It is impossible to talk to a real agent. The automatic phone line asked all kinds of questions, but then when I answered the question and gave the tracking number, it said it did not get it and kept asking me for it. Finally, it asked me to call back when I have the tracking number. It is so frustrating and time wasting. I wish USPS can improve this phone line issue, so the customers can actually get some help. The tracking showed that the package is being returned. But it has been a couple of months and I still have not received it.

We have a mail box where USPS is the only carrier that had access to put mail and small to medium sized packages in. Today I saw the USPS driver drop a small size envelope off at the door and was utterly confused because they've never done this before. When I retrieved the package I saw a large tear In the side and the contents were empty. I then realized the reason that the USPS driver did this was because he figured that by putting the empty package on the step he'd be able to blame it on a passerby (that would never happen in my neighborhood). Upon contacting USPS they ignored the claim and essentially said there was no way for me to prove it. This is a terrible organization and should be replaced by FedEx or UPS as both of these companies (in my experience) will bend over backwards for their customers while USPS will just try to **.

USPS seems to be above the law and any complaints via the BBB so I'm coming after them here. I have a remarkable backlog of insurance claims that they have yet to make good on. They deliberately make the claim process difficult and drag it out for months. Oftentimes the claims packets they are supposed to mail never come. I currently have four open claims, the oldest dating back to 11/2016. The ones that they HAVE closed was because the item was found after months and the customer no longer needed it and was refunded anyway. This company is full of government BS and they get away with it. They owe me about $1400 bucks in lost international packages and if they don't start cooperating I want someone to investigate them for fraud. They take our insurance money and give themselves more paid holidays. Enough is enough, run it like a normal business and be accountable to your customers!!!

I sent mail several times to my grandchildren and it has been either undelivered, lost or stolen. I didn't have tracking numbers so was told there was nothing that could be done. Even though online isn't exactly the safest, that is how I will be paying bills and sending items directly to their email accounts from now on. And the postal service thinks they need a raise in postage rates??? Get real!

Do not waste your time with the USPS! Over the last couple of months I have had 8 packages delivered late! I have only had 2 show up on time. As I type this out I have 4 packages that was to be delivered today that did not! I will pay more to have the professionals at FedEx or UPS to ship and deliver my items from on!

Worst service, worst PO and now the worst Christmas shipping year for USPS. As a military family we've used USPS for years-sometimes for cost or obligation depending on where we lived. I no longer trust or respect the USPS. When I left Hawaii I knew I had to use priority mail. I shipped 11 boxes to myself at my new home in FL. I had the tracking but we had 1 box missing for over a week, with no updates in the USPS service computer -- so lost is just lost when the PO do not scan the boxes as required. Until we met the required tracking investigation with the manager. Hours later without a phone call (we had to leave with mgr) our postal delivery person dropped this "missing box" off without notification. Hmmm was it lost right there in my local po? I think so. Because it's happened many times since then. It was then I learned they don't all have them-so that TRACKING number on your receipt may never even be used.
Remember to get that "free" tracking the USPS increased their prices. I know this because while living in Hawaii for 2 years no doubt in my mind I shipped at least 80 boxes. While living in Pensacola Florida I have experienced the worst PO of my life. Frequently lose boxes of mine or can't track or answer without a care or concern. So my husband and I both a PO boxes at this same local office for business reasons and personal too. So yes, I've paid to be a customer for shipping but also a recipient. The new and recent tactic is being used now at the NOBLES Station, Pensacola FL post office. I track my boxes online and most often do not get a notification in my box on the same day. I was made aware that it is scanned in but on a pallet. It takes them another day to check in all boxes. Ok, I don't work there so maybe that is true. We don't have a posting of when to expect our mail at our location-not even a possible by time of the day.
So I wait now for the 2nd day. Recently no notification but I've tracked and given a day. I now stand in line while they go search for a box. 90% of the time I did indeed have a box but no card or key in my PO as the normal procedure. I tell the clerk at the desk this now has happened 4 times and she shakes her head and gives no reasoning. Go back to the website and it now says--your box has been delivered. Sure it has with me driving to, standing in line and waiting while they go through what must be a broken system, disorganized and not ethical way of doing business. I've also been there on Sat when the cards are only placed 20 min until closing so you can't pick up your box/parcel. Are we thinking something’s up or shady? I am. I don't trust my PO and only ship priority.
Recently I join the many out there that sent priority and 1st class mail only to have things arrived either on time or nearly 2 wks later. I am fully aware it's a busy time of year and plan accordingly. My tracking this year just baffled me when it basically said, "in limbo" with a delayed status and NO delivery update. Just on the way. So I think this is the quality service I paid for? Shipping with USPS is outrageous cost so I expect more. Yes, I am looking for a new location to receive mail. Yes, I am also writing the POST master general. I say to our President Trump. I believe that due to the untrustworthy, unprofessional and poor service of the USPS, if it were not for Amazon I do not believe the USPS would continue to exist. They surely have disappointed this year and failed, miserably.

