Customer service keeps getting worse, if that is possible, and employees are becoming downright mean. In addition to being lazy. They are not even answering the phones most times during business hours. (many attempts for hours on April 26, 2018 as example) About 2 months ago, after many times being told Charles, the postmaster, is out for 3 weeks and that there is NO supervisor, I went to the post office to retrieve mail that was not delivered for days. I was told by an extremely rude black woman to wait by 'the door' for someone to come; after 15 minutes the same employee came to the door and said the person I needed already went home! I asked for my mail and was told that she couldn't give it to me and when i asked why not she said it was not her job and her only job was to stand at the counter and ranted about this a few more times about how her only job was to stand at the counter!!!
Mail delivery has been unreliable for over 20 years.
Frequently priority mail packages take weeks to arrive. The USPS is quick to point out priority mail is NOT LATE for 45 DAYS!!! I have had to drive over 20 miles one way twice in the last year to get priority mail packages because they were time-sensitive and the Batavia USPS couldn't go get them for 3 days. They said it was not their fault the machine read one digit wrong on a label they printed!!!
Currently waiting for a package they say will arrive today but left from two thousand miles away 12 hours ago after sitting in that state for 3 days!!!
Last time that happened (about a month ago), they couldn't locate the priority mail for 3 weeks....and couldn't understand why it sat in Sacramento for 8 days--especially when they were already looking for it.
Finally today one employee answered the phone and said they have no postmaster these days as Charles left. If I want to speak to a supervisor I'd better call early... The people in back are supposed to answer the phone and when they go home no one answers.
Hopefully, they get a new postmaster soon; Charles was supposed to be the fix-it postmaster and it seems that is when people started getting mean. read more
