First I wanna say. The guy that its on customer service. He really rude & lazy. He hardly wanna do paper work to send package to international. The postmaster need to replace him or talk to him. Plus he always in the bad mood. If he doesn't like the job he has then. He needs to look for other job instead giving people a hard time tbh. I had to go somewhere because he didnt wanna process mine package. Making excuses period... Lazy people now these days...

Usually I have pleasant transaction. Our mail carrier is a nice enough lady, I appreciate her. Aside from when someone cut a square slit on my package. Assuming to check what was inside, before retrieving it in the month of July. And today, 8/19. Young Hispanic gentleman was combative before I could even get a word out. Even after I assured him I wasn’t trying to pick up a package that I was merely turning in the mail slip authorizing the package could be left on my porch with my signature on it. He was still argumentative. Whatever bad day this guy was having he should leave that at home. Or if it’s me he had a problem with he should state that loud and clear. Wish I went when the older gentleman was working.