I ordered a gift for a family member on Dec 4th. It got to Chicago on the 21st and has been heading to Miami since then. It said it was on route on the 22nd and then on the 23rd the same thing. I called and the automative service couldn't understand the tracking numbers, finally got through to somebody who didn't help much. Only saying it just got checked on the 25th. Now it's delayed but still on its way with no information. I need a callback or email. This is ridiculous! It's past Xmas. It was suppose to be here on the 26th. It's about to be new years. Everything else I ordered from the same place came. But the most expensive one is not here yet! Whats going On? I don't wanna call corporate about this!

Dec 19, 2017 sent 2 med priority packages to my son, spending the extra to get in time for Xmas. He's military with no family where at, but is in US although no longer on a military base. Packages have moved to two locations with notice it will not make it by expected date as of Dec 24, 2017. By Dec 26, 2017 in transit again to his city but no expected date and same info each date since. It is frustrating that USPS is offering a service they get away with consisting failing to meet. I believe this bordering on fraudulent behavior by a government entity even though they offer a service 2-3 day at higher rate with disclosure no guarantee. If I had known they weren't even going to get close to that, as is the case apparently with so many, I would have made alternate arrangement. I will file a claim for insurance if package still has not arrived by date allowed and will never rely on them again.

USPS Holladay Park Post Office. December 4, 2017: I have sent registered envelope that contains valuable documentations and must arrived in the Philippines no later than end of December. Because of the urgency and tight deadline for these documentations to arrive in the Philippines I had selected registered mail. Staff in USPS made me aware registered mail takes 20 to 22 days due to staff who handles my registered envelope will need to be documented and signed which I am pleased with the process. So staff billed me $16.10 for a small white envelope.
December 26, 2017 I called my sister in the Philippines and instructed her to check the Philippines Post Office to make sure the registered mail I sent tracking #** has arrived. Philippines Post Office staff notified my sister that the registered mail I sent has not left the USA. My registered mail had been delivered to Wisconsin on December 7, 2017 and received and signed by the last name **. The recipient for the registered mail I sent is Maria ** not **. So much for registered mail and the tracking gone bad and messed up system! I will give you one star because I forced to give you one star... But technically staff in Holladay Park Post Office is zero star! Disappointed customer.
I am disappointed with Holladay Park Post Office, Oregon staff/supervisor/manager because they failed to own their mistakes, lack of customer service, unprofessional, not willing to assists in resolving important issues. Instead I had been blamed for putting the incorrect address and it was the reason it went to Wisconsin. I have proof of receipts that the registered mail needs to be mailed International-Philippines not Wisconsin. Manager in the Holladay Park Post Office Portland Oregon made promises if I can re-create my important documentations that she will send express delivery to make sure Philippines no on time.

I mailed a small padded manila envelope to my son with veterinary chewable flea meds for his dog on 12/7/17 via Priority mail with a two day delivery. Package showed that it was delivered on 12/9/17 but my son never received it... obviously delivered to the wrong mailbox. On 12/16/17 I filed a claim online, that is another experience if it actually goes through without an error, try again message, and waited. On 12/25/17 I received an email from USPS asking me to complete a survey on how satisfied I was with their service on this claim. I had not received any correspondence from USPS at all on this claim so you can imagine my reply... there has been no service. I have tried calling to speak with a human... forget that. I have tried calling my local post office for assistance and they tell me it isn't their problem and they cannot help in any way.
I have tried calling the post office that would have delivered the mail and their phone is busy no matter what day or time of day you call and obviously, it is in another town across the state from me so I cannot drive down and stand in line to speak with someone in person. So, I called the automated line today 12/28, to check again on the claim and spoke with a robot who states simply... that my claim has been resolved... no other info on what that means... and good bye. So it looks like I am out $50 approx for the meds that are in limbo or someone else is using them or has passed them on to another, but the intended addressee never received, and USPS does not care one bit about this package or providing an answer to the problem.
USPS is filled with a lot of people who like collecting their paycheck but don't want to provide a decent service and they are set up to keep you from contacting a human at all, unless you have the ability to stand in line at a local office and take the chance of wasting your time on that when they tell you it is someone else's problem and they cannot help you. NEVER USING THE USPS FOR MAILING ANY PACKAGE AGAIN.

I buy almost everything online during the holidays... Expecting my items to be delivered as gifts is extremely important... I have had NO ISSUES with any other delivery companies, but you better bet your bottom dollar that if the delivery is being made by USPS there will be a issue. So far in just the past few weeks, I have had a TEMP MAIL CARRIER deliver several of my packages to the WRONG ADDRESS, and had to track them down thru my local Postal Branch to get them delivered properly, I have shipped gifts to my family in California, which they get to the branch in California, then disappear which I again had to call the USPS postal inspector to find out what happened to my packages and have had several items that are "showing" to be shipped by the company I order the product from, but as far as USPS site, show in PRE-SHIPMENT for days and days...
USPS is the most unorganized and ineffectively run company I have ever seen. They hire TEMPS that take the packages or steal them (not sure which) and USPS does nothing about it until you call and are forced to basically track down your own package. Very Disappointing, and I will be sending things only FedEx or UPS from now on, If I have a choice in the matter!!!

