    Terrible. I sent a package to someone in Wilmington, VT and the carrier is clearly blind or incompetent. I sent a package with a label printed out on my computer in 24 font. I covered the whole label with mailing tape. I found out it was returned to sender. I called the customer service center who tried to extort more money out of me to send the package back to VT so the carrier could refuse to deliver it and send it back again. The address was verified as complete by several USPS employees. The problem with it being returned lies solely on the incompetence of the USPS. I have several more packages ready to go to the same recipient and now have to repackage to use another carrier.

    I’m extremely disappointed with USPS service. My recent package was marked as delivered, but I never received it. Upon checking the tracking information, I learned that the package was handed to a stranger at an unknown address, and now I have no idea where it went. This is completely unacceptable. It’s alarming that USPS would deliver a package to someone with no connection to my address. I’ve tried reaching out for assistance, but the process has been slow and unhelpful. If USPS can’t ensure safe and accurate deliveries, I’ll have to reconsider using their services in the future. I hope this issue is resolved quickly, but based on my experience, I cannot recommend USPS for reliable package delivery.

    I am presently awaiting the delivery of a tax payment check from Toledo, Ohio to Columbus, Ohio (a distance of 140 miles). Last June, I sent the payment via USPS Certified Mail. It took 23 days!! I started using Direct Pay electronic transfer for the next payments. However, the Direct Pay site contains a glitch with which Ohio is grappling to fix. So now here I am …. stuck with the incompetent postal service. I mailed it 7 days ago and it has still not arrived. History repeats itself with this sub-par service.

    Typical dei government run garbage agency. I ordered a package for my granddaughter for Christmas on December 16. It sat in Kansas for almost 10 days. Went thru the excruciating process of filing a complaint. It has been bouncing on a US tour for last 10 days. Can't talk to anyone that speaks English to find out what is going on. Don't expect them to do any extra work to assist you. Just tell you what you can already see from tracking information. Another government agency that needs to be cut for waste.

    Packages arrive late very frequently. I have informed delivery and it’s almost always wrong. It will say a package is supposed arrive in a certain date then won’t and it will update to delivery date unknown. Most ridiculous in the shipping business. If I had a choice I would never use USPS. Not dependable at all. Extremely frustrating, especially knowing you pay for their incompetence.

    The absolute worst, and most unprofessional, postmaster and mail carrier we have ever encountered. The carrier that services our road claims to be afraid of our dog, even though she is the same size and breed (Australian Shepherd) as the previous occupants’ dog and they had no problems with this carrier (we are friends and have talked with them about it). Not only is their dog quite animated, barks a lot, and can be unruly, our dog is in training to be a service dog for hospital and nursing home patients.

    When we went to talk with the postmaster about our grievances, we brought her with us and she interacted with multiple strangers in the lobby and showed no aggression toward the postmaster. We have attempted multiple times to remedy matters with the carrier and she has adamantly refused. Instead, she reported to the postmaster that she is afraid of the dog, and of my husband who she said she felt was “bullying” her when he calmly, directly attempted to address and resolve matters by talking to her.

    The postmaster was dismissive of our complaints and concerns. This included our concern for all the carriers more broadly, because they have been instructed by the postal service training to hold their foot against the door to prevent the occupant from opening it if there is concern over a dog inside (we were informed of this by the postmaster herself). The carrier did this on one occasion to me, claiming later to my husband that she “knew” I was going to open the door and let the dog out (the dog wasn’t even in the room - I had locked her in another room because I knew of the carrier’s professed fear). On another occasion she held the door handle and would not let me open it.

    In both cases, I was being forcibly held in my own home. We explained to her and to the postmaster that these actions could readily be interpreted as acts of aggression, regardless of her intent, and that although there would be no aggressive reaction in response from us, the same could not be said of those who may have past trauma that would be triggered by this inappropriate (though officially sanctioned) behavior. We specifically mentioned war veterans with PTSD as one possible example of how foolish and potentially dangerous these approaches are to the carriers.

