just want to share how grateful I am for the new attendant, Gerald, at our neighborhood post office. My previous experiences here were often disappointing, but Gerald has truly been a breath of fresh air. His attitude is warm, respectful, and genuinely caring. You can feel his love for the customers through the way he serves our community.
He is patient, professional, and uplifting — the kind of person who makes a simple errand feel pleasant. I’m so happy he’s here and hope he remains a part of our community for a long time. Thank you, Gerald, for providing outstanding service!

I had a few things to send out and wasn’t sure how to box them and needed the supplies to do so. Gerald was super helpful as well as kind to interact with. I’ve never had such a positive experience at the post office. I will go out of my way to go to this one whenever I need to send something. Thank you Gerald!

The previous mail clerk who worked here and was responsible for the low ratings is gone, rejoice! The new mail clerk who works here is wonderful and the residents of Northside no longer have to drive to another location to avoid he who shall not be named.
