- DCDonnie CallowayMar 17, 20161.0I had a package marked as undeliverable and tried multiple times to contact this post office to see what can be done about my package. Gave up after calling several times (7 times on one occasion) on multiple days with no answer. After verifying with the sender to ensure the package was correct, tried the post office again. Nothing. Called another post office locally and they almost immediately answered the phone. The individual was kind and informative and emailed the supervisor of this location to contact me. That was almost a week ago. Still have not received my package. I do not know where it is at. And still, no communication from this location. It is if they avoid talking to their customers.
