    Ordered items 12/7/25. USPS notification said delivery would occur on 12/15/25. My package arrived in MD on 12/15, but inexplicably was sent to NC. Delivery info was removed from tracking, and I’ve been unable to get any further information. I always worry when vendors use the USPS for delivery because they’re consistently unreliable, sending packages to wrong states, but normally, there’s no choice.

    Shipped a box (small Christmas gift, non-breakable) from Michigan to Japan 12 days ago, paid almost $40 for this service. According to tracking, it hasn't even left my local post office. I went in there to ask about it, they say they're "sure" that it's moving, just not being scanned. What is the point in having a tracking system if you aren't going to actually, you know, TRACK the packages? My daughter in Japan is watching for a package but we don't know where it is...after 12 days! I figured it would take at least 2 weeks to get there, but I also thought that it would've at least made it onto a truck and left my local office by now. I am so angry at the USPS and heartbroken for my daughter spending her first Christmas so far from home and not even able to rely on the post office to get a small gift from home to her. Absolutely ridiculous.

    Today I filed a request for support about a missing package. A USPS staff member called. She told me the tracking information on their website is COMPLETELY FICTIONAL. That my package was last tracked at the location when it was dropped off over a week ago and hasn't been seen since. She also added that post office is under no obligation to actually ship packages (sound awfully like theft!) and that if I cared I should have paid for express shipping - I didn't have the option to do that via a third party. No business should ever use the post office. Time to abandon ship, fire everyone and start again from scratch.

    I am writing about delivery problems with our post office in Dillwyn, Va. We have not received any mail since Dec. 8th and today is the 12th. This is not uncommon. This has been an ongoing problem for months. I signed up to USPS informed delivery so I would know what we were suppose to get, but didn't. We have had to pay late fees on bills because we never received the bill. I have complained to the local post office many times with no results. They said our carrier has been out for a month and they don't have a replacement. Also the postmaster here has been fired twice and they have to hire him back because they don't have anyone else to fill the position. Everyone on our route is complaining but no results. Not sure what to do, to get our mail and packages. I will also be writing a letter to our representative, John **. We desperately need help at this post office.

    I receive a slip telling me that a package requires a signature and will be ready for pick up at the Lowell PO the next day. I go to the PO the next day and they can't find my package, and they can't look up the tracking number because the network is down. Then they disappear. Two days later I am told that the package is at another post office 10 miles away. When I go there, they can't find it because the network is down and I need to sign electronically. That's when I politely said that I wasn't leaving until I received my property. I pointed to a box behind the counter and asked if that was mine. It was.

    About twenty years ago I recall a news story about how the USPS had become so efficient that they had to actively delay ordinary first class mail because it would often be delivered within 24 hours of the PO's receipt. That made overnight express delivery unnecessary and as consumers realized, they wouldn't pay extra for a service they were going to get anyway. I smile at my mail carrier and give them some chocolate at Christmas, but otherwise I would prefer to never interact with USPS again. If Jeff Bezos is reading this, I recommend that Amazon starts for profit competition and sends the miserable USPS into the history books. Useless, unpleasant, inefficient, rude. Why bother with an organization that literally has distain for its customers?

I showed up with a package delivered late that has spoiled, late by a month... I had in hand the package and the receipt sent to me. I was told this was not sufficient evidence to process a claim.

    Priority Mail has went severely downhill. Used to be very dependable for 2-3 day delivery, or faster. Now takes 3-8 days. I've used it several times this year and couldn't be more disappointed. Maybe the USPS should just give it up. Even worse, regular mail takes 2 weeks. So, if using priority mail I guess it is technically faster than regular mail, but good grief.

    I have had the worst delivery experience with USPS. For the last 12 years, I received mail from the same sender to the same address we live in. The letter is a certified mail and now it’s lost. It has going through many distribution centers. From Kearny to Hackensack. They past each place twice. The second time, it returned to Hackensack 3 days ago. We opened an investigation on Nov. 30th. They didn’t stop the mail in one place until they finished the investigation.

