- SMsusan mccormick2 days ago5.0Great service
- LSLiv SampcasDec 23, 20255.0I'm surprised by the bad reviews. In the (few) times I went to this post office, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking is always available and near the main entrance door.
- SBShokoufeh BozorgmehrianDec 23, 20251.0Terrible, awful, and worst experience of service ever!! Their customer support is the most frustrating and useless conversation I had!!! Their tracking service is even more frustrating and misleading!!
- EEEllieDec 20, 20255.0Went here to drop off a package expecting absolutely nothing but to drop off a package. An older guy with tats and sparkly nails was working behind the desk and he was super helpful and friendly! Not only was his vibe just super cool overall but he was really careful when entering the package address and proof reading everything. UPS, this guy is like THE person who should be working there, he really brighten my day! :)
- GGgrayxousNov 13, 20251.0just awful unhelpful people. had to escalate to corporate to confirm they were holding a package that they were refusing to give to me for some reason.
