    On 12/03/2025 3 pkgs were delivered to me. I live in a condominium complex on Stockinger Drive St Cloud 56303. In my locked mailbox a package key was in my box for Pkg Box 3P. Our mailboxes are outside. The key would not allow me or 2 other neighbors to open. I call the USPS and addressed the complaint. Today a USPS worker named Joanne O. called stating she worked for the Sartell MN 56377 but wanted to assist me with my issue. She drove to Stockinger Dr with a key to access the 3P box. After struggling a little she got it open and we parted ways.

    Well today 12/4/25 I have another pkg in 3P. When I put the key in it snapped. I still had Joanne O. in my recent call list. I sent her a text message. She immediately replied and the time is 18:33. She was so kind & said it will be taken care of tomorrow, When she responded it states Joanne V. (it states last name, but I don't want to document it here). I REALLY WANT THE USPS to know what an AMAZING employee Joanne who works for Sartell USPS is!!!! Her CS skills are OUTSTANDING! Thank you Joanne who works for USPS zipcode 56377 and is helpful to a customer whose zipcode is 56303.

    I had a problem where my new apt. mgr. had my (year long!) residency address as "vacant". So a package that should be delivered correctly was instead on its way back to the sender. That problem was resolved quickly but unfortunately, it was too late to intercept the pkg. I had the great pleasure to work with Customer Service Agent Ms. **, who I cannot speak highly enough of! Her calm, professional abilities & kind friendliness made this unfortunate little incident less of an annoyance. I sure did appreciate her service today!

      After living in Peachtree City for over 20 years, I’ve had countless experiences at the local post office—but my recent encounter with Dasia, a postal clerk, was truly refreshing and memorable. From the moment I stepped up to her window, her warm smile, cheerful demeanor, and genuine positivity instantly brightened my day. In a world where people often seem rushed, distant, or even downright rude, Dasia is a rare gem. Her energy is absolutely contagious—in the best way possible. She reminded me of the simple but powerful saying, “Be the one to put a smile on someone’s face today.” That is exactly what she did.

      It’s not just about doing a job; it’s about how you make people feel. Dasia has a natural gift for customer service, and I sincerely hope her light continues to shine brightly. Her presence at the Peachtree City Post Office is a blessing, and I left feeling seen, appreciated, and genuinely uplifted. Thank you, Dasia, for being you. Pleasant, professional, and kind—it truly goes a long way.

      Today I had two issues. 1) Alert notification and 2) Account reset. I called in the Customer Service line and got unto a CSR named Greg, who was AWESOME. Greg was patient, knowledgeable, accurate, helpful, polite, professional and had the best customer service ethics I have experienced in a very long time. He was able to quickly resolve my two issues. USPS, if all your workers are like Greg, you would be the best customer service organization in the US. Kudos to Greg.

      Today, I had the distinct pleasure of receiving truly outstanding service from Ivana during my passport renewal process. Initially, I was directed by the State Department to a different post office in Fredericksburg, where I had a less than satisfactory experience (600 Princess Anne St, Fredericksburg VA 22401). Despite having an appointment, the interaction was unhelpful (the ruddiest) and left me feeling frustrated, disrespectful and misinformed.

      Fortunately, I contacted the State Department again, who then directed me to the post office just a block from my home (15 Litchfield, Fredericksburg 22406). It was there that I encountered **, and her assistance was nothing short of remarkable. Even though it was nearing the end of her shift (almost 3:00 PM), she willingly and graciously offered to help me, ensuring my application was correctly processed. Her proactive offer of assistance, when I was prepared to return another day, demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to public service.

      ** exemplified a true public service mindset. I observed her interact with not only myself but also other customers, patiently offering detailed explanations and dedicating the necessary time to each individual. Her willingness to go above and beyond, coupled with her professionalism and clear communication, made a significant difference. Without her dedicated support today, I am confident I would have faced further delays or rejection of my application. Her exceptional dedication and genuine desire to help others are truly commendable. I firmly believe that individuals like Ivana, who consistently demonstrate such a high level of service and care, are natural leaders whose approach should be emulated by others. My sincere gratitude goes to ** and the entire team at this post office for their professionalism and support. I feel incredibly fortunate to have met her today.