I paid almost $20 for 3 day shipping on the 18th and I didn’t get my package until the 26th. I would of had free 4 - 7 day shipping but I wanted to make sure my item arrived before Christmas seeing as it was my 6 year old sons big Christmas present from Santa. I called my local Portland, MI post office and spoke to the postmaster Jason. As well as waited on hold for almost 3 hours on hold with the corporate USPS phone number to speak to a supervisor. Both Jason and the corporate USPS supervisor I spoke to were extremely rude and basically told me it wasn’t their problem and they refused to refund me for the horrible service I received that I would of gotten sooner if I used the free shipping even though they ruined my sons Christmas. I will never use their horrible service again. Not because my package was late, I understand they can’t control the weather. But because of the horrible customer service I received.

I paid for a package to be shipped on the 12/20 with expected delivery date of 12/23. The package is still missing. First I was told by the 1-800 number that the package was still at the distribution center and has never left as 12/22. As of today the Supervisor Kevin at the Garden City location is saying the package was scanned and put on the truck, but the truck was not scanned. I asked if that meant the whole truck was missing and he said "yes". He stated he would reach out to the Allen Park location and call me back with an update.
I called him back 3 hours later and at that time he told me it could take up to 24 hours for a response, even though Vanessa from the 1-800# told me she put in a claim with a message for the distribution center to call me ASAP to see if they were going to same day ship it, since they dropped the ball on shipping as paid for! I have yet to hear from them. The impression giving is that they could care less and have no intention on doing what should be done to take care of the problem. As I told Kevin, I could drive the package to Virginia in less than 24 hours! There is no accountability for the postal staff not doing their job! I would consider this mail fraud since they took my money for a service that they did not provide and Kevin said there is no refund! WHAT A BUNCH OF SCAM ARTISTS!!!

On December 19th, 2017, I paid a non-negotiable Priority Rate at my local USPS to ship 1 package from Tucson Arizona to Surprise Arizona. Surprise Arizona is a Phoenix suburb only 90 miles from Tucson. Receipt showed the expected delivery date to be December 22, 2017.

I dropped off a box at the local Post Office on the 19th of December. It never showed as scanned into the system until the next day, the 20th. I was OK with that since the Postal Service stated on their website that the 20th was the cutoff for Priority Mail packages to be delivered before Christmas. On the 21st, I noticed that the package, which was going from Utah to Wisconsin, was now scheduled to be delivered a day AFTER Christmas on the 26th.
Well, today is the 26th and still no delivery of the box and it is still showing as being "in transit". I also watched a Salt Lake City television station's story, last week, about how the Postal Service is showing Amazon preferential treatment of their boxes... due to the contract that USPS has with Amazon. However, the Postal Service was reporting to Amazon that boxes were delivered on time but, in actuality, were not being delivered but the carriers were being told to report them as delivered. The USPS needs some serious overhauling... There is no accountability, tracking it almost non-existent, and there is poor morale. Either FIX it or do away with it.
Updated on 12/30/2017: The good news is that my box finally showed-up in Oshkosh, WI this evening... several days late but at least not stolen or lost. It has not been delivered yet but I am hopeful that it will be delivered within a day or two and be in good condition. The good news also is that the local Post Master in Provo, Utah (Rick **) was a shining light in all of this. I contacted Rick about this missing package and he went the extra mile to try to find out where this box was, even calling the Post Master in Mosinee, WI to see if he knew anything about the box.
Rick emailed me, at least twice a day, to let me know that he was still actively working the missing package case and would give me updates on what he was finding out. I realize that The United States Postal Service has some VERY serious problems but they do have good people working for them like Rick **. I applaud them for that and sincerely thank Rick for all of his thankless work that he does in running the Provo, Utah center and for his outstanding customer-service.

Sent out my present on December the 19th. Sent priority mail two day shipping. Paid extra to make sure it would arrive by Christmas and yet it’s the 26th and just now out for delivery. If I’d wanted it to arrive now I could sent it first class and spent a lot less. I understand that it’s busy this time of the year but I expected it could take an extra day or two but that would make it arriving Saturday at the latest not on Tuesday a week after I sent it out!

On 12/18/17 I sent a package through USPS to Colorado, paid extra for what I was lead to believe was 2 day guaranteed delivery (the receipt referenced the expected delivery date of 12/21). The package will be delivered on 12/26, 6 days late. I went to the PO today looking for a refund only to be told that the 2 day delivery is not guaranteed, it's only an estimate. I know that was not explained when I paid for the package. This is the 3rd time that a package has not been delivered on time, the others were not during the holidays. The last package bounced back and forth between Denver and Arizona for 5 days before it finally was delivered. This, on top of the fact that the USPS will not deliver packages to my doorstep (I have to go to the PO to pick them up), yet all the other delivery services always deliver to the door, I'm done using USPS shipping my packages.

