    These ppl are a complete joke. The delivery driver refuses to deliver packages. Mind you I seen a worker actually pull out a janitor ring of keys and open my building door. So they have the ability to deliver packages that do not fit the mailbox, but pick and choose when they want to or not. So then you have to go pick up your package mind you these ppl be closing the doors early, their inside lighting is so bad it looks like it's closed while you are standing inside, the workers be getting told to leave while ppl are waiting in line. They have one to two ppl working daily. So I go to pick up my package the next morning the worker says "we don't have it." It can't be anywhere but at the post office being it was not scheduled for redelivery. But I don't have the energy to argue with these ppl so I said okay and left. It's late afternoon and I still haven't gotten a notification where my package is at so I call customer service and they also let me know what I already knew/figured, that they should have the package at the office. So the lady lied. These ppl are outrageous. Never had this issue in the better part of the city, uptown. Another package not delivered that would literally take two seconds to bring to my door they decided not to deliver..mind you this week I watched a worker deliver a package in my building. Once again picking and choosing. So from now on I will be cancelling orders where the company chooses to use USPS as their carrier. Somebody else was saying that what they do. I find it to be a good idea. Its too bad I can't get this office up out of here. They really don't need to have a business when they clearly have an issue with doing their jobs.
