I went to the Sterling Heights location on 11-24-25 at 9:11 a.m. there were three clerks working. A tall light skinned black man provided me me with excellent service. I had to send a express package to my daughter in Chicago and he was great. The other clerks were also courteous to the customer's next to me in line. Thank you, young man for helping me. read more

The amount of times I've had to call up this office for an issue related to damaging my mailbox, misplacing my mail, or forgetting to provide our key is genuinely stupid. EVERY TIME I call for assistance, nobody is available. I have to work my way through their incompetent AI call center every other month regarding a new issue. Going in person isn't much better due to racist staff as others have already mentioned... My latest issue that's finally driven me to write out a review? Whoever delivered my mail broke our key and instead of reporting it, having my mail delivered directly, or literally any of the other smart options at their disposal, they just left the broken key in our mailbox. I can't access my mail and I'm driving myself ragged trying to get an agent (not the useless AI bot!) on the phone. I've called about 6-8 times by now with no luck. I've submitted a support request, scheduled callbacks, but haven't been able to get anyone on the phone. This is the worst service I've ever received from a post office. read more

The guy was very rude, other locations print on certified mail slip. either that location doesn't have the technology or he was being lazy.

I went last September to renew my son's passport. Rhonda is the most racist person l've ever encountered in a public facility. She was rude and treats you misareably, As soon as she saw my non-US passport. And good luck trying to ask a question, she will just stare you in a manner like you just offended her. Complete lack of professionalism. The worst person to have an appointment with. read more

Very nice staff, quick, friendly and efficient. Always a pleasure going to this location.

The passport service is awful, and the workers are extremely rude. Rhonda doesn't respect customers and treats them as nobody. Do not recommend at all! l have never received such a terrible service like here. read more

All the people there they don't respect and they're very rude when someone ask them any question they don't answer or they answer in a bad way plus when people ask them for help with something they don't help the customer service very bad the customer service is very bad disrespectful and rude . read more

I don't recommend this location at all, I was inside wrapping my package laterally by the door and they closed in my face because they were like we closed but I was inside wrapping my package to ship them. read more

The Sterling Heights Post Office is the best! The staff is very knowledgeable. They are always helpful when I have questions.

I would avoid this post office at all cost! The workers are incompetent. I remember going there previously and swearing I would never go back because I had such a horrible experience, but forgot it was this location and ended back up there today. I asked the first lady I spoke to if they do passport pictures here. She went to the back to ask someone if they did and came out and told me no. Walking out , another customer overheard my question and he said he was waiting there for that exact reason. I looked where he was waiting and they had a whole passport section right in the lobby of the post office. As I was checking for appointments, the lady talking to that guy confirmed he could get a photo. They must do passport photos there all day and these people were going to tell me they don't have that service there at all. I can't remember why I swore I would never go back to them in the first place, but I would never trust my mail at this postal service. read more

I place a hold on my mail for ten days and the mail was delivered once I returned home.

Where do I even begin. My partner and I have lived at our current apartment for 4 years. When we moved in our front office told us they didn't have a mailbox key and to go here to get it. They also didn't have the key. So for the past FOUR YEARS we've been strung along to get a key and to get our mail we've had to catch the mail person to either unlock our box or hand it to us. They've been gracious about it every time, thankfully. Until this week, where a new deliverer was at the box and had to ask his manager over the phone if that was ok. She told him no. So I asked to speak with her and upon speaking to her she was the most down right rude person i've ever had to deal with. She told me she was going to withhold my mail and i found out she ended up LYING about doing that, told me the deliverer couldn't open my box? (even though we've NEVER had a problem as long as we had an ID in hand). I was told to go to the post office to order a new key (that's fine as long as i actually get one) and when i went to this post office they were ALSO rude. I showed them my lease agreement and RHONDA tried to tell me that this wasn't my current residence??? like HELLO?? i wouldn't be going through ALLLLL of this if this wasn't my residence. I would rate this place a 0/10 if i could. hands down the WORST service i've had anywhere. Get new employees. read more

I made the same return at another USPS and they were nice enough to put a 4 inch piece of tape on my package for me. This one wouldn't and was going to make a buy tape for $4 dollars. Talk about poor customer service and quality. I did get through quick though. read more

