    I'm giving USPS at least two stars because I feel that their team tried hard to resolve my issue. While USPS is necessary for domestic deliveries and shipments, I highly recommend using other services for international shipments. I believe you may be you'll have more of a guarantee with FedEx and possibly other services. I have used USPS many times in the past and had little problems, this last experience was hard to let go. I shipped an iPhone to my girlfriend in the Philippines costing over $1000, and it wound up missing and is still missing.

    I do want to make something clear that it could have gotten stolen in transit over seas, meaning that it could be out of the hands of USPS, but to keep in mind that shipping by FedEx once it arrives to the Philippines it is still controlled by FedEx where USPS has no more control after it leaves US borders. Please consider the risks. Save yourself the heartache.

    I’ve ordered from Etsy twice in the past week, both orders were confirmed, shipping labels made and tracked along the way. BOTH orders were ‘delivered’ to my mailbox but never actually arrived. USPS is the worst shipping company I’ve used in a while. This is nothing on Etsy, as the small business owners sent proof of orders/shipping labels. Please do not use them as your packages may contain more valuable things you will not receive. I have contacted Customer Support and they were no help at all.

    You owe me $10 in late fees. I sent my bills out on July 2nd and normally they get to the places in a timely manner. But 16 days? I even sent the payment for my late paid bill almost right after I got it. You raise your prices and you get worse!!!! Last month I sent a priority package to someone 2 hours away in the same state. You sent it to Houston TX!!!! And NOT the first time either. I was waiting on a package that you sent to AZ and then said it was undeliverable. The address was correct too. And I was told I couldn't talk to you about it. The sender had to. IT'S MY MAIL. I CAN CALL IF I WANT TO!!!!

    Get your ** together or drop your prices!!!! You get bailed out by the government and instead of paying your bills you buy 10,000 electric cars?!!! You'll be losing what little business I am giving you. I have already started using other carriers for my packages and now the bills will all be paid on line. I can't even trust you to get my mail where it needs to be on time. When it starts costing me late fees I'M DONE!!!!

    I had the package sent overnight with USPS. The next day it was delivered but to the wrong address/room. I had to call customer service to locate the package. Well, customer service does not work at USPS. They have an automatic voice to transfer the customer and then hang up. It's not the first time when USPS providing 1-star customer service and has delivery issues.

    Yesterday, a delivery driver showed up while my dog was outside on a leash and my husband was standing in the doorway. The driver half way got out of his truck and then immediately got back in is truck before my husband could even step outside. We then get an update that the package is available for pick up at the post office. So Today, I got to the post office it was supposed to be delivered at only to be told they don't know where the package is, but it must be at the other office and gives me a phone number to call. Phone number just rings and rings and rings and then hangs up on you. So I drive over to the other post office for the rep to tell me that the delivery driver attempted to deliver and I said, "No that's a lie. I was standing right there." For the rep to then pop an attitude and go 'WELL, if a dog is there they won't deliver (which is a lie).' And then said 'I wasn't there so I don't know.' I was and I'm telling you what happened.

    They said that it was mislabeled and that it would be redelivered today. I then asked why the tracking information would tell me it's here for pick up, and he then said that they would go back and check. Man never returns, instead about 5 mins later another man walks up without introducing himself or who he was says that it was mislabeled and would be redelivered today and told me to leave. This is completely unacceptable and I completely wasted my time trying to hunt down this package because people cannot do their jobs and getting mad when they are called out for it. USPS has been useless for a while, but they are just completely pathetic now and a waste of time. Not helpful, unfriendly, defensive, rude. 10/10 don't recommend. Just use Fedex or Ups.

    Don't know about everyone else's shipping experience with USPS, but mine was the worst I've ever had. My friend used them, on the 20th May this year, to send me a package, containing Disneyland merchandise, from the US to Singapore. According to their tracking system in the first five days, they only created its label and it was transiting to the "next facility", without stating what this place exactly was. Then, the next update came 11 DAYS later on 3rd June which, to my horror, said the package had not even reached their customs facility! And again, no update for the FOLLOWING FOUR DAYS.

    I had to call USPS's service hotline, on the 8th, to ask where my package exactly was and their operator said they, unfortunately, sent it back to my friend as it couldn't be cleared for shipping. Then on the following day, We got UPS to ship our package instead since we didn't want to risk going through the same horrible experience with USPS. Fortunately, UPS cleared it without any issues and took only six days to deliver the package to me.

    Even now, we still don't know why USPS couldn't clear the package, when UPS easily could. But I can only think it's because they had too many other packages to ship ours. So, definitely don't use USPS for international shipments (especially urgent ones) since they might also make you wait for weeks and end up not delivering it at all.

    When the United States Post Office became the United States Postal Service, it was the beginning of the end of a good, dependable, affordable delivery service. This (dis)organization can't compete with the likes of UPS, FedEx, and Amazon when it comes to package delivery, and their first class mail delivery is about is pitiful. Why does it take a first class piece of mail 6 business days to get from Point A to Point B, less than 5 miles away in the same city. If this sort of delivery was an occasional thing, it could be excused, but it's now the norm. I foolishly sent a one page form to a niece 11 miles away within the same county on May 26, 2022 and here it is June 9, 2022 and she still hasn't received it. Even more foolishly, I spent almost $11.00 for a tracking number, and get tracking info that it's running late but is on its way to the next facility. Doesn't even say where this or that or the next facility is.

    "Customer" service? Oh, please! It's not CUSTOMER service, it's PROVIDER service, meaning communication between the customer and the provider/retailer is geared to their convenience, not the customer's. "We may or may not get back to you when and if we feel like it." Looking for good customer service? Try finding it in a mid 20th Century museum, 'cause it doesn't exist any more. And, BTW, who is the real world charges more for less service and expects to win friends and influence people? The USPS is run by a bunch of nitwits.

    On May 3, 2022, I sent a package to China. The only option is Priority Mail Express International. The cost is $76.20, and it supposes to be 3-5 days. It takes USPS 5 days to send to Chicago Airport and arrives on May 8. After three days of no activities. I called on May 11 to check the status. The USPS Rep informs me this status is normal, and she tells me to be patient. She will open a ticket to escalate my request. It is my mistake not to ask her for a case number. I waited for a week. There is no tracking movement. I called again on May 19; the USPS Rep informed me that she did not see an escalation case open for my package. This agent is kind enough to help me open a ticket and provide me with the ticket number. She did tell me to check back in 12 days. She also said that I could request a refund for the postage since the USPS did not deliver my package to the shipper in a timely manner.

