- MHMR. JOHNNY HERNANDEZNov 6, 20255.0Great fast quick
- MWMatt WilsonSep 6, 20251.0I was expecting a delivery today. They elected to not deliver it and instead rescheduled on their own free will with this message. “Your item was returned to the Post Office for address verification on September 6, 2025 at 12:28 pm in CARPINTERIA, CA 93013 because of an incomplete address. Your item will go out for delivery on the next delivery day if the address can be verified.” I have confirmed there is nothing wrong with my address and checked on Amazon that the address is correct. USPS customer service center was unable to do anything except file complaint.
- YCYulia CJul 30, 20255.0Awesome customer service. Unfortunately didn’t catch the woman’s name who was helping me but she was so nice and helpful.
- DBDrea BrooksMay 30, 20255.0I just had to write in and say that CJ is an amazing customer service supervisor representative!! at 7:45 this morning I called with a tracking number for a lost package. I had received word from informed delivery that my package had been delivered to a parcel locker, I received the key and ALAS . There was no package in the locker within 10 minutes. CJ come over to our development found the package and delivered it to my front door way to go CJ you deserve a raise.
