USPS is under contract to act as a carrier for Amazon. I'm guessing that's a multi-million dollar…read morecontract annually. I imagine that is the money that keeps places like the Lagrangeville NY post office open and operational, as they no longer get federal funds for that. However, places like this post office are risking that multi-million dollar contract. Good luck paying all your salaries, pensions and overhead from the sale of stamps. If Amazon drops that contract with USPS many people will lose their jobs and pension. Yet, they prefer to grip onto an antiquated policy from the 1960's which allows them to lord over the giant and Americans. Well, we are pushing back. Here are the facts as I see them: 1. Places like the Lagrangeville Post Office are refusing to deliver Amazon orders to some homes. 2. Those homes are the ones without rural mailboxes out by the road. 3. Most of those homes are paying $200.00 a year for more secure PO Boxes inside post offices, instead of the free rural mailboxes that give access to identity and package thieves. 4. Instead of these customers getting the red carpet treatment, they are discriminated against, and selected for punishment. 5. Why ? Because many years ago small rural post offices had the "choice" of delivering packages to homes without a rural box. 6. Years pass. Morals change. Package thieves are everywhere. Nobody wants their purchases dropped by the side of the road anymore--away from camera focus. 7. The Amazon giant grows and needs additional carriers. So they contract with the most likely, USPS. 8. Are these employees bright enough to realize that Amazon simply wants their orders delivered without drama---to their customers door--or other designated areas? 9. Are these employees bright enough to realize that without a "refusal" clause in their contract with Amazon , they are in breach of that contract? 10. Are these employees bright enough to realize that the packages being delivered FOR Amazon are coming from a different group of packages than the packages being mailed by people walking into a p.o. and mailing through the USPS system? 11. Are these employees bright enough to realize that the Amazon giant is paying them for shipping AND returns, and when the post office LIES and tells Amazon that the delivery couldn't be made due to the customer moving, that they are double dipping? Getting 2 shipping payments while denying Amazon the completion of that sale? 12. Are these employees aware that such actions might be considered embezzlement? 13. Are they aware that lying and falsifying documents is illegal? Saying someone has moved, when they have all the proof on their side that they have not, is illegal? Or saying that the order "was delivered" when the tracking shows it was delivered to a city where the customer neither lives nor works, is illegal? 14. Are these employees bright enough to realize that the hand that feeds them might not want to have the recipient of those assets cause them lost sales? 15. Are they aware that Amazon doesn't care a lick WHERE any of their customers get their mail. That it makes no difference to Amazon if they receive their mail in a p.o. box or by helium balloon, pony express or carrier pigeon? Or if they receive mail at all? Amazon simply wants their packages delivered without drama--to their customers door! Not dropped by the side of the road under a rural box--even if every American had a rural box? 16. Are these employees aware that Amazon is fielding complaints all day long about USPS--as told me by an Amazon supervisor? 17. Are these employees aware that when Amazon merchandise that is shipped from California 5 times, and 5 times when it gets across the country, arriving in the Lagrangeville post office and the employees there return it to sender, while enriching themselves with 10 payments from Amazon in shipping and return fees, while causing Amazon to lose the sale-- may be a violation of the RICO Act--interfering with Amazon's ability to conduct business across state lines? I believe that is a Federal offense when it involves interstate business? Clearly none of this is good for the employer Amazon. But USPS could certainly be laughing all the way to the bank as they appear are making out like the bandits I believe they are!! 18. So now the big question to the Lagrangeville Post office is, "Are you feeling lucky?" I ask that because formal complaints are going out to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in Washington DC. To Attorney General Leticia James--and we all know she enjoys a good fight ( thank goodness here), to Amazon's Legal Department and blogs, websites and reviews. Plus we may be seeking legal counsel against this post office. 19. I encourage anyone else who is having their Amazon merchandise dropped by the side of the road, or not delivered at all, or returned to sender with lies posted as to why that was done--to complain to Amazon, Amazon's Legal Department, Louis DeJoy and Leticia James.

I overnight mailed a handmade art piece to be buried for a funeral and thanks to this post office, it almost didn't make it!! I had mailed it for $166 on a Friday to arrive on Saturday with a guarantee. It appeared to have arrived at the facility on Saturday morning but wasn't out for delivery. We cut them slack through the weekend and began to panic when it seemed to stay abandoned through Monday's business hours. After calling the facility, we were told the item never made it onto their trucks each day and they couldn't be sure when it would delivered, and said the recipient (my elderly mother with poor vision ) needed to go get it herself on site ! After much more back and forth they claimed to get it there by later that night - again, never happened . We lucked out as it ultimately got delivered less than 24 hours before the burial ceremony, and we were able to apply for a refund, but this was greatly unacceptable and a huge source of panic and stress for the recipient. Please do better next time.

The postal boxes are clean.. there's a table to do your mail business and work. Trash bins. Pens. Scissors. Pamphlets and all the mailers you can shake a roll of stamps at. Double doors make this location a quick alternative to other slow poke places where the line is out the door. Another bonus is that this USPS building is at the crossroads of major thru highways and roads. That way managing things you may have forgotten to mail or need to go home to fetch and send out, is a half-way back trip only. Never had an issue. Quick turn around, delivery and pick up, while the little delivery trucks putz about behind the building. Love that American Flag out front!! Rebel review: 5
