    unprofessional staff that rather sit behind the desk with their legs up (4 staff) then help customers. flat rude and disrespectful and tried to walk it back too late after I was already leaving. I hope this poor excuse of a post office gets reviewed

    Worse customer service at a post office, I’ve ever seen!! This office requires new management or they need to close it down. The staff argue right in front of the customers. There are no words.

    I put 2 envelopes properly posted with correct address to woodbridge ,va In their drive through box 2 weeks ago. They still have not been received in woodbridge. Called the post office to complain and all I got was: the mail gets picked up every day, can't help you.😬

    I dread going here because the employees are rude, slow, and the lines are always SUPER long. They clearly hate their life and their job. Go somewhere else!!
