Good service. Since it's a 1 person operation, hours are very limited. They close for lunch 1:55-3:00. But that's the price we pay for keeping the convenience of the old downtown post office. The government has proposed closing it several times.

Usually on "break", the window is closed. And when it's open, nobody wants to help you.
June 2024
To update : Lunch hour (ie. No service besides mailbox drop off) is now 1:55-3 pm
By no means should lunch be skipped, but wish it would be noted in the listed/advertised business hours to avoid wasted trips.
