If I could manage to give this 1/2 a star or no star, I would do that. These are the laziest, most self-entitled group of public servant employees, & you have nowhere to turn to report bad behavior because the whole office is "like that" (Maple Drive office).
I live on a hill (small hill) at the end of a private drive, & every now & tI'll get really fortunate, and then they'll come up to the house (which is not a huge effort, but you'd think you were making the trek to the North Pole) (and it's only once in a blue moon they'll make the effort) to get me to sign for a registered mail package...and leave the rest of the mail in the box at the bottom of the hill in the joint mailboxes at the entrance to the shared drive. Aaaugh!! *faceplant*
The back door to our mailboxes has been ripped open (again) & mail stolen from it (again, this is the ...third time, I think?) & the only people who can authorize to get the lock fixed is the BHPO. But, no, really, they're in no hurry. No bother whatsoever. No matter the end of year tax information that has been stolen from our boxes, or packages, or credit card bills; the BHPO doesn't consider this a priority, because walking 5 steps is burdensome for them, so actually picking up the phone and scheduling an appointment so we can be there & handle the issue once someone actually shows up here is just *puff* too *puff* much *puff* work...
We had a carrier named Ted who was on our route for a while - everyone loved him - he did everything you would hope a carrier would do, and at X-mas time, EVERYONE gave him $$ bonuses. The woman we have now: we just keep calling & leaving messages with the supervisors 1.) because the supervisors won't ever/don't answer their phones EVER during business hours - they've made it their unwritten policy, we've learned; 2.) because SOMEONE has to be documenting SOMEWHERE the number of complaints received about a carrier, right? Right? and 3.) the supervisors are the only ones who can schedule the appointments with the locksmiths. But like I said, they're in no hurry to help us, and it's probably a lot easier for them for us to go to THEM at the office on Maple Drive to pick up our mail.
Actually, its terribly inconvenient. We live on a Canyon Road, so traffic is already congested, and then we have to cross Sunset Blvd, which is also very congested, and then go into BH proper and go AROUND, because of course, they didn't make it EASY to get to.
Then you have to find a place to park. Good luck with that.
Then you have to stand in line while the one person (ONE PERSON) finding pick-up mail is taking their sweet time doing it, and it's about 15 minutes per person, so woe betide ye if you're 5th, 6th, 7th or above waiting in line cause you're going to be there for the better part of an hour and some change. Which means back out to the parking meter, which means losing your place in line, which means you start all over again...(unless you can find some charitable soul, which you sometimes are able, but more often than not run into those just as frustrated as you and want to get their stuff and get the heck out of there NOW, so they're horkin' your spot; sorry dude).
But BHPO doesn't really give a flying crap what you think. Cause your complaints won't go anywhere or get anything accomplished. This has been proven in the 8 years I've lived here. So - consider this review LESS THAN ONE STAR!!!!! read more