    The postmaster does not hold the employees accountable for bad behavior, and was not interested in even considering the validity of our complaints to do an appropriate root cause analysis. It was like talking to a tape recorder that simply kept looping the same lines. She also appeared unwilling to lodge any record of complaint in this employee’s personnel file, as my husband had specifically requested based on standard operating procedure in other customer service industries. Finally, note that we get deliveries from UPS and FedEx on a regular basis, and they have actually interacted with our dog.

    The worst possible service you will EVER use, their overnight shipping, it has literally cost my company a 20,000 dollar production bonus. The checks were sent out from their Akron distribution center on December 30 at 2:49 pm, with a December 31st delivery date and as of today January 3, they don't even have any idea where they are at. The checks in the package needed posted before the new year to qualify for a production bonus we worked on the whole year. This story is 100 percent true. I need an attorney to at least look at this, please contact. NEVER USE THIS SERVICE, they are simply can't do this service. Go with a reputable service like FedEx or UPS.

    I am super impressed and grateful for USPS. This year I sent three Christmas packages, one across the country, but I sent them too late and none of them were supposed to arrive by Christmas. I tracked the packages and realized many times they were getting to the distribution center in the middle of the night, and that USPS was working through the night to get my wonderful friends their gifts. They ended up receiving them two days before Christmas. I was so impressed and happy, and so grateful for all the hard work that you guys put in. Thank you so very much!

    I will no longer ship with USPS. December 9 we sent two packages 3 day Priority Shipping from Tennessee, one to Oregon and the other to Virginia. Estimated delivery date was December 11. Shipping together cost almost $40. The package to Oregon arrived 10 days later, the package to the east coast - 16 days after being sent. Totally unacceptable for the service purchased. And unless you also buy "extra services." 3 day Priority Shipping is a lie, it does not exist - it is a marketing tool to charge you more money for a perceived shipping time that they don't have to honor. Just like the drug companies, immunity from repercussions of poor service. FEDEX and UPS are now our shipping company of choice.

    I mailed 2 packages from OH to WA on 12/14 with an estimated delivery date of 12/19. The packages were being sent to kids for Christmas, one package to Lacey and one to Olympia. The packages were insured. I called the post office a few days after the packages were not delivered and before Christmas. I was given a ticket number so the matter could be looked into. The tracking shows one of the packages in Aurora, Colorado and I believe they are both there. There has been no updates to the tracking since 12/21. I called today to check with the post office for an update and was informed that my tickets were closed without my notification. I was provided new ticket numbers and the person on the phone told me since the packages were insured, I could file a claim. I spent countless hours putting together the gifts. We have kids that did not receive their presents that were customized for them for Christmas! This is heartbreaking!

    Someone at USPS is throwing out our mail and this is a criminal offense. We have complained multiple times about not getting mail for four or more days over the past year which in the past forty years we have never gone more than one day without getting mail in other USPS locations. When we go into the local Forest Acres USPS office they said they are having resource issues and are having issues getting the mail to their location. They said a new carrier was starting in our location and would be better.

    USPS people from other counties have on occasion delivered packages to our house and they have told us that they are helping because our USPS county and location are having major issues. The only explanation is that people at USPS are throwing out our mail. We have made multiple complaints to USPS with no one reaching out to us.

    The last few years since the pandemic have been the worst. The clerks behind our local counter are phenomenal. They work hard. My issue is with the postal service in general. Costs have increased exponentially, and certain services have been deleted, such as overnight mail or 2 day priority service. Everything is ground service now. Also, if you do send something "express," it's costly, but it DOES NOT GO EXPRESS. Useless, waste of money.

    Packages take a long time to reach their destinations, or they get stuck at some weird roundabout state postal location. The postal service has changed; we no longer have regular postmen, postwomen delivering packages. Now they come out of another city, not from our local P.O. They are careless and clueless. They shove packages into our mailbox instead of, God forbid, walking a few steps to our doorstep. I caught one flinging a package into the driveway. I'm beginning to think about using Fedex and UPS exclusively, they're not as bad, yet.

    I was waiting for 7 items to be delivered. When I didn’t received my packages, I check the tracking and it said it was ”delivered, handed to a resident”. What kind of courier hand packages to random resident without any confirmation and who did they hand it to. I filled an online report with them and when they called me back, all they said was they were going to follow up with the courier that day. I never heard back from them.

