I spoke with a woman that works at the post office today October 7th about some orders that had came through there yesterday and I had spoke with another guy on the phone yesterday about that were going to the wrong address to my ex we recently parted ways and she's being her usual self wont let me get my stuff that there or has come through the mail but he said he would hold them for me I live a 100 yards from the post office and my ex lives a half a mile from me and this lady was so rude she wouldn't check and see if my orders were there or she wouldn't let me ask if they could hold some thats supposed to show up tomorrow she was just totally rude and you can't change the address after they ship so ill probably never get the stuff if it makes it to my ex see this is kinda stuff that causes problems for people me and my ex are not seeing eye to eye and she has threatened to call the law if I call or show up so this woman just really missed me off she was very unprofessional in my opionion and im sure in anyone that would have heard her would have thought the same

I usually have no complaints. But, the weather is getting pretty cold and I own multiple reptiles. I was expecting my bulbs to come in today, because my poor bearded dragon NEEDED them. But, ALAS, it apparently got delivered to the wrong address and now I can't even call about it till Monday. 🙄 These bulbs are way more expensive buying in stores. So, thank you for the added stress.
