In the last 3 years I have had so few positive experiences here, they are not worth mentioning. The staff is rude and condescending!! Only twice this year that I can remember did I have a nice clerk, but I believe they were new and in training. It's the permanent staff that are rude and the Manager is useless and does nothing to satisfy customer complaints. At Christmas time last year a piece of Certified Mail was lost, even though the Manager said that it was definitely checked into the post office. Here it is June and no follow up on that investigation.
Today I went to retrieve a package that was at the post office because Informed Delivery showed it being at the Post Office with an expected delivery date of Today. The clerk, rudely said "Are you gonna pay a $10.95 package interception fee?" I showed her my tracking info that the package should have been delivered today and she had me write down my tracking number and address and went in the back to check. I thought (stupidly) that she was being nice and was going to get my package. She came back with a 2 page printout of my tracking info and said "This doesn't say it will be delivered today, It will be in tomorrow's mail." I pointed to the top where it said expected delivery date of Today and she said "That's expected, not guaranteed, if you want the package it is $10.95". I paid $9 for the item and $4 for shipping. I said Why would I pay $10.95 when I am saving them the trouble of putting it on the truck and having it delivered. She said (rudely) "That's his job!" The manager did not help either. As I said earlier...useless. That clerk went through the trouble of physically verifying my package was there and instead of picking it up with one hand (It is small), she used that energy and more to make that printout to show me.
I certainly hope this poor customer service does not happen at all post offices. When I grew up we respected the postal worker, just as we did the fire fighter and police officer. They had nice uniforms and were proud of their career. Now the lack of pride shows horribly. read more
