Like several others complained, I got there a few minutes before closing and found the doors locked. Heard people inside. I knocked on the doors and I was ignored. I had a large package to drop off. Already had postage on it. Just needed to hand it to someone and leave.

If I could give zero stars I would have. They cannot print their own labels when provided by the customer. They have no tape to assist when bringing in your own labels, have to bring your own. Don’t even offer packaging to insert your pre printed labels. And the Postal Service wonders why they are becoming obsolete. No help whatsoever. Not my choice to use them, the company I am returning an item to chose them, not me. I will never use USPS by choice.

Instead of delivering my package to the address on my package they returned it to sender so they wouldn't have to deal with it. Laziest staff I've yet encountered.
