- VSVincent StangeJan 3, 20261.0Closed on the Saturday before and after Christmas and on the Saturday before and after New Years for “holiday hours” while our whole complex can’t pick up mail due to vandalized mailboxes. WHAT. A. JOKE.
- DTdayton toledoDec 22, 20251.0Slow service
- FFFamilyBDec 20, 20251.0It should be a minus 10. This PO station is deplorable. Not even open on a Sat before Christmas. Community mailboxes are damaged and we can't pick up our mail because they are closed. Have gift packages we can't pick up. The internal door that allows you to ring a buzzer to pick up your mail during off hours has a hole where the buzzer should be. They never answer their main phone or any direct lines during business hours. Just rings and rings. Some of the carriers are useless and in the private sector would have been fired long ago. This particular office is the worst of the worst. Multiple issues over the years with their lack of customer service (they simply don't care) and incompetence. It would take me pages to describe the incidents but I'm saving that for the book I'm sending to the Postmaster General in DC. If you are unfortunate to live in a zip code serviced by this PO, I wish you luck.