    Days later, I order another package, I waited for the couriers to come, I recorded the conversion and had a talk with her and she knew who I was and the situation. Apparently her manager talked to her, so it’s clear to me it’s safe to say she was the same courier that handed my package to someone random. Because they can track her route and she was the only one they talked to. Also she told me it’s her route. She knew I was on to her and she got caught so she started coming with excuses such as being off and how responsible she is with packages and always bringing it to the unit door. It is 12-23-2024 and I’m still waiting for updates on the investigation. Just found out they had close my case number so I filed another report and it’s reopening it. They need to hold their couriers liable if they are giving it to strangers.

    On another area, it says accepted. It keeps says it will be delivered the day that I check by 9pm but never shows. I was told to contact shipper and I did. They said they don’t have any ability to file a claim? I’m confused. I do understand that these things happen but the lack of investigating and just passing it off on someone else, is mind blowing. You’re telling me that somewhere, the USPS/ups or whoever, lost the package off of a truck or inside a building? Was scanned somewhere and then poof? I just find that odd.

    As a United States veteran who uses the VA for my medical needs, USPS is responsible for delivering my necessary medications. This is not the first time I have had delivery issues with USPS but this is the most concerning delivery miss I have had with them and hopefully this review prompts them to look at their process and improve as there are thousands of vets around the US that use their services for life saving medication delivery. USPS lost my medication and failed to deliver it and put my life in danger, grossly failed to provide sufficient support, resulting in inconvenience to me and putting my life at risk because I had to go without my medication until I was able to make the drive to get more from the VA.

    My journey began with a tracking notification that there was a failed attempt at delivery. I got mail that day so I know the postman was able to deliver to my box. I spent an hour online trying to figure out how to get help and finally found a link to a 1-800 number. The automated system refused to register my numerical entries and hung up on me for not providing a response despite the fact that I had in fact entered the requested information. After several attempts over multiple days I finally got through to a point when I could request a call back. I was excited because person meant I wouldn’t need to numerical entries which had been failing to function, alas I was wrong… When I finally was able to get through the call back again required a numerical entry “1” which again refused to register and the call ended again despite my entry of the number “1”.

    Thankfully I got another call back a few minutes later and behold the number worker this time. I spoke with a very kind man (only positive interaction) who unfortunately couldn’t really do much to assist me other than give me a case number and phone number to my local post office which as usual only has limited hours and no support for people who work 3rd shift. The local number has a ridiculous wait time both times I have called and unfortunately I don’t have the option to wait on hold all day as I require sleep. Since I can’t get my medication I had to drive over an hour to pickup my prescription at VA. Thanks for being unreliable as usual USPS please fix your support, please fix your system, if Amazon can reliably deliver me packages in 24 hours why can’t you. Maybe the VA should start using Amazon pharmacy not only would I trust them to get me my packages on time but they have 24-7 support that is reliable and prompt and user friendly.

    Are tracking numbers any good? I've been tracking my packages and the last 4 have said "Out for delivery" and it says it's in Augusta but then I check my mail and nothing. How can that be? If the tracking on USPS says it's out for delivery and it's not then what good is a tracking number? The USPS has really gone so far down hill. It's just terrible. What's the point in tracking numbers USPS? Get it together.

Apparently, the have a tremendous issue sorting mail and the delivery person must not even look at the address when placing the mail into the mailbox. Their process should ensure at a minimum, double checking the address for the correct place of delivery but I don't think they care at all. I continually receive the wrong mail so I'm sure my mail is going somewhere else as well.

    This is our government postal service who is just like our legislature government, they don't care as long as they get their money. And the staff have a total lack of respect for the people when attempting to find a lost package. USPS raises the cost of stamps yet can't deliver mail in an efficient way, why? Can't they slow down a bit to ensure accuracy? Do they need more training? Unacceptable and unprofessional to say the least. I suggest using UPS or FedEx whenever possible.

