I don't usually write reviews unless i'm happy but this one is definitely an exception... but since i'm reporting them to their higher authority, why not yelp, too, to help other people out who are experiencing hardship and frustration with mail delivery post offices, particularly this one?!
The worst customer service I have ever experienced here and i'm returning from 17 years away from this area. Where do I begin and end? I'll try to be brief before I go back in there to make sure my mail is properly forwarded to another location in the area for "General Delivery". What I will say is make sure that you go do business at the Post Office already knowing what services are standard for customers and what is considered "courtesy". The supervisor Amber made me think she was extending a "courtesy" to me when it was just standard mail delivery options. I mean to let her know as I report the service to a higher authority about my important missing mail. I don't know how much mail has been delivered here that I haven't received in the last thirty days. I had to open a case and report identity theft and stolen mail...and i'm not done, especially if I can't retrieve my CA ID from the DMV that said they sent it a week 1/2 ago. They seem understaffed but the staff they have there move slow and lazy in the back. The mail looks strewn all over the place and they look disorganized. I had to go in there twice in one day to get mail I should've received once. The beginning: They charged me $22 late fee for a post office box i've had for six months, after a ten day grace period with their office being closed on the last day of the grace period, instead of Amber "extending the courtesy" of waiving that ridiculous fee (which actually would've been the definition of courtesy extended), she chose to mention a standard procedure that I could hold my mail for 30 days, but that my box would remain closed and they would switch out the locks and it would take up to 48 days for the box to be available, again. I turned in the keys and waited for the locks to be changed so I could retrieve the box (so I wouldn't have to change my address everywhere, which I now have to do, anyway because she made sure that I would have to, because I was getting around the late fee and she was all too happy she figured out how and threw it in my face 30 days later when she decided that the hold would be lifted at the 30th day mark AFTER I spoke to her staff that confirmed with me well before 30 days, and was told that my mail hold would be extended to May 5th and that my mail would NOT be forwarded to the change of address she forced me to give her 30 days ago that she conveniently forgot about yesterday (but prided herself on remembering the entire exchange that happened 30 days ago with her selective memory, apparently), when she simultaneously decided to override her staff and the confirmation the staff member gave me. The change of address for forwarding is in MD... so now I have to pay about $20 to get that mail, eventually). That forwarding address doesn't have my CA ID tho'...because this post office has it or one of their staff took my mail because i'm not understanding why I've been getting piece mail in fragments upon past deliveries unless my mail is scattered all over that damn office, disorganized and irresponsibly. Anyway, i'm about to calm myself down and focus on "general delivery" (that I just learned about when I placed my complaint with USPS with the intent of the US Postal Inspection Service also investigating my stolen mail), the general delivery will be set up at a different location closer to my house. I don't need to deal with the possibility of my mail being stolen here, again. I just put in my report to the Office of Inspector General, today. I hope there are cameras in there. Now, I have to find another post office to set up my box. Better I learned about their disorganization thru a simple mail hold that later tho'. I wonder how many other pieces are lost in the fray, there, that I might get months from now or not at all. Integrity is totally shot. FIRE THAT SUPERVISOR, ASAP, she went out of her way and she doesn't even know me, or what i'm capable of....she will learn because I don't have nothing but time when it comes to tampering with my identity. read more
