- STsara thomasNov 14, 20251.0Back in April I was expecting a check in the mail for $532. The mail person put it in the wrong box. I am now out the money as the other person cashed the check. I called the police and the other person told them they were expecting the check as well. So I'm out. Since then the mail person has decided to no longer deliver my mail. This is 6 months. During this time I was receiving treatment for cancer. Bills for treatment were being sent to me. Now all in collections. I had taken out an interest free credit card. When you don't get the bill to pay it all the interest gets tacked on. I applied for a Minnesota nurse's license for a job paying $2500 per week. I needed to fill some paperwork out and get it mailed back by 11/4. I never received the documents. At this point this mail person has cost me thousands of dollars. I have asked for the mail commission to call me multiple times. I get no return calls.

- CRCarrol RolowOct 24, 20251.0You must take a test to get the job, but don't have to know where the states are... is there any intelligent person that works here???? And now you want us to pay for informed delivery?!?!?!?!? Do your jobs better!!!!!! Yall have lost your minds...
- JBJenny BAug 5, 20252.0Self kiosk doesn't work half of the time. Boxes are never stocked. People working are frequently (but not always) rude. And ya wonder why the conservatives wanna defund you. SMDH.