    I have worked with dozens of USPS, FedEx and UPS pickup drivers over the years. USPS was the only one that consistently told me their organization was behind the times and a mess. Basically it's a miracle anything actually gets delivered. And there's no accountability within the organization and the customer has not recourse at all. USPS loses more packages than any of of the other carriers combined due to it being a government subsidized entity and not private. Private entities would go out of business with such poor management.

    I'm writing this because of my recent missing packages worth about $115. I filled out the USPS form and immediately got an automated response that my inquiry was resolved to their satisfaction. The package stated delivered but of course the package isn't here or in my locker. Now I'm going to spend about $500 worth of time trying to find this package, driving to the USPS office to wait in line for 30 minutes to have them tell me sorry, then I'll hassle the vendor here in Spokane that shipped the items using USPS (an obviously untrustworthy delivery method). I'll try and hold them accountable since they are a private entity but in the end I'm going to have to give up, lose my $115, and reorder the items and specify FedEx/UPS which are actually ACCOUNTABLE non-government entities. This is why government does is worst every time. Abolish the USPS as a government entity and privatize it, the poor performance would stop overnight.

    Never a good experience when dealing with packages and USPS. They honestly shouldn’t be allowed to handle anything other than small letters and daily mail. Just this year alone I’ve had 3 issues with packages. I’m pretty sure by now our packages just get pushed back into a semi trailer for weeks possibly months for some. All three times I’ve had to file for a lost package claim because tracking just stops. One time they literally sent one package across the US and back for no reason. It finally came but the extra mileage took its toll on the contents inside and even being well wrapped it didn’t survive the “Ooopps” from USPS.

    Currently I’m waiting on another delayed delivery, it’s the 29th of November, package was sent from California to Missouri on the 18th. Last physical scan was the 20th and no one has any idea where it could be. My opinion is if they are going to keep handing packages they need a new tracking system. Either gps each package for us and them too or just handle daily mail. UPS and FedEx you guys are awesome.

When I complained what they told me was it was my fault that it was left out there for 3 days not theirs and wouldn't listen at all as I tried to explain that it didn't matter if it was 3 days, 3 months or 1 hour the fact that it was left out in the open for someone to take is beyond baffling to me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I waited a few days and I called customer service again and I was told that the issue had been resolved, case closed. Wrong answer!!!

    The package is still missing, the customer is still waiting on his purchase, so how the hell is the issue resolved, the file should still be active and I want the package delivered. My business is new and the customer is a repeat customer, this is putting my business in a bad light and could cost me a good customer, I expect this file to stay open until the package is delivered. This is damaging to my business and any business that is experiencing this type of service. I can understand why the USPS is a failing business.

The overnight parcel took 3 days, even though I was just a few miles from Boston, and the international parcel (to Australia) took 12 days just to leave the United States, and now it has been 22 days and the parcel still has not arrived at its destination.

    We contacted the terrible service of USPS and they said that the parcel had just arrived, but from now on it is the responsibility of the international post office (honestly thanks good 'cause Australia Post Office does its job fabulously).

Few months ago I ordered a $250 tennis racquet, got an email from USPS saying it was just delivered to my door, but no one was in my cul-de-sac. Then saw the postal carrier enter, asked her if she had a package for me since I just got the confirmed delivery email, she said no. Then a stranger from adjacent neighborhood appeared walking with my package. He handed it to me right in front of the carrier.

    I checked, the address was mine, clearly. I told her she delivered to wrong address. She nothing, just drove away. More and more of sensitive valuable mail/packages are being misdelivered ONLY due to laziness. Complaints are met with deaf ears, they ignore because they can. I even tried to call police and make a complaint, but the USPS gets away with crimes too...they once ran over my mailbox, a neighbor witnessed it, and after letters, voicemails were ignored, I had to replace it myself.

    The system is flawed and these postal workers are stealing stuff out of envelopes and no one is taking accountability! Such a pathetic govt agency. So unreliable. No wonder there are 8k plus negative reviews out there! Sad that these guys are doing what they please!

    Amazon had switched from shipping my desk to USPS shipping my desk, and from that moment, I knew I wouldn't receive my desk. This had happened before. I don't know where the USPS delivers my stuff from Amazon, but it's never to me. I had the day off and waited by the door; I had other Amazon deliveries and UPS deliveries come knock and deliver my package. I waited by the door; I kept checking the site for delivery updates. At 3 pm, it says it was dropped off, "WHERE," I actually said aloud and ran around my apartment complex looking at all the neighbors' doors, as it had supposedly been dropped off at my door!

