’ll get moved to the back. Rightfully so. 🙂↕️ The clerks and supervisor that usually attend to me when I’m dropping off packages are really nice and help me with whatever I need. Be patient with them and they’ll be patient with you. Thank you!!!
- MJMidori Newlin JrAug 13, 20265.0Always friendly and fast service! In my experience, they do not play no games, you are in and out!
- NFNicole FiguereoAug 6, 20261.0I requested my receipt ONLY be emailed and when the screen prompted the clerk to take my email address she made a disgusted face, canceled it, printed a receipt, and moved to the next guest. If it’s a burden then say something but I specifically did not want a printed receipt! USPS is such a sought after workplace and the spots should be given to people who care about the service they give!
- FMFu MescudiAug 4, 20265.0I go there every week and the service is always quick and the women who work there are friendly. :)
- JJJaredMay 6, 20264.0Place is hot as a sauna & small as a paperclip 🖇️ but good service with a smile. Had multiple windows open with a long line. Made it simplistic
