- JSJay S5 days ago1.0If you have a package that ends up here you can just forget it. You won't be receiving it. Anything that comes to this location gets stuck and never moves. I've had packages arrive and leave Atlanta, LA, Dallas, etc same day with no issues but apparently this place just collects packages and does nothing with them. Just shut this place down already.
- CFchantay freelandDec 22, 20251.0After reading other reviews I now doubt I'll receive my package intact or this year. It left from Florence, Al on 12/12 and received in Bessemer, Al on 12/21. It took 9 days to go 129 miles?? Did someone walk it to Bessemer? Or did the Bessemer PO just decide to scan that they received it. It still has about 1800 miles to go before it reaches me. I'll update this review when I receive my package.
- BRB RosqDec 22, 20251.0My package has been stuck in Bessemer for 10 days with no update. I tried to call the office and they picked up and immediately hung up. It looks like a lot of other people are having similar issues with this location. What is going on here? Was there a fire? A flood? Did the Grinch come to this USPS location and steal Christmas??
- BBBlake BennettDec 21, 20251.0My package has been stuck there for over a week just getting scanned in and out of the office not actually doing anything with it not sure if I’m actually ever going to get it. Place is terrible would do 0 stars if I could
- RVRon VontrobaDec 16, 20251.0My package has been in Bessemer AL for 18 days. it was shipped 11/28/25 scheduled for delivery 12/3 as of today we do not know when this package will it arrive at it's destination.