I am absolutely disgraced with this company on many levels. To begin a bit of background, I am a go citizen and I have sent parcels to my girlfriend in the USA through Royal Mail and USPS. I sent a package through Royal Mail and the package got to America in two days!! (Wow) So I was like great. Until it got into the hands of USPS who took over a week for it to get to its destination. Another situation is this Christmas my girlfriend sent me a package via USPS paying extortionate rates to have it sent. With what she paid she got tracking and "priority" so it took 2 days to get from her to Memphis where it then got lost for about 3 days, it started moving again and got to Miami where it stayed for over a week!! Then as far as me and my girlfriend were notified the package had mystically appeared in London Heathrow airport and it was on its way to me, So I thought, So about 10 days go by, STILL NO PACKAGE!!!.
In this time I sent another one to my girlfriend with plenty of time so I thought to spare. At this point I was sick of relying on the tracking information and called the company that the package was supposed to be handed to in the UK. They told me exactly where the package was... IT WAS STILL IN AMERICA BECAUSE USPS IS ALSO KNOWN AS ULTRA ** POSTAL SERVICE!!!! Then me and my girlfriend confronted usps who were just as clueless as I was before calling parcel force. And their response was: "It is not lost, we just don't know where it is". An oxymoron if I have ever heard one. In conclusion this company should be embargoed and no one should ever use this service. P.s I only put one star Because 0 stars was not an option.

I have never had an issue with mail delivery until I moved to Boyds, MD two years ago. First, my daughter paid for overnight delivery to get her ID from the MVA because it was needed for domestic travel. I stayed home to wait for the package while my daughter was in class. The package never came, yet the tracking information said that delivery was attempted. I drove to the post office up the street from my house and was told that I needed to go to my "home office" which was in Germantown. I then went there, which was further away, and retrieved the package. I was annoyed because I had to spend my time and gas to do someone else's job.
Second, I found a delivery attempted slip in my mailbox with only a tracking number. No other information; not where to go to pick up the package, not even the name of the intended recipient. I drove to my "home office" in Germantown and was told that the package was not there. It is being held at my "home office". Ok, I thought THIS was my home office. They sent me to the Clarksburg office. Well, Clarksburg is not my home office so they sent me to a third post office which is in Boyds. So, I live 1 mile from the Clarksburg office, my mail is delivered by the Germantown office which is 3 miles away, but my home office where my mail is held (after only 1 delivery attempt) is 4 miles away. OMG! I'm now super annoyed!
Now, let's talk about today. It's Saturday, December 23rd and I'm waiting for an item that I ordered for Christmas. It's 11:35pm. The tracking information states that it will be delivered today by 8:00pm. I've been checking the front porch since I got the update at 7:38pm, I've been checking the mailbox, and still nothing!

I have perishable items being sent by a shipper who has used the Woodbridge VA post office and they REFUSED to do 2 day shipping. It has not even left the facility despite the tracking saying it did.

Ok so on 12/11/17 I sent 8 quarts of homemade chili and salsa to my son in the military. It was wrapped so dang good and marked priority and fragile all over it. It had been in limbo (in transit) since the 13th. We had an investigation going which they did not do until today 12/21/17. Got a call that they will be delivering just part of the box to my son. Obviously someone either totally carelessly trashed it or stole the contents. This is the second and last time I will EVER use the USPS again!

This was supposed to have been delivered the 16th but I knew due to the holidays it might be a few days late. I put my heart and soul into this gift for my boy and all I got to say is they are taking on more than they can handle with Amazon and all. Besides the point there are careless workers and thieves that work there! I used to be able to put my trust into the postal office as I truly believed they were good honest hardworking people. My daughter works at one and the morale is so low with all the hours and working Sundays due to Amazon.
Pay is not what it used to be nor is anything else. Sad. Amazon uses them. They would be better off finding another way. I understand seeing previous comments why third party sellers and Etsy and eBay sellers dropped out so they are not to blame for the postal offices' negligence. I get to put in a claim for 50 bucks. Big woop! Can you really put a price on that? I am not done. A segment need to be done about this on the news... at least local. A local senator is also a friend.

Our mail carrier has always done a good job, so we believe that the problem may be in the central distribution site, but we had bills lost in Dec. They put up a sign outside the PO boxes telling people to take mail inside. Can they not have a camera up to discourage theft? We don't know where the mail was lost at. But it has caused MAJOR headaches. We thought the bills had gotten to them on time, so we ended up with fees, penalties and interest increased for the credit card bill. They didn't believe that we had sent it in time and we did. Now we have to sort this all out and the companies could not care less - if it was lost then it's YOUR problem. This is not acceptable.

