- KBKeshia BelmarezOct 15, 20253.0I went here for the very first time to mail off my tax paperwork to the IRS as well as to the State of Oregon. I paid extra so my paperwork could get to the IRS in time because my previous employer Subway from Oregon State refused to give me my tax information. As a result I had to file for an extension. I've gotten my taxes done with H&R Block for 22 years so I didn't really know how to do my own taxes, however, this year I used the "Free" version of the H&R block app to do my own taxes. My paperwork has to be in to the IRS by yesterday. I paid for next day delivery so with me mailing everything on this last Friday early in the morning, my paperwork should have gotten there on this Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Oregon State got my tax documents but the ones I sent to the IRS still show as not being delivered and are "delayed" by USPS. What is the point in paying extra for overnight delivery if they still deliver it late?? Needless to say it's past the extension deadline and USPS has delayed my tax documents. Also I had explained that I never mail anything and asked the clerk about certified mail. He did not tell me that I had to ask for the "return receipt" service that requires the receiver to sign. I am able to view the status of my mail online though using the certified mail receipts. I also purchased a book of stamps.

- RRRPMJul 12, 20252.0The parking lot is always full. People from the apartment next door park their car in the parking lot. And nothing is done about it. The people that work there are helpful. The parking problem needs to be addressed. Maybe tow away people cars that live in the apartment across the street.
- AGAna GalindoJun 24, 20255.0This is hands down the best post office I’ve ever visited. The service is consistently excellent, and the staff is truly exceptional—always kind, knowledgeable, and respectful. Every customer is treated with dignity, and you can tell they take real pride in their work. Even when I'm across town, I go out of my way to come here because I know I’ll be treated well and my mail will be handled with care. Truly a standout location!
