    They just drove past my house and wife out front and sent me a notification they couldn’t access my home. Outright lie. Lazy employees and no way to contact anyone to do anything about it. Our taxes goto this crap

    I had a package that was supposed to be delivered to my house on a Saturday and this is probably the fifth or sixth time if not more that the post office has refused to drive down my driveway if the package is too big and actually put it on my doorstep. and then I don’t get a notification until after the post office is closed that they decided to hold onto it and then I have to go pick it up. Never in my life have I seen such lazy people. Absolutely ridiculous and now because Monday is a holiday I have to wait till Tuesday to get this package. not happy at all with the service that this post office has, and to be honest, they need to be written up.

    I have been to this location many Times and everyone I have encountered has been so pleasant but my last 2 visits once on Friday around 1:30pm and Monday the 5th of April around 1pm. This lady was very unpleasant and rude. I understand we all have bad days but this is twice within a couple of days. I witnessed her ask people can she help them and sounded like she did not want to be their. Like it's too much trouble to wait on them. Trust me I feel the same where I work but never have I spoke to my Customers like I did not want to deal with them.
