- PSP ShermanNov 11, 20251.0Closed 12:50-2 for lunch but doesn’t say that until you get to the inside door. Waste of time.
- GSGannon SugimuraOct 1, 20255.0Please don't believe the one-star reviews. Yes, there is a lunch hour--during which the clerk is usually working on duties that she can't get do when people can come in to the counter--because this office was reduced in staff from three people a few years ago to just one and does get a lunch hour. She knows her stuff, and does a great job. But here in Northern Virginia, we have a lot of entitled people who think that the rules don't apply to them, and waiting their turn is not for them. I have no doubt that is where the one star reviews are coming from. I have been coming here for 25 years and won't go anywhere else if I can help it.
- HVHuong VoSep 8, 20251.0The service is not professional
- PKPaul KimAug 22, 20251.0I usually never write reviews but my experience here has never been good and this was the last time I walk in there. Used to come to this office back when I lived in Springfield but man that front desk lady has the absolute worst attitude for years. I get you been in the business for a long time but if you can't be nice just retire or find a new career. And since when did a post office close for lunch during peak hours. Whatever you do I would go to the next closest usps office if possible. I don't trust any of my packages with that lady.
- DWDaniel WeissbarthJun 27, 20251.0I went to the post office. Before I left, I checked the website which said they are open. Google says they're open. When I arrived, there was a sign taped up that they close from 12:50pm-2pm. I opened the door looking for a self-service kiosk, and the person working there said they were closed for lunch, which was not something I realized post offices did.
