Seems like everyone is doing what Target is doing. For the Post Office to say sorry for the long wait. Is NOT what they used to say. For they would say Nothing at ALL!!! Mailing a box today only waited about 6 minutes and I guess its the Supervisor telling me sorry for the wait. I don't get IT???

I mailed 2 parcels on the same day. One ground and one priority mail with additional insurance. It took one week for the priority mail package to arrive and the other never arrived. Same shipping address mailed from the Wake Forest office. That was a month ago so I assumed that someone in the postal service helped themselves to the contents or there is a box sitting somewhere in "unclaimed mail". I have very little faith in the USPS these days. No recourse because although I have a tracking number it wasn't insured.

This location has gone down hill since the new postmaster took over in 2024. Customer service is horrible and no one answers the phone anymore. I miss the nice lady Susan, she would go over and beyond to help me locate missing packages and was always available when I called.

The absolute worst. I’ve been trying to change my address with them for literally months. They said I’m “all set,” but my mail keeps going to my old house. I’ve been in there probably 8 times, and they never fix it despite me jumping through all of their hoops repeatedly. They act annoyed with me, instead of their flawed system. I give up!

Our current postal delivery person is terrible. He gets the wrong addresses, and the wrong buildings too! He makes no attempt to deliver packages, always leaves notice to pick it up yourself. If that wasn't bad enough, he's completely rude and won't even turn around and acknowledge you when you're standing right by him. Other people need a job, you know.
