But not all locations nor all employees would fall in that category. I have been to this location of USPS a few times now and on all these occasions my experience has been very middle of the road. I wont say the service was top notch with a feeling of being taken care of; nor was it bad where I came away with negative feelings regarding that location.Maybe, that is a "win" for USPS :) I had stopped by to mail a letter bound for an international destination. The person helping me advised on all the various charges depending on the delivery time frame - from overnight to 10+ business days. She also gave me all the paperwork that I had to fill out in order for me to mail the letter over. She even let me cut back in line once I was ready. Overall, a decent experience at this USPS!

I like to support USPS over private companies, however they are not making it an enjoyable experience to use them. From a service prospective, 2 weeks before Christmas they only have 1 person working. She unfortunately can only do what she can. However, she clearly isn't even trained well enough to know where supplies are, as the label machine ran out of paper and she had to call someone to let her know where more was. Lastly, if they can't afford to pay more employees they should install a stamp machine here so you don't have to wait in line to buy stamps.

While I was in line, a customer left and she sprayed Lysol all over the counter and loudly complained to everyone that she "hates when customers do that," even though he did nothing wrong.

When it was my turn, I asked for certified mail and she immediately started raising her voice at me and other customers, telling everyone to have everything ready. Her attitude was completely aggressive for no reason. After checking me out, she threw my envelope onto the floor. I was honestly shocked. I ended up leaving at that point, and as I walked out, she continued yelling to other customers about my "attitude," which was completely unprofessional. I only come to this location because it's the only USPS within walking distance, but based on repeated experiences like this, I would not recommend it.

Dear US Postmaster General:…read more if you are looking for additional locations to consider for permanent closure, might I suggest THIS ONE, based solely on the woman working there at 9am Friday January 8th. Dear Readers, picture in your mind the stereotypical grouchy, unsmiling, overpaid Government employee, and you will know what I am talking about. I was 4th in line, witnessed her bossing around the poor man working with her, then getting bitchy with the man who shoveled out $80 to send a box overseas, but he didn't speak English. Hey, he had the right forms, and the $80 in cash, so who cares. And my crime? I am moving to DC, needed a PO box, and only had my Driver's license with me. Oh, and a wallet full of other ID's, but not my vehicle registration, because that was in my car, which was not in line with me at the PO, because why would it be? What is wrong with my credit card with a photo? It was good enough at another US Post Office? What about my Blue Cross Blue Shield card? What if I didn't have a car? Stupid, miserable postal cow. So I went to the very nice PO up in Cleveland Park where they were so nice, I felt as though I was home for the holidays. Nice man at the counter (cute in a postal kind of way), nice woman (Julie? Julia?) got my box all set up for me......

Well, really my one star is based solely on the one woman working today (8/11/12 @ approximately…read more11:40 am). I was using the automated postal center, and had two packages to mail. I was about to put them in the package drop, but then I read the note that packages over 16 oz cannot be dropped there (one of mine was). I knew there was one worker there, behind a closed door with a bell, as she was "helping" some other guy when I first came in. There was another couple that entered a few minutes after me and they were trying to figure something out about international mail. Another women and myself tried to assist them, before pointing them toward this mysterious door, behind which lurked an indignant postal worker, I would find. However, the postal worker was decent to the couple, so I figured I would try my chances. Before she closed the door, I dashed over to say - "Sorry, I have a question also." Why I started with that, I don't know, other than to appease the postal gods from tearing off my head. So I then quickly explained my dilemma (one package over 16 ounces, box says over 16 ounces is a no go, give to employee). She asks me if the packages are all ready to go. I said that they were, so she directed me to put them in the said box. I said "Are you sure?" - which was the wrong thing to say I found, as she became very defensive. She replied "ok", which I thought meant she was going to take the package, but then she was closing the door. I said "ok?" she said "ok, I told you what to do. Then you want to ask me if I am sure, this is my job." I said "Ok miss, I don't know why you have to be mean to me." She responded she was not being mean to me, but that I was questioning her integrity. I replied "Miss, I am not questioning your integrity, I just want to be sure you heard what I said about the weight." She responded that she had heard me because I repeated myself three times- which I had not. She then just closed the door on me, so yes I did say -in my normal speaking tone- you wonder why people do not like federal workers, it because they are all so rude. So I admit, not all federal workers are rude, but I have encountered my fair share of rude postal workers. I understand that my tax dollars do not go to them, unless it's a bailout, I do try to support government entities over private ones. And i support workers and unions. However, my experience with USPS really makes me question my thought process on this. If these rude postal workers worked at a private carrier, try would be fired in a few months. I would agree with Margot D who posted a review a few years back, that if in need of suggestions, the Postmaster General should close this branch-or at least remove this worker -as she is probably causing them to lose out on business. At least, they lost mine at this branch. All I am asking for here is some common decency-treat me, and the rest if your customers like humans. A little decency can go a long way in having returned to you.

I did get a wonderful employee named Dora. My package is being returned to me. She doesn't know why but the return process started (coincidentally) July 2nd. She signed me up for text messages so I can get texts regarding my return. It will be very convenient. She also offered to connect me so I could order more stamps when I said I need more. I rather go to the website and select what I like. I find that is a very convenient service too. I guess I'm just glad my mission for today is accomplished! I'm still a fan of USPS since childhood.

Thought I was fully covered doing that. Of course, when I got home my mail box was full and some items were left on a table in our building lobby. WTF??? When I went to the post office they had no answer other than to say my normal carrier was also out for a week. The replacement did not pay attention to my hold forms. Such a BS reason. Sounds like laziness to me, and ineptitude. All I received was a shrug and said they were sorry.

The interior was pretty much in order, supplies fully in stocked everywhere with the historic accents through out. I was able to ask a question while waiting in line, to see if there was a need to purchase tracking for a self postage package I put together. I was told no yet the packaged needed to be scanned to track. I got to the counter, smiles for everyone, got my package scanned & was good to go.

The shipment sat in Cincinnati for a day and a half and then on December 20th sent to the correct USPS Regional Center in Louisville 30 minutes away from the final destination. It left Louisville early morning December 21st with no destination listed per Tracking. The package showed up December 22nd in Leitchfield KY two hours away from destination. As of this writing it's sitting in Leitchfield 3 days past the estimated delivery and not even close to destination and no estimated delivery date. OK I know the standard line, it's Christmas time and they're busy YA DA YA DA. If you bother to follow the tracking, busy has nothing to do with it, it's incompetence. Finally, I signed up for alerts and the ONLY alert I got was when the package arrived in Evansville. All other tracking was done manually because I hadn't heard from them. There needs to be a total housecleaning from top to bottom at USPS and replace these clowns.

When I walk to po box from I don't take my bag with wallet in it because one time I was robbed while walking with purse and I have ptsd from it. so I used to put the extra fees on my tab then pay next time when I drove and had my bag with me and noone ever said it was a problem. That day all of a sudden that man said it doesn't work like that. He sounded very annoyed. He said that I couldn't take my packages and everything he said was hinting that I was trying not to pay. I make $200 per hour as an influencer so it would be unlikely. What is likely is that that man was trying to feel more domineering by trying to put down a woman via being in charge of the Ups shop. Everytime he would give me packages he looked displeased for whatever reason but that day was when he let it out. I get a lot of products sent to me by the brands. I work 7 days a week to be successful at what I do. If that employee finds it triggering he might want to work at a career upgrade i nsteaf of belittling female customers.
