- 2H2lagittoquit heyheyJan 16, 20214.0It's an ok post office, nothing special, but not bad. Costs are the same as any other, but you aren't offered the same business times and services as others. Closed on Saturday during covid-19, no partial lockers (even tho it said it's included when I bought my large po box) for package pickup which means u can only collect packages during hours. Even tho packages would fit in my larger box I purchased, I've for some reason had to pick up all my packages at the window so far (via note card). So minor inconveniences as opposed to others. Nice people work here. Theres another PO, (GROSSCUP AVE, Dunbar) less than a mile away that is worse, definitely an attitude switch with this one. I wouldn't recommend (GROSSCUP) to my dog.
