Went in to ship a package and the lady working refused to get out of her chair and help. She asked if I was shipping priority and I said I wasn’t sure, whatever is cheapest and she just sighed and sat there as I stood at the counter. She never got up to weigh my package or do anything. I finally just walked out. Terrible service.

Absolutely trash help by all employees with their help to do anything about having my package sent to the destination or retuned to sender.
I requested from THE MANAGER to file an insurance claim in person after many weeks of waiting for my package to travel back from halfway across the United States over 1000 miles away from the the point of origin in the opposite direction of its intended destination, and was told no!
Nobody should ever be treated like this, and I will not be using the service ever again; this is absolutely asinine, and I will be sharing my experience with others.
Make no mistake, the United States post office DOES NOT even deserve even one star for the failure to deliver on any level!
