    USPS can be good, but in some locations where your packages go through you start to see a trend where your packages go missing. When that happens it’s almost always a difficult process to get any help from the call center due to their near impossible automated system. It can not get the long tracking numbers correct and will just hang up on you telling you it has other customers to help. This is the worst place I would not like my mail to come through but when other businesses ship my store bought package I can not control who they ship through and I’m stuck dealing with the mail system as they push it back on the mail courier.

    Postal Clerk Joe at the Olympia site on Jefferson would not allow me to finish a sentence when I went to ask about a certified letter I had a paper notice for. He was abusive in tone and volume. I asked him to allow me to finish my sentence and he told me "You are not listening". I asked for a supervisor who was polite and helpful. There are many Google reviews regarding this abusive desk clerk.

    Employee JJ at Vermont Post office location in Los Feliz, needs customer service training. Her attitude to customers is the worst I've seen from any business I've went to lately. Then when you return how they treat you back to them, they play victim. She needs to get fired. There is no need to be rude to customers when they ask why their appointment for a passport got canceled. And it's unprofessional to not send out a notice. Worst service ever.

    I don't understand why a package sits at a site for over 2 business days. It's 2 hours away but it gets sent back from NC to Ohio without being sent back. Sounds like a bunch of idiots work for Usps now.

    So here is my review of the USPS and it isn't great at all. In fact it's about as putrid as it gets. Do I ordered a 350 dollar item that was delivered to my mailbox (which one of those that you see in a line on the side of the road) and seeing how I was recovering from a spinal surgery and was unable to have someone get the package within the first few days it was delivered. That isn't the main issue though, the main issue was that for those three days that package was left sitting out there in front of my box on the side of the road out in the open for someone to pick up randomly and steal it which has happened before. When I complained what they told me was it was my fault that it was left out there for 3 days not theirs and wouldn't listen at all as I tried to explain that it didn't matter if it was 3 days, 3 months or 1 hour the fact that it was left out in the open for someone to take is beyond baffling to me.

    They delivered my package to the wrong address. The sender sent me a photo of the address on the package and it was correct. I asked where they delivered it to and they wouldn't tell me. They wouldn't compensate me for the package. Apparently, they can't read.

    Slow service, unreliable outdated tracking system. It's quite a shame to see nice dedicated worker in the post office and then a poor service. I'm wonder if could be because of low budget or lack of commitment in some key back-office roles. Anyway private better by far.

    The USPS is a train wreck that really need to be fixed by people who actually care. I mailed my passport along with money orders and paperwork on 9/24/24. Items never left the Gainesville office. I have had no help in retrieving or even replacing the items but I had had to pay a total of $40 to have my money orders that were in their possession tracked. How crazy is that. This needs to change. Fast forward, now I am waiting for another package to get delivered, did priority mail and guess what?

    The package is saying it’s still en route after being scanned in Jacksonville. This has been almost a week. I have emailed the Jacksonville office no one has responded. My next stop is to call the news station to bring awareness to what is going on and they need to be held liable. I wish I could put 0 stars. We shouldn’t have to pay $40 $50 to FedEx just for a letter to be mailed. We should be able to trust our local post office. Why does the mail need to leave Gainesville to go to Jacksonville and then to wherever? But I will not sit down on this.

    USPS said they would deliver my package without a problem. They made me pay $69.45 for delivery. They took the package, brought it to the Daniel Wyoming postal location where the staff refused to deliver it without reasoning. Fraud is a person or thing intended to deceive others for personal gain. I feel deceived, wronged and stolen from. They refused return delivery, refused redelivery despite never attempting to deliver and refused to refund as ** your delivery is not guaranteed.

    My mail is picked up by west delray post office. In Oct. I had 3 items taken. A total of 570 dollars. Two birthday cards containing $30 each and my home owners assoc. $570. A $50 gift card was stolen 2 months prior plus a package taken. I also had all of my bills with checks taken and was unaware of this until I started getting late payment notices with fees. They are thieves and we need a new system that is not corrupt. Not one thing was done by USPS to help me or fire these mail carriers.

    I ordered and paid $20 for my son's birth certificate. It came in the mail late. Not only did it come in the mail late but it was also severely torn and it came in a USPS envelope apologizing for the damage that the post office caused. I called USPS and they told me that they can't replace anything like a birth certificate that is torn up even though it was their fault unless I had insurance. However, insurance was not offered to me at the time I ordered the birth certificate. So, the USPS can tear your mail all up to hell and then they don't have to do anything about it or compensate you in any way.

    There is no way any private company will still in business with this reputation, This is indeed the worst postal service in the world. Their employees are the must non educated workforce I have seeing. I had not find one good thing about this company.... It's disgusting but the funny part is how American people talks so bad about third world countries. I advice them to take a look in the mirror and themselves as they really are. The government should get rid of this company and let a private firm take over.

    Absolutely the worst post office location that I’ve ever had to deal with! There’s way too many negative interactions with this place just for me but I’ll detail the most recent which is still ongoing…, Two days of not delivering my package due to lies that the postman, who “delivers” to my home, has put as the reasons. First day it was because of blocked entry, look at the photos to see the entry. Second day was because the business was closed! It’s NOT a business, it’s my home! And this is a package that can be left at the door without anyone home.

    Call up my local PO, but nope, their phone is always not accepting calls and it hangs up on you. But after hours, it’ll ring when there’s no one to answer. So now I’m emailing and calling the actual government USPS and filling out any review that’ll be seen! Hopefully someone who can do something about all the horrible reviews from this location, will finally get something done. It’s been years of these experiences from other reviewers on multiple sites!

