I kept getting "delivered" messages and go to my mailbox/apartment complex and it's not there. This happened to TWO packages of mine last week, and other times in the past year since I moved to my new address. Ironically, two packages were to be delivered on the same day: one was received and one was not. I had the correct addresses each time. USPS needs to issue refunds for their mistakes, not the companies I'm ordering from. I've never had this issue with any other carrier and I'm writing letters to each company I order from online and beg them to consider other mailing options!

Since last year, the package delivery guy has been losing my packages or not delivering them. I have complained to the post office and nothing has been done. The delivery guy would not even leave a notice yet when I check online it says notice left. He's always running late, driving crazy on the road, he's too busy to write a notice. I once followed him and asked him where my package was and he said he did not have it even though he left an online notice saying notice left. I have cameras on my house and sometimes I am home and see him. He is very incompetent and should be fired.

I ordered goods from a company outside the US. The goods were processed 6/8/15. On 6/14/15 it was inbound out of customs. It cleared customs on 6/14/15 which was the summary of this item. I haven't got any additional information.

Calumet City Post Office, every time I have gone in there, I have to say the lines are very long but some of the window clerk are friendly but the management and carriers that deliver my mail sucks. I don't receive my mail, the letter carrier put my mail in someone mail slot and their mail in my mail slot. Therefore, I don't get my mail all the time. Is there anyone out there can tell me what step should I take to ensure that I will receive my mail in a timely manner?

Well I wanted to start out by saying that your service is very bad. I ordered a $236 dollar worth package and I never got it until I actually went to the postal office and asked them about it. They called the carrier and told her that my package wasn't there. Mind you I haven't checked the mailbox because a order that big shouldn't be in my mailbox but early I checked the mailbox there was nothing there… They said a kid signed the package - like WTF. No the kid did not sign the package cause if he or she did it, would take it home and not leave it in my box. And who lets a kid sign a $236 dollar worth package? Stupid people that's who.

Well, the USPS has done it again. I recently had mail put on hold and when I called to pick it up I was told that they had no mail for me and it wasn't delivered to my address either. I had very important documents sent to me with personal information that can be used to steal my identity and they carelessly handled it. Where did it go? What kind of people are they hiring at the USPS now? They get paid a good wage and have government benefits. I expect them to at least do their jobs properly. Every time I depend on them for important duties with my mail I am disappointed.

This review is on the USPS Grand Ave. Branch in Astoria, NY located at 45 St. & 30 Ave. I needed to mail a package, but the employees there started to complain about the heaviness of the box and the box isn't appropriated covered to standard enough. They even told me to go to their second closest location in the neighborhood which is even further away from where I live at just because Grand Ave. is subjected to more equipment issues than the Broadway area.
They had no right to issue that complaint because of the following reasons: They complain their heats out indicating they don't really want to work on boxes in particular & saying they're getting too old for this kind of physical work. I don't understand why can't they switch job titles within USPS that requires less physical work if that's true. I did issue a complaint on their website with a response. The response had a level of disappointment because there's no assurance this issue won't happen again.

For the past year and a half, almost all of my packages have been delivered late. As in, 2-day priority take almost a month to reach me from any location in the U.S. This is frustrating enough. I have had several packages delivered to me damaged -- one of them a gift and sent internationally. It was a phone case, which was CLEARLY leaking fluid and visibly cracked. Yet, it was still delivered and not returned to the original sender. The fact that this has been going on so long is infuriating. Yes, I'm aware the USPS is going bankrupt, but there is a reason for it. They cannot provide for the services they render, as their competitors can, and when they do it's always messed up, ruined, or delayed. If I could give a lower score, I would. USPS is nothing more than a disappointment riding on the coattails of those who can actually do their job.

Holy Mother of God, I have been in customer service for 5 years now and NEVER have I experienced such terrible and poor customer service. I had ordered a package via Amazon, which showed to be processed in San Francisco on September 13th, and had an expected delivery date of the 19th of September. The last scan was on the 13th, we now have it the 23rd of September, no status updates, no package, no nothing!
Called the customer service phone number, 1 (800) 275-877, and lord, there is only an automated lady talking who is unable to direct your call because "there is no reason for the call" or she states over and over again "I'm sorry I did not catch that", eventually disconnecting the call. I called approximately 20 times, and had to dig around online on ways to go around this automated voice service BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE KEYPAD ENTRY ENABLED AND DO NOT PROVIDE ALTERNATIVES for requests that do not match the options offered by the automated service! This is the biggest waste of time, do yourself a favor and avoid calling this number.

I have always received items from the post office and have never had a issue until I moved here. The problem started immediately. I would have people call and say, "hey did you receive what I sent in the mail?" I most times would think, did they even mail it? It wasn't until it continued to happen... is when I noticed. I complained. The front clerk did all she could. This year my packages started growing legs after they left the post office. So yes I'm angry. One package was in a neighbor's box for two weeks... the post office didn't know anything! (Lucky he returned it to me.) The next package was put into another building's mailbox. Mind you the numbers are nowhere similar. So that's almost $20 gone!
The post office refused to be responsible even though they knew what box they placed it in. This last package was mailed from a popular Eyeglass center out of town. So the post office once again refused to be held accountable. My question is when are they accountable? It's obviously something going wrong... and they know this. Yet I'm getting looked at strange because I'm angry. I don't think it's fair for me to lose because of them. I did place a hold on my packages after my glasses should have been here.

I own a business and shipped a package via USPS to a customer 9 days ago. It was to be delivered no later than Saturday, Sept. 19th. Today, Tuesday, September 22, 2015, and the package has still not been delivered. I drove to the post office I shipped it from and spoke to their "Customer Service" person and was told that it was still in Jersey City, NJ. Really? I could see that on my computer when I entered the tracking number idiot! I was told I could take no action for 30 days. Again - really? Well, I am not waiting 30 days and am blasting them on social media TODAY! I will never do business with the USPS again. They are a joke of a government run agency. I will only do business with UPS and FedEx from this point forward. This is a gift from one of my customers to her mother for her birthday.

The envelopes for priority mail for small packages claim to have tracking and insurance but do not have the benefits they claim. After making countless calls and making 3 trips to the post office trying to track a missing package and wasting all Friday morning I was told that she would put in a new case and escalate to customer service because priority mail defaults to first class. The USPS advertising both on media and printed on their priority mail supplies that it includes insurance and tracking is false.
I never imagined false claims from the US postal service. They are deceiving the public and now I have a missing package. I am told everything from - 'it may still reach' to 'you did not purchase tracking and insurance'. Why should I when the USPS envelope that can only be used with priority mail states that tracking and insurance up to $50 is insured. When I realised that the tracking was not on the receipt I went back but they were unwilling to go back and add tracking. Beware of the USPS claim that priority mail includes tracking and insurance - totally FALSE. Times are so hard that USPS has to use false advertising to market priority mail.

