    What you read is true. Only one here who even attempts to care or help is Lance. I havent received paper mail in weeks. Packages show delivered and arent. I was told my only recourse is to file a complaint. I have filed a complaint with the post office, AL state consumer affairs, and spoken with the district congressman. I would suggest others do the same. They have failed to deliver and/or lost my driver’s license, financial documents for a new car and home, and a car title…and that is just what I know of.

    The mail carrier who delivers along newby road is going to hit a child if he continues to drive as fast a recklessly as he is. Driving as if he is the only person in the whole neighborhood and that other people and CHILDREN don't exist. Disgusting.

    Edited on 10.07.2025 This post office is either stealing my mail or they are absolutely the most incompetent mail carriers ever! Two more missing pieces of mail in the last week! Everyone here needs to be fired for incompetence!!! I wish I could give negative stars, as this branch so desperately deserves! A solution the worst, most incompetent, disgustingly inept service of all!! Beyond despicable!

    Yesterday was a complete screwup by our carrier, four issues! One, we did not receive our letter mail as our daily email said was coming. Second, one box was completely destroyed. One Amazon delivery was delivered somewhere else. And lastly we got one package for someone else. How do they find these incompetent people. I wa5ch a young female mail carrier on 72 in Madison just dancing away in the vehicle while speeding, cutting people off, and not using signals when changing lanes and just driv8ng reckless.