I'm done. Of all the places I've lived in my life, Sterling Heights post office has had the absolute worst and most unreliable mail delivery I've ever experienced. It's almost unbelievable. In addition to returning my mail to sender because they thought I had moved, now I'm not receiving my work checks. I'm a freelancer and I run my own business. Many of my clients still pay via check. Now, I know we've got a pandemic going on but this is extreme and started before the coronavirus thing even started. So many of my checks are never delivered or are extraordinarily late. This has caused me severe financial hardship. I hate having to bug my clients over payment issues that aren't even their fault. I've got shut off notices from DTE. Why? Because $1000 of my checks are still out there, sent out 45 days ago, God knows where. I can't pay my bills! I have a mortgage! Health insurance! This is unreal! As of yesterday, I decided to sign up all of my 300+ check paying clients to an electronic delivery program. Thank God the software system allows for a 30 day free trial because I literally couldn't pay for it due to not receiving my checks. It's a pain to have to sign up over 300 clients but it's worth it to get out of this hole I'm in. Oh yeah, and if you want to send out a package, go to Troy post office and save yourself the trouble. read more

Front Postal workers Always friendly and helpful. Could use a few more people during busy times. read more

Hi I had some mail coming And I had car front of my mailbox and the lady went out of her way to put a sticky note on my mailbox instead of my mail in my box and very upset and they won't give me my mail back to me read more

I have a problem with the delivery person delivering my mail to other neighbors mail boxes. I live in a Senior building and I have an on going problem with mail being placed in the box before mine or the box after mine. These neighbors don't seem to think that it's NOT their mail and CAN'T bring it to my apartment. All they have to do is just stick it between the door and the door jam. (Yeah!! nice people). This happens on a regular basis and now I've lost a new debit card to who knows where. It doesn't seem to be a big problem with sorting the mail according to the addresses but IT IS a big problem when placing the mail in the individual boxes. Seems like it's to hard of a job to look at the mail they are placing in the boxes. Lazy and indifferent to what type of job they are doing. For $20.00 an hour they sure don't care how they doing their job. read more

I made many attempts to reach your post office today Monday 12/28 during business hours, in response to message that you left me on Sunday during non-business hours. First tried connecting to the mail for zip code 48310- as was the case last week when I tried voice mail is full. I then tried pushing 0- kept ringing, ultimately no answer and was disconnected. Is there a way to contact you to respond to your message in kind? read more

So I'm expecting a package before going away for a couple days. It's supposed to be delivered 7/31/2020. I get a tracking update that it's arrived at the Sterling Heights Post Office the morning of the 30th. Great! Should be delivered as expected on the 31st. Except it wasn't. I waited...and waited...but it never arrived as promised. If I'd known the package wouldn't be delivered on the 31st, I would've tried to claim it in the post office on the 30th - if that's even possible due to COVID. So I was unable to share the contents of the package over the weekend as hoped, much to the disappointment of the intended recipient. I wish this were an isolated incident. But it's happened before - thanks to the Sterling Heights Post Office. read more

you're better off expecting a pigeon to deliver your mail. good luck getting a hold of anyone. you would have better odds expecting a toddler to answer your questions. read more

I had great service, can't really say a whole lot but they put effort in and acted professionally

I was irritated I had to come here to begin with, but the two pleasant gentlemen that were working were very friendly and accommodating so that made the trip in, a good one. In all of my years living in this general area, I have NEVER gone off the service drive of Metro Parkway, and nearly missed the exit to find it.... Maybe it was because they just opened, or that it was a Saturday morning, but the service was quick and efficient! Nothing bad to say here! read more

I purchased an item from an electrical company online that's located in Sterling Heights on 02/12/21. The company had USPS pick the package up that same day. The package wasn't actually scanned and accepted into the system at the Sterling Heights Post Office for 9 days. It just sat there until I filed a lost package claim on the tracking number. Pathetic!! This shouldn't be happening at the USPS. read more

USPS rocks. It's cheap, reliable, fast and they workers provide great customer service. This is my go to post office for all my USPS needs. The staff are extremely friendly and always helpful. They have pretty much everything you need to send letter/ship out packages and at really cheap prices. ps: you can also get your passport needs take care of at this location so thats another plus !! read more