It's no wonder the USPS is in trouble... The whole system needs to be dismantled, so it can be replaced with something that actually works. Whenever I order something online, and see that the method of shipment is the USPS, I know that I am in for a frustrating experience. Usually the tracking information is worthless... I'll get a notification when the item ships, then the tracking information is not updated until it's been delivered. How is that tracking? I know it shipped, because the vendor told me. I know it's been delivered, because it's in my hand! REALLY!
When I order something that ships FedEx or UPS, I know that I can count on real-time updates, and I know that the arrival date is accurate. I don't think that I have ever ordered anything that shipped USPS that arrived by the projected delivery date. I think the USPS is just another bloated government agency providing jobs to a bunch of lazy welfare cases. Yah, I know you're going to tell me it's not a government agency. Government agency, quasi-government agency, whatever, give me a break. The people that work for the USPS wouldn't last 4 hours at a real company, that actually has to compete in a truly competitive market of logistics and delivery.

I order some of my maintenance medications through Caremark Pharmacy. My last order was in 9/12 and shipped on 9/13. Tracking information shows it was received at my local post office on 9/16. Today is the 19th and still haven't received my medications, showing in "pre-shipment" mode. It shouldn't take three or more days to be delivered less than a mile. They've delivered my mail to the wrong address recently, but luckily the person whose address they delivered it to took it back to the post office. I had to go there to inquire as to where it was. That was it the first time and it's really getting old. They should be able to do better than that.

I'm waiting for a package to be delivered. It is coming to CA from MA. It was sent on 9/10 and today is 9/19. The last update on tracking was on 9/11. For 8 days, nothing! I asked for assistance at my local post office and was given the shoulder shrug and told "I don't know." Really? I was then told it has to be 30 days before it's considered lost. Shipping was $40 on this package. My regular mailman has always been very helpful and goes out of his way to leave packages in a safe spot. My issue is with those responsible for getting the package to him for delivery. The general attitude is poor, and there is no customer service support. This is no different than anything else. When I am charged $40 for shipping, I expect to receive my package, period!

USPS lost my package. I've been tracking my package for almost 2 weeks now... it says it was delivered in mailbox September 8 2015 yet still to receive it. I saw the mail courier on Monday and asked her if she seen my package and she says "no never was in the batch". I then call the post office to start an investigation. They concluded the package didn't have my unit number on it so they had no idea where it would be. I then get a hold of the seller and she sends me receipts of all shipping labels and guess who was lying... USPS.
I then go into the post office yesterday to only be passed on the same phone number that I've already been given from them saying it belongs to two different people. Every time I call it just rings and no option for a message, it'll just disconnect. So now I'm out $70 for medicine I've been waiting for 2 weeks and USPS not owning up to responsibility for losing my package, leaving me with the bill to reorder again for something I already should have and now paying double for the error of USPS. This is not right! Please help and make USPS stop lying to cover their mistakes.

Never before have I experienced such complete incompetence with USPS in shipping a package. My customer ordered an item on 8/14 to wear for a wedding on 9/11. I shipped it to her 2-day Priority. It has been traveling around the country since then, and still has not been delivered. Her address, by the way, is verifiable. She has a forwarding address on file because she lives in 2 different places winter and summer. So they just keep bouncing this package around from state to state.
USPS tells her that they simply don't have the time to trace one single package because of their mail volume. I can get nowhere with Customer Service, or my local postmaster. No one knows where this package is. It's unbelievable how mismanaged this company is. If USPS can't ship packages on time, then get OUT of the business, and quit making promises you can't keep.

I will make this very short and simple. I had too many bad experiences with USPS that I could not possibly write all of them. There have been many times where I was expecting my package but it never came. Sometimes it will arrive days later or not at all! I also have sent items out for 2 day delivery and the recipient NEVER GOT IT or received it a week or two later. Speaking to customer service always leaves a bad taste in my mouth afterwards. They will always defend and make some lame ** excuse why I do not have my package. I honestly do not care if this is ran by the government, it is STILL A BUSINESS!

Absolutely terrible service. I had a package coming in 2 days ago. Instead of the mailman coming to my door and knocking to see if I was home to get a signature, his lazy ** just left a note saying to pick it up at the post office. So I had to wait another day to go and pick it up. Yesterday, I had a package overnighted to me to get delivered today. I was tracking it all night last night, it took 8 hours for it to even show up on their site. Well today came, my package didn't. Was guaranteed to be here before 3 pm. So I go to check the mail and I find out that no mailman came today! Not only that, but my package never even left the shipper's city. When trying to call customer service, they won't transfer your call to a human unless you have a good enough reason. And a problem with a tracking number/package apparently isn't a good enough reason.
So I had to call back and trick the automated phone into transferring me to a representative. I waited an hour and a half to get someone on the phone. WHY IS IT SO LONG OF A WAIT WHEN IT'S NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO A REPRESENTATIVE??? A joke this company is! The worst service ever. Of course it's government owned, no wonder why. I will NEVER do business with them again. UPS or FedEx is the way to go.

USPS tracking website is useless information. It is not updated with current information. I've had packages arrive with the sites last status as "picked up" from origin and never changed until the next day as "delivered". I cringe every time a package is shipped USPS to the point of choosing another delivery method even if it costs more. It has come to the point of being flat out ridiculous on late deliveries, lost or misdirected packages. I guess I just can't understand how private delivery companies can get it right and USPS fails miserably.

The USPS doesn't deliver to our house because we have a dog. It doesn't matter that the dog is locked in the house because she barks when someone enters the yard. This scares the carrier who then refuses to deliver our packages because she is afraid of the dog. We have complained many times to the indifferent management in Redmond but they say there is nothing they can do since the union rules do say that she does not have to deliver to a house if she is afraid of the dog. They also prevent transferring the carries to a different route to solve the problem.
This carrier isn't even honest about it. Sometimes the note she leaves will say that she couldn't leave the package because it required a signature and no one was home (we were) or there was no secure place to leave it. But most often it just says Dog. Several of these times the dog wasn't even there. We had taken her to the Marymoor Dog park. When we explained this to the USPS supervisor the response was that perhaps she had heard barking from some other dog in the neighborhood. USPS doesn't care so we are now trying to get Amazon to stop using USPS for delivery at least to our house.