    And they say that the letter is coming to my address but to give it time. More than 20 people told me different things. What is inside the letter is something I needed receive before Dec 1st and I have to use that item everyday. USPS and the workers, including the supervisors, don’t admit that they made an error. If they made a mistake, why don’t they fix it as soon as possible.

    Every call I made told me something else. How can wait for something that I need for every day use. I have to spend money for this item because they didn’t resolve this problem. The A.I system is flawed. They make you reply more than 10 times and they hang up on you, forcing you to call back. It is the worst service for a certified letter. I can’t imagine what can happen with a regular letter if it was in the same situation. If they don’t fix the problem, we can’t get a replacement letter until they don’t fix the trouble they made. The worst experience I have.

    I have driven down here from New Jersey to Pompano Beach Florida where I am looking for a real estate investment. I've had a PO box at 325 West Groveland Avenue in Somers Point, New Jersey 08244 for years now. I confirmed with my local post office before coming here that I could have a second post office box in Florida so I can have my mail transferred while I'm looking for real estate investment, also it says on the website and all over the internet that having an out-of-state PO box is perfectly allowed and the forms are available.

    I went to the post office at 1950 Northeast 6th Street in Pompano Beach Florida 33060 and asked the lady at the counter to just review my second form of identification before I go online and fill out the forms. The woman told me that I was not allowed to open a PO box in Florida because I don't have a Florida address, I explained to her that I got the forms online read about it on the website and confirmed it with my local post office that it is allowed. She told me that I was not allowed to do it and I would need to use a friend's address and have a notarized letter that I'm staying with them which is absurd!

    I tried to help this woman understand that the rules are clear on the United States postal service website and she said NO! I told her I would like to speak with the postmaster. Her reply to me was quite rudely I might add, " I am the lead here and I'm telling you that you can't open the post office box and you can go online and file a complaint." Under no circumstances am I going to be turned away from this postal worker. I filed a complaint over the phone. My case number is **.

    The lady on the phone agreed with me and was very understanding. She gave me the phone number for the direct district office which I'm trying to get in touch with now. If you do a Google search for this post office and read the reviews you will find that the place has a horrible reputation for its conduct. Who is this woman because she claims to be some big “lead” thinking she has the right to make her own rules or deny me speaking to the postmaster??

    I am going to make as much noise as I need to make but this woman should be terminated from her job immediately, she has absolutely no concern for the people who go in there totally unaware of what they mean they need to receive through the mail. I would appreciate a reply so that I know this is being addressed. I want my post office box and I need it now! Even after I get it this woman will be certain to make sure my packages are delayed, missing or damaged because she's going to know it was me who made this complaint. I am not going away.

    Further, her excuse for this treatment was that they get a lot of fraud! So she's categorizing me? The fact that they get a lot of fraud is not my problem if it's even true and to categorize me as somebody who could be committing fraud is unacceptable. That's being made guilty before even committing a crime. Thank you for your time in this matter

    The USPS, through a recent misguided policy, has become completely inefficient and unreliable. Due to an increased frequency of carrier accidents, the USPS has decided to discontinue package/parcel deliveries to residences. Their internal problem, that could be addressed through training and an implementation of quality assurance measures, has been dumped on the consumers. According to a USPS manager, they have a contract with Amazon to deliver 80% of their packages. If you pay for an Amazon Prime membership you are throwing your money away. Two day shipping is only possible if you’re willing to go pick your packages up at the Post Office. Amazon is complicit in this USPS debacle.

    Yesterday I received my package to United States Postal Service. I had ordered parts from Big Gun exhaust and the Box was completely smashed in one and looked like it had been soaked and then taped. Had pieces missing out of the package, I had paid almost $400 for this unit and this is how the United States Postal Service treat your packages. I would highly rethink sending anything of value through the United States Postal Service or FedEx. So far UPS has been really good.

