The drive up box outside is full and could not get anyone’s attention to empty it. People are nice here but they should be checking more often especially around the holidays. The drive up box is overflowing. They should make it easier when you call in to speak to a local rep so we can inform them of these issues

I can name at least 2 times in the past year where I received someone else's package. Addresses are completely different and not even remotely similar. Luckily I'm honest and bring the packages back to the post office for them to redeliver.
I can also name at least 2 times this year where they lost packages I had shipped out and I had to submit a ticket to track them down. I sell stuff on ebay, so when they lose these packages I LOSE MONEY. Sure you can buy insurance, but I shouldn't have to buy insurance for them losing my stuff. That should be their responsibility and they should have to reimburse me when they're irresponsible.
I can also name at least 3 times where they lost packages coming to me. 2 were eventually found, but one was never found. Luckily the companies I bought from refunded me, but still.
All of the packages I mentioned have tracking numbers. what's the point of paying for tracking when you're going to lose stuff anyways? Tracking should be free! And they just raised the cost on shipping!