Beware of mailing heavy items through USPS, especially if it's close or over 30 lbs. I sent 3 packages, in which 2 packages were lost. They stated that the label came off, which means they still have the item in their possessions, as they were able to send me back the label I had attached. My packages were full of books that had sentimental values to me, AND had my last name were scribbled on most of them. Unfortunately I don't know if they really cared to looked for them, but never again would I send packages, and pay close to $50 each of media mail and lose the items.

My package had been delivered to a wrong address in CA so I tried to call USPS Consumers Affairs but the problem was nobody answered the phone. I left 4-5 voice mail I never received calling back during a few days. I called them again then someone finally picked the phone up and she asked me detail of the package so I answered all the question what she asked. However, the real problem just began at that time because she was absolutely old, lazy lady that she tried to reach USPS in CA only ONCE per day in spite of I told her the package was a high valuable one. She always just told me like "I have not received any messages from them" during two weeks and she always said "I will call you back tomorrow". However, she never called me back even once before I called her first. I politely request her to reach them more than once per day but she never called me back even once before I called her first.
Moreover, it is extremely difficult to talk with her during a day. It is so funny they have 8-9 multiple phone line to talk with customers but those numbers are absolutely trashes. I decided not to trust USPS consumers affairs in my area anymore then I called USPS CA and talked to delivery supervisor but it took a few days to talk to him. I got the package after that. I do not understand what the heck she did during two weeks. Just eating hamburgers for lunch and get off the work at 4 pm is their routine schedule. They earn easy money without any customer's satisfaction. THEY HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO SUPPORT CUSTOMERS EFFECTIVELY. If your package had delivered to wrong address, don't even think about returning it back to you. Forgetting about your package will be comfortable. Don't waste your time. I am pretty sure you will get tons of stress if you talk with representatives in USPS consumers affairs.

I moved to Illinois in March 2015. I started noticing that people were sending me things from back east to my new address and I would never receive them. I went to the post office on 2 different occasions when I knew for sure that something should have been delivered but never showed up. The post office official told me that without a tracking number, there is nothing they could do. I've been waiting for legal documents and checks which have never shown up. Items that I have purchased online have also disappeared when sent via USPS.
Finally, last week, I received a FedEx package from an attorney that I work with back east. Inside the FedEx was an envelope that had return to sender labels on it. I peeled back the label and noticed that the address was actually correct. I also discovered that there was a forwarding label under the return to sender label that had an address in a different town that was over 100 miles away from me. I immediately went to the local post office because I've been waiting since mid-June for payments that total in the thousands of dollars.
I discovered, to my horror, that MY mail is being forwarded to the former occupant of my home. The local postmaster said that I needed to contact a delivery supervisor and gave me the number to call. I called and spoke to the delivery supervisor who said he would get back to me. The delivery supervisor actually did call me back. His solution -- put in a change of address with the old address being the address where your mail is being incorrectly routed. "WHAT? You want me to commit postal fraud?" I said. Silence from the delivery supervisor.
Suffice it to say that my checks, my legal documents, and anything else that was sent have been going to someone else and either the recipient has been opening them and doing something with the contents or the post office has all my stuff in a bin somewhere. Regardless, why is the post office sending MY mail to the former occupant of my house? It makes NO sense to me whatever, since the names are not the same.
Even with definitive proof of the USPS' mistakes, I am unable sue the USPS to recover my losses (totaling in the thousands of dollars) because there is a postal exemption in the Fair Trade Act that relieves the postal service of any liability associated with misdirected mail. Basically, the government gives the USPS a pass on actually performing the duties that they are contracted to perform. I was unaware of this fact and I bet many people are also unaware.

On August 19, 2015 I mailed some package (returning electronic media in the original package) to Canada. At the local post office I was told to fill out some small form. Paid the mailing fee and was told to track it using the number on the receipt. Within few days the package seemed to reach the receiver. When I called there, their response was that they never received the package. I called USPS and was told that the package (for some unknown reason) was on its back to New Jersey in USA.

All my inquiries (and I was on the phone for almost two hours with FIVE different USPS Customer Service Representatives and Supervisors) had the same unsatisfactory answers: "Do not know." Why the package never reached the receiver in Canada? "Do not know." Why the package never reached the sender (me)? "Do not know." Why the package is being send back to Canada? "Do not know." And on top of that the last person I talked to (his name is Tim, Supervisor of International Department, # **) accused me of fraud, lying and was very rude. But he gave me USPS Consumer Affair Department phone number in NJ. Useless, if you ask me. I called there, got answering service, left my message and still waiting for them to call me (over a week). Does anybody have any idea what I can do to resolve my issue?

I had a parcel coming. It wasn't delivered like it should have been. Whenever I've had any questions regarding a sent item, mail or packages I have been encountered with rude and nasty employees! They get paid darn good money and have way more comfy pensions than most of us out here working for far less pay than them! My local post office is so incredibly rude that I NEVER call them or go to their post office to mail packages! They are rude!!! There is no reason to treat a customer like dirt unless customer was rude first!

I filled out a change of address request on the 21st of August to be proactive for my future move. It has you pick a date for when you want it to go into effect. And it clearly states on my confirmation that it is not to go into effect until September 16th. USPS has ignored this, and they are currently sending my important packages and my mail too early to a place I have not moved yet. Why let me decide when it goes into effect if you are just going to ignore it? I am so upset. I am actually currently trying to get it resolved. I have been on hold for over an hour. I have a feeling that I am going to be on hold until 5 pm when they close and will force me to call back for a third day.
Yes. I have been trying for two days to have this resolved. And so far no one has helped me. I absolutely hate using USPS for my mail because they make mistakes all the time particularly when it comes to packages (when it comes to mail it's not so bad, but I'm sure other people have horror stories). Most of the time when I order something I am not given a choice for the carrier, otherwise I would try to choose a different one. This is another of these occasions, and today it is the last straw. I am so fed up with all of this. So I guess the lesson here for other people is to not fill out a change of address request until the day you actually move because if you do it too early they will not honor that request.
Update: I called today at 3:07 and hung up at 4:59 pm. Yes. They forgot about me. I was on hold for 1 hour, 49 minutes, and 42 seconds before I finally hung up. I did decide to call back since they do not close until 5 pm. It was one minute before closing. I was so upset that I did not care. Luckily, they did pick up. Hopefully, with the conversation I just had they will fix my problems, but we will see.