    After the May 19 call, the package did leave the US for China. The tracking shows arrived on May 22. On June 2, I called USPS again to inquire about my package. This time the USPS Rep is not friendly at all. She said that the problem is not USPS. It is China's hold-up. I asked her why it takes five (5) days to get to the shipper in Chicago Airport since the service I paid for is 3-5 days. It should arrive at the shipper within three (3) days instead of five (5) days. She insists this is not a USPS issue. Also, she said no refunds for the postage since COVID-19 happened. The USPS is so poor that they need to cheat to get funds, and it is no different from a thief. As of today, my package is not yet delivered.

    I mailed a small package to South Africa, and paid the maximum possible amount for the express mailing including insurance. I was told the package would reach my recipient in 3-5 days. I am now on day 31 and still waiting. From date of mailing, the package took 12 days to actually get into a plane leaving the US. After that, there was silence: My package just disappeared, with no updates in the tracking information. I have called USPS several times to try and get a sense of what is actually happening, and each time they provide unhelpful and incomplete information. They have just told me that their international team is conducting research. So I will just wait and wonder while they conduct their indefinite review.

    I have even inquired about a partial refund given that the package is over 25 days delayed (a week's delay would be reasonable). The kicker is that they have expressly told me that they do not offer refunds for excessive delays. So I can wait 60, 90 days or longer, and not get any credit for the inconvenience while using their "premium" service. So for anyone considering mailing a package, to South Africa, using any USPS, please be wary. If you can, go with more expensive courier services including Fedex, UPS or DHL: Trust me, you do not want the stress of dealing with USPS.

    When they get the packages, it is because the label is illegible, usually wet or torn, so they can determine where to send the contents. The documents have my address in AZ, and my dad's address in TX, and his mail is forwarded to me. No one can tell me where my package is and what is going on. I need help.

    Businesses should stop using USPS altogether and simply stick with UPS or FedEx. You'd think companies would get tired (and broke!) from constantly having to give refunds for all the packages the lazy, fat hippos at USPS either lose, misplace, steal, or return to the post office if it's still on the truck at the end of the day and they're too lazy to bother delivering it the next day, as their fat cow ** are paid a nice salary to do. They just mark a package "available for pickup" with no consideration that someone can be without a car, disabled, or afraid to venture into the nasty crime-prone areas the post office tends to be located. Fat ** want that big ol' fedgoob salary from usps but don't want to earn it. I guess companies that ship packages want to go broke from refunds.

    Oh, and YOU CAN'T EVEN EMAIL USPS anymore. A gazillion tries and it's always "there was a problem submitting your request". And forget about calling them. Even if you eventually get a live person it'll just be lazy mumbling without offering a solution, and that's if you don't lose patience listening to the half-hour recording about the fake ** "virus" which to them is an excuse to goof off.

A USPS employee either stole this package, or it's still sitting somewhere in a sort facility. Crazy to pay over 40$ for shipping a package and it can't make it to its destination because of the incompetence of the USPS. So much for "Priority Mail."

    I spent two weeks making a care package for someone special just for USPS deliver to the wrong address and when I did the claim they say it was delivered to the right address but when I called the hotline it say that the address did not match to the address it was supposed to go so I filed a second claim and they it was not a good enough evidence to get my refund back and I don’t know how it was not. I called to speak with someone and they said they wanted receipts of what I had purchased in the care package but that was not the explanation they had put in the letter until after the third claim which at that point it was too late. I called the number that deals with the final claims over 20 times and no one answered. I left voicemails still gotten nothing back. Never received the refund, the person I made the care package for never received it and I put a lot of money and time into it. Worst experience ever.

    I'm not sure the mail carrier is qualified to deliver mail. You need to be able to read and understand addresses. For example, checking my mail and there is a bundle with a rubber band, I'm like uh oh those darn bills. Nope! Wasn't even my mail! Was for the building I'm in but for different apartments. Four other apartments mail. One was a small package. The other was an IRS letter. Even a neighbor from a different building brought me my mail (IRS letter). I have complained several times and nothing gets done. It should be a federal offense for mail carriers to constantly deliver wrong mail to others. I'm not getting paid to give others their mail because someone chose a profession that requires them to be able to read.

On the 09 of the evening the tracking showed, the check was delivered. Horrible. It was already stopped because the USPS reputedly said the info that was lost.

    I need to have my passport updated for an upcoming international trip. When I went to my local post office on January 27, I told the individual it was time sensitive and wanted to pay for expedited shipping, even wrote on the outside of the package "expedite" in black sharpie. Apparently he didn't understand that request. I live in Colorado and the national passport department is in Philadelphia. My package finally arrived to the Philadelphia USPS distribution center on February 3. For who knows what reason, those people sent it to the Denver USPS distribution Center, in which it arrived there on February 7. Mind you, what I had ended up paying for is priority mailing and an up charge to the Passport Department to expedite the processing of my passport. Had the Passport Department received my package in a timely manner, I would have met the time requirement for their expedited processing.

    When I noticed my package was for whatever reason back in Denver, I called the unhelpful USPS customer service 800 number. The woman put in a customer service request ticket for me and said someone would get back with me by the next day. NEVER happened. I went back to my local post office to ask if there was a way to get my package back since it was in Denver. After waiting in line for 45 minutes, the woman at the counter told me I could go online and submit a request to intercept my package and have it returned to me. I went home, submitted the request online and paid an extra $15 for this service. Check the status of my package for the next two days and on February 9 see that my package is now back in Philadelphia at the distribution center.

    Call the customer service number again and speak to two different women, the second allegedly a manager. Explained to her that this is a time sensitive package and that because of their failure to deliver my package in a timely manner, I need my package returned to me so I can utilize the local passport agency when my trip is within 5 days of departure. The manager told me she needs to have a "good reason" for me to request my package to be returned. How about it's my property and I paid extra money to have it returned to me. Finally get an email from another manager today, February 14, acknowledging the service ticket that was put in on February 7. They tell me my package is going to be picked up by an individual from the Passport Department today and explaining the timeline for the Passport Department to process passport requests.

    I immediately email the manager back telling them I do not want my package picked up and called the manager at the number they provided and requested that I be called back as soon as possible. Still have not received a response from Ciju Chacko. Now on my tracking it says the package has been "successfully" delivered and picked up by an individual. So nice that it only took you 2.5 weeks to deliver a priority mail and you've completely screwed me with my passport update for my travels coming up in a month. USPS is HORRIBLE!! Garbage service. So much incompetence. Will never use their service again. Thank God FedEx and other mail delivery services exist.

