I just learned from my mail carrier family member that many post offices are understaffed because greedy managers are paid whatever is left over from the budget at the end of the year.

I highly recommend NOT sending or receiving anything in bright colored envelopes (whether it be a letter, card, photo(s), gift card, money, etc.). One of these mailmen and/or postal workers has been opening up my mail.. I'll receive my mail already ripped open and contents inside gone/ STOLEN.
Also, plan accordingly if you have to go inside. It's almost always a slow and long process no matter how many people are in line. Try to go in the morning if you can.
Lastly, customer Service can be a hit or miss at this USC location.

DO NOT leave your packages here without getting them scanned! Thought I lost the packages I left there, but they randomly showed up across the country over a week later leading to some annoyed clients asking why I hadn't shipped them yet.

She was dead sertain in wasn’t , with out even looking in to tge computer or verification, she just was like nope that’s not tge key, then she changed the story telling us they did change the locks and that they had given us the keys and we’re said uh no we don’t have they’d plus why did you change the lock, , she then proceeded to tell us that maybe you did make your payment back in march six months ago hand we had a receipt saying it was paid and the next payment was in September 30th that’s weeks from now eventually they changed the story saying they had given us tge keys and that we should have them but that there was a someone coming over from who knows were to try to resolve this that’s when argument broke out with two other customers I think trying to renew they passports and the clerk was being rude plus basically sending them to another location cause she didn’t wana help them hence the video we eventually got our keys snd they never told us why they changed tge lock or what happed or even asked us for i,ds to
Verify If it was really our p. O box or not 2 hours we were there trying to see what was going on all we got was a round around till they finally maybe said ok tgey ain’t living here just given them the new keys , looking at tge reviews I can tell that something is up in there and they need to retrain, fire , an possibly investigate , this location here cause there’s some unprofessional people working here and very sketchy things going on inside there