      I have been quite frustrated with USPS in last few years. I buy/sell on eBay and Etsy as well as buy on Amazon, etc. For my stores I purchase postage from my office and follow tracking. I pay extra for Priority which really has come to mean nothing special. Estimated delivery dates from CA to east coast Priority are 2-4 days but most of the time now it takes a FULL week which is same as the 'Ground Advantage' [no advantage, it's a joke]. We are all being ripped off!

      Also, tracking times are off even at our local PO. When I mentioned this the window clerk said 'sorry'. Then I mentioned the slow delivery times with Priority, he said 'if you're dissatisfied, get another product'. WHAT?? The only upgrade is EXPRESS which costs more than the item is worth 1/2 the time! If I had UPS near me I'd never use USPS. Etsy and eBay rate the seller on speed of shipping and delivery. If tracking isn't exact what is the point?! Amazon gets it right most of the time, maybe USPS should check out their shipping model!! HINT HINT!

      Had four packages of important papers to be delivered to four different addresses by priority mail 2-3 day service. One package was delivered to Colorado in four days, I can live with that. One package to Washington state took 2 weeks. Another one is still not delivered to Montana. Now 17 days. One package to Canada still not delivered. I am through with using the USPS.

      Had mail held while away for 10 days. Carrier lost 2 days of mail. I know because I have our mail scanned daily. One day included replacement credit cards. Sadly, I can see holiday cards from out-of-state friends that I never received. Local post office person was useless and super rude every time I spoke with her. Mail deliverer was also not very nice anymore after I asked where he might (must) have mis-delivered the two days of our mail. Do yourself a big favor, don't allow USPS to hold your mail while away...unless you're okay with it being lost.

      Broken merchandise, had a note saying it was broke before they received it. Had packages lost several times, filled a report and nothing. Poor customer service. I prefer UPS or other carriers for insured delivery.

      USPS author review by ConsumerAffairs Research Team

      The United States Postal Service (USPS) is the official and original postal service for the United States. Ever since Benjamin Franklin was appointed as the first postmaster general in 1775, USPS has been delivering mail to people across the country. Today, USPS has expanded its services to also include international shipping, package shipping and priority mail.

      • Easy to use: Anyone can send mail through USPS by using their home mailbox or dropping their mail off at any post office in the United States. Consumers and businesses can also arrange for package pickup online, making it easy to mail packages without leaving home.

      • Mail options: USPS offers several mailing options so consumers can find a shipping timeframe and cost that meets their needs. Priority Express fees start at $22.95, and shipping runs seven days a week, so packages will be delivered on weekends. First class mail is available to send items weighing up to 13 ounces. Stamps cost only 47 cents, and your parcel will be delivered within one to three business days.

      • Precious Cargo Box: Consumers who are sending fragile items can purchase a Priority Mail Precious Cargo Box. These boxes ship for a flat rate and include $50 worth of insurance. They include polyethylene foam dots or inserts that prevent items from moving during transport. Precious Cargo Boxes are available in three sizes.

      • Shipping insurance: Consumers and businesses can purchase insurance to cover the cost of their package up to $5,000 for standard mail in the event of damage or destruction. Most priority mail shipments automatically come with $100 worth of insurance, and more can be added on for an upcharge.

      • Military and diplomatic mail: Send packages to your loved one who is in the military for the price of domestic shipping, even if they are overseas. Save an additional two dollars when you use a large flat rate box. You can print off a label complete with custom forms right from your home printer and arrange for home pickup to simplify the process of sending a package to the military overseas.

      The ConsumerAffairs Research Team believes everyone deserves to make smart decisions. We aim to provide readers with the most up-to-date information available about today's consumer products and services.