I have had a very bad experience with postal service lack of accuracy and customer service previously, but after this experience I will mail everything I can with FedEx. Their so-called customer service is nonexistent!!! My sister sent my birthday gift priority mail, supposedly insured. However, when I tried to enter a claim for the broken paper towel holder, I could not drag the file showing the value of the item or the picture of the damage. The smallest picture my computer would send was 2.4 mb. The p.o. only accepts 2mb, nothing larger. I tried and tried to drag the page showing the worth, but was unable to do that. The clerk at my local p.o. said that I could call the postal number and they would help me.
I called the number they listed on the website and what sounded like a recording shouted a long string of numbers and then disconnected! So I tried e-mailing them to ask for a phone call. The website said they would respond within a day. Instead I got an e-mail telling me that the 2 items I could not include in my claim have to be included. I have tried and tried and cannot accomplish this. So the insurance was worthless. What are people who have no access to a computer or cannot load the required pages supposed to do? I usually dislike private contractors for government functions, but in this case I believe we should try a corporation that understands customer service and will actually back up their insurance policies.

I am 51 yrs old and the Post Office was the people to count on. Not so within the last 2 decades (20 yrs) they don't care where things go. Have the nerve to charge outrageous prices and they are the WORST! My sister in Connecticut, mailed a birthday card to me the end of March, well my neighbor whose address is on another street and our names are not similar delivered it to me 2 months later. My daughter is now waiting for her payroll check, mailed Wednesday, December 13 and it is Wednesday, December 20 and has not received it yet. It's Christmas time and she needs to finish shopping for her child.
No one in Post Office knows and doesn't want to know. They are clueless. This is coming from a Pennsylvania based company to North Carolina, we could have driven up there and would received it quicker than now. USPS slogan rain, snow sleet (dependable) NOT THIS DAY IN TIME. When applying for employment you have to take a STUPID TEST. WHY??? NO MATTER OF THE LOCATION THEY ARE IDIOTS!!!

My package was supposed to be delivered to Catonsville on 12/18 instead it was sent to Nottingham. I called the Nottingham location on 12/19, I spoke with Ms. ** whom left me on hold for an hour while “she attempted to locate my package”. I hung up, called back to speak with a supervisor (I didn’t get his name but it was a ** male). He stated that the package would’ve been placed in a mis-sent bin and mailed out on 12/18 @ 8pm so the package should be in Catonsville (I never received an apology for being left on hold). I called the Catonsville location and spoke with a supervisor by the name of Mr. ** whom stated that they received all of their mail including the late mail and they do not have my package.
I called Nottingham once again and spoke with a supervisor name Linda whom stated she isn’t sure where the package could be and reiterated what the other supervisor said about the mis-sent packages. I asked her if it would’ve been scanned as a departure she said no. I asked if they kept a log of the mis-sent packages and she stated no. So how can they tell me that my package was actually sent out if the only record they have is an arrival scan? What am I suppose to think? Did someone steal my package from the Nottingham location or was it stolen off “the truck it went out on”?

After reading many of the previous reviews I guess it's good to know that I'm not the only one that knows that the USPS fails on most everything. I cringe every time I order something online and discover that the USPS was chosen as the carrier. In the seven years I've lived my current address (in Chicago) the USPS has - delivered my mail elsewhere (or not at all), delivered email for other addresses, quite often the mail arrives after 8pm. And there are weekdays when a carrier never arrives to deliver the mail!
And that's just regular mail! In regards to packages it's even worse - a "delivered" notification arrives and the package has not been actually delivered, or delivered next door, or is still in the possession of the carrier (well after they've passed my door). And then there is the total lack of customer service. If you can actually find someone to talk with they make empty promises to have a local postal manager call you back. On more than one occasion the USPS claimed that the address on the package was unreadable. Really? Think "barcode"... idiots. When in fact the last digit of my address was conveniently scratched off. And I've even had multiple situations where they claimed no one was around to accept the package, liars... I was at home with my front door open!
And have you noticed that the postal vehicles no longer have state (at least in Illinois) license plates anymore? It's clear that the capabilities of the USPS had really declined over the years. They're struggling and the only thing that keeps them somewhat afloat is junk mail. And then there has been the systematic removal of neighborhood mailboxes, at least near me and the surrounding zip codes. So that's my review of the USPS. Unfortunately it will only be read by others who have had poor experiences with the USPS. The USPS will never read these reviews or even make the smallest attempt at correcting the issues. Maybe it's finally time for our postal services to be privatized and time for the USPS to close its doors.

Looking at all everyone review I read, I’m not the only one I have issues with USPS. And not the first time they lost my packages. Here is my worst experience with the USPS. I have purchased with Etsy in November 10th. While I ordered, it's from another country, so my package will be arriving in 3 weeks. After Thanksgiving, it's arrived in New York, according the tracking in Etsy. However, my delivery time doesn’t move in inches. It’s been two months and still not arriving either. I believe it's stuck or they lost it.
So, I contacted with USPS International Center Services in New York. It’s unfortunate that I called the service that they are pretty rude and they cannot do anything by it and just hand up the phone. Lucky, I contact with my buyer to refund me because the issue with the postal services. It’s so ** ridiculous! The USPS is the WORST service for delivery!

