THE ABSOLUTE WORST!!!!! They say they try to deliver registered packages that require a signature three times. They tried ONCE, WITHOUT RINGING MY DOORBELL, a week ago, on a Monday during the average person's work hours. They have NOT tried again (no additional notices). It's now Saturday, they didn't try today and I've rescheduled delivery for Monday and must TAKE THE DAY OFF to receive my package. Otherwise they say it will be returned (TO THAILAND!) on Tuesday, because their Monday attempt (only their second try, which I had to go online to schedule because this post office DOES NOT HAVE A WORKING PHONE NUMBER) might happen without them ringing my doorbell, and I was just told that's their final delivery attempt even though it's only the second one, which I had to ask for. I cannot even go there to pick it up as it will (supposedly) be out for delivery that day. Please tell me, FAILING OAKLAND POST OFFICE, how you manage to deliver packages! You are the WORST. Oakland has a reputation for inadequate or non-existent mail delivery and you deserve it.
AND I just experienced the absolute RUDEST phone call to their 800 number. I wish I had the person's name because I'd file a complaint. I'm sure that would get me nowhere, though, as your friendly US Postal Service DOES NOT CARE AND REFUSES TO SIMPLY DO THEIR JOB. I don't care at this point if the US Post Office goes out of business, you are useless. You most likely just cost me my package, which was important and took two weeks to get to Oakland. There is apparently so much job security involved with that job that carriers can skip doing two-thirds of their duties, and the phone people (I refuse to call them customer service) are unbelievably rude. I think I'll apply for a job there so I can blow off my job and the people it's supposed to serve, the TAX PAYERS. I'm tired of being polite in my job, so hey! Maybe the post office is just right for my next career! read more
