Place 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

If you’re going to shut the office for an hour-plus lunch, please update your hours on Google. Several other people showed up and were just as exasperated as me to find the office closed (and a staff member in the back).

Too many systems down excuses for not taking your packages. They open late and close early. Any mention of snow they will not open. If the staff is on break they will make you wait 25+ minutes

Im writing this review as tomorrow will be my 3rd attempt to retrieve my package . Usps says its out for delivery and yet i still have not recieved my stuff . Very strange this package went missing and my gf ordered from the same place and recieved hers especially since she ordered after me. No one for sure can say where it is? My only next steps is to seek management and the authorities.