    Northeastern Ohio USPS delivery is horrendous! Their tracking, which is the only thing that works, allows me to follow the stupidity of their delivery attempts. I’m amazed at my package being shipped back and forth between post offices that are in the wrong direction to me. Example: My post office is Bolivar Ohio, package from Kansas goes to Warrendale, Pa. then to Akron, Ohio, then to Alliance, Ohio, back to Akron then to Cleveland then back to Akron then to Canton then back to Akron. This is not a one time occurrence. Happens all the time. Often packages will end up going through my post office to another post office where I have had them hold the package for me to pickup. The level of incompetence is unbelievable. Increased handling often causes damage or losing the package. I only write this in hopes that a postal service representative, management, will read. All you vendors should opt to use FedEx, UPS or some other delivery systems.

    In the past USPS has lost our Priority Mail packages. USPS representatives told us there is no delivery guarantee for Priority Mail--that if we need a guaranteed delivery, we must use Priority Mail EXPRESS. So when we had to mail out some critical legal documents for an upcoming out-of-state court case, we sent them Priority Mail Express (PME). We even spoke with the supervisor of our local post office about how confident he was the documents would get to their destination on time. He assured us PME is a much more rigorous delivery option and offers both accurate tracking info and guarantees delivery by a certain time.

    The legal documents are now late, tracking has never been updated, and the court case is in a few hours. Today, the same USPS supervisor who assured us our documents would arrive on time merely said, "Sorry," when he heard they haven't arrived. To make matters worse, USPS is making it hard to process our claim about failed delivery because, according to them, the package COULD still be delivered. USPS should be held legally liable when critical documents are lost or arrive late. Don't offer PME if you can't actually guarantee delivery. But USPS holds a government-sanctioned monopoly on delivery to certain addresses, otherwise we'd have gone with another delivery company that has much better overnight delivery stats. Don't believe the up-selling rhetoric about the PSE delivery guarantee with USPS.

    Dealing with USPS claims department has been a nightmare. I am an online seller that spends thousands of dollars a month on shipping my products. Two products that I sent via USPS Priority Mail never received a delivered scan, and both customers inquired about receiving a refund for these products. I submitted a claim for both packages, which included all the information they required. Marketplace name, seller name, purchaser name, amount paid, item name, date of transaction, and payment status = refunded (due to the item never being delivered). USPS said that it approved it on the first claim, and allegedly a check was sent to my address. I never received the check.

    I inquire about the check, and they tell me that I have to mail them a request to re-issue the check. Are you kidding me? So all communication can be done online minus a request for my check?!? I had to pay $8.00 postage to send the letter, which defeats the purpose of getting any money paid on a claim if you also have to pay the postage to get responses. Weeks later, they responded that upon review, the claim was reversed and was denied. Wait...what? USPS lost the package, therefore, it was never delivered. I paid for Priority Mail and sent them a receipt that shows the customer's name and address, item, the amount paid, date, and everything else they asked for, which match the same address that the package was going to, and then all of a sudden it was denied? The best part is that they sent the denial by mail, which amazingly got delivered, but the first check they supposedly sent never got delivered. I appealed online, and I am still waiting for the check to be re-issued.

    In the second package, the claim was accepted, and again they supposedly sent a check that never arrived. Mind you, the address on file is USPS verified, and all their denials and everything else but the checks arrive. I had to send another letter of $8.00 waisted again so they could re-issue the check. This has been a nightmare, and it seems they are avoiding being in compliance with their policy. I am very much thinking of taking them to small claims court to be responsible for taking care of their loyal customers and following their own policy regarding USPS Priority Mail lost packages.

I don’t even know how it happens it looks like it was throw down 100 flights of stairs and there are puncture holes in the box. It seriously looks like someone stuck their thumb in it. I’m extremely disappointed, not only was it really late MY ISSUE IS THE BOX AND HOW IT WAS HANDLED.

    If I would’ve known I was going to receive my package in these conditions I would’ve driven across the country to get it myself. Didn’t know it was so hard to move a box around without being absolutely mental about it. Keep up the horrible work thanks so much for what you do, destroying my things, I will not ever be using USPS again for my items. And sadly this is not my first horrible experience with this company so I felt I should let others know that this point. And clearly if you cannot do this job right you are not capable of doing work so go roll over. RIP!!!

    Updated on 10/01/2021: I got denied my request for mail delivery to my home after I submitted a doctor's notes they requested but was over two weeks later was told by the person (supervisor - Juan) who failed to tell me I needed a form to fill out has declined to assist me in continuing my mail delivery to home. So I went ahead to fill out the form and submitted, via email, was told by the local Henderson staff's other supervisor to email him and when I did, I never heard from him but to file a complaint; and then today I got an email disapproving my request after all. This is how they treat their disable military veterans because maybe they didn't serve or don't understand their veterans but only care for themselves. They're either underpaid, overworked, or understaffed. What a bad post office staffs. They don't care for their customers and if you check their reviews online, there are some that are not good.

    Original: Case #**. I last reported this Tues, Sept 28, 2021 and spoke to a rep at the US Postal. I need to know what's going on with my mail to my home as I submitted a doctor's letter directly to Juan, via email, as he said he was okay to take it and it has been happening since Aug 31, 2021; then on till Sep 25, 2021 I emailed back to Juan ** and asked him what happened to my mail that was misdelivered to my door so anyone can steal my mail. Him and I had some disagreement and he was rude with me after I sent him the photo and all. Then he declines to continue mail to my home till I can get the mailbox installed when HOA has an issue of doing this for me. I have not gotten my mail in two days and I can't keep walking up there to the mailroom daily with my medical condition.

    I will be getting my scooter in a few weeks then I will take off the request mail delivery to my home. I tried to get a hold of a Scott ** with a form to fill out that Juan ** NEVER told me to do from the beginning before all this mess happened. I'm a retired disabled military veteran and is this how the USPS staff treats their veteran after sacrificing our freedom for you?

    I had a package sent to my sister from Utah to Ohio on Sep. 04th, 2021. I provided all sender and receiver's addresses. However, the local USPS employee somehow didn't apply address details on the shipping label because it had been coding as she said. After 10 days, I found the package hadn't been delivered. The local manager told me that the package didn't have the sender and receiver's addresses, so they couldn't deliver it. Then, I provided all address details again for him to update. I hope it would be delivered, but nothing changed. I called usps customer service, they said my package was at recover mail center, but no sender's address so they couldn't returned it. I put a mail recovery center search request with all addressee details one more time, and they called me next day and told me that your package was at Atlanta Recovery Mail Center for returning to sender but not sender's address again. WTH...

    I went to claim the missing package on usps website, it stated that your package is processing for delivery inquiry, and couldn't complete my claim. I don't know what is going on with my package. Usps system always shows your package in transit for a week. Does anyone know what I have to do? It is so so so... frustrated about the usps service.

