Don’t expect the people at this location to help you if you’re not completely ready to ship a package. They close early and will refuse any services.

Every month I have missing mail pieces. December of 2025 I had 15 missing mail pieces,letters, cards and bills. They showed on informed delivery but never arrived. Often I put mail out for pick up and it takes days for the mail person to take it out of the box. I sent a email about the missing mail an received an email back that said wait it will show up buy with alot more words. I talked to the man over the mail carriers on the phone and all he could talk about was how wonderful and perfect my carrier is and how she could never make a mistake. It was obvious they are dating or friends. He gave me a link that did not work to put in a mail search online. When I finally found the mail search on my own it has a section where you have to select something to go forward but there are no choices, nothing to select so you can go no further. All in all 1 star is far too good for how bad the Phenix city post office and its carriers are and how awful customer service is.

The post man left my package hanging out of our mailbox instead of bringing it to the door and it was stolen!! What lowdown service! & help from this office. I'll no longer have my packages come through the usps again! Very poor service. Postoffice employees & drivers should be held responsible for their negligence!!!

USPS was following a person in a dark Kia. they were told to follow him by a Joseph underwood of underwood heating and air. They want to know where he is at all time. Creepy actions. It every day they have to watch him. Photos and videos show creepy actions.

I received an alert saying out for delivery then I received an alert say pick up point. I got up went to the post office and sent my daughter in to get my package, which was 2 bottles of pills that could have fit in my mailbox, and the lady told her oh that's not us. We don't have your package. My daughter had to tell her it says pick up 9th street post office. The lazy clerk said what's the tracking number? My daughter showed it to her and she went to the back and surprise, my package was in the lazy clerks hand. I have ordered from these ppl before and my package has always been placed in my mailbox. For some unknown reason today it had to be picked up. Phenix City postal service, DO BETTER. We count on you. Hire ppl that care. Hire ppl that will do the job correctly. I know we are human we make mistakes, that's understandable but please please do better. Ppl have so many important and irreplaceable things that come through the mail. This package that my daughter picked up was her meds. She needed them. They have always been placed in our mailbox. I had to get up immediately and go retrieve them. Almost didn't get them because the lazy clerk wanted to say oh that's not us, BTW she didn't know what she was talking about. Thank you God your hand was in that. Phenix city postal service DO BETTER. PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