Well after reading others' complaints, I believe I will just never get my mail change straightened out. I moved, filled out cards correctly, only to have them change my address to my soon to be ex-husband's address, which I didn't even know. He called me?? Saw the yellow forward with my name, etc. and wasn't impressed so I called them, was told, "Yes, you both filled out the your cards right." They have no idea how that happened...
Now a month later the lady who moved into my old place since contacted landlord and said she is receiving my student loan mail, health care mail?? And others?? I contacted student loan people but still, I call PO. She first says, "Computer error not carrier, they do the forwarding, and maybe your name was different on envelope," etc. So I waited, got the mail only to find it wasn't junk mail, etc.
Called back to hear, "Oh, it must of been the carrier." I said, "Wait, you said it was computer." Well she says sometimes they miss stuff? It was typed? Give me a break... Ooh it was a sub too on that route that's why. The excuses are endless and who do you complain to? They change my forward to wrong address and then still can't forward it when they say it's done properly. I keep thinking who else didn't I notify that might be important of my move?? Ridiculous.

I reside at a 10 room apartment house where the rooms are rented out to various individuals. Unfortunately we don't have mailboxes. There's a wooden rack inside the main entrance where the postal carrier puts everyone's mail in a wooden slot. I recently became aware that our apartment manager has been going through everyone's mail so he can get their names to do warrant checks. See if they have any outstanding warrants. I reported this to my local post office only to be referred to local police. Local police at first refused to file a report. They said it was legal for this individual to go through everyone's mail as long as he wasn't stealing or opening it.
After refusing to take no for an answer they started treating me like a criminal then filed a report but not criminal. Today I caught a conversation between our postal carrier and our apartment manager in which the postal carrier told our apartment manager not to worry about it. Also I've contacted the USPS' OIG only to be totally ignored. What the ** is going on here? Do we live in ** Germany?

I never write reviews but the experience was so bad that I have to say something. I've used the U.S. Postal Service twice this year. The experience was so awful that I can't even put it to words. Part of the first package was missing. Although the box was ripped apart and even stamped, "received in damaged condition," I had to make three separate appeals after they denied my claim each time. After writing letters, being on hold, and getting the run around from March until July, I finally received a check in the mail. It was the most frustrating experience of my life. I spent hours on hold. It was impossible to get through to anyone. There is absolutely no accountability. If you think that's bad, I wish I could say how I really feel.
At the end of the day, I'm sure my review doesn't amount to much, but given the opportunity, I would burn the USPS to the ground. Complete disregard for others' property! The worst service you could possibly imagine! The systems they use are inherently flawed. To top it all off they completely destroyed my sister's original drawing from her first year at the University of Miami's architectural program. The tube that the drawing was in arrived with the end-caps missing. It was smushed and the drawing was in very rough shape. I'm 2 for 2 now and I can't keep my mouth shut about this anymore. Someone needs to keep them accountable. Boycott the USPS. I wish for nothing good to happen to the careless employees that are reckless with other peoples' property because they know that nothing will happen to them.

They basically said that the package was only scanned once which was when it's received by the post office and then the package just disappeared. So, at the end I lost the whole set of golf club and USPS doesn't even bother to track it or find out why the package went missing and never even on the way to mainland at all.

That's a sincere question because I NEVER received an answer as to what happened to my first package (more on the second package later). It was shipped via Registered Mail from Hong Kong to my father in his nursing home. The tracking information went only so far as to state "OUT FOR DELIVERY" and then "DELIVERY STATUS NOT UPDATED." Again, this was a REGISTERED package. I contacted USPS at least four separate times, trying to get an update on what happened to the package. The level of incompetence was astonishing, and they NEVER responded to me with status via email as I requested. They just closed the case. I have reported them to the Inspector General and the Attorney General.
Now there is a second package to a different address that was purported returned on July 15. Today is August 15. Should I hold my breath? Most disappointing is that, in the past (pre-five years ago) I rarely had problems. Over the course of the past few years, though, I've had packages arrive empty, or never arrive, or arrive having obviously been opened. Appalling. I will never ship via USPS again, but will use UPS, FedEx, or DHL.

Farmingdale is 15 miles from my home and it has now taken over 4 days to go the last 15 miles.
This is typical. I mailed a package from Huntington NY recently and it took 3 days before it was scanned into the USPS Bethpage facility. 3 days to go 10 miles. And even though I have the USPS tracking number now it says not available to track online. I have to call the post office which I did and a recording told me they would call me back.

I opened an insurance claim knowing full well that my products were not classified as restricted, prohibited, or nonmailable.
My claim was denied. I filed an appeal on this and my claim was denied again, claiming "the laws governing nonmailable, prohibited, or restricted items state that responsibility for mailability rest with the mailer, not the United States postal service. Based on those guidelines, the disallowance of this claim must be sustained." I have been through every last detail of restricted, prohibited, and nonmailable items and cannot find where my products fall into this, and USPS won't take any accountability or give me any further details.

The assistant manager assured me it was their product and pointed out that it was originally a sealed envelope and that the pull tab was missing on the pocket envelope.
I'm still unhappy with Wells Fargo for sending me these checks in an obviously easy to tamper with envelope but the real problem lies with the USPS.

Even downloaded another browser. At the end I got the same error message. The tech told me they have been having a problem with the website for the last week and that I would have to call another 800 number to get forms and file that way.

Consistently, when my father mails packages to me from the small town we are from in the south, I receive an empty box, or I do not receive the box at all. Regarding the last box he mailed me the purchased insurance (as he does on all packages he sends me). I submitted a claim against the loss. I have gotten the run around ever since. Initially, I phoned looking for the package. I received 2 different locations regarding where the package was lost. I inquired about filing a claim. I was told they have to mail me a form versus me going online to print one out and mail it in.
After not receiving it 2 months later, I followed-up calling back. I waited still yet another month for the form. After receiving it, I completed it and mailed it to the respective address. My claim was disapproved based on the fact that I didn't send it in within 30 days of my FIRST phone call to them. I had to prove to them (via my phone records) of my initial call after which they in turn disapproved the claim based on the fact that I didn't include the original receipt for the product for which they lost. When I provided them comparable proof of the product's cost, the final disapproval came from the main U.S. Postal Claims Office in Washington, DC informing me that my claim would now be disapproved based on the fact that I didn't provide them with the receipt of my insurance purchase. I would no longer be able to resubmit the claim for further review.
They continuously denied my claim based on new explanation every time I provided them with what they were asking. These were items that were not asked for previously until the NEXT disapproval for which I kept providing them with the NEW item they were now asking for. I served this country for over 35 years. I would like for them to actually DELIVER my PACKAGES (versus 'stealing' or 'losing' them), or make good on the insurance the people pay for to actually have a package insured in the event it gets 'LOST.' Many people have complaints about these same events. Any advice. Something needs to be done about these dirty practices...