    I make a report, and 3 days later, I get back a message saying that the driver says he dropped it off! I was infuriated; I have a big open window that is to the walkway, and I see everyone who walks by; never did anyone from USPS come by. Before, I thought it was just bad luck, but now I am buying a camera. They said someone must have stolen it, yet none of my other packages have been stolen. How is it that only my large packages from Amazon seem to go missing and only when USPS delivers them?

    USPS lost a package when it was “Out for Delivery.” I tried to start a claim, but their website was having issues, so I contacted their customer service. It took weeks to hear back and when I was finally able to submit a claim on their website, they told me the deadline to submit a claim of 45 had passed. On their website it says I have up to a year to file a claim, so I appealed the claim and they still denied me my $200 insurance claim. Be careful if you use them to send anything of value.

The Supervisor ** is rude and disrespectful to customers when they ask for their packages. She speaks to customers with a nasty tone as if we don't have a right to want our packages.

    I sent a package of t-shirts I had made for 2 nurses and a doctor that cared for my mother in appreciation of their care. Once I finally received the shirts and was able to take time off to ship them it had been 2 months. Meanwhile I had alerted the hospital I was doing this and they probably thought I wasn't following through. I finally sent out the package with the USPS. Big mistake. If I wanted to have errors and extremely unhelpful customer service I would have used Fed Ex.

    I called customer care and after THREE CALLS was finally able to get connected to an agent whom was very mono-toned, didn't seem to care to help and sounded like they were only capable of reading off of a script. I called to alert them that the package I sent went from the city it's to be delivered in to another state on the opposite coast of the country in hopes of correcting the error and preventing any further issues. The agent had no concern and said I'd have to wait another 3 days before I can file a claim instead of just looking into it and offering an attempt to correct the issue. I tried online and it said the same thing, so I have to wait until my $100 package that I paid an additional $25 delivery fee for and took forever to be able to send out gets lost before I can have the issue "corrected"!? What will that correction be? A refund? That means I'd have to order the shirts AGAIN and have it be FOREVER before I can get them sent out AGAIN?

    Next time I'll use UPS! I called the hospital yesterday after 2 months to tell them I finally got the shirts sent out and now it will probably be FOREVER before they get them! Just inconvenience after inconvenience with the USPS, no real concern for customers and no real effort to resolve and prevent further issues. WHAT A WASTE!

Then spent $40 for bank wire transfer only to receive notice the following day from USPS that check was delivered albeit 2 days late. But for the USPS, delivery is delivery even when late so I am not entitled to any compensation for wire transfer. Oh well, use FedX the next time. P.S.

    I have to repeatedly call back with the same results until someone eventually answers. Whoever answers is usually very rude and puts me on hold for 30-40 minutes supposedly to check on my mail that's missing. When they finally get back to me they always say that they have spoke with the carrier and he said that all my mail has been delivered. I get other people's mail regularly that don't even live on my street and I deliver it to them. Evidently my mail is going somewhere as I am not receiving it. The person on the phone tells me to file a complaint if I'm unhappy and hangs up. There was a time when we had a great postal service but as we know, those days have passed us by.

    I mailed a registered insured letter (cost 20 dollars 88 cents) from the Metuchen Post Office on Central Avenue (Why is this post office in such a run down condition along with the potholed parking lot? Another example of public poverty and private affluence?) on May 29th 2024, confident that the letter and its contents would reach the addressee, my daughter at her college in New Hampshire by June 7th 2024, her graduation day.

    Below is the snail paced journey of this important letter. The letter arrived at the Hanover, NH Post Office on June 14th 2024. By that time my daughter had graduated and returned home. She had notified the Hanover College Post Office that the item had to be returned to the sender. It reached my home in Edison on July 17th 2024– the letter took 16 days to get to New Hampshire and the return journey took 32 days. The wandering time was 48 days.

