Normally dont write reviews but at a loss on what to do. I dropped off 17 packages on the 13th of october for my online store and they never scanned them in. Effectively lost them all. Because they were never scanned in i cannot do anything and i have to refund the buyers. Some packages actually got delivered but it doesnt matter since theirs no proof im stuck refunding most of them. Thousands of online sales and using multiple other post offices ive never had this issue. The absolute worst post office ive used, do not go here. Now reading the other reviews i get it, what a joke.

Literally the worst place. Went in to get a package that USPS told me was ready for pick up when the Temu version of machine gun Kelly of a representative told me I had to pay for it to be held. I got notifications from USPS and the website I'd purchased from that my package was ready for pick up. She was so bothered that I was trying to get my package she went to the back and said my postal guy was on break… I kept trying to tell her that my package was there to pick up but she was insistent I had to wait for it to be delivered DESPITE picking hold at post office. Going to try and get this escalated because that was some of the worst customer service I have ever received. If you don’t like a job, maybe don’t do it.