Called at 12:49. Complaint in reference to Employee misconduct/Customer service issues. Tracking Number# **. I contacted USPS in reference to a lost package, which even with the tracking number which is assigned to the package, your agents have NO IDEA where it is. What is the purpose of a Tracking Number if you can't TRACK IT? This is horrible customer service. But I contacted your hotline waited 28 mins, even though the estimated wait time is 12-18 mins. 28 mins. So finally got in-touch with a customer service agent, Demetrius who gave me his information properly, advised that they had NO IDEA where the package was, even with the tracking number. That it doesn't arrive by tomorrow to call. That's where I was disturbed, you have no idea where it is but call tomorrow??
This is where I wanted to talk to a Supervisor because if your company has no idea where it is, and you tell me just call tomorrow, this has become the start to BAD SERVICE!!! So I waited another 8 mins for a Supervisor to get on the phone, after which she answered "Hello." No this is Cor'ela ID ** and I'm the supervisor. Nope just "Hello." And waiting for me to answer. This is another step into Horrible customer service; it went from bad to horrible. So I had to finally say Hello my name is Patrick and you're a supervisor? "Yes my name is Cor'ela." So I re-asked because I wanted to make sure because I'm documenting this whole conversation.
I said, "Yes maam. Ok. I'm calling in about a package that you guys don't know where it is," and before I could finish my statement, she starts railroading me. We spend 3 mins with me saying, "Maam maam maam, maam can I say something?" She would NOT let me talk, as if she was going to try and bully me off the phone. Every chance I got to speak she would interject before I could finish a sentence, and railroad me. When I finally got to ask my question, she said "they just never keyed in the package."
So we finally get an answer why it wasn't found - your processing personnel did NOT key in my package. "So it's nowhere?" Then again she would be Combative and Cut me off, trying to play semantics with a Car vs a piece of mail, saying If I would have paid for a higher class service it would be taken care of better. Seriously? Whether a person buys a Prius, or an Expensive Tacoma they come in for service or call us, we still give them the SAME Service, are you seriously going to be competitive on that?
So my complaints are:- You have NO idea where my package to my customer has gone.
- Customer service is absolutely appalling.
- Now, I'm having to send out another part because you guys never keyed it in, so we are losing money. So thank you, for the bad Service in a whole. This Section of the company will not be using your services any longer!!

Shipped a small package containing a replacement phone to my daughter in the UK. The postal service sent it to the wrong country - Ireland. It should have delivered in 3-5 business days - Friday was the 5th business day. Called USPS when I saw "Ireland" on the tracking. Was assured it cleared thru Ireland and it was addressed correctly. It never moved from that location. Friday it was still not delivered. Numerous calls to USPS but no workable resolution. I requested they give it to UPS to ship to her but they refused to do that.
The phone system is the worst I have encountered in my entire life if you need to speak with a human. She left the college campus on the following Friday - still without the package which should have arrived a week earlier. Totally unacceptable. By the way, sent another package Tuesday night At 5:50pm via UPS (United Parcel Service). Package arrived Thursday morning by 10:10 am in the UK. Yes, that is a day and a half with Worldwide Express service.

USPS 33155, my complaints are numerous and range from "out for delivery" that get delivered two or three days later to "stolen" mail to having to put up with carriers screaming at my wife and I in a very hostile manner while her supervisor stood by and did nothing. My last complain is about a package scanned as delivered that wasn't. When I asked the carrier she claimed she delivered it and my "poodle was outside". I don't have a poodle.. It's a Bichon and she was inside so either the carrier is hallucinating or she got the wrong house.
It used to be they used house numbers, addresses to deliver mail not what kind of dog one has... The carrier called my wife and liars and insisted the dog was out. My security camera disagrees. Have similar problems? Contact USPS Consumer & Government Affairs Office in Washington because calling USPS Customer Service won't do much good even though you have to wait on hold forever to speak to them.
UPDATED ON 09/24/2015: After my wife and I were called liars by Maria **, USPS 33155 carrier **, in front of her supervisor who said nothing, and another station clerk threatening to call the police even though we behaved very courteously and professionally, the package showed up in my mailbox THREE DAYS after the mail lady said she delivered it and scanned it as DELIVERED... Who is the liar then? Ms. ** is still employed by USPS and still doing our route...
BTW, even though USPS is an independent government agency it is still staffed by CIVIL SERVANTS according to the very law that reorganized them in 1970. So if anybody at USPS tells you that you aren't their boss as we were told by Ms. **, they're wrong! You can tell them that according to the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, PUBLIC LAW 91-375, subsection 1001, your mail person is still a CIVIL SERVANT!!!

May 1st 2015 - I was in San Diego, Calif. and I mailed a priority mail box to myself in Maryland (I was going on a trip to China and couldn't take items with me that I had acquired on my visit to Calif.). Cost to mail including additional insurance was over $60. I arrived home June 8th - found "my" box in complete shambles. The original box I had mailed was replaced with a different box and the top of my original box was taped to the "new" box.
All of my contents had either been seriously damaged or gone missing. Example: solid brass platter was bent in half, brass candle stick holders were broken at the welding, glass vase - only a small piece of it remained, brass cricket house damaged beyond recognition, brass tea set from India with inlaid stones - half of the set was missing as well as a mini set gone... Norwegian Troll antique was a mess - all original tags missing, vintage camera missing.. the list continues, but you get the. I filed my claim online with USPS, took pictures, etc. I received a letter telling me to take it to my Lex. Park post office, I turned it in on June 22 and was told they'd look at it and I would need to pick it back up in 1 - 2 weeks.
I heard nothing from them and called USPS - I was then told I hadn't submitted proof of postage insurance (I bought it from USPS but I had to provide them the proof?). So I made a copy of it as well as printed out any info. to prove value of my antiques - some of these had been in the family for 30+ years and went to the local post office on July 9th and turned everything I had to them. They now had everything, proof of insurance, my box with all the contents I had received, proof of value from research from various online places, etc. I then had to leave town on July 16 having no info from them. I receive notice that my claim has been denied due to my not providing info. within the time frame (I had done everything). There was no communication from them at any time saying things were not correct, etc...
There seems to be no communication between their claims department and the local branches. This is the second time I have had to file a claim. Last time it was denied but I did not pursue it because it was only a $20 value. The item was lost and when I sent an inquiry they told me to wait 2 more weeks, I did and when I filed a claim they told me I was outside the time limit (even though I had emails from them showing my first inquiry about a claim was within the time frame). I am out of town and now unable to resend copies, etc. within the appeals timeframe.

