- RBRobin BeardOct 18, 20255.0Staff is very pleasant and efficient. Good to have them as our neighborhood post office.
- MBMarion BrophySep 9, 20255.0Lisa went above and beyond to help me and point me to the correct way to ship my item. Her demeanor and kindness made the morning so much better. We’ll drive out of our way to come to this location in the future. Clean and easy to get in and out of as well. Thank you!
- AKAri KendalJul 28, 20255.0One of the Best USPS Locations! After moving to the Kingstowne/Alexandria area, this has become our go-to USPS location and for good reason. The staff here are consistently efficient, professional, and friendly. It’s rare to find a post office where employees greet you with a smile and genuinely seem to care about providing great service, but this location does exactly that. Every visit has been smooth and hassle free. Highly recommended!
- FPFRO PWRJul 14, 20255.0I noticed the 2-star on this location. I can only imagine how deranged some of these reviews might be, and honestly I think our postal service deserves more love than that.
- ELEL LEON DE LEONJul 7, 20251.0I just left this postal office after being interrogated disrespectfully by Thang a clerk who decided that he could question my daughter who was with me telling her to “tell him the truth” if we still lived at our address because of a hold on our mail that we wanted to replace, like he has the right to know people’s personal reasons and question people with any kind of authoritative attitude the way he directed my daughter. And then he told me to stop looking for trouble after I told him he could not do that and that nobody had to tell him their personal reasons and he didn’t have to ask none of that. He said he was just trying to figure out the truth, like that is he’s job or something. Definitely very unprofessional.