    Just as I was filing domestic claims with USPS(another hassle) the postman delivered the letter. He had a look of dismay on his face when he looked at the dates on the worn out envelope. The thick white envelope was battered, bruised, bandaged in brown paper. Its contents including several hundred dollar bills and my letter congratulating my daughter on her achievement was secure. However, the harm was done. Timing is important. The Post Office let me down.

    It is the duty of the Post Office to investigate the bottlenecks and delays and take corrective measures. Fortunately, the tracking system provides real time empirical evidence. I know the culprits. I know the bottlenecks.

    Since I was in the grading business for half a century, I shall give the USPS a big fat F. However, in terms of honesty and securing the severely wounded envelope the service deserves A. And the Dartmouth College post office in New Hampshire, which repeatedly checked the USPS affiliates as to the cause of delay, my deep gratitude. Dartmouth College cares. This review is posted to the USPS Inspector General as well as the Congressional Office expecting them to perform their oversight duties. In the meantime, fortunately in our great country we have alternative modes of delivery and service. But I still want to give USPS another chance, I will keep you posted. Dr. Mervyn **, Edison NJ.

From sending packages to the wrong states (not wrong city within the correct state, no, a completely different state altogether) to not even knowing where packages are... Recently had to call about a big item that appeared to be sitting in a warehouse only to find out, after nearly an hour on hold, that they had no idea where the big box was and that the supposed scan for that warehouse was a lie, the package was apparently never there. The wait times on the phone are INSANE! My last call had a wait time of 50mins! And then only to get info. sent to some guy at my local post office who can find his butt with both hands, leading me to have to call back again. Incompetence at its finest...

    I ship with USPS all the time myself, but never, ever ship without fully insuring because their screw-ups are beyond belief sometimes and seems to happen more with big things; which in itself is bizarre. Lose a small box among millions of small boxes is understandable, but lose a big 50lbs. box among millions of small box is just idiotic. What's inexcusable, besides the ridiculous wait times to talk to someone, is making up stuff and putting it into the tracking details for a package... Flat-out lying to the customer, meanwhile you have no clue where their package actually is or why it's there when it shouldn't be.

    Best screw-up I've experienced... Something sent from northern NY state to southern NY state... Went over to Texas, back to Wisconsin, over to New Jersey, down to Florida, up to Massachusetts, over to northern NY (close to origin), back down to NJ and finally to destination in NY City.

    Complete garbage. If they lose a package they think it’s super funny. They keep packages if it’s something they like or want. They have zero respect for the customers and could literally care less. I have friends that work for them and they all said the same thing as to why packages go missing or get broken or delivered to the wrong address. Most places to mail are cheaper, and handle with care usually but for the most part actually take pride in their job.

    Louis DeJoy and Nick Read have size salaries for their absolute failures in the USPS post office. They still haven’t reached out to explain to me how 4 out of 6 priority express packages arrive late, but cost more to ship, guaranteed delivery, but can’t call to report it late until after 6pm with the offices are closed, so really they mean the “next business day” buying them more time to deliver your package. There’s no method of contacting anyone. Just email (1-3 business days to respond). Maybe those Post Masters can master the official job titles they have versus collecting a high salary on their failing ship.

    The worst!! You create an account with USPS and submit change of address. Credit card entered for additional verification that it is you (If moving for domestic violence USPS supports abuser by sending change of address to address leaving). Send some code to have customer login and enter that to prove they submitted move. Genius if I can enter change of address into account then I can enter the code. What is the point. I personally put in change of address from home to PO Box. When that expired had to submit change of address. Now it is a crap shoot mail is in PO Box or returned even though has home address. What the hell is wrong with this organization?? Most mail is sent via email since USPS spends all this time to not deliver what little is left.

    USPS workers will spew excuses as they try to force the public to pity their hard job. How many businesses deal with thousands of people every day? It's because USPS is the worst delivery service. Being paid far more than their pitiful work should allow. USPS should match their pay to their work. UPS and FedEx doesn't show this level of incompetence. Packages destroyed then returned to sender leaving the buyer and seller stranded. Or leaving packages with whomever is at the business or complex when there's an apt, room, suite, or office number provided. They are too lazy to go up the elevators to deliver packages but they get pay so much more than this laziness is worth.