I live in Hawaii and do a lot of online shopping. I recently moved to Oahu and was shocked to realize my mail carrier makes NO attempt to deliver my packages. Twice this week I tracked my packages. They said "out for delivery." So I waited patiently. I heard the mail vehicle pull up. It's literally 8 steps away from my front door. Both times the mail person sped away, leaving that pink slip, and NO package. Isn't their job to deliver packages as well as letters? Very frustrated. It's Saturday. If they'd marked my tracking "available for pick-up" initially, I'd of done so. They changed the status literally 5 minutes prior to the mail carrier stopping at the box to put the pink slip in.
Now it's long after the Post Office is closed and my birthday gift needed for tomorrow will sit in the Post Office until Monday. Number one, it's mail and an attempt to deliver it should be made!! Number two, if you're too lazy to honk your horn for delivery, then at least update the tracking information correctly. I've now lived on 3 different islands and this is the first time the mail carrier is too lazy to deliver packages. When I picked up my first package I asked the man at the Post Office if the mail carrier delivers packages. He replied, "It depends." What does that mean? It's mail. It is supposed to be delivered!!!

I hardly find some people who could listen me when I called and I built my evidences and related infos with them. The next day another came - dismiss the case.
The USPS doesn't deliver to the right person but it tries to deliver to the right address. When I told them the person who ever signed for this package is not familiar to me they said it could be sister, wife or a relative at the address. It is amazing a package that have 500 insurance on it lost and now they claimed delivered. I wonder if they track their employees for theft or misleading information though.

I have to rant about our chowchilla post office. It all started a month ago. I was getting none of my mail however I was getting other peoples mail. Same numbers but different street or sometimes same street different number, so I went down to the post office and told them that I hadn't been getting any of my own mail only other peoples mail. They said "sorry we are short handed. That the lady that delivered the mail was a sub from Dos Palos." So I asked "Is there a way to find out if someone else has been receiving my mail?" They said "no you haven't been getting any." I thought wow that's weird. How would they know that just by standing here talking to me and I always get junk mail?
So anyway the next day same thing someone else's mail but this time along with my own. So I took that mail back to the post office and said it happened again and they said "sorry this time it's a different guy delivering." (My thoughts "and"). The guy in the office told me to talk to the post master. So I did and she was nice and apologized. Well so I was going to go on vacation so I thought since I'm here I will have them hold my mail till I return. So I wrote on a form the day I needed my mail held which was about a week out. Well wouldn't you know it. The next day no mail so I went down to the post office and they again apologized and gave an excuse that the postman was suppose to deliver it but he didn't read the note of the hold date.
So when I get back from my vacation went straight down to post office, got the mail that they held (good job for getting that right). I then told the lady "I am back so please start delivering to the house." She wrote it down and you guessed it her little note never made it to the postman so the mail was still being held. So which brings me to present time. I go down there to ask if they had my mail they said yes and sorry. So he hands me my mail, I go home start to look at it and it's someone else's mail.
At this point I am upset. So I go back down there waited awhile because no one was watching the front. All I can here is laughing, joking and what sounded like a TV on in the back. A man finally came to the front. I handed the mail to the man and said "I can't believe you guys handed me someone else mail." Talking to the postmaster was a waste of breath. tampering with someone else's mail is a federal offense and I can't believe this post office is so willy nilly about it. It's scary.

I receive at least a couple packages weekly at my residence via USPS and I really don't understand how they can legally charge for their tracking service. Way too often the predicted delivery date is incorrect, or there are multiple missed scans in the package's journey. Why? Why are these employees so bad at their jobs? Is this a poor training issue? Equipment? Management? While on occasion other shippers will have an issue hitting the estimated delivery date, I'd say 9 out of 10 times it is dead on accurate. I can deal with the date issue more than the miss scans that leave your package location a mystery. USPS has gotten slow, and very unreliable. I really hope one of the competing carriers finds a way to compete cost wise and takes the business away from USPS.

Recently I have had problems receiving my mail consistently. I called my local post office twice to try and rectify the situation. I was told that the matter would be looked into and I would receive a call back. I was waiting for legal documents to come to me and for some reason they were returned to the sender. The sender verified my address and told me that they would try again to resend my important documents. I called my post office to bring this to their attention and I spoke with two different people. The second time I was told that the carrier assigned to our apartment complex has a disability and cannot deliver to apartment complexes, so everyday there is a different carrier delivering our mail. I tried to explain that my mail is not getting to me and also there are times when the mail is destroyed by being stuffed into the mail box instead of being put into the larger box that is provided for larger parcels and also ones that cannot be bent.
I also tried to explain that it is very important that I receive my mail on a consistent basis. I am dealing with Social Security and legal issues and I need to be able to respond in a timely manner for my lively hood. This is not acceptable to me. They did not want to help. When I asked who I could complain to the man was very rude to me and did not want to talk to me anymore. He had taken my name and address down and I still have not received a call back. There was also a package that I did not receive due to the fact that the company omitted my apartment number. Now I realize this is the company's fault, but the supervisor I spoke to at the Post office assured me the package did not get sent back and that he would talk to the carrier who had it and call me so I could pick it up. I am still waiting for the call. That was why I called back again today.
Why on earth is someone who cannot deliver to apartments due to a disability put on a route that has apartments? Why is my mail trashed when I get it and why on earth are they sending mail back that is addressed properly. Why won't they help me? Who can I bring this to? I cannot risk not getting an important piece of mail or having important documents floating around. It does not make me feel comfortable knowing that there is a different person everyday delivering my mail and they seem to deliver what and when they want to. I have nothing against someone working who is disabled, none at all. But if they cannot do the job why were they assigned to it? Please tell me where to go from here. I cannot believe how rudely I was treated by a government employee, actually 2 of them. They claimed to be supervisors.

Called back days later, spoke to someone else -- no claim had been filed. The tiny scrap of tracking information available from USPS was just that it was accepted at the Patchin Station in Chelsea, and then it was scanned for departure. That's it.