Preface: I don't use a cell phone, don't have one. I couldn't use modern methods for this (recording, 911, etc). We get our mail here. We've been patrons for nearly 20 years. I attempted to purchase 2 money orders. The USPS computer system crashed after I entered my pin. The clerk pushed all the buttons, no go. We moved to the next counter/register to begin again. She assured me the first charge didn't go through. It did indeed. Twice. Plus the one I actually purchased. This drained the account. I called immediately after discovering the emptying of our account. The postmaster said she'd get right on it, it had not happened before, she would call me when it was taken care of. Don and I met at the PO at 4:30 on Fri, several hours later, and she had done absolutely NOTHING! Don showed her proof on his phone. She looked him in the eye and said, "I don't believe you." Yep.
THEN she finally makes a call to no avail, bc everyone has gone home for the weekend. She even asked the person on the other end if there was "anyone there who knew more, like the cleaning crew". So very rude. She said to come back with proof. I did on Monday am after getting a printout from the bank, with their letterhead. She refused to LOOK at it and said, "I don't need to see it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not helping you." Yep, she said it. The bank gave me specific instructions to give to her. If she would do it, I could get my money back in 3-4 days. If she didn't, my bank would take over, but my money won't be back until December 27, after Christmas. I told her the instructions. It required 1 toll-free phone call and punching in 3 numbers. She wasn't listening. She was flailing her arms about to shoo me away. I said I'd wait.
There was a line of customers. She said I wasn't being fair to the people in line. That I was disrupting their day. I turned to tell the whole line my dilemma. The line suggested I get the police. I went to the station but they were closed for lunch (small town). I went back to the bank. They filed a dispute for me. Then the branch manager went above and beyond and called the rude woman's superior. The supervisor validated that this was not USPS standard of practices. According to her boss, SHE SHOULD'VE AND COULD'VE MADE THE CALL. Immediately, on Friday morning. He filed a complaint and sent her an email. I'm to call him in 48 hours if the money isn't returned.

I did go to the post office two times last week and was told that they do not have a vehicle large enough or enough help to deliver the packages. I have tried to call the postmaster but only get a busy signal. They have a very large amount of packages that customers have paid postage/shipping to have delivered that is stacked up all over the post office! I can't believe that a government office can be allowed to do business in this manner! This is terrible and is causing me stress to have to deal with when I should be able to take care of other business I need to be doing at Christmas time! Do I have to move out of Philpot, Ky to actually get packages delivered to my home? I'm extremely upset!

Honestly, I am appalled by what has become of the US Postal Service. I frequently receive mail that isn't addressed to me...wrong address, wrong zip code, once it was the wrong state altogether. Also, they refuse to deliver any mail to me on Saturdays because they view my house as a "business" and when I expect delivery on a Saturday, I am told that they can't deliver because "The Business is Closed". I have spoken with them numerous times about how this is a residential address and not a business but to no avail. In this day and age, the US Postal Service should be striving to go above and beyond with their services and, sadly, they're not doing that.

The U.S. postal services has lot of employees that are wanting to receive a paycheck but they do not want to do the work. It's like they work hard at providing ** service. They are like all the illegal aliens that come into this country, they want to live here but they do not want to obey by the rules. You would think that the Federal department would want to do something about fixing this services, is like the IRS they all suck. They all collect a paycheck for little or no service. And we the people continue to put up with it. I paid for a two day delivery services, five day later, still no package. In any business or industry this is consider stealing. It's like these people are proud of their one-star rating. If I could have done a minus star I would have done so, just because stealing is not acceptable in any country. Good luck.

These jerks that deliver our mail (and I mean no less than twice a week) deliver our mail to others and others' mail to us! We live in an apartment building. Our apartment is "E" and our neighbor's is "F." They think these two letters look alike and we constantly get their mail, as they get ours as well. Once we got our neighbor's mail from downstairs. They must've had 10 pieces of mail this particular day and one of the pieces was their tax bill! The whole pile was delivered to us. Unbelievable. Several times per year, I haven't received magazines that I've subscribed to. Either the deliverers are keeping these for themselves or they are misdelivered and my neighbors aren't bringing them to me.
In our old neighborhood, we got our neighbor's pile of mail one day. Another day, we received a piece of mail that belonged in a neighborhood one mile away! None of this should be happening. These idiots take tests where they are comparing addresses and numbers. How they are passing these tests, I do not know. They sure aren't applying this to their jobs.

I bought a cooktop on eBay. The seller shipped the package and upgraded shipment to an "expedited" fashion with the USPS, paying more and guaranteeing delivery on Wednesday, November 22nd, by 8 pm. I checked the tracking number, and it confirmed delivery for that date. Wednesday became Thursday, and when I checked the tracking numbers, it now said that the package delivery was delayed, (which I obviously knew), but they stated that the package was now in MY HOMETOWN. I was optimistic.
Delivery was now moved to Friday, November 24th, by 8 pm. That has now passed. No text to explain what was going on (something that was promised online). Why anyone would EVER ship USPS is a different question, but the USPS incompetence, coupled with their complete failure at communicating a realistic schedule is beyond me. I will check the site later, and I am confident of only one thing- whenever they NOW say delivery will be, I will believe it when I see it.