    The USPS is not like any other international delivery service I’ve ever experienced. It’s terrible. For example, in the UK if you put a valid address on a letter or a parcel it gets delivered there. Even if the name on the parcel is not correct or spelt correctly or does not live there. As long as it is a valid address, they will deliver it there. They consider it the sender’s responsibility to make sure that the information is correct. In other words they’re not responsible if you get it wrong. Not so with the USPS. This created a big headache for me as I am in the United Kingdom and I shipped an original piece of artwork to the USA to an address where the recipient owned the property and used to live there although they did not live there any longer. The residents at the property were this person‘s tenants so they knew the person that I had sent it to.

    But because the mailman thought that the recipient would not be known there anymore, he marked it as addressee unknown. He never went up to the house and knocked on the door. He never left a card. He didn’t even hold it at the post office and mark the tracking as held for more information requested. I think he just decided to send it back to be difficult because it was an international parcel. The same day he failed to deliver it he sent it back to the Kansas City international distribution center. They sent it on to Chicago who sent it back to Kansas City who sent it back to Chicago who sent it back to Kansas City who sent it to Saint Paul Minnesota who sent it back to Chicago. It was in SIX distribution centers nine times over 30 days and then they just stopped.

    Customer service was extremely rude to me and kept explaining why they sent the parcel back. I didn’t need to know why they sent it back. I just needed to know why they wouldn’t actually send it back. All they wanted to do was chastise me about the address not being correct. But it was a correct address and the postman should not have been relying on his personal thoughts to decide whether or not to deliver the parcel. The USPS is supposed to deliver mail. They are a service company not a thinking Company. Consequently, I don’t have my package back and customer service got so tired of me asking why it was going back-and-forth and back-and-forth and back-and-forth between distribution centers that they quit talking to me. They think it’s my fault: but why does that give them the right to ignore me and steal my property.

    I filed a missing mail request and got no response. So I filed another one and that one they picked up, but they’ve done nothing with it and it’s been three weeks. How can a division of the United States government blacklist someone just for complaining? It wasn’t my decision to send it back. It was theirs. Therefore, I am not responsible for their decision to send it back. Why can’t they just do their jobs? I suggest you use any other delivery company than USPS because if they decide they don’t like you, they will steal your property and then blame you.

    Systemic Failure Begins: Despite my payment, the post office again closed my box and changed the lock. Astonishingly, they continued to place mail into a locked box to which I was denied access.

    Complete Loss of Mail: For months, each visit to the post office to inquire about my mail was met with the same response from clerks: "We don't know where your mail is." During this time, I complained to the Postmaster for Wilmington, and Postal Service, to no avail, if anything it made the situation worse.

    Two months ago, (September 2025), I spoke with the new supervisor who acknowledged the problem. He personally delivered a large accumulation of my mail a few days later. This confirmed that my mail was being held within the facility, inaccessible to me. Since that one-time delivery, I have received no mail whatsoever. In fact, 11/19/25, I received a call from Delmarva Power requesting my new address, I told the young lady that that I’m still at the same address. She then explained that the post office sent my mail back and wrote on the envelope, “return to sender, moved wear about unknown .” This is not a case of intermittent service; it is a complete blackout of my postal delivery.

    On November 17, 2025 I visited the Rodney Square office. The clerk, who was visibly annoyed, again stated she did not know where my mail was and, when I requested to speak with the supervisor, I was told he was not available. The consequences of their shameful failures are not merely inconvenient; they are catastrophic.

    • Financial Security: My bank sent a new debit card six weeks ago. It has never been delivered, leaving me without secure access to my funds.

    • Loss of Vital Benefits: Most devastatingly, the Delaware Department of Labor sent time-sensitive correspondence regarding my unemployment claim. Because the post office held this mail for over three months, the deadline to respond expired. As a direct result, my unemployment benefits have been terminated, and I'm now indebted to the state of Delaware for a portion of the payment received.

