I just waisted 20 minutes in line to buy a money order. When I heard a customer ask the cashier for a money order the cashier said she did not have any money orders, then she asked her coworker if she could get some from him, he responded saying "no I do not have any money orders either I am out of money orders".
At this point I've been waiting for about 20 minutes the I ask to confirm if they had money orders or if I heard them incorrectly the two employees did not respond they completely ignored me, I do believe this fact that they ignored me was because I was still waiting inline as I was not the customer directly Infront of them. So at this time I asked two more times and they both still ignored me, I heard the male employee say again to his coworker no we are all out, at least as I was visually paying attention and listening to them talk hoping that they were out was incorrect.
Well I felt very not at all cared about I left when I did so I noticed the line behind me was about 10 people long so I made the announcement that " if anyone is her for a money order they are all out" I spoke loud and clear just as loud and clear as I asked repeatedly if they had money orders, then as Im more than half way to the exit the guy shouts "we do have money orders I am the one who has them" in a frustrated tone of voice as though I was in the wrong in front of everyone who watched me ask multiple times and the employees said multiple times back and forth to each other they in fact were out.
I don't understand what I misunderstood here but I told them with my last words as I walked out with no money order that "I wish you would have corrected my miss understanding before I left my spot inline and made the announcement that if anyone is here for a money order they are sold out".
I didn't want anyone else to waste there time too.
1 ⭐ review all the way it's worth one star if you are willing to wait your whole time inline to learn if they are going to turn you away at the register because of there is a clear miss understanding to the employees they will not let you know what they got I could have a money order rite now not writing a one star review had the employees understand I'm there to support them as they are the customer.

An older employee was taking his time with my packages, and I'm pretty sure I heard him drop my fragile item kind of hard in the back. Right after he weighed it and everything. And it seemed like my boxes were more costly than when I brought in my more heavy stuff the previous day, even though they were the same size.

Been calling them a lot about a missing package and they won't answer my calls and had purposely hung up on me a couple times. I had something shipped to me via USPS and it went to there postal office and said was delivered on Jan 7 and it has been 4 days since and still haven't received my package. They sent me a email notification saying that the package was delivered to my door and we had got nothing delivered at all. What's going on? Use UPS, they're much better (if that option is available) its always delivered to your door on time and they don't scan and say delivered when its not like the USPS does. UPS will be the better choice (choose expedited shipping and it will go via UPS) all the USPS offices here in Anchorage suck!
