- SOShana OMay 5, 20265.0Love this location and the staff, especially Amy. Check the hours before you go and you'll be good!
- SWS WDec 16, 20221.0Like the other reviews state - the african american man that works here is unnecessarily rude. If you bother him with the smallest questions ABOUT A POSTAL SHIPMENT (aka his job) he will snap at you before you can even finish your question. For a place that's open less than 5 hours a day these people are DISGRUNTLED.
- PKPeter KimDec 29, 20211.0I dont normally write reviews as you can see from my history. This African American gentleman working here has no idea what he is doing. Not only he takes such long time to see customers yet extremely rude to customers. Waited 34 mins to be seen while I only had 5 customers ahead of me. I needed a receipt for my prepaid package, he goes "this is too heavy, you need another postage. I'm closed for today now come back tomorrow at 8 30." I asked if he could help me send the package as if i came in without any prepaid postage (start from scratch). He refused to help me saying he is now closed and I should come back tomorrow. Left this pathetic office and stopped by another usps on my way home to see if what he was saying was true. Usps next door grabbed my package without any problem with a big smile on them. Not with a rude get out of here face. Really sad to see such a rude employee from usps. Probably won't get fired only because he is a government employee. Sad sad pathetic location. It is such unfortunate there is no a formal complaint I could make.