I recently ordered guitar strings. They never arrived. The business that I ordered from was nice enough to send another set of guitar strings. I am beginning to suspect they will not arrive either as it has been 4 business days. Worst of all, I will have no choice but to leave this business a somewhat negative review to warn other people against having to deal with USPS, because if they do that will reflect badly on the business itself! A year ago, I ordered an audio interface. After tracking it and realizing that my package was not moving at all, I had to correspond with USPS and put the fire under their ** big-time just to get my package delivered late.
Abhorrent business practices and customer service. I will be telling businesses that I won't buy their products if they intend to ship through USPS. That's right, it's a full boycott for me.

Otherwise we both would have been up the creek without a paddle, and me out of $38.99 and a new griddle that could not be found anywhere else during the holidays of which I needed it desperately for.

Also, I use a lot of the free shipping boxes for online purposes and I’m just curious if you could maybe make another shape of the "small flat rate priority mail" box? I would really love a mini version of the large boxes that was flat rate and maybe the size of 2 of the small dvd boxes put together?

The PO should have made sure that the package was delivered to me on time, or at least by the end of the day. No excuses. Just do it. BTW, this is not the first example of incompetence by this local PO. I can't wait until Amazon starts delivering packages right to our doorstep by drone. Take the USPS out of the delivery chain.

I purchased a Halloween card for children which was a bit bulky. The envelope said extra postage. I put 2 stamps on it. Oh also I actually purchased 8 cards all together. One was returned. Said it require 3 dollars of postage. I had put 2 stamps on it. I took it to the outpost post office and the clerk was surprised it was returned. She showed me a card with slots. The small one was 1/4 in thick. The card did not slide so it required extra postage to the slot that said large envelope. Which it went through just fine and the amount of postage already on it was adequate. She suggested I take it to the main post office.
When I arrived the clerk only put it through a small slot. Said when it doesn't fit through that one it’s considered a parcel and it is 3 dollars. Really a kids card. The manager said the same thing and another employee said I shouldn't have bought the card, really! The unfriendly manager and the employee which wasn't even involved was rude. The clerk helping me seemed to want to help was trying to be nice. I buy cards like this every year. I reluctantly paid the 3 dollars because I want the kids to get the card. I wish there was an alternative other than USPS.

I am so done with the REGULAR mail in our neighborhood and we're not even talking about using USPS for packages because that's not even an option at our house. Our neighborhood had the bright idea to name the streets the EXACT same name, and give them the EXACT same house numbers. i.e. 12133 Cold Harbour LANE and 12133 Cold Harbour DRIVE. If you have to deal with USPS it is a nightmare and worth it to pay the money to use FedEx or UPS whenever you can. I cannot tell you how many times our mail goes to the next street over as the mail carrier's run is designed to go back there first and our mail gets put in their box because it is 2017 and people cannot READ.
We have contacted USPS numerous times about this and basically it comes down to moving to get a carrier with common sense (or not having the excuse that the streets are the same name). The house is being rented, so good luck trying to contact the people that live there to ask if they have our letters. I'll be glad when they officially go out of business. I believe a private company could do so much better. No point in wasting whatever money that is being used to fund those jobs if they can't get important government documents to the correct address, and I have to spend precious time and money trying to get my important letters resent.

Mail theft is occurring weekly in my residential area. We consist of tightly packed residential neighborhoods of about 3000 homes. USPS is calling it rural, but it is hardly rural. Myself and my neighbor were hit the delivery period of 9-28-29, 2017. We do not know if others are missing mail from that time yet. We reported it to the police, USPS and I sent out emails to my whole street informing them of what is going on. We discovered that one street over was hit the week before and damage was done to their cluster box so everyone on that street knew what happened. Our box was undamaged so we had to wait to find out that Credit cards were opened and checks stolen etc. I personally lost a large check that I had to put a stop payment on. I still have not received it so it is now assumed stolen or lost.
My neighbor had charges not his on his new corporate credit card and this is how we discovered that our mailbox was breached. I discovered that a few streets over was hit the week after we were. This is all from people I know because there is no system in place to inform anyone to look for missing mail. Nothing is ever done to help solve the problem by USPS and our complaints fall on deaf ears. USPS 'makes' us use the cluster mail box system that is just a target for mail thieves. Pop one door and thieves have access to 15 or more households mail. The units are un-monitored and an easy target for thieves and identity theft. Nothing is safe. I suggested going back to mail slots in garage doors where we can at least make it difficult for thieves. Slots can be protected by an alarm, video surveillance, a dog and the home owners themselves. Cluster boxes there is no control at all. If we need to reduce the delivery days, so be it.
Back to home delivery is a great solution to so much theft. Also, mail personnel often do not use officially marked vehicles or wear uniforms so citizens cannot identify a genuine mail carrier. Another good thing for thieves. They evidently can use unmarked vehicles if the area is considered rural. Give me a break. We have sidewalks, houses are so close we can hear each other talking in our backyards. And were talking about a large area of many neighborhoods. We are a city. City of Roseville. Population of over 87,000.
The reason for this review is no one is listening. This is a big problem and the USPS can only cry about not having enough money to operate. If this is true, maybe they should rethink how they operate. Currently unsafe mail is useless to me. USPS can only be trusted to deliver ads and I hate the ads. So what good are they. My birthday cards are getting stolen and the gift cards removed. We have to do financial transactions online because nothing can be trusted in the mail. I sweat when I need to order my new checks because my credit union is 300 miles away. I could go on and on but I am going to give you a break and shut up now...