Hidden along the side of 16 mile is the Sterling Heights Post Office. You have to take a side road past Chrysler, and find it nestled in where you wouldn't have thought it was hiding at. This location is great, rather prompt service... however if you dare go between 11-1pm, you're going to get stuck in a very long lunch line... so be prepared to wait. And for crying out loud... if you're smart enough to use a U-Scan at a grocery store, go try the automatic postal systems that can get your packaged shipped faster than you can say "Whatcanbrowndoforyou?" :) read more

i put my outgoing mail in my mailbox yesterday around 6 pm and put a yellow sticker written onit outgoing mail and expecting it will be pick up by the mailman who worked this route on kimberly club apt compound . i was so disappointed it was still there in the mailbox and never pick up by the mailman....and put my incoming mail on top of it ! what a lazy ass mailman. .you guys are getting paid $20 / hr and only a piece of mail weighing an ounce can't even be pick up to be taken to their station...... i am calling the attention of managers and supervisors of the sterling heights post office to make a disciplinary action on this letter carrier !!!!! is this how you trained your postal employee ? or i miight have to report it to your postmaster .....it's a shame how your letter carrier of your station work.... what a lazy ass mailman read more

I have never been more irritated in my whole life trying to contact this post office or ANY post Office in Sterling Heights. They ALL share the same phone number and you can not in ANY way reach a real person at all. A pkg of medications has apparently been held up in Allen Park. I finally reached a very nice person at the Shelby Office and he found out it was held up in Allen Park. The frustration is #1 I am completely out of my medicine and #2 I can't talk to a human being because everything is automated and #3 when leaving a message the supervisor for my zip code has not returned my phone call for 4 days and his mailbox is filling up. I had to go to Urgent Care today because of this situation because I am completely out of 3 medications that are apparently lost.... read more

this post office has the worst customer service and the seem to have a problem with my skin tone never going back there

PLEASE READ THIS! On August 20th, I had an altercation with my mail delivery person. He has a 'buddy' that he likes to chat with for 20-30 minutes at a time in front of the mail boxes (the large shared box type with individual boxes that open from the front used in condo communities) preventing others from getting their mail. I had seen this and said something to him a number of times in the past, but this time he and his 'buddy' responded with a verbal attack, yelling and swearing at me. The carrier also almost hit my car when he floored the gas pedal and left. I have also had two occasions over the last 2 years where packages were tracked onto this carriers (DAVE) truck as out for delivery, then disappear, never delivered and never scanned again. Not even 30 minutes after the incident, I called the local Sterling Heights hub post office (the one on 16 Mile between Van Dyke and Mound) and asked to speak to someone to make a complaint. I was sent to a supervisor named KIM, who was not there but I left a voicemail with a brief explanation and my contact information. I then found the phone number for the post office complain line, and called them. I explained what happened, and they opened a case saying they would look into it. KIM called me back the next day, and would not let me speak at all. She spoke over me telling me that the carrier, DAVE, came to her to tell her about the situation (a completely different, and false story), and, still talking over me, said "frankly I don't believe any of what you said." And when I tried to get some words in, was hung up on. So she never asked my to explain things more, would not let me speak, called me a liar, and hung up on me. I immediately called the complaint line again to add what just happened with KIM to the open case notes. They read back to me what I had said originally, and added the new information. I had not heard anything back about the case so I called back today to get an update. I found that EVERYTHING I had said to them was now GONE! NOTHING was in the case notes except what KIM had told them (everything false). SOMEONE INTENTALLY WENT INTO THAT CASE REPORT AND DELETED EVERYTHING I SAID SO THAT NOTHING WOULD BE LOOKED INTO! It was all there when I called to add to add the information about the phone call because they read it back to me, and now nothing! I had to restate everything, and it is now being sent to the postal inspector. I asked if I could have a copy of what is being sent (who knows, it might not even exist tomorrow) as proof, but was told they could not do that (convenient). The initial incident is one thing, but to find out that someone there can just alter records like that is extremely disturbing!! read more

Since replacing my old carrier with new millennials, delivery has gone down. My mail is mixed in with other people's mail in my box. I started tracking days so they can fire the sorter or mail carrier. Other people's very important letters make it in my hands . Very confidential pieces of mail will not be guaranteed to get to you in Sterling Heights, read more

The subs that this office uses when the regular carrier (who is great) are extremely lazy. One today left mail in my mailbox, which was a book that was being returned so there is no doubt that he saw it when he delivered. No note, no knock on the door to tell me why he didn't take it. I had to track him down to give it to him and explain to him that it had a postage pre-paid label on it to return it. He didn't acknowledge his mistake or apologize, just went back to playing with his phone!!!! Im waiting for a call back from a supervisor, which I'd bet will never come! read more

Really crappy location that isn't exactly easy to get to. Additionally, there is usually a long line and not too many stalls open. Typical government workers that are slow and take forever. I try to avoid this location at all costs. read more

Just called at 4 PM, the recording says the office is closed and they don't close until 5:30 pm. Why pay for a phone line at all?

