The other horrible reviews below are sadly true & the poor service obviously has been a problem, at least with this branch, for years & I don't see a solution.
New to the area (2-1/2 mos ago), EVERY piece of mail sent me is lost. Never recovered, just lost. How do I know? A few ways... I have Informed Delivery that blasts cricket sounds everyday, so the mail I'm awaiting for weeks or months never arrives... letters & manilla envelopes sent by family 2-4 times has never arrived or been found... when I pay $9 for certified delivery with a return signature card (which never is returned to me... never), it's delivered 6-8 wks later, the tracking number never works online (always says awaiting scanning) so I have to keep calling to see if it's been delivered & I can only find out yes-no by visiting the P.O. to check on it... which they so love.
Visiting is a treat. The tall, fat, bearded guy who'd rather be anywhere than at the front desk had only 1 piece of advice... pay to mail everything certified. Right, so I paid $9 to mail just 1 manilla envelope & you're saying if I want to send a letter to family I have to do the same... yes. But, how does that help what's being mailed to me, yet never arrives... his advice was to tell them to do the same. Right... no company is going to visit the P.O., pay $9 to mail something they normally drop in the box.
He did go to the back for 10-min to check on 1 certified piece of mail never received & told me it arrived. When I asked the date because I'd just called the company & they've never received it, he looked at the now 3 people behind me in line & said he didn't have time to check. You were just there, fat boy... didn't occur to you to glance a date! I asked if he could give me some sort of print out as proof it had been delivered... ( insert crickets ). He didn't have one, people in line, yadda yadda, I have my old receipt... so I left still not knowing or believing it's been delivered.
I see that there are equally poor reviews for all P.O.'s in Waukee, so as inconvenient as it is, next time I mail something, I'll go somewhere in DM. This still doesn't help that I'm not receiving ANY mail at my home.
I've lived in 11 states & this is the worst postal system I've ever encountered. Go anywhere else to mail your items... avoid Waukee at all cost.
