- MBMeghan BrooksSep 29, 20251.0*My original post was deleted.* This USPS is barely functioning. They are so under-staffed that the one worker in the store will close during working hours at random every single day. Sometimes noon, sometimes 3PM, sometimes 10AM, sometimes 1:30PM. It is very unpredictable as to when they’re actually open. I understand the one worker does need a lunch break, but business hours are business hours. This means they should hire more staff. I can cite 13 different times this has happened to me. My online business runs off orders I mail using USPS, and this store down the street from my house ideally should be convenient for me. Instead, it is a major inconvenience and a burden to my small business. I can only imagine how many others are inconvenienced by the randomness and unreliability of this office.

- WPWade PleasantonMay 17, 20231.0I’m here on a weekday at 3pm and they’re closed again. Suppose to be open 9-5. Our tax dollars being expended efficiently, NOT!
- MGMalisa GeorgeMay 24, 20175.0I started going to this post office because it was close to my job. I keep going because of the awesome the staff. They engage each and every customer. The level of customer service is far superior to what I have experienced at other locations.