    USPS is the worst company to go through far as delivery literally. I was supposed to receive my package 5/31. Never received it that day. They gave me the runaround and said it would be delivered the next day which I never received it then fast forward it’s 6/3. They’re finally saying I’ll receive my package and it’s ready for pickup. When I go to pick it up they’re claiming they don’t have it and it’s on the truck for delivery which makes absolutely no sense to me. Why send me a notification I can pick up my package but it’s nowhere to be find then on top of that they delivered my package to the wrong address and area.

    They are absolutely horrible, worst company. I will never support them ever again. This wouldn’t be such a inconvenience to me if they would do their job right. Then far as my package being delayed that was their fault as well. Why would you move the package from the designated area and take it into a whole different state then bring it back like I really don’t understand their logic of handling business.

    First, my therapist has been striving for years to convince me to take a more positive view on things, so I'm going to try. My review is more from how the USPS affects my job rather than my home. I learned long ago to avoid allowing the USPS to affect my home in any way possible. My bills are paid online and I order through Amazon. It's better that way.

    My job though, wow. We get checks from customers three months late. Three months. On the upside (positivity!) I'm always happy when I finally receive a check that I've been waiting on for three months. Customers send cards for Christmas. We get them in February. Christmas cards always make us happy though. Even in February.

    My biggest one, all thanks to the glorious USPS, I made a new friend! They've put another business's mail in my box so often, I developed a nice friendship with the lady that always has to come collect the checks that are meant for her business. She's very nice. Thanks USPS for the unexpected surprises, put of season holiday cheer, and expanding my circle of friends. Please do better.

    Our local post office in Clear Spring Maryland 21722 is a nightmare. They are lazy, arrogant and the two full-time women that are always there have the worst attitude. They do not deliver mail inside the town proper but will deliver to the outside the town limits. Which forces everyone to use a PO Box of which they don't have enough of. With the amount of elderly who live here it's a huge inconvenience. But yet I see Mail trucks flying down my street daily not abiding by the 25 mph speed limit. They literally in the multiple times I have been in to drop off packages for my customers find some type of problem forcing me to not get the service I need. The absolute worst PO ever.

    3 days late on priority to Memphis, TN. Tracking shows arrived at regional center and expected to deliver next day. Now several days later and they simply keep updating tracking "on way to next destination" by adding one to the date, 3 times now. USPS customer service number has me egregiously aggravated because I cannot get to a person and ask why or if issues in Memphis (weather issue is false, hardly a drizzle). I opened support ticket, but terrible customer service. If this were for my health, I'd be gone right now, a postal issue I won't forget.

    This is why need to remove the post office bureaucracy and replace with a private service(s) *we have a choice in* with our purchasing decisions. Libertarians are onto this across the board and this year need to move the USPS to the top of the list, with all the rest of the $trillions in bureaucratic waste, bloat, inefficiencies and corruption every year.

    I opted for the 3-5 days International express delivery service to send a month's supply of disposable contacts to my cousin. However, it's been nearly 9 days, and the package is still stuck in Hague Customs. Trying to seek assistance over the phone was a nightmare. The answering service was atrocious, with truncated options that led to nowhere. After struggling for 30 minutes, I finally connected with someone who only seemed interested in selling stamps. Despite being promised a transfer to International tracking, I found myself back at the main menu. Seeking help from the local post office proved futile as they informed me that even with the more expensive guaranteed service, there's no actual guarantee of delivery. No refunds and no solutions were offered.

    Both the staff and manager were indifferent, needing to consult others to answer my queries. Their advice? Read the fine print on the receipt. To add insult to injury, they provided me with a USPS Consumer Affairs number, which turned out to be equally unhelpful. The voicemail was full, no one answered, and leaving a message was impossible. This experience has left me deeply dissatisfied with USPS express service. It's a perfect example of the worst customer service imaginable.

I said "should" like as in it was supposed to be delivered by Saturday at 6 pm or it WILL be delivered by 6 pm. They would only say it "should". Now I have a 9 hour drive to cut new checks and drive them up. DO NOT USE USPS IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT STUFF DELIVERED.