I tried contacting USPS for assistance, but the tracking system only allows you to view FAQs, and there’s no way to get meaningful support. This level of service is unacceptable. Packages are important, and the lack of communication and support makes it impossible to trust USPS for timely deliveries.

    I would give negative stars if possible - Auburn, California post office is a failed institution. First, they've drawn an imaginary line that they won't deliver packages past. Next, when the parcel lock box is full they return packages to USPS instead of attempting delivery the following day even though the package is not available for pick up until the following day. It averages one hour including drive and wait time to go pick up a package yet they won't deliver the package 0.1-0.2 miles past the imaginary line.

    Next, after lodging complaints my carrier has delivered my government issued documents that need timely action to another address. This has occurred multiple times with important bills or government documents. Retaliation is defined as imposition of an adverse action (e.g., harm) against in individual who asserts their constitutional rights (filing grievance or complaints).

    An international package landed in Sarasota, FL and was misdelivered. It says so in tracking. USPS opened a case twice, then closed it. I just got off the phone with a USPS agent and she says that it has been declared "lost". The Glengarry Post Office in Sarasota claims that there was a mistake in scanning and then they corrected it to my home address. USPS Informed Delivery still shows that it was delivered to "front desk/mail room". They have no way to find out where that is. Someone, presumably from the Glengarry Post Office, delivered it there. Once the package is declared "lost", USPS has washed its hands of it. Along with many other people serviced by Glengarry, I wrote a review on Google about the local carrier (not my regular guy, Luis -- he's great) putting an attempted delivery slip in my mailbox, even though I was home, and driving away. This happened 3 times.

    Recently a mail carrier misdelivered a package, and thanks to Luis, he found it and brought it to me with an apology. If you look at Google Reviews for the Glengarry P.O. you'll see a long list of complaints about lost packages and an overall score of 1.6. I tried multiple times to call Glengarry and got a "circuit busy". Same thing happened with USPS Customer Service's phone line, although I got through today and the person I talked to was very nice, but could only say "lost" and nothing more USPS can do. She suggested talking with the shipper in Australia to see if I can get a refund, but it's not their fault! Your tracking shows it making its way through their mail system and nothing going wrong until it landed in Sarasota's USPS system.

    That package landed somewhere in Sarasota, to a "front desk", so the local post office should find out from the mail carrier where that was. If he's saying he then scanned it correctly to my address, then why does USPS still show "front desk"? Your customer service agent, when told that the carrier "hit the wrong button", had no idea what that meant. Do you? The name of the carrier, or his employee number, should be associated with that package. However, it was probably erased before or after I filed a complaint. I will have to refrain from ordering from overseas businesses. Another package was delivered from Thailand, landed in the Chicago Distribution Center, and sat there for three weeks. It was a plant, and it was nothing but mush when I finally received it. The sender tried to file a claim and got nowhere.

    I paid for overnight shipping, and USPS completely failed to deliver on time. My package was marked “on the truck for redelivery,” yet it never arrived. I even went to the post office to pick it up myself—the day after getting out of the hospital, with strict instructions not to drive—because I urgently needed the package. To make matters worse, USPS refuses to issue a refund since I picked it up instead of waiting for another failed delivery attempt. This is completely unfair. I paid extra for overnight service, and they did not uphold their end of the deal. It’s unacceptable to offer an “overnight” option that doesn’t actually mean overnight, especially when there’s no accountability or compassion for customers dealing with real-life situations. Do better, USPS.

    The other employee asked her if she could give me a money order. She did not answer. Her workmate asked me if that would be alright. I said yes. Then she rudely told me to fill out this long form. I asked if I had to fill out this form just to get a refund since I had my receipt with all my information. She then snapped back, "if you want service you need to fill it out," I replied that I have not gotten any service here since my I day delivery took 4 days and I have been waiting a long time just to get a refund.