Thieves. Will steal your package. Rude. Will hang up on you. Unprofessional. Side conversations. Long lines. Two employees and 50 bazillion people in line. Avoid it at all costs. This place is a joke. No wonder why it's hidden under a bridge. read more

My postal service is horrible. I constantly receive my neighbor's mail, sometimes the mail does not get delivered at all or when I stop mail during a vacation they'll leave some mail in the box. I just called them to report a check was not delivered and to notify her of my problems in the past. She told me that with all the cuts going on, mail is not gaurenteed to be delivered in 2-3 days like it used to be and that the postal workers are human and can make mistakes. She was extremely rude and blamed it all on the government - no apologies! This is a scary attitude when it comes to our mail! read more

Very bad service called in to 800 number on a sat around 1pm and was still on hold till almost 5pm The USPS sucks kinda figure when its government ran you figure you get better service but what do I expect my own government cant take care of things why should I expect the same from there postal service too what a shame our country has gone to hell and our government don't give a care on anything. I would rather use another company then use our own government ran postal service then they wonder why people are sending emails and using other services then them. read more

My postal service is terrible, its the worst, we always receiving the neighbors mail. Many times our mail is lost!! It would be nice if the delivery person could READ!! Sometimes the trash man sets the empty trash cans close to the mailbox. The postal worker places a sticker on the mailbox that says: cannot deliver, access blocked, are they for real?? If access was blocked, hew were they able to put the sticker on the mailbox?? its Hard to find good employees anymore. read more

Nice deliverers and quick delivery, they deserve 5 stars. They always come early and with smiles on their faces, and I have one on my face too because I love getting my packages in the mail, who doesn't? read more

If there was an option for zero stars I would change my rating. I had a package that was supposed to be delivering to me from Turkey and it required a signature upon delivery, which I was not aware of until a delivery attempt was made. I received the little slip in my mailbox stating they had come by and no one was home, but it said I could go online and schedule a redelivery for whatever day I choose. I picked the following Friday (about 3 days later) which was May 12 and put in the notes that my husband will be working from home all day so someone will be there to sign for the package. Apparently the post office decided to ignore my scheduled redelivery date and they attempted it on Thursday, May 11 when no one was home. I'm sorry my husband and I have jobs that require us to be away from home at 3 in the afternoon, like most people we know. When I got home from work on Friday, the correct day of redelivery, my husband said that he was home all day and that no one stopped by at all. I checked the door and our mailbox and we did not have another "sorry we missed you" slip. I called the post office and after waiting on hold for over 45 minutes I finally connected with someone who told me they attempted delivery on Thursday and Friday but no one was home either day. This is not true, my husband was home all day and would have answered the door if anyone was there. The representative put in a "case" for me and said someone would look into my matter and call me back. I got a call from Nancy today and she said that I "need" to come get my package from the post office because redelivery was already attempted one time (and she said they do not attempt redelivery more than once) and they will not be sending the package out again. I asked her why they ignored my confirmed redelivery date that I chose and decided to come the day before. She told me that if someone is in the area they attempt delivery again. I then asked her why they claimed to have delivered on Friday when they actually did not but she claims they did at about 3:00 pm again. I asked her if this was true then why did they not leave one of the slips in my mailbox or on my door stating they came by, and she said do not leave those upon redelivery. I find that extremely odd since I received a slip the day before when they attempted redelivery. I firmly believe that someone read my scheduled delivery date incorrectly and made their "one redelivery attempt" on Thursday instead of Friday and then lied about coming on Friday at all to cover their butts. So now I have to drive out of my way to pick up this package in the middle of rush hour traffic and put my other plans on hold. This company is the worst ever and I am very displeased with this whole situation read more
