- MDmarie duckettNov 1, 20252.0Counter clerk was efficient but not friendly at all. No acknowledgement to my polite "thank you". Just a "next".
- MNMy NameOct 17, 20253.0Don't buy mailing supplies from the post office. I purchased several envelopes last year to mail packages. They now say I have to buy the envelopes again when I mail the package unless I can produce a receipt. I had no idea I would need to keep receipts for envelopes that I package my stuff in. I will never buy products from the post office again. I was called a thief for products I purchased. I could have purchased envelopes at Office Depot. I learned a costly lesson. 👎 👎 boo... Update: the post office accusing me of stealing envelopes can't even spell Bessemer on their own postal stamp ( see pic)
- EEEleda EttenylSep 10, 20251.0I have been waiting on a package that's supposedly been stuck here in Bessemer since 08/31/2025 and it is now 09/10 with no updates since. Says delivery status is unavailable. Now, I can't get a refund or replacement for my items. Junk mail is delivered religiously. So, there's nothing in my environment hindering deliveries. Where are my packages?
- JJJoeAug 27, 20255.0Got some money orders here, they were fine.
- CDChina DollAug 25, 20251.0First of all they are not helpful at all and your automated system is very slow yall need to do better With people time and mail