    I ship a lot and experienced all the worst only - lost packages, 1 out of 3 broken and a lot of other fun things. But the best part is their insurance... Actually, by the law, they don't have the right to claim that their mail is insured as they don't pay it. In fact, their rate of payment is approximately 1 out of 10 broken items paid. My experience was super negative - I had 10 parcels' contents broken (in spite of the fact they were packed very well and even double-boxed) and my insurance claims were all declined. Then finally they approved one but not for 100 dollars, but for 19.99!!! I still wonder where that amount came from...

    One of the latest amazing things was that they managed to break... I still don't believe it... Silverplate teapot!!!! Imagine, they manage even to break metal!!! And nobody is protected and can do nothing. They ignore your complaints, there is no way to prove your rights or receive compensation. For insurance, they ask you to present the box to the postal office and even if you do so, they will decline it finding a million reasons, like there is no damage to the box or just stating that you put a damaged item in the box already (yes, they stated so once even though I attached the picture of the teapot with no damage how it was before shipping). My advice is... Better pay more for shipping, but sleep strong knowing that your parcel is not in the hands of vandals!

    USPS is a great service when it works. I sell on Ebay, and I had a product go missing. Ebay is partnered with USPS, which seems to work out well, i.e, until it doesn't. Anyways, I had a shipment fully insured with a signature required going from Phoenix (Buckeye), Arizona to Palm Springs, California. It was last scanned into the system in the Buckeye facility, and then, there's no more information available as a customer for USPS. I filed an insurance claim, and it was initially rejected because USPS permits both senders and recipients to file insurance claims. I made sure that the buyer's money was refunded, and they released the claim. Then, I filed another claim. I was contacted by an insurance adjuster for USPS and treated like a criminal. I have receipts for everything I purchased, and the items were photographed prior to shipment.

    USPS still will not issue a payment, and God knows what's happening in their facilities. I do care about the money, and I feel violated that I was stolen from. More concerning is now I can't trust USPS, and this seems like a basic service that should be offered in every nation. Usually, USPS is good, but I will definitely think twice before using them again. It's really sad, and it's clearly a disgruntled employee or group of employees that have taken advantage of the pandemic. I am sure that I am not the only one who has lost items from this facility, and it would have been much better to be treated fairly and to have some justice in regards to the theft.

    I manage a developing HOA community in south Fort Worth. Our community is serviced by the Benbrook Post Office (76126). We have CBU's installed in the community but owners cannot get mail because the CBU's are missing the master lock aka arrow locks. We have been to the Benbrook post office every single week to obtain a status update but they give us the same answer every time "there is only one (1) person that services the entire DFW metroplex and we have to wait our turn". They will not provide a work order number, confirm that the work order is in the system, let us know where we are in the queue, or how many are waiting in the queue.

    After 6 months of weekly check-ins they now suggested that we file a report with Consumer Affairs. I have talked with several managers (as that station keeps revolving managers), district managers, and a supervisor to no avail. Since we are in development this problem has plagued us since the beginning and sadly we have several more phases to go. We would like to ensure our current and future residents are able to get their mail and packages instead of having to travel to the post office.

Went to my post office and she scanned it and only produced a receipt!!,, THEN the postal employee told me to step aside and APOLOGIZED to people waiting behind me (2 minutes) and ignored me!! I asked for my package back and left very upset with my heart beating way fast due to being so upset,,!! What!

    Went home and went on the usps website to file for a refund,,, My sister will NOT be getting her birthday present via usps click & ship,, ALSO there is no discount for using clicknship,,, It is the same price as going to the post office!!

    I have had NUMEROUS experiences of ALLEGEDLY "lost" mail through the years even sending it CERTIFIED through the US Postal "Service". Probably the MOST flagrant was several years ago when I submitted a criminal complaint to the FBI here in Washington DC where I live about MAIL THEFT and FORGERY CASHING of my Social Security Disability check and it was "LOST" according to USPS AT THE DELIVERY FACILITY WITHOUT A TRACE even though there was a certified tracking number for it.

    The LATEST incident was certified mailing to the DC Department of Health about a complaint of oral surgery malpractice by a local hospital (which I will ALSO post about) on June 1. I followed the tracking record of it and it showed that after being sent to the sorting and delivery facility here in DC the very next day, it was THEN SENT OUT TO a MARYLAND facility!! It does NOT make sense WHY mail sent from WITHIN DC TO an address IN DC would have to be RErouted OUT of the District!! ESPECIALLY SINCE the intended destination was JUST AROUND THE CORNER and slightly up the street from the post office I was mailing it at!!

    I also saw in the following weeks that there was an INexplicable delay of the package, being recorded as merely "in transit". It took TWO WEEKS for it to (ALLEGEDLY) arrive at the intended address of the Department of Health, not being delivered until mid-month. I decided to go to the DOH on July 1 to see IF they had indeed gotten it because the tracking record showed it had not just been delivered but emphasized "DELIVERY TO THE FRONT DESK/RECEPTION?MAIL ROOM". I thought this SUSPICIOUS since I had NEVER seen a delivery recorded like THAT before and thought MAYBE I was being fooled with. I spoke to an administrator of the DOH and she told me they had NOT received it and she DIDN'T KNOW what had happened to it, but would check with their mail room to see if there was a record of it; which I am STILL WAITING to hear from her about.

    I LOST five bucks on a USELESS certified mailing that I could have delivered there MYSELF, which I DID. I contacted the USPS Consumer "Advocate" office and the response was the local mailing facility for my area would be contacting me. A supervisor named "Carl **" at the "delivery annex" sent me an email that he would be investigating the cause of the delayed delivery AND the apparent LOSS of the packet. He NEVER contacted me subsequently about it despite my efforts to contact him.

    I then submitted a complaint to the Inspector-General's Office to investigate for determination of whether there was mail theft and THAT simply referred me BACK to the local postal office!! There is NO WAY to contact the Postmaster-General himself about this because he apparently DOESN'T want to be bothered with complaints about his Department, which is probably WHY it sucks so much!! I then went myself back to it and obtained a copy of the "signature" scrawl that someone ALLEGEDLY signed for receiving it. I CAN'T tell whether it's genuine OR not and USPS is USELESS with attempting to resolve the issue since it keeps referring me BACK to the origin of the problem!!

    Today is my daughter's birthday. She hasn't been feeling well because of digestive problem. To comfort her I spent almost a week to prepare several kinds of her favorite food. The package was shipped using one day air express mail with dry ice, expected to be delivered today by 6PM, and I specifically used Perishable tag on the shipping box just try to avoid any shipping delay and keep the food fresh. Today I have been checking the tracking information, and waiting for the exciting moment. Unfortunately, around 3:15pm there is an update saying the package is ready for pick up at local post office without making any attempt delivery.

    My daughter couldn't go out to pick up, so her boyfriend went to pick up with my daughter's ID. The local USPS office did not allow to pick up without seeing herself with the ID....Finally, the package was not released even when the local office closed for the day and they said they will deliver the package tomorrow. The dry ice inside the package was prepared only for one day. Tomorrow even the package delivered, the food cannot be eaten, and her birthday was missed.

