Why is that people who hold these types of jobs are so rude and lazy? It just doesn’t make sense. I think this place needs a revamp. Unfortunately, nothing will ever get done.

Update Feb 18th: the package FINALLY got delivered to the buyer, but it should have never taken more than a month for something in the same country
I shipped a package out of my city on January 6th, then it arrived here on January 9th, and hasn't moved since. I've never had a package arrive here, ever actually. I had to file a claim through USPS (both for a missing package and a package interception) just to get proof that yes, they agreed I should get a missing package claim, and they gave it to me. No one picks up the phone here, it rings for 5 minutes and tones out, and these reviews are what convinced me to file claims. Maybe one day when I get bored enough to call this location on and off for an hour I'll get my package back. If your package arrives here, go ahead and make a USPS account and start that missing package claim

Does this location deliver mail anymore?I've lived in Bessemer off and on for most of my life. I haven't seen a mail carrier in my neighborhood in 2 weeks. I rarely receive my bills or other important mail. Whats going on with this place and who can I contact to find out?