I filed a missing mail form online twice, and was subsequently contacted by a customer service rep each time and told that there was no mail being held at the local post office.

    USPS is supposedly upgrading their automated systems. If we thought they were bad before, they're absolutely horrific now. It appears they have changed their departure process as far as pickups for mail. Now they only pick up once a day at 6:30 a.m. where I live. So that means, when I bring a package in and send a priority, it won't go out until the next day, so we've already delayed a day in shipping time. Now, a critical package for a car repair on a unit that is needed for my vehicle to pass inspection is delayed. It was brought to the post office on Monday and was to be here today, Thursday. However, it's been bouncing around the Distribution Center for going on 3 days. Apparently paying for priority is useless.

    So now I get to wait and hope that this delicate repaired module makes it back to me in one piece by Saturday... 5 full days after being mailed. If you want to be sure your packages will get where they're going safely and in a timely manner, I recommend you find another carrier.

That is not only misleading but completely unacceptable, especially since I am currently injured and unable to walk to the post office.

    I even sent my father to pick up the package with all of my account information, and he was still denied the package. When I called Amazon customer support, their system stated “delivery rejected.” That is a blatant lie. USPS not only refused to deliver my package, but they also kept it essentially hostage and misrepresented every step of the process. What kind of business model is that? USPS is misleading customers, refusing service, and then covering it up with false tracking updates! This level of dishonesty and disregard for customers is appalling and unprofessional. My trust in USPS has been completely eroded, and I will be avoiding their services whenever possible.

Someone at the Houston Texas post office never got the signature that I paid for and package seems to just have been stuck in the door and left was my guess. I lost the money and the gold coin from what was laziness and then they even quit answering the phone. Still showed out for delivery even after 1 YEAR.

    Recently I sent a package a man paid $40 for and was insured for $50 max. Anyways he got the package and it was smashed and items missing. It got stuck in a machine most likely. You could throw it around and not hurt the contents. Anyways there was a big hole in the box and some of the things were missing that fell out. All was a group of chargers, batteries and other digital camera stuff that people still use since many items are compatible. My point is items were missing they cause. The guy paid $40 and I had to refund him some money to make him happy and be fair and honest as I am!

    I had to file insurance and thats not easy as they never were very good setting up their site at USPS. Even after they call what they think is an update. They never responded and said if I ask an questions it would only prolong my claim. So all I could do was wait. Then got a check in the mail for $25. That's it! No reason for the idiot solution someone decided on. So sent in an appeal that maybe they might even get a reason. Time went by. I gave up. Then maybe a week or so later got their response. They called it depreciation of the items? They depreciated because they lost some is all! Of course the value went down Einstein!

    I had to refund because of what someone there did but and was their conclusion! Then they said I can file an appeal AGAIN and include a bunch of time taking forms or proof which I already did plain as day. I give up. I just was so mad at stupidity and greed that I had to at least say something. All this time I spent on this $15 that I had to pay extra is just not worth it had I know this in the beginning.

And I always end up having to reach out to the companies, letting them know I didn't get it and having to get a refund. My mail carrier is great, I love her. And I don't understand why she wasn't able to deliver it with the other package she delivered? It was small enough, nothing big. And it makes me feel like these carriers who mark packages as delivered are stealing them. I work too hard for my money to keep consistently having these people not do their jobs and not be held accountable.

    I have a community mailbox. My mail is NOT delivered to my actual house, it is delivered to a locked box located with other locked boxes. 7/2 of this year, a bathing suit is “delivered” but not in my box. I call my local postal annex. I’m told my mailman was on vacation so the person covering probably stuck it in the wrong box. Which I can actually hear a voice in the background say “Oh, I probably stuck it in the wrong box oops, hee hee”. That’s not my problem; incompetence of your employees is not my fault. The solution was to file a form for reimbursement. Which I did and I have heard nothing.

