- MMMoney Over MoL•D3Oct 30, 20251.0after not receiving my package for 3 weeks the mailer who runs hagler coalings routes gives my little sister who’s 10 a missed package slip after not attempting to knock on the door while another older individual was home. very disappointed
- FSFranz StranningerOct 23, 20255.0This post office is always friendly.
- ALAllyson LeeOct 13, 20251.0Honestly I’ve given them the benefit of the doubt far too long. I’m truly so tired of my packages saying that they were delivered when they weren’t. This happens almost every single time. They eventually get delivered hours later but that doesn’t matter because why go ahead and mark as delivered? So that I’m frantically looking for my packages each time? Wild. Do better or get another job if you can’t be punctual.
