My daughter and I went there and it is tight security there. You only can get to the lobby and you must state why you are there or what you need. Once I told them they patched through to the officer who said he would drop it off after an emergency they were in. We waited a while at home but finally had to call as I needed it. He came in about 20 minutes to our home, apologized...saying " I bet you never wanted to see my face again!" after giving me a ticket....It was ok I said. Never feel good about getting a ticket. I felt like the kid in the candy jar. Its much different there than Chicago. Peaceful neighbohoods...people taking their time. The moral of the story watch those MPH signs on Bloomington street as they change block to block.... and if you are not aware..oops. If you are fortunate enough to be stopped by the officer I had...he was kind but did his job. Normandale is 45mph all the way to 494...a much better route I quickly took when headed back to Chi Town.

My experience with Bloomington Police Department left me and my family feeling frustrated and…read moreunsupported. What I believed was a family matter that occurred during a stressful and emotional situation quickly escalated into an arrest. What was most upsetting was the lack of communication afterward. My family was not given clear information about where my sister was being taken, who to contact, or what the next steps would be. We spent hours worried and searching for answers during an already difficult time. As a result of this experience, my trust in law enforcement has been affected. I understand officers have a difficult job and must make decisions based on the circumstances they observe. However, I believe better communication, more compassion, and clearer guidance for families would have made a very stressful situation easier to navigate. I am sharing this feedback in the hope that other families going through difficult situations receive better communication and support

This Saturday, February 21st, I had a package delivered to my parcel box. When I tried using the…read morekey, it wouldn't open the box. I tried multiple times over the weekend, hoping that I'd be able to get it to open, but it didn't work. On Monday, I called and asked if someone could get it open, to that, they said they'd be able to assist me, and I thought my issues were resolved. They were not. I called multiple times again on Tuesday to get the box open, no help from the mail carrier, but I was told on the phone that someone would come over personally and help open the box. I gave the person my cell phone number and my address. No one bother to came by and help. I then called again Wednesday morning. They said that the mail carrier will be able to take my package out of my box and then leave it on my front door. When I return home from work (around 3PM), there is no package on my front step, the box still does not have a key, but the key to open the locker has been removed. I called multiple times to get some help with this and they told me that they delivered the package at 11:30. Their response to this situation is to tell me because the package on my front door is missing that someone stole it. In this neighborhood, there are multiple other homes with packages on their doorsteps and none appear to be missing. I also have never had anyone steal packages before, nor have I heard anything from my neighbors. The parcel box seems to still be locked with no key in sight (assuming no other package has been put in there), I can assure you that no one is stealing my package in my community. The lack of customer service, lack of accountability, the continuous empty promises and lack of reliability with this USPS location and the leadership running this shit show needs some serious attention. Every time I go in person to this branch, people working the counter are extremely rude. There is no redeeming quality about this place.

I have never seen a lazier mail person. and they wonder why Amazon or other delivery services are cutting them out of the loop.

She was older, grey hair, and a big mole on her left cheek. She stares at me and says "why did you use this box?" in the rudest tone. I said sorry what? and she says "you used a priority box and it's a parcel shipping label." I asked if she could just ship it parcel and ignore the box because I was unaware I couldn't do that. She looks at me and again, in the rudest tone says "you're just not supposed to do that but whatever I'll ship it." I looked at her and said "try to be a little kinder next time because it's not that hard." I understand she may have been having a bad day and I truly never really write reviews but I don't remember the last time I have had such a rude encounter. Hope this lady chooses kindness next time. - a 19 year old kind person :)

The service is free." Okay, couldn't they determine that at the time the photo was taken so I wouldn't have to return?! Sure, it's free but my time isn't.
