This is my "go to" post office because it's the closest to my home. I initially didn't even want to write a bad review because there are a couple employees that have been very nice and helpful to me.
However, they have recently been handling delivery terribly. My brother-in-law sent us a package, but he forgot to put our unit number. I get it--his fault. BUT as soon as he found out the package was returned to the post office, he contacted USPS and updated & verified our address. We literally waited 2 weeks and still got no package, so I finally went in person to customer service hoping that I can just pick it up, only to find that it has been returned to sender already. They couldn't update that on the tracking results? Thankfully, it came back to my brother-in-law, but the whole thing was such an inconvenience and I hate that the tracking results never got updated.
My other issue is even worse. I bought something online internationally, and the way my address was written was that the unit number was on the second line. Apparently, when they make USPS labels locally after the package arrives from overseas, unit or apartment numbers get skipped over, so the mailman would have to be familiar with the neighborhood and know where to look on the labels to see exactly where the package is going. I inquired about this package in person, and I was informed that due to the COVID-19 impact on the USPS (which I understand), the usual mailman for my neighborhood wasn't the one to make the delivery so he wasn't familiar with our area, hence why my package was returned to the post office. Again, I was hoping I can just pick it up, but the clerk said to just leave my number and I'll be contacted when they either retrieve my package or when it is set to be delivered again. I never received a phone call, nor have I received anything in the mail. I even verified my address already. The tracking results never updated; it just said that it was returned to the post office.
Since the post office was completely unhelpful, I called the USPS customer service line, and they were actually very helpful. They gave me details and an explanation and even gave me the phone number to this local post office so I could arrange to pick up my package. I called more than 10 times. No answer. I literally called everyday since then, and after an entire week, they finally answered. The only thing they told me was that it has "most likely been returned to sender because [they] don't hold packages for more than 36 hours." Well if y'all picked up your phone, we wouldn't have this problem!!! On top of that, it was such an unclear response that just sounded like an excuse at this point. They couldn't even tell me exactly where it was. Had they contacted me like they said they would, we wouldn't be having this issue. I called them out on it, and all I got was a half hearted apology. Once again, I came IN PERSON inquiring about it and even verified my address--what other excuse do they have????
Now I'm just here angry that I can't even give a timely gift because of this inconvenience, hoping that the company I purchased from might send it back ASAP or just give me a refund.
I'd give zero stars if I could. Oh how I really do hope the USPS gets saved. read more
