I'll start off with this: I'm writing this review in hopes of finally receiving the promised response I've been waiting for now for months regarding multiple cases with this post office.
Ever since we moved and this office became our "local office," we rarely even receive mail. We have a new postal worker almost every week, and I have never met such awful people before. I've tried to nicely talk to them in person about the issues we've had (which I will detail below), and they either outright ignore me, put in headphones and place a phone call, or literally cuss me out in front of my child. I'm not kidding. All of this is over me simply and kindly asking, "Hey, do you know where my mail is and when it will be delivered?"
So here is the large list of issues we have had over the last few months:
1) We go days, sometimes a full week, without mail delivery. I've missed getting many important documents and packages on time due to this.
2) The carrier lies and says our mail is "undeliverable." They either say that there was "animal interference" when we don't have any pets, say "delivery attempted, mail room inaccessible" when it's always unlocked and even lit with security lighting, or "delivery attempted, signature needed, recipient not home" when I work from home and never leave on days when I'm expecting important mail. They simply don't want to deliver it, so they lie and mislabel the reason.
3) The carriers are incredibly rude. We are the type of family that leaves out presents for our postal workers on holidays. They are the type of carriers who refuse to have a conversation with me about missing mail and curse in front of my small child.
4) We've has multiple packages stolen. They are not being stolen from our mail room, as we have security cameras there. The packages are marked as "delivered," but they never arrive.
5) When we do receive mail, we often get mail from blocks away. I can almost guarantee that our mailbox will have at least 5 items meant for a different address during any given week (when the mail actually is delivered, which is rare). My husband and I go out on foot and redeliver the mail to our neighbors. We often see neighbors out doing the same thing, so this is happening to everyone in the neighborhood.
6) When mail does arrive, the postal worker often doesn't even bother to put it in our mailbox. They just throw the mail onto the floor. Not in a nice pile, literally scattered all over the floor. I'm not kidding.
7) I now have 8 open cases about missing mail/ packages with this post office. I haven't received a single follow up call about any of them. This post office simply doesn't care about their customers.
I'll end on this note:
I know the job of the post office and post delivery folks is a hard one. It's long hours with little thanks. I appreciate the work they must do (even though we never see it on our end), and I appreciate that they continue to operate as an essential service during these scary times. However, being a postal worker is a customer service position. Part of the job is actually delivering mail and speaking with the clients you serve. We will continue to leave out holiday gifts for them, but it's beginning to feel like we would be better off saying "goodbye" to the USPS and relying of a different mail service. read more