    I have had delivery issues with the USPS 3 times in the last 6 months. Once the package was too large for the apartment sized box, so rather than put on my patio, they just took it back to the post office. The only way that I knew to contact them was that the shipper was a family member. Filed a claim to locate package. I had to call and follow up to find out where it was.

    More recently, a shipper sent my custom contact lenses to the wrong address. I contacted USPS PRIOR to delivery (same day) to request that the package be held at the USPS customer center for pick up. Package was delivered to the incorrect address 3 hours later. So either customer service did not contact the driver, or the driver disregarded the request. So now I get to go another six weeks without good eyesight while the shipper replaces the order. This could have been avoided if my customer service requested had been fulfilled.

    It is beyond all understanding how an entity that blatantly disregards customers and is beyond incompetent is allowed to continue to exist. The USPS is not a SERVICE organization despite the word service being in their name. Perhaps Amazon should take over the USPS. What I do know is that the USPS needs to done away with and the employees should have to find jobs where they actually have to work and take care of customers.

Three, I have now shipped a package to an out of state address, and while tracking shows it quickly reached the destination city, it has been held at the local post office there for four days without attempted delivery, with tracking site claiming "This is at the customer request", which is a lie. Various online complaints which I have read state that this "customer request" lie is commonly used by the post office as generic cover up for failure to deliver.

Our driver refuses to stop and pick up our packages even when we have our confirmations printed out. After months of calling USPS and them sending me on wild goose chases I finally got through to the right contact (shout out to Christina!) After Christina spoke with this driver's supervisor about her behavior, the driver barged into our small business. In front of customers she aggressively berated us for "telling on her" threw out numerous curse words. When we explained that she's not doing her job she got so infuriated we were genuinely concerned she would get physical. Eventually she left SLAMMING the door on her way out.

    This is COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL, UNACCEPTABLE and downright DANGEROUS. STAY AWAY FROM USPS FOR YOUR BUSINESS.

    Any summarized rating above a “1” is bogus! I shipped two large flat rate boxes of tractor parts. One arrived in good shape, the other broken open with one part missing. I replacement the part and filed an insurance claim. First denial was “it looks like you purchased the insurance after the postage”. On my first appeal I asked how this could be since $50 of coverage is included in the flat rate postage? No answer except that the appeal was denied because “the proof of value is insufficient”. My second appeal included the question “how can a bill from the company supplying the part and a canceled check for the amount plus shipping be insufficient?” I received no response other than a third and “final” denial via E-Mail with a promised follow up letter I never received. I tried to find a phone number for the claims office to no avail. It seems no one at USPS wants to speak with their customers, including my local office who has an unlisted number.

    I contacted my Congressman’s Office who spoke with their “USPS Liaison” whom told them after final appeal nothing can be done. I next filed a complaint with the Inspector General. They referred me to Customer Service who doesn’t want to talk with you either but I found a number for the St Paul Office. They did their best to help me but said I was no longer in their district and gave me the Milwaukee Office number. This individual was NOT happy to hear from me and reported nothing can be done after the final appeal.

    I then learned from my congressman’s office the Milwaukee Contact was the same person who is their liaison. The St Paul Office then gave me a number for the Consumer Advocate in Washington DC. VERY helpful, service minded and accountable and immediately identified the issue as a couple of my uploaded documents had not been retained on their server! This is almost four months after this started. She approved payment of the claim.

    I will never ship anything with USPS again. No one is accountable to the customer who funds their operation. I called the Milwaukee District manager back who had E-Mailed me that my issue had been resolved to ask why she didn’t refer my congressional office or me to the Consumer Advocate originally. She refused to answer. I filed a complaint against her with a promise of follow up. Guess what? No follow up occurred. For those of you who do use USPS shipping you will eventually be crapped on.

And then I ordered stamps through the website. They were delivered in May. And because I had surgery coming up in June and everything else on my plate, I didn’t realize my stamps were literally handed to another tenant. So I’m assuming it was to the other tenant who is taking upon herself to hold my mail or to give it to me after. Because where I found the bulk envelope was right above her floor, and it fell down on the first floor where I am. And I have pictures of everything. I have documentation of everything, of all this happening. And the tracking notes also state they were hand delivered to an individual. The Dover Post Office refuses, still, to this day, July 13th, to take responsibility. They believed the delivery person, he said he shoved it in my mailbox. My mailbox is very small. The envelope is a bulk envelope. It was not shoved in my mailbox, it was literally handed to another tenant. And she got away with committing a federal offense, which I am pursuing.

Second 70% of packages I have been ordering from eBay are being shipped priority with this company and never gets to me on time or never gets to me at all. Plants have a limited life span in a box and in transit. They will not survive in transit without water or heat and freezing weather for 2 weeks being left in the truck. Post master generals do not care whether or not the package is safe as long as it gets to the destination even if the box is all ripped or smashed. They just re-tape it up.

I have HD video cameras that show my entire property in all directions. NO USPS delivery vehicle attempted to deliver any package. They didn't attempt to deliver the next day or the day after. So on day 3, I went to the PO myself and questioned what happened. I was told the station supervisor would look into it. Unfortunately, after a week, I get an apologetic call. He was just made aware of the case I filed. He claims to have questioned the delivery driver but the person couldn't remember the incident. The only thing I can conclude is the item grew legs and walked away. Very sketchy and shady thing going on here. Nothing adds up. They have you running in circles with very nebulous information at best.

    Ignore ALL stars above a 1! This has been and will always be a terrible service to use to ship ANYTHING. Too bad EBAY and other places don't offer an alternative choice to have items sent to you. Every package is always late! A package sent not even 100 miles away takes 3-4 days to get. Do yourself and your customers a service and DON'T use USPS Shipping. Very sad even when out of the country packages can get to the USA in 5 or less days then it takes another 2 weeks to get to the destination. Just a sad service.

    I shipped a package via USPS Priority Mail Express 2 day service. My package did not make it there until after 5 days, and even when it arrived at their facility they did not deliver it to the recipient, and left the package at their office and did not notify anyone. The employees at the post office are not accountable for their ineptitude. They don't have the incentive to deliver any packages on time or compensate the consumers with any loss or damages. Do not use them for any time sensitive packages - period.

