- AHAndrew HannoudiJun 30, 20261.0Absolutely terrible. Purchased overnight shipping for $45 and 5 days later the package has still not arrived. Terrible service all around. Employees are clueless, nobody knows where my package could be, and I keep getting redirected. Will never use again.
- GMg mmJun 4, 20261.0I rarely use such strong language, but the employee at this store demonstrated a concerning level of incompetence. Rather than acknowledging their lack of understanding, they became highly defensive, condescending, and unnecessarily aggressive when questioned. It was clear that they did not fully understand the service they were responsible for providing and had not received adequate basic training.
- SMSabriyah McCaffertyJun 2, 20261.0Hate this postal office nobody here want to do they job
- WHW HutchMay 14, 20263.0The staff at this post office are super nice, friendly, and helpful. So why 3 stars? Because for a post office right across the street from UofP, close to a LOT of residences, a post office we all depend on, they are closed due to staffing shortages constantly. There is no excuse for this post office to be short staffed. This isn’t on the staff that’s there, this is on whoever’s not hiring or sending enough staff. It’s beyond ridiculous.
- JRJames RogersMay 11, 20261.0Postal staff at this location have been observed speaking negatively about customers immediately after they leave, as well as making disparaging remarks about coworkers during active transactions. On multiple occasions, postal staff refused to process shipments or generate tracking numbers, citing being short-staffed as justification for not completing basic services. Most concerning, customers are pressured to submit positive feedback on the POS terminal before receiving their receipt, and those who don't respond quickly or favorably enough are publicly criticized in front of other customers. These issues may reflect broader dysfunction within the USPS system, but operational strain is not an excuse for treating customers with disrespect.