USPS is absolutely shameful. Let me start by talking about the post office at home. There are two post offices relatively close to where I live, but one is closer to our house so we chose to get a PO box there. The people who work there are terribly rude and won't hesitate to send back a package if it isn't picked up within a couple days. Sometimes it's just not possible to make it to the post office when you're busy during with work, school, etc.
I went to the post office to mail some books back for school and I already had the label printed out, but I needed some tape to attach it to the box. I assumed a post office of all places would have tape and let me use it, so I waited until we got there to ask about the tape. The post office was particularly busy that day and I waited in line for about 5 minutes before finally making it to the counter. I explained the situation and they refused to let me use their tape. Instead, they gave me some stickers that are normally used to put the shipping address or return address, then they sent me to the back of the line. I had to use about 6 of the lined stickers to make sure the label was securely attached to the box and then had to wait another 5 minutes or so in line to get back to the counter.
Now I'll tell you about the issues I've had with USPS delivering to my college dorm. My college is about an hour and a half away from home, so when I came here I was hoping the postal workers would be better than the ones back home. I guess I was wrong. I recently ordered a package from Amazon and, to my surprise, they shipped it via USPS instead of the always reliable UPS. The package was ordered on a Friday and the estimated delivery was Sunday. I was shocked because I thought USPS wouldn't deliver on Sunday, but I wasn't going to complain if they did deliver it that day. Sunday came around and I got a notification on Amazon saying they attempted to deliver the package but "the business was closed."
For starters, I live in a dorm building that has someone at the desk 24/7 and the building is never closed. Secondly, I talked to the person who was working the desk when USPS said they tried to deliver the package and that person said USPS never even came to the building. So not only did USPS delay my package by a day, they also lied about trying to deliver the package. Whoever is in charge of USPS, they should be ashamed that the company is so terrible.

I expected a package today, but I had to leave the house for about an hour. When I got home, I tracked my package online to find out to my disappointment that it was delivered and I quote: "Your item was delivered at the front door or porch at 12:28 pm on October 5, 2017." Since I didn't see the package at the front door or porch, I immediately thought that someone must've stolen it. I was very upset but decided to wait till the end of the day before I start making phone calls.
I had the same experience prior to this one a few years before where the tracking results showed that something was already delivered when it wasn't. Lo and behold... The package came about 6 hours after. So why did they say that it was already delivered when it wasn't? And to think that they are also so specific with the delivery time and location is just beyond me. So for half a day, I have been worried sick for no reason at all. USPS...

I understand a package can get lost or misplaced every now and then but not 3 in a short amount of time. Sick and tired of calling the 800 number with no answers and sick and tired of consumer affairs not doing their job either. Why am I paying for postage? When I have customers asking me where their package is there is a problem. USPS needs to get off their ** and start cracking down on these employees and firing them.

I end up having to refund my customer and not only looking money in refunding but never getting my item returned which I'm still waiting on a package that was to be returned to me over a month ago!

US POSTAL employees have discovered how easy it is to steal Amazon, QVC or other large retailer shipments without any issues. I learned this, this year as after 17 years of no theft service, with packages coming to me straight to my postal box at the local post office, I've had 3 jewelry items taken this year alone. These are items that go straight to me at the post office and require a signature. They have all scanned as having arrived at my post office, Canoga park branch in California, and in the 'process of distribution to box' which would mean having a notice left that the item was available at the counter for pickup.
But that is the last scan these packages ever see as while in the hands of postal employees IN the post office building, they are never seen again. After having to file complaints on all these packages I find that QVC, EVINE or AMAZON process a claim the same day and process a refund to victims as well. The companies verified they don't even file police reports, they simply get the post office to reimburse them with TAXPAYER MONEY for the stolen items. And postal employees know it's this easy.
It's easy to identify expensive items coming from these companies... Small boxes with 'Amazon/QVC/Evine/etc' marking on them is a clue there's something easy to steal and of value, and which will be easily paid for by the USPS and no investigation started. I've tried to report these situations to USPS but there's nothing but a recorded line which never yields even a callback. Of course I can't file a claim as the seller has already done so and reimbursed me, and if I file a claim with my name, it is available for postal employees to become aware I am trying to get whoever fired. A total catch 22.
I have stopped using the post office for such deliveries and ALWAYS now require UPS or FedEx for expensive items. While USPS had been good for years, this year they turned into a professional theft ring for their employees. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PACKAGE GO MISSING OR STOLEN VIA UPS/FEDEX/DHL. A final note...