    This is a heads up to remind everyone to insure everything sent through USPS. Due to pandemic I was unable to visit my elderly father in February 2021 who lives in a different state but found a semi rare coin that I paid $75 for in an antique store. I mailed this coin taped inside of greeting card to my elderly father By handing the card directly to the attendant at the Tequesta Florida post office asking her to check my postage which was fine. When the card arrived at my father's home in South Carolina there was a slit in the side of the envelope and the coin had been removed. I realize I should have insured this package, but I thought “what could go wrong” if I hand delivered to the post office and my father has a locked mailbox. Just a warning…

Today's "out for delivery" late arrival, was not delivered due to an "address verification". I checked the shipping label and there was absolutely no discrepancy in the address at all. I.... am....

Why send it to NY when it originated and is to be delivered in the Midwest? If it is to to the location of the distribution centers, move them, get rid to them or one up with a better solution. No wonder you run out of money. It's the customers and the trustworthy people who are paid pennies to deliver it to your door who suffer. But USPS still asks government for more money?

    There’s a branch of Winter Park, FL that’s been doing unprofessional things for more than five years to customers. People complained and nothing was done. There are strongholds of indirect theft, hindrance, confusion and attempted control. I ordered a pricey item and it took me weeks to obtain it even though it arrived on time. The carrier placed the package in a tight fitting compartment instead of a locker box, gave an incorrect key, and refused to resolve the situation. I went around wasting my time jiggling the key in every locker box. I had to escalate the situation and have the package delivered to my door.

    Another incident was when I ordered a perishable item. The company decided to utilize the USPS instead of delivering the item to my front door. That company advertises on another company’s platform, but ships directly to customers. At the time, I was not aware of that. I am aware that companies do that, however, I just was not aware that that particular company did that since I was ordering a perishable item that needed to be quickly delivered. The carrier repeated a similar offense where an incorrect key was given. I never got that package. Now, I ordered an important item that I need. An incorrect key was given and I do not know where that package is located. That branch needs to be investigated. The unprofessionalism has gone on for far too long.

    I bought peacock hatching eggs and they were shipped priority mail with additional insurance purchased with the shipping. The package was declared lost and found later sitting in a warehouse. The package arrived 15 days after the ship date with the eggs ruined by being delivered past the fertile date. The USPS refused to pay the insurance claim. First, they said that they did not insure live animals. After I disputed that with facts, they claimed that they were not broken so they were not responsible.

    They also claimed the 2-3 day priority is a goal and not a guarantee even though they advertise it. (They have now changed it). I involved my US Senators and their offices have had no luck. It took them 90 days to respond in both cases while only giving me 30 days to appeal.

I gave them the amount of my money orders and they told me to swipe my card. Shortly after the clerk called her coworker over to her and they conversed about whatever it was that was on the screen and after talking and not coming to a conclusion they went and got their supervisor who stated her name was Ms. **. Came over looking pressed. She briefly finagled with the screen before she opened the register and went to the back and emptied out the till. When I asked about how were going to go about finishing the transaction she claimed I was never charged which isn't true cause I looked and the money had been deducted from my account.

    I asked for a money order, receipt or some kind of written form of documentation to be able to get my money back and she went from I was never charged to telling me to, "Dispute it with your bank." I said it was unreasonable cause my rent is due and I could incur late fees. She refused to assist me as they began to close for the day. I asked, "Should I come back and have it taken care of the following day" and she said no cause I wasn't charged. I again tried to show her the deduction from account but she was being unwilling to assist in any way.

Ideally (even though ETA of delivery was Sunday) package should be arriving on the Saturday, after all they had plenty of time to make it happen, but it seems it will be in my town on Sunday.

    Now, we all know USPS doesn't deliver on Sundays, so it will most likely be on my doorstep Monday afternoon.

    The customer service provided in the lobby of the Post Office located in Paris Illinois is top-notch. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and competent in accepting packages, mail and providing supplies. I understand the current COVID situation has deliveries backed up somewhat and that is not my issue. My issue is the actual delivery of mail and/or packages, and the quality of customer service obtained when having to contact this Post Office in order to have those issues resolved. A year or so ago, I would have said this Post Office went above and beyond in all aspects; however, that opinion has changed drastically since then.

    I have a usual postal carrier that delivers my packages and mail. This postal carrier is sorely lacking in any type of customer relations. He is consistently rude, refusing to acknowledge any pleasant greeting(s) and had a habit of stacking my packages directly in front of the front door making it impossible to get to the packages — without sending them all flying off the front porch. Common sense should have prevailed; however, seeing that it was not I had to contact the Post Master at this facility to have the situation corrected. That situation appears to be resolved even though the carrier continues to push the issue by leaving very little room to access the packages. I receive numerous packages through online ordering which is my preferred method of shopping.

    I have had issues with the delivery of packages when I receive notices from USPS that a package is out for delivery or a package has been delivered when indeed it has not. I am constantly contacting this Post Office regarding delivery issues and it is clear to me that they are more than tired of receiving my calls. The USPS is a federal organization and has the Federal Mentality that as such they can and will handle issues as they see fit. Not on My Watch. I will continue to plague this Post Office with phone calls to have any and all issues resolved.

    If the staff is either unable or unwilling to resolve my issues then may I suggest that those people find employment elsewhere — thereby opening their position to someone who will resolve those issues and do their job accordingly, and in a patient and pleasant manner. Their customers, after all, are human beings just as they. It doesn’t take much to treat each other with a little courtesy. In fact, it is far easier to do the exact opposite. I don’t have much control as to what carrier an online order company will ship with, but when I am provided an option, I will choose UPS. At times UPS may be more expensive than the USPS - but their service is worth it. I also choose UPS for all my outbound shipments due solely to the difficulties I have experienced with this particular Post Office.

Due to the holiday mail being slow I asked her to send it Priority mail. The Postal Service advertises that it will take 2-3 business days for that. It cost $7.75 to ship it. So she shipped it and gave me a copy of the tracking number so I could watch it. The day it was shipped the tracking # showed it was estimated to arrive to me the next day. This was shipped on Dec.18th and scheduled to arrive Dec.19th however it never arrived on the 19th. On the 20th the status was changed to arriving late. I'm still waiting for the package and today is Dec. 30th. 12 days later?

    If I had known this was going to happen I would have drove to MA to pick it up. Nobody at the postal status can tell me where the package is at. They just tell me it got delayed due to COVID and the Holiday mail, they said a lot of employees are out sick due to COVID and they are working on it. That is not good enough for me. Someone at USPS should take ownership of this issue and keep me informed overstep of the way until it gets delivered. I will never use USPS again to ship a package. I'll gladly pay the extra $$ to send it UPS or Fed Ex. This is a disgrace to the consumer. Their attitude is just "oh well, please be patient".

    I ordered some stuff with express 2 day shipping on December 20. It’s now December 29 and I still don’t have my stuff. I’ve received emails stating they would be delivered on December 29 at 9:00pm at the latest. It’s now 9:40pm and no package even though it supposedly left the distribution center at 4:45am! Super ridiculous I understand COVID is pushing things back but don’t give me a date and time to receive my stuff just for it not to be accurate.