The line was out the door and he was the only one working, so I politely asked if he was the only one working. His response was a dry, "No". I could tell he had an attitude as usual. Then I asked if someone else was coming up to help and his response was a dry, "Maybe". I explained my lunch break wasn't that long and I wanted to see if it was worth getting in line for. His response was "I don't know".
I would expect a good employee to be cordial or helpful but this gentleman seems to think that being a schmuck is acceptable. I've never had any confrontations with him before, which gives him no reason to short and rude with me. He's the only person at this post office that is rude to customers. Even the other customers in line were saying how rude he usually is and how much they hate coming to that post office because of the service. I stood in line for about 45mins, got no service, and was talked to like crap. NO ONE should ever have to be talked to like that. The older black man that works at this post office needs to fired.

Ordered item on 07-09-15 website, showed "shipped 07-10-15" and received USPS tracking #. I tried to track the package on USPS.COM but kept getting "No such number" message. I went to the local USPS building and was told that although the package was shipped out on 07-10-15 that doesn't mean it was scanned. Was also told that when the package is physically scanned then the tracking info will be updated. WOW! Learned my lesson! From now on will pay extra for FEDEX or UPS delivery.

My Son is interning in another state. Just before he was to leave his bank debit card was breached. So he left with little money on hand till I could send his new debit card when it arrived. When it did arrive I went to my local post office in southern Kansas. I sent his package priority 2 day mail Tuesday morning. His package arrived at its final leg before delivery to him within 31 hours at the Denver location. It has now been in transit to him which is only 10 minutes from Denver for 3 days (72 hours) and the only thing their tracking will tell me is it's in transit.
Their phone number will only tell me with an automated voice the same thing (in transit). I have no idea if his package has been lost or stolen. And my local post office told me that the 2 days is simply an estimate. And nothing can be done for 30 days if it is in fact lost. No wonder the postal system is in trouble. Should be labeled 2 day priority or whenever it gets there. Very angry and upset with our postal services accountability.

Carriers not scanning packages - last year I was told all year by Highlands, TX Post Office they did not have to scan packages for labels that were generated online. That just didn't seem right to me... This continued to cause lost, late and mis-routed packages. Then come to find out they where suppose to scan them. I'm sorry that is not acceptable. No one is accountable to anyone or anything at USPS!! eBay blocks your accounts when you don't deliver on-time - seriously they could care less why packages are late. They just tell us to use another carrier... right!! There are no other carriers for first-class mail!! So, it cleared up for a little while but not for long.
The local Highlands, TX Post Office said they don't have to scan packages (first-class or priority) unless there was a package pick-up generated by calling the 800 number, which is ridiculous!! They don't even know how their own job is set up. You call 800 number and they say if you need to schedule a pick up, to go online OR call your local post office. I called and told them this and the manager of Highlands Post Office said she'd call me back, like I'd been told SO MANY TIME BEFORE... never to ever receive a call ever!
The manager told me after last year's incidences, that I could call them if I missed the cut-off time to have packages picked up. That's what started all this today, me calling to get a package picked up that I missed the cut-off time. Well, I was told that I would have to wait by the manager in a most vindictive manner because now they were going by regulations!! Regulations... if they say anything (she couldn't cite the regulation, she said, she was told) indicated that they didn't have to pick up packages that were not called in the day before, even if they had to step over them to get to the mail box. I asked her for the reg, she couldn't tell me. I think, like in the military, they are required to keep a copy of all postal regulations that pertain to them.
I've had it, years of being nice and patient... being treated like they can do anything they want and make up their own rules. They hold your packages hostage because they are never held accountable - not by corporate, not by this "Consumer Affairs", not by anyone!! They need to have some form of correct habitual-problem people! Hundreds of packages being lost, mis-routed and so often taking weeks to get to their destination because they were never scanned!!!
She, the manager, acts like I'm being mean-spirited. I can't even look at my package info because it's always so messed up, it gives me anxiety on a regular basis as it is! This route doesn't have a regular carrier. The girl that most typically is on this route does a great job after last year's package "we don't scan online generated packages" was cleared up. But she's not always on this route and no one else scans the packages. I was told several times they were all given training, new scanner and told they had to scan after that year long full of incidences... now they are doing and saying anything they want.
So, after being told they couldn't pick up the packages, I notice they were picked up... BUT NOT SCANNED!!! This would not be an issue unless it did not create SERIOUS problems. And it's always something... if not all this mess, then it's Houston sorting hubs, holding trucks for days to weeks since the beginning of 2005 since they consolidated sorting facilities. More huge major problems of a different nature with the same results.
I'm tired of this attitude of USPS not being held accountable or responsible to anyone time after time after time. Making everyone feeling like they HAVE TO put up with problem-ridden service because they are not held accountable, which is obvious when managers don't even know what their responsibilities are or how the postal system is suppose to work, even in the most basic services that matter and effect service on a daily basis like scanning and tracking.
Again, if you are a consumer and have problems, I urge you to post them in hopes that USPS is forced to have accountability for knowing and following the service that they get paid to do and that is so counted on to be functioning for our country runs smoothly. This is not a light matter and must be taken seriously. If I started meddling with pay checks of the responsible parties at the postal system, perhaps they might start taking their responsibilities a bit more seriously... as even explained, they simply don't seem to care otherwise. It's not right to be treated with total disregard and curt behavior just because you need the employees to actually do and actually know their jobs. And yes, know where to find appropriate regulations or at the very least where to look them up...
This might seem too lengthy, but consider all the very consistent problems for 2 years (ever since I started shipping packages on a regular basis) so stands to reason this has been an ongoing ignored problem likely for many years... which says that it's been ignored at every level!! We need to voice the problems online and not let them fade into the woodwork the way USPS and Consumer Affairs have handled all past attempts at finding resolutions (long-term). Absolutely no room for them to get an attitude!!

