December 2024, I rented P.O box at the Trolley Square station. The box was closed without my consent. After I complained, it was reopened. I subsequently paid for its renewal, demonstrating my intent to maintain the service,
Systemic Failure Begins: Despite my payment, the post office again closed my box and changed the lock. Astonishingly, they continued to place mail into a locked box to which I was denied access.
Complete Loss of Mail: For months, each visit to the post office to inquire about my mail was met with the same response from clerks: "We don't know where your mail is." During this time, I complained to the Postmaster for Wilmington, and Postal Service, to no avail, if anything it made the situation worse.
Two months ago, (September 2025), I spoke with the new supervisor who acknowledged the problem. He personally delivered a large accumulation of my mail a few days later. This confirmed that my mail was being held within the facility, inaccessible to me.
Since that one-time delivery, I have received no mail whatsoever. In fact, 11/19/25, I received a call from Delmarva Power requesting my new address, I told the young lady that that I’m still at the same address. She then explained that the post office sent my mail back and wrote on the envelope, “return to sender, moved wear about unknown .” This is not a case of intermittent service; it is a complete blackout of my postal delivery.
On November 17, 2025 I visited the Rodney Square office. The clerk, who was visibly annoyed, again stated she did not know where my mail was and, when I requested to speak with the supervisor, I was told he was not available.
The consequences of their shameful failures are not merely inconvenient; they are catastrophic.
• Financial Security: My bank sent a new debit card six weeks ago. It has never been delivered, leaving me without secure access to my funds.
• Loss of Vital Benefits: Most devastatingly, the Delaware Department of Labor sent time-sensitive correspondence regarding my unemployment claim. Because the post office held this mail for over three months, the deadline to respond expired. As a direct result, my unemployment benefits have been terminated, and I'm now indebted to the state of Delaware for a portion of the payment received.