    I will never use USPS for international shipping ever again! I sent my package on 12/1. It is now 12/29 and they can't tell me where it is, who has it or when it will arrive. I opened a case to research it location on 12/18 and when I call in today they tell me it will take 32 business days from the date I started my case to complete it. Then they said that if I haven't heard anything back from them in 35 business days for me to call back. What kind of shipping company can't track your package once it leave the US? I will NEVER use them again!!!

    So sick and tired of the shipping service we are seeing in the U.S. Merchants need to drop them and use UPS or FedEx only, if not, do not purchase from that seller. It is like we live in a third world country. The USPS steals the 2020 election, and are not providing service they claim (blaming it on Covid). No refunds on more expensive shipping methods either. What a scam. It really is a sad day.

    First off I will say I have several packages that are extremely late due to covid and am understanding of that. However, I mailed a letter 2 day priority letter on Dec.1, which was actually a health insurance payment. I was not told that they were not even guaranteeing its delivery. If I would've known that I would've contacted the company to see if I could've paid online or by phone. Now Dec 23 payment never arrived, insurance was cancelled and USPS won't take any responsibility or even give me a refund on the $7.75 I spent to have it 2 day. This is fraud. If they couldn't guarantee it then they should have temporarily stopped offering it! Now I have to cancel my lost check, appeal my dropped health insurance, and fight to get this situated.

    I have come to the conclusion that the USPS is a government agency whose mission is to employ hostile, rude, incompetent people that are not employable elsewhere. As a home business owner that ships product every week, I have too many issues to list. I understand delays during the holiday season but that does not explain:

    1) A great majority of the workers are just plain rude, mean and useless.
    2) Zero customer support. If you're patient enough to wait hours to speak with a human, they NEVER are able to answer a question or solve an issue.
    3) The website is flaky, non user friendly and also has Zero support.
    4) Packages arriving completely destroyed.
    5) Packages being lost.
    6) Packages delivered to wrong address.

    7) Pathetic tracking system.

    My biggest complaint is the workers. There is no reason to employ people that seem to hate their customer. No other business would survive with these employees.

    The USPS has been constantly misplacing, or just not moving my packages. This has been going on for quite a while, even before covid. The local post office is great, but the hub in the cities is horrid and even other hubs around the nation. If I pay for faster shipping, shouldn't I receive my packages faster? I've had packages before that went missing for over a week, that is UNACCEPTABLE. The USPS needs a major overhaul, they wonder why UPS and FEDEX are getting more shipping business, well, geeee.. maybe because they deliver on time.

    I mailed my wedding dress at my local USPS in Birmingham, AL on July 8, 2020. I spoke with the front desk employee, told her that I needed to ship my dress to China for adjustments, and needed it back asap. She informed me of the forms I needed to fill out, which box to place my dress in for proper shipping, and told me to come back when that was all completed. I did as instructed and paid over $80 to ship my dress back. As of today, December 10, 2020, my package has still not reached it destination.

    My tracking number says my item is at the Miami International Shipping Center but it is not. I was told to file a claim with the post office 2 months ago, so I did. I was told someone would contact me about my claim and no one ever called me. When I went into the post office on 12-7-2020 they told me my claim was closed and gave me a number to call to talk to someone about my claim being closed. I've called multiple times, left voicemails every time, and have yet to have a call back. I went back up to the post office yesterday on 12-9-2020 and was told the managers were gone for the day and was given yet another number to call. I've now been on the phone on hold for 1 hour and 12 mins.

    My package was shipped on 11/27/20 from Damascus MD branch of post office to Marietta Ga. (Tracking #**) It was expected to be delivered on 11/30/20 but it appears USPS have lost my package. This package included an item that is priceless, it is the drawing of a deceased pet. The owner of the pet is the recipient of this package and she is devastated that she lost her dog a second time. I am extremely disappointed at the service of USPS.

    I filed a case on 12/3/20 (#**) to have someone look into this. I received a call finally from Linda from Mableton Ga on 12/9/20 stating that she can see my package was scanned on 12/4/20 at the Atalanta distribution facility and it should have arrived at her facility on 12/5/20 and it never did. So that it appears my package was lost and she said there is no one she can contact at the Atlanta branch since the warehouse is very large and there is no one to call. She told me to send a mail to mail recovery for someone to look into and it may be found months later (125 Villanova Drive Atlanta GA 30336).... a physical piece of mail!

    I cannot believe USPS lost my package. The package is approximately the size of 16x20 to 18x24 of two pieces of flat cardboards with the edges taped with black duck tape, how does USPS lose a package that big? It is not a letter in an envelope, it is a large flat package. Currently the tracking is stuck on 12/8/20, stating "your package will arrive later than expected but is still on its way...." And no further information since 12/8/20. It is extremely important this package is found and I am so disappointed with the service so far.

    It's rare I send packages through USPS. However, I had a return with a pre-paid label for USPS. So Black Friday (November 27th) I walk inside my local Post Office. There were no other customers and one person behind the counter. I handed off my package, they glanced at it, "OK, you're set!" I thank them and head on my way. The following Monday I checked the tracking and noticed it stated "Label Created, not yet in system." I called my local Post Office and was told "this is normal for this time of year. Just give it a few more days."

    I give them another week to find there is still no update to my package. I tried calling once again but was unable to get anyone. I reached out to the vendor and explained my issue. They worked with me and processed the refund. Now, I understand packages get lost now and then. However, when a package is never even scanned in showing it's received, that's completely inexcusable. Not only was the package "lost" (probably sitting in a corner someone) but now there's absolutely no indication I actually dropped it off! I won't say I'll never use USPS again for shipping packages... However, if I do, I will never walk out the store without some confirmation of my drop-off!

For the past month my mail has not been delivered before 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. every night. One night it was delivered at 9 p.m.

    I understand about them being a little slower due to the Coronavirus however UPS and FedEx don't seem to have a problem getting things to you on time. In the future if I order a product, and see they only use USPS for deliveries, I'll buy it somewhere else that uses another service. I am going to report, again, the fact I'm not receiving my mail but I doubt it will do any good because they simply don't care.

    Today’s Aug 11th. I filled a claim on April 29th. #** I had been submitted all entail from both parties. Submitted all evidence as well as many photographs. Then again in mailed letters, and emails. I a high numerous levels of evidence and correspondence. Never one response. I had called many times. With them repeating their selfs to send physical evidence to the Supervisor of domestic claims in St Louis. Repeatedly I did so. I even sent it certified with Insurance.