Last September 2014 I was living in Samoa, serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer. My service was over at the end of the year and I was planning on traveling before returning back home to to the US. I had a ton of stuff from my two years in Samoa, and I knew that it would make traveling difficult. American Samoa is just a short flight away from Samoa, and American Samoa it is US territory. This means that shipping items through USPS from American Samoa to the US is considered domestic shipping.
Being a volunteer with not much money, I made the trip to American Samoa, with a suitcase weighing approximately 50 lbs. Inside the suitcase were the items that I wanted shipped home to the US. These items were priceless memorabilia from my time in Samoa, including journals documenting everyday of my life there. I also had a ring that my mother gave me over 20 years ago.
The cheapest rate was to ship the suitcase via cargo. I was given a tracking number and told that my suitcase would arrive at its destination less than three weeks later. It has now been 10 months, and the suitcase never made it, leaving me absolutely heartbroken. The items in the suitcase are worthless to anyone else in this world except me. Being that I didn't return back to the US until December 2014, I had my mother file a claim at a USPS store for me, shortly after the suitcase missed its arrival date.
Several months ago, I contacted USPS with the tracking number to get an update on the claim. To my disbelief, I was told that my tracking number is invalid and there's nothing that can be done, since the claim is so old; it is as if my suitcase never existed! Thinking about what's inside the suitcase, and how it is lost (maybe even stolen) gets me angry! I'll never ship with USPS again!!!

While using the "2-day priority mail" for shipping and following the (lack of) tracking information my package arrived at its destination in 9 days. I filed a complaint and was told that the 2-day priority mail is just an estimate. So, a reasonable person would think 3 or 4 days is a close estimate for 2 days. Not at the USPS, there is no guarantee for very poor service. On the 3rd day after filing the complaint I received a phone call at 6:30 am. Yes, that's correct 6:30 am! I returned the call at around 9 am that day and was told that the post office in question is in a "college town" and that is probably why they take an extremely long time to send packages.
I was unaware that the location of the post office was directly related to the time it took to send a package. I think it was something they just made up. I also tried calling the post office in question and they never answer the phone. I tried four different times of day and then noticed that the other online reviews said that they never answer the phone which is definitely true. I will never use USPS again!

When two tenants vacated their apartments, the post office changed their locks on their boxes, but in their ineptitude, they changed our lock too. Monday, my box worked and Tuesday it didn't. I didn't see anyone changing locks, so they must have done it in the middle of the night. Not a letter to ask if we were leaving, nothing. It almost feels sinister to me.
Anyway, the manager of the Westport branch told us to hand in our keys and we'd get keys to a different post box. This was a lie. When we got there, they took our keys and gave us a yellow form to fill out to have our mail kept at the post office. A week later, they claimed there was no yellow form for us, and asked for a lease to the apartment. Now they say we have to only come in twice a week to get our own mail. We need help and fast.

It is close to impossible to file a claim online. The website claim form is improperly designed and will crash on you before you finish your claim. You cannot upload documents images without it crashing multiple times. In fact, I spent one hour trying to make it work and I have a new computer and am pretty savvy with this type of stuff. I spent another hour trying to solve the problem at the post office. Another hour waiting for a call and speaking to the USPS person who hears complaints all day long.

There is a number on the site to have them contact you if you want a claim paper document mailed to you. You wait forever for someone to call. Then someone calls you but the person cannot really help you with your problem except giving you another phone number. I concluded that since it is so hard to get damages from USPS insurance when there is a real problem, then why waste so much money with it. It felt like they try to discourage people from filing quite legitimate claims. Where does all this insurance money go if they are not paying the legitimate claims, given it is so hard to even start getting your claim through. What do old people who buy insurance for their packages do when their parcels arrives damaged.

I received a vintage paper-back book in warped condition; it appears that a mail handler or carrier forcibly bent it in half around a couple of flimsy pieces of letter mail. The odd thing about it is that the package was clearly marked by the seller as having a book inside, and the book is stiffer and thicker than a magazine. So somebody had to work kind of hard to even get it to wrap around those two measly little letters! Given that the situation reeked of carelessness, I decided to call the 1-800-ASK-USPS to report the situation. Years ago, whenever I would have a question or concern about mail, I would call the 800 number and would receive fast, courteous service and almost always my questions could be answered by the telephone agents.
So, I made several telephone calls to the 800 number to ask about postal policy. I called at least 7 times over the course of 2 days, and not once was I connected to a live operator! The voice-automated queue for selections is extremely limited and confusing. There is no longer any means to directly request help from a live operator. Each time I have called, the system has automatically disconnected the call - either immediately after playing the recorded message that customer service is not available at this time, a message about 'high call volume,' or a sound that leads one to believe that a connection to an agent is being made, but after several minutes of silence, the call disconnects.
The e-customer care system doesn't really give customers a facile way to share dissatisfaction with the agency's performance. When you choose "complaint" from the drop down menu, the system button for 'go back' appears, and then there's not anyway to give feedback. Given how the e-customer service web pages are set, and how the automated telephone system is now operating, it appears that the postal service is disingenuous in its assertion that it is committed to providing good customer service. There appears to be an overt strategy to block negative customer feedback and to give customers the proverbial "run-around.' Further evidence of the run-around is the website message urging customers to use the toll-free number and vice-versa.
I realize that the agency is under quite a bit of scrutiny given the unattractive appraisal of the agency's level of customer service as disclosed in the Inspector's semi-annual report. However, the way to genuinely improve customer service is to engage in honest, open dialogue, and to encourage legitimate feedback. Dodging customers by phone and by website is not an acceptable strategy.
I did, however, receive an email response from an unidentified person at the USPS, and I have to give them credit for the fact that at least a couple of lines of text in their response did not seem to be auto-generated. It did appear that someone actually read my e-message, and probably did look into the matter, because now, rather than having improved mail delivery, it is worse. It seems that someone may not be happy about my report, because once again, I received damaged mail that appears to have been caused by carelessness (or as the result of retaliation).
Please understand that I feel grateful for the countless postal workers who make residential mail delivery possible six days a week; overall my experiences with agency staff are positive and uplifting. I do understand that when millions of pieces of mail are machine-handled, that errors and damage in handling do occur. But the kinds of damage that have been occurring to my mail indicate the kind of problem that can't be explained away by just citing the how many millions of pieces of mail that the USPS handles in a year. As citizens of the United States and residential mail customers, we deserve much better. For the next election, I'll be looking at where candidates stand on improving the postal service.

He didn't care. His only reply was, "IS THAT ALL YOU WANT FROM ME?" and immediately SLAMMED the door.
It's bad enough that we are already dealing with a very nasty delivery gal for my residence whom I've made several complaints about but now going to the Rockwall Post Office I get even worse service picking up a simple package that my mail lady should have come to the door with but didn't. I would like Mr. ** dealt with appropriately, possibly early retirement since he's obviously got serious customer service issues as well as ongoing issues with his co-workers! This man is not fit to work with the public and needs to be removed! If you have any questions for me, please feel free to give me a call. I seriously feel he needs to APOLOGIZE to the little, older Asian lady he aggressively attacked in front of the entire post office! Thank you.