    Now it’s September, still no answer on the bathing suit, but now my dog vitamins and 2 t-shirts have been “delivered” but NONE of it was in my box. I call the post master to file an official complaint. That’s 4 packages in 3 months!!?? Is my mailman taking my stuff? It’s a community mailbox! It is not being stolen unless THE POST OFFICE IS PUTTING IT IN THE WRONG BOX. Again, not my problem!!! People that do their jobs at my company don’t have jobs!

    My annex is supposed to investigate my claim per the postal inspector complaint. The local annex just closed my case. They email me to contact the sender — really? It’s the sender's fault that they keep stealing or misplacing my mail???? Then they tell me to look around for hidden places. What? Again, community mailbox!!! And if for some reason they did walk it to my house, guess what, I HAVE A CAMERA, SO NICE TRY. I would have seen when & where the package was placed.

    Then they suggest in this ridiculous email for ME to go door to door and ask if anyone got my packages. WHAT? My mailman covers BLOCKS. How would I know where he made the mistake? How many blocks should I cover? How about this, how about the employee that wrote this email goes door to door for blocks looking for my packages that they lost? How does that sound, Renee **? Now I had to call back, I’m waiting for the next step, I’m out $200+ dollars, all my mail is on hold because I can’t trust them and I’m going to have to get mail box elsewhere just to avoid the USPS. Reliable? Nope. And they don’t care if they lose all your stuff. Wish negative stars was a thing.

    It's been a while since the first. Went in to do business. The shorter male was rude. I told him if he hated his job maybe he should find another one. He started screaming that he didn't know me and demanded that I leave. The postmaster witnessed it all. I asked if he stood by that. He said no and apologized. He said nothing to the clerk in front of me. It has been probably a year or so. Since the second indecent. I went in to do business. The taller male clerk was working, my southern upbringing taught me to say, "Hey, how are you doing," etc always!!! In the middle of saying how he interrupted and said loudly 'what will be?' I tried again in the middle of how he again almost screaming, "What will it be!?" I didn't say anything other than my business.

    I did not thank him because I wasn't thankful because of his attitude. As I turned around he started screaming at me that I was rude and did not thank him. It took me so abbak to be personally attacked. I don't remember exactly what I said. I yelled back. I'm sure I used a cuss word. He screamed GET OUT!, IF I CAME BACK HE WOULD REFUSE ME SERVICE! I talked to the postmaster the next day at the Foley AL. Location. He works both. He said talk to him and file a report. Saw him several times in passing. Asked about progress, none reported? He seems nice but maybe protecting employees. I've had mail that I know was sent not show up and social security mail that I never received. Don't know if it has anything to do with this. I hope not. Thanks for listening. Terry

    USPS is NEVER my first choice. I refuse to use priority shipping that costs more to ship and adds several days to the delivery. Even if I ship something that is only 2 hrs away I use UPS. At least I know it will get there on time instead of sitting a usps hub for days before forwarding the mail to its destination.

    Place order with Menards. Delivery date was September 9th per USPS. Followed tracking. Sat in Pennsylvania for 2days, on the 9th it was in transit. On the 10th it arrived in Youngstown, Ohio at 3am. Then shipped to Canton, Ohio. Now at 11:30 am it is sitting north in Akron, Ohio with no arrival date. No wonder USPS is broke. They need to let FedEx, UPS, Amazon take over mail service. They make money and deliver on time. And 78 cents to mail a letter and employees dress and look like bums

    On 08/18/2025 I shipped a package from the West Salem, Oregon post office. I paid $24 and change for shipping and insurance. The ETA was 09/02/2025. As of now, 09/08/2025, the package has not been delivered. Tracking just says it's late but in transit. Duh! I tried to contact them via their website. They do not seem to want to be bothered as I was unable to contact them. I gave up after a half hour. I do not recommend using USPS if you need punctuality or efficiency.

