Manager was rude and unhelpful. If you need help from a USPS go to the Hollywood one. They were amazing, polite and quick service. DO NOT GO TO THIS USPS THEY WILL NOT HELP YOU!!

I was rudely questioned about why I arrived at 4:30 pm to send two parcels abroad. The store closes at 5:00 pm and I had the two custom forms filled. Unacceptable. Obviously the USPS does not need more business or is it profiling?

Parking lot is very small and it stays pretty busy at this post office. The employees are very nice and efficient! Thankful the wait isn't too long.
