It can be tough working at the postal office, lots of people coming in, not a ton of staff. Channel did a great job getting me and my family through the passport office and I felt taken care of!

My package couldnt get delivered to my building because it required a signature. They left me a note saying i can request a redelivery but i chose to pick it up instead. When i went there today, they claimed the carrier had it and that it should be delivered by today, and yet, still wasnt re-delivered, with no updates or callbacks. I’m fairly certain at this point that my package was stolen.

Very rude and arrogant. I followed the all instructions on the notification letter and provided all required information in person at this office. The staff asked for completely irrelevant information. I tried to provide everything she asked me. And next second, she said " I don't need this. I never asked for this.". I was like " You just asked me to show it to you 1 min ago.". Very unprofessional.
I will never go to this location for any service.

Beware of this post office. I had a high valued item stolen by one of their mail carriers. No help given. Bad business. Federal crimes are out the window for these types of individuals with no repercussions