    USPS has got to be the most inefficient government service in existence. They send packages in opposite directions of their destination, hold packages for multiple days then deliver to the wrong addresses. If I had a choice in shipping during an online purchase I won't choose usps ever.

    Don’t expect something on a certain day because it’ll literally be a week later after the delivery date. Your package can be coming from Chicago. It’ll still take a week and a half to make it to Milwaukee. It’ll be in Oak Creek for 2 days just sitting before it get to you.

    I am writing to express my extreme frustration with the Lakeville Post Office. This isn't the first time they've been belligerent and treated my mail with complete disregard. My latest issue involves a package that was marked as 'delivered' but was nowhere to be found. After I contacted USPS customer service (844-637-1509), an investigation was opened. I received an email from Supervisor Taramattie **confirming that the package was indeed misdelivered and is now considered irretrievable. The carrier went back but could not find it, and there is seemingly no accountability for the person who received my package by mistake.

    To add insult to injury, I was told that because the package was not insured, I cannot be reimbursed, and the burden falls on me to contact the merchant for a reshipment or refund. This is absolutely unacceptable. The post office made the error, yet they take zero responsibility for it. This isn't just about a missing package; it's about a complete failure of service and a lack of accountability. Lakeville Post Office needs to do better. Please help our community.

    Was told that my delivery would be delivered today, and of course it's not. I obviously tracked my package to see what was going on. Mind you I live in Central Wisconsin. Why does it say it got to Frankfort Illinois, then flew right past me and went to Grand Rapids, Michigan, just to go past me again and go to Madison. Now it's just been sitting in Oshkosh with no updates. You could've dropped my package off on the way to Michigan.

    To Whom It May Concern, I am extremely frustrated with USPS service. I do not typically use USPS personally, but others do, and I have had multiple packages lost or stolen in the past. Most recently, my attorney sent me important documentation via Priority Mail on August 28, and it has still not been delivered to my home. I filed a report, but I have received no resolution or meaningful updates. When I called customer service, I was told my package is not lost. However, when a package cannot be delivered by the guaranteed date and no one can locate it, that is the definition of lost. This has caused me significant stress and inconvenience. USPS must take responsibility for mishandled packages and the disruption it causes to people’s lives. Right now, it feels as though there is little to no accountability.

    I am requesting:
    1. An immediate update on the location of my package.
    2. Accountability for the repeated issues with lost mail.

    3. Assurance that steps will be taken to prevent this from happening again.

    This situation is unacceptable, and I urge USPS to handle this with the seriousness it deserves.

    How do I give this ZERO Stars! The USPS is pathetic... People are stealing within the Postal System!!! I sent a Birthday Card containing a gift card in a padded envelope from Accord, NY to my sister in Salem, OR. I took it in personally to the post office and handed it to the clerk who stamped postage on it. It got to my sister a week later and put in her "locked mailbox"... The envelope had been opened, gift card stolen and flap tucked in (not sealed). I filed a theft report with both the USPS & FTC. This is CRAZY... Used to feel the postal system was safe! Trump needs to see all these 1-star complaints and maybe outsource this!

    Out of 3 packages this week, 2 are Mis-Sent, they were at the final destination to get sent to the delivery carrier of course, USPS sent them 4 hours away, though to a completely different place they shouldn't have. One went 4 hours away, the other went 2 hours away. How is it at the last destination to go to my local post office to get delivered and they send two of them in different directions? How? How is that possible? How can you be so incompetent? Don't bother calling USPS, customer service representatives have no clue what's going on and all they do is make excuses.

    She tried to tell me that's where they go to get sorted, so they go from being 40 minutes away to 4 hours away to get sorted? Complete lie, I know the route, I'm so sick of USPS, they're worthless. Completely worthless. I have never had an issue from UPS or FedEx like this ever, and I mean ever. They should just rename themselves GPS for Garage Postal Service.
