For a time during 2020/2021 i had all my credit cards that were being sent to me go missing to the point my card companies had to send them via FedEx because they would never get delivered via USPS. But probably my worst experience was last year in 2023... It was a Thursday and I had been expecting a package of very expensive medicine that was temperature sensitive and although it was in a cooler with ice, it was very hot outside. Usually my mail gets delivered very late anywhere from 6:30-8:30 pm on average, but this package never showed up. I looked up on Informed Delivery to see what happened because it is not unusual for my mail person to just not deliver to me. I assume because it gets too late and i must be on the end of their shift. Informed Delivery had the package marked as undeliverable and sent me to a link to either request it be redelivered or to pick it up. Because there was no reason it could not have been delivered in the first place other than the driver just didn't feel like coming, I selected hold at post office and went down early the next day. I went to the post office on Friday morning and was told by one of the gentlemen that worked there that since I did not have a slip, it would be hard for them to find the package but he'd go take a look. He came back after 10 minutes and said he could not find it but that he would put a note on his boss's desk to contact me when it was found and said that more than likely it was being loaded on the truck for that day's delivery and if I did not receive it to come back tomorrow, but that he was sure it would be delivered. I went home and waited all day.. but the package was not delivered. I was very busy the next day and was not able to go back to the post office until the afternoon. I went back, waited in line, and spoke to a different man than the day before. He said he would check the back for the package and again did not find it. Then he said he would go ask his boss about it. I believe her name was Darlene but I could have that wrong. He went to go talk to her while i stood there for 40+ minutes. Meanwhile a nice younger lady who was obviously feeling bad I was waiting so long, asked if she could help and explained to me how sometimes if the truck is overloaded packages might be marked out for delivery that aren't and that they usually get carried over to the following day but remain in bins in the back until they can be loaded. While she was explaining this to me, she was also helping another gentleman who had come in because his package was marked as delivered but had not in fact been delivered and he had been home waiting for it. The gentleman who was "helping" me finally came back and said, "i'm off now" and left. I was honestly so stunned he had me wait for 40+ minutes to come back and just say "I'm off" like what? Realizing I would not get any help, I went home. My package again was not delivered. At this point I called the USPS hotline and put in a missing package report. I should also mention that during this time I had made several attempts to call this particular Post Office but no one ever answered the phone which is why I had to keep going in. The next day was Sunday so there was no hope of delivery that day. Monday morning I again went down to the post office and spoke to the first man I had spoken to on that prior Thursday. This time he was much more helpful and printed up the package's travel log. He explained to me how the packages get put into bins and that the bins are what is tracked, not the actual package, so sometimes there can be issues with tracking that shows it being closer to my destination than it actually is. That being said, if a package is marked out for delivery like mine was, that means it was loaded onto the delivery truck. He then had me wait to the side to speak to his boss (whom I think was named Darlene but again I'm not 100% sure on that). She was speaking to another woman who also had a package missing for several days. So I waited in line to speak to her. She told me the exact same thing she told the lady before me, to write down my information and if they find the package they'll call me and to go home because they don't load the trucks until 10:30 (which explains why my mail gets delivered so late.) At this point my medicine had been traveling in the cooler in very hot conditions longer than it should have so i was sure it was going to be ruined. At 12:30 I got a call saying they had finally found my package. By this point having spent 3 days traveling to Madison and then another 5 being lost, the medicine was bad. I no longer purchase mail order medicine because I cannot rely on deliver as this happened again multiple times. 2 stars because some of the people were very nice even if their hands were tied.

Then, this post office worker proceeded to MOCK ME in front of everyone who was in there because of the error. English is my second language so I was very embarrassed and could not understand how this guy thought that was okay. Then he wouldn't ship off the package for me. He kept screaming for the next in line person over my head and ignoring me. I got a new package and fixed my spelling and he still wouldn't sent it out and continued to laugh at me with the other customers saying I couldn't figure it out. I eventually just walked out. Extremely rude worker. Post office do better!!!! Making fun of customers is never okay!!!!

I generally drop off my items in the drop box. All my insider counter transactions have been seamless and friendly. There's never been much of a wait, maybe 1-2 people in front of me.

Having lived in several states, one learns that not all postal employees are created equal. That…read moreis why I am writing this review about the Post Office in Sheffield. It has the most conscientious and friendly staff of any I have ever used (and that includes my hometown's in rural Alabama, where everyone knew everyone). This friendly attitude is not just from the counter people, as the letter carriers exhibit the same courteousness and conscientious work ethic. With regards to Sheffield's history: In 1815, General Andrew Jackson and his troops following the Military Road crossed the Tennessee River at what is now know as Sheffield. The exact crossing site is still called Jackson Hollow today. Two years later, in 1817 General Jackson and his troops returned to this area and camped on the bluff above the river. Around the campfire Jackson and his fellow officers decided that no other site was so promising for a township as the one where they were camping. A few months later Jackson officially recommended the site where the Military Road crossed for the establishment of a town. The United States Secretary of War laid off a town precisely at that point and called it York Bluff. At the United States Land Sales in 1818, Jackson himself purchased quite a bit of land. By 1885, the area was incorporated as Sheffield, Alabama. Sheffield features three historic districts with ante-bellum and Victorian-era buildings. Our rich music heritage goes back to the 1950's when new fad Rock n' Roll music began to sweep the nation and the roots of Jazz were being established as an American tradition. Many top songwriters and performers cut vinyl at Jackson Highway Studio and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. The Jackson Highway Studio was even pictured on the cover of Cher's 3614 Jackson Highway album.

While there…read moreare known national challenges, this specific location exacerbates the issue with operational inefficiencies and inconsistency. Their counter hours are so unpredictable that even bankers might be jealous, and their delivery process is abysmal. The only semblance of insight into their operations comes from Informed Delivery, which highlights just how chaotic their courier services are. I can see things that are supposed To be delivered, and watch them slip by a few days or knock on my neighbor's door to see if it was misdelivered...again. This isn't an isolated issue tied to one postal worker; it's clearly a systemic failure. Additionally, the forwarding process within the same post office's domain is shockingly slow--it took over a month to forward mail, which is inexcusable given the availability of modern tools and technology. Considering the ever-increasing cost of postage, one would expect far better service. They should prioritize improving their core functions rather than juggling additional responsibilities like Amazon deliveries. If I have something important or time-sensitive, this is the last service I would trust to handle it.

No answer, even when I knocked on the door repeatedly. I had to mail the 4th package elsewhere. I guess all the stories from the last few years have been true.

Yelp says the business is open until 6 pm and google says 5:30 pm. I arrived at 5:25 pm and as I drove up a gentleman locked the door. Since all I needed was to drop off a package, I hurried up to the door in hopes he could take it anyway (after all I still had 5 minutes until he closed). On my way up I noticed that my FedEx label (a sticky label) was curling up at the edge. I banged on the door, he opened, and I said, "I need to drop this off but the label is lifting at the edge. Can you put a piece of tape on it?" He replied that he could but it would cost me $2. Needless to say I declined. Although I wish I was able to arrive sooner, I would appreciate a retail business that stayed open the hours it has posted (even if you have *just* 5 minutes). As for the $2 "packaging" fee, I think that's a great business practice I want to implement in my own life. I will now charge every bonehead I meet a $2 handling fee.