    My package from Brazil has been in Miami SINCE September 07, 2024. I've waited 30 days, followed the instructions on the USPS website about going to the local post office, and when I went to TWO USPS local agencies, they told me they weren't aware of anything and could not file any form requesting information on my behalf and the information I've received via phone and USPS website WERE NOT ACCURATE. Unfortunately, there's nothing they can do about it. I've had ten people from the post office in Brazil and Brazilian customs telling me that the USPS said that since the package is in the US, they need the authority to request clarifications.

    Still, I WAS TOLD BY THE US POST OFFICE THAT I SHOULD HAVE THE BRAZILIAN POST OFFICE contact you guys. I've called 7X the 800 number BEGGING, crying for some reasonable explanation since I have the tracking number, and was told, 'IT IS WHAT IT IS.' USPS? Are we being punished for something we don't know? How low can you guys go? Could you let me know why you're keeping our packages? I was told that the hurricane had nothing to do with my situation. Could you let me know if you are trying to keep my package? Is incompetence being promoted and praised in the USPS?

    The USPS is the worst delivery service in the USA. Twice, I caught my postal carrier not delivering my package in my apartment mailbox, that indicated it was delivered in. Twice, my local post office sent the mail carrier back to actually deliver my packages. The third time this happened, my local post office refused to send the postal carrier back. I filed a case with the USPS Office of The Inspector general, and their office did absolutely nothing. In December 2023, I ordered a laptop.

    On December 7, 2023, the postal carrier came down the hallway, carrying my laptop box like it was a pizza. The seal on the top of the box was intact. The seal on the bottom of the box had been cut, except for the manufacturer's "check seal tape", and the box clearly had damage. The only thing inside of the box my laptop was supposed to be in was the power supply adapter to the laptop. I filed another case of theft with the USPS Office of the Inspector General, and once again, they utterly refused to investigate the theft whatsoever. I even sent the USPS Office of Consumer Affairs a packet containing information on the thefts, the attempted thefts, and Incident Report from the Fontan CA Police Department, and screenshots for the confirmation on the two (2) cases I filed.

    The USPS Office of Consumer Affairs sent back a letter stating that the package had been delivered, and closed the case. As a former sworn police officer, I must recommend that everyone find another method of sending products, or having products shipped. From the top of the USPS, to the bottom, all USPS personnel involved have utterly failed this 30 year soldier.

    Keep bounce our packages around the country even for things coming from one state over. Then lose the packages. Recent example. Part leaves WI for MN. Package goes from WI to Mn then out of nowhere it goes to NY. Once it got to NY it bounced around until it just disappeared. Had another one IL to MN. Left IL, went to MN, then MN to IL, IL to CA, back to IL, IL back to MN, MN back to IL, IL back to MN yet again, left MN center for a couple of days just to show back up at the same place. After all that bouncing around finally to our local post office a week late.

    Everything I ship or get shipped to me gets delayed or sent to the wrong part of the country. General mail is fine, only packages are causing my business misery. I have 10 examples from June 2024 to October 2024 but will provide 3.

    (1). A customer overnighted a check for $2500 from north Texas to South Kansas(250 miles) and it went to Rochester New York and stayed there for 5 days.

    (2). I shipped a package of farm parts from SE Kansas to west side of Missouri, the package sat in KC for 5 days, then my customer received a letter from the USPS and the label from my package. I filed a claim and told my claim will take 60 days.

    (3). I shipped a package from SE Kansas to the west side of Missouri and my package went to Louisville Kentucky and sat for 4 days there. The list goes on and on and on. I refuse to ship USPS, unfortunately using UPS costs my customers more money and unfortunately people that ship to me use USPS so my deliveries are delayed.

    There is absolutely no excuse for their poor service at their center in Zephyrhills, FL. People coming in to get mail being held as undeliverable are forced to wait hours because the center only had one employee manning that window. Meanwhile, there was 2 or more people helping customers in the lobby. Poor management poor service.

    Live in small mountain town with no USPS door delivery... Have to drive to PO building/counter to pick up mail/packages. Envelopes and such are in a keyed box so good to go with that stuff. (Understaffed so only one guy at counter M-F for picking up packages. No housing and USPS starting salary has something to do with this shortage.) Anyway back to this one guy at counter. He is drunk with power now and refuses to hand you your package(s) even when you are text notified that it is ready to pick up. Only if and when he is good and ready will he go back to shelves and get your package. Go away and come back later is his latest MO.

    Usually it takes until the end of next day for him to finally grace you with your package...but not until 4:20...ten minutes before closing. What do I do? Can I report him? Who would I contact in the USPS organization to report? Thank you to anyone out there that is listening. Will help others not just myself. This is like the rogue guy (Marlon Brando) in Apocalypse Now. Send someone on a mission to remove and replace.

    This is a review of P.O. Service in Lytle TX. Employee there is very rude and obnoxious for no reason when I mail a PKG. It's bad enough that postage cost is outrageous but the service is also terrible. I mailed a PKG (cost $12) and only had a $20 bill. The employee said they don't take $20 bills. Since when? I had no idea. The pkg had already been processed so I asked what I should do. They grabbed the $20 from me and acted like I had committed a crime. I'm 76 years old and treated like this. I'll be going to Natalia from now on to mail my pkgs, never Lytle again.
