The staff here is not trained, they don’t even know how to process the mails, take lots of time to attend one person, there is no manager here to whom you can talk about the issues.

I want to thank the manager with glasses. I told him that my package showed “delivered” five days ago, but I never received it. As soon as he heard that, he immediately asked me to provide the tracking number and said he would have the mail carrier check the mailbox again within an hour. I honestly didn’t have much hope, but two hours later, my package came back — lost and found. Thank you all, that was incredibly fast!!
