- JJJeremy6 days ago1.0This location is very unreliable, always closed or having “system outages” during operating hours.
- EEEricOct 7, 20255.0The gentleman working today (Oct 7) was extremely polite, professional, and prompt. This was my first time visiting and I was expecting the worst based on the other reviews. Maybe they hired someone new and I just got lucky, but it was possibly the smoothest visit to a post office that I've ever experienced.
- IMIris MolinaSep 25, 20251.0Very bad customer service the lady is very rude and very disrespectful I just there around 4:20pm she said computer doesn’t work with actitud she need to be nicely with customers
- TTTrevonk12Jul 28, 20251.0The girl at the front desk is rude for no reason. I don’t usually leave comments but she don’t need to work in customer service. I was on the phone standing In line (wasn’t being loud at all) and she basically told me to go outside while I’m on the phone.
- JHJulie HardyOct 22, 20221.0It's ridiculous how I send a package to this post office, and they say "reschedule to next delivery day." And then, they LOSE the package. Now I am out money, and the USPS won't pay. So it's okay for employees to steal packages???