    Now unbelievably 3 months later the website says denied. Never a letter, never an email, never a phone call. It is very clear that no investigation was looked into on this claim. When their own plastic wrap is around the package states, “We care” by the USPS acknowledging that the package was delivered damaged. Regardless if this is read or not. This is my experience only and this will go out existential repeatedly to every contact and availability that is available in social network. Not to pay additional insurance. Mind you the situation was before the pandemic.

    Do not ship anything of value W/ USPS. They are neither fast or efficient, USPS is everything we have come to expect of a bureaucracy. Your package can arrive late and damaged, they take no responsibility for the care or transport of your item. Their tracking is horrible and the customer service is non existent. In my experience UPS, Fedex, DHL, are much better choices. You can at least get a hold of a human being. The post office is a bunch of entitled workers who have no accountability or desire to make their customers happy.... I think the post office's days are numbered... If you don't have customer service you won't stay in business long.

    UP POST OFFICE, MILPITAS, CA. I signed up for a new post office box for 6 months, with a start date two weeks in the future -to align with moving. Six days later, I was laid off work, all my plans changed and I no longer needed the PO box. I never used it or had anything sent to it since I hadn't moved yet. I went in to cancel it and was handed off to FOUR different employees, one being the manger. The employee said I could only get back 50% of my payment and she didn't know how to refund it. She kept asking for help from the employee in the window next to her- who was very busy and not able to provide much help. She had me swipe my card for the 50% refund and had me sign a receipt saying I was closing my account.

    I never received the refund. I called asking for it. The manger could not locate any paperwork showing I ever signed up for a PO box and after several weeks and many phone calls later, he told me that I signed a receipt and I was given cash back so the case is closed. Not only did they not have any record of me signing up for a PO Box, they also said that by signing the receipt I acknowledge I received my deposit in cash. I was LIVID! I have never, ever experienced such incompetence at a post office in my entire life. NEVER, EVER USE THE MILPITAS POST OFFICE.

Was suppose to be delivered 7/27/2020 and now it's 7/28/2020 end of the day 8:25 P.M having gotten it today either. I will be posting bad reviews everywhere online. I had problems with this company in the past.

    I am so dissatisfied with the temporary carrier that has been assigned to my area. This has happened twice. The first time my mail wasn't delivered as I watch the carrier come into my yard and then turn away. I waited for him to come back down the other side of the road. I went to his truck and ask why did he not leave my mail. He stated my dog scared him because she was barking however she was laying inside my home with the full glass storm door locked where she always lays. I ask him for my mail. He actually threw my package at me and drove off. I sent in a complaint and a supervisor called me and ask if my dog was contained. I told him my story. He thanked me and said this was not normal procedure and he would speak to the carrier. That was about 2 months ago.

    I order lots of things off of eBay and chose USPS but on 7-16-2020 I was waiting on 3 packages and I noticed the carrier went by my home, the tracking numbers showed that evening there was no access to my home. So I waited the next day and still no mail. This was on Friday 7-17-2020. I again checked the tracking number and again stated no access to my home. Well on Saturday 7-18-2020 once again no mail so checked again. It stated the same thing. No access to my home. I sent a email to customer service about what was going on. I was given a case number and a fellow called on Tuesday 7-21-2020 and ask if I had received my mail. I told him yes and I noticed the carrier had written on my mail front door was open. He stated that a supervisor would be In Touch by the next day 7-22-2020.

    I ask if he would connect to a supervisor. He said they were busy but promised someone would call the next day from the number shown on my phone. I called this number 8 times the next afternoon and each time it stated to stay on the line and someone would be with me, then the call was dropped each time. Finally a lady named Drew called me and stated if the carrier feels he is in danger he doesn't have to deliver my mail. I told her the dog was contained inside my home and in no way could she get out. She then promised a supervisor would be In Touch on 7-23-2020. Still no one has contacted me. Today I had put a letter out to be picked up and noticed the carrier was going down the other side of the street. I was in my backyard talking with a neighbor and my dog was laying down at my feet in our fenced in backyard. I seen my letter had not been picked up.

    I got in my pickup and found him about a 1/4 of a mile away. I got out with letter in hand and gave it to him, I then ask, "Why are you not delivering my mail". He said, "You live at" my address? I said yes. He then stated my front door was open and started to walk away. I ask if he had any mail for and he never acknowledge me and drove off. I was never confrontational. Just ask why was he scared of my dog and told him she is contained inside my home and in no way could she get out.

    I have been tracking another packaged that I had purchased off of eBay and it stated that package was located at the postal office because of no access to my address. To me it seems he has taken this personal and is trying to prove he will not deliver my mail if the door is open. Ok if I shut my wooden door and my dog starts barking from the window does this mean I have to pull my blinds? Where does this end when a grown man is acting like a child and scared of something that cant harm him. I have also called over 10 times today 7-28-2020. Each time there is no one to answer and I left a message and still not one person has help to rectify this situation.

    There's always a long line at this place and the employees really don't seem to care. Even during normal days of the week there are people standing in long lines. I can totally understand holidays but this place really SUCKS when it comes to getting people in and out. Either they need more worker, or someone needs to take fewer breaks.

    Hello, I run a shoe business and currently I have been waiting on a order to arrive for one of my customers. It has been sitting for at location 75230 for a week and 3 days. I need answers! I have been tracking this order every day and there has been zero movement and no new scans. You can not tell me that this package has been in transit to come down the street to 75287 post office location for a week and 3 days. The United States Postal Services needs to do better at providing better customer services. I want to take to a live representative. This is the 2 time in 2 months that I have had issues with the post office. The first time they destroyed one of my customer’s packages and delivered it in a trash bag. I therefore had to replace it and pay for shipping again. I felt that I should have been reimbursed for shipping the first time and the cost of that product.

    Once again USPS lets us down again with the famous “can not be delivered and addressed” excuse. UPS can deliver, FedEx can deliver but USPS can’t figure it out. Give USPS to FedEx and they would fix their problems...!

    Twice I have received texts stating that my package was delivered. I go to my mailbox and check at my door and there is no package. I think the mail person for whatever reason indicated that the package was delivered to cover themselves. My pkg was not deliver until the next day or if it’s the weekend delivered on Monday. WHAT happen to the mail being delivered honestly.

    The carriers assigned to my street/building repeatedly either skip it altogether, deliver mail to the incorrect address (even when clearly addressed), or lie about why a delivery could not be made. Most recently, my bell was rung and I went to answer. It took me less than a minute. No one was at the door, no package had been left, there was no delivery truck in sight, and no note on the door saying a delivery attempt had been made.

    I got notification that the "delivery location was unavailable." The carrier clearly simply rang the bell and left. So many people rely on timely deliveries by the post office. If medicine or some other essential item is not delivered as promised, there may be significant consequences for the recipient. I have made a number of complaints about (non) delivery at this location and the issues have NOT been resolved.
