- MGmatthew grimmDec 5, 20251.0Garbage, never open. Closed during lunch hour when people would need to use it. Just close the post office and open another food option for Sailors.
- JAJay AliasonAug 9, 20254.0Nice little post office on base. 4 stars because they only had 1 worker and they take lunch from 1230-130. It is in a food court if you need to wait.
- GJGerry JohnsonApr 11, 20241.0I mailed and tracked an envelope from Fort Cavazos, TX to a post office box at this Post Office (on Gilbert St.) and it took three weeks for mail to be delivered to the P.O. Box. The address label was written correctly. The tracking data showed that the envelope was going back and forth between the Richmond, VA distribution facility, the Norfolk distribution facility and a Norfolk Post Office at a different zip code, not the destination zipcode. Because of previous delivery problems in year 2023 with the mail delivery in the 23511 zip code area, I make a habit of photographing the address label. In March 2024, when I submitted an inquiry on the USPS website for priority mail not delivered yet, the USPS employee that called me (I think it was the manager at the Gilbert Street Post Office/Naval Base Branch) stated the label was "probably" wrong. The address label was 100% correct, to include the +4 zip code format. I might have to start having Federal Express or UPS to deliver mail to a P.O. Box, since the Post Office cannot get their act together.
- JRJeremy RoseSep 25, 20231.0No one was there at opening time
- JPJulaiza PontecillaJun 17, 20201.0Every time I go here it’s always the same person and he’s so rude towards me. If you’re not happy about your job then just quit.
