    Absolutely impossible to get a person on the phone. Simple question but I have to drive to the post office and stand in line to get an answer. .they should pay me the $1.12 postage due. How to set up redelivery. I'm just sticking it on my mailbox. I hope that works.

    Historically this has been about a half a star, but they have got a tiny bit more efficient.... and it seems like maybe someone said something at sometime somewhere that maybe these folks can become a little more customer-centric. It is what it is but I think there is plenty of room for improvement but it is better than it used to be.... no really.... lol 🤣 🤣

    I sent a priority package on Saturday from Idaho Falls to Colorado Springs. I wanted the package tracked to verify it's delivery. No signature needed, just deliver it. USPS won't declare how long it will take to arrive until after they process the package in the computer. Poor Programing. In the early days Priority Mail was a 2 to 3 day delivery. My package was going to take 5 days. WTH, 5 days for $11.60. Their routing is so poorly executed these days. Idaho Falls to Boise, not SLC. To SLC, then to Denver, then to Colorado Springs. Good Grief. The package didn't go out for delivery until Fri AM, in Colorado Springs, a day later than expected. The postal delivery human related that they attempted delivery on Friday AM but no one answered the door. My daughter was home all morning. Then the delivery human takes the package backed to the PO vs just putting the very small package in my daughter's locking USPS mailbox on her curb. Horrid service for a huge price and no guarantee or refund for their terrible service.

    Had a very great expierance with the Passport clerk. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He also took a very nice photo. Would highly recommend making an appointment vs trying to walk in for passport services though. The wait can be crazy.

    It's not the Post Office itself, its my mailbox Postman who delivers my mail to my mailbox. Today marks the 35th package NOT DELIVERED TO MY MAILBOX since July 1, 2025. CAN ANYONE BE HELD RESPONSIBLE?? 3 DIFFERENT TIMES I received notifications my packages were delivered to my mailbox. And 3 times my mailbox was completely EMPTY EXCEPT FOR AN AD & 1 LETTER. Late July 2025, I WAS NOTIFIED 19 PACKAGES WERE DELIVERED TO MY MAILBOX. THAT PARTICULAR DAY, MY MAILBOX WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY!!! NOT 1 PACKAGE!!!! ABOUT 4. & 5 DAYS LATER, I RECEVED IN MY MAILBOX OF THE PACKAGES THAT WAS TO HAVE BEEN DELIVERED THE Saturday before. I have had wrong letters & packages delivered to my mailbox but I took the time to hand deliver them to their rightful owners. The common denominator is APT 103. I do live in an apartment complex at Summerhill Apts in Idaho Falls. But today marks the 35th package to be delivered to my mailbox. But my mailbox only had 1 letter inside my box. I am very DISCOURAGED WITH OUR DELIVERY SERVICE IN Idaho Falls. Yes, I do live at 959 Hoopes Ave #103 Idaho Falls, Idaho 83404. I am hoping this gets to the right people & thi gets fixed. I have done all my Christmas shopping on line because it is hard for me to get out & about. I am just an ordinary Grandma who loves her Grands & Great Grands. Most of these packages were not replaced as their notifications was the same notifications I also received. Sorry, it has hurt me financially bad. I will never recoupe what I have lost in gift buying (especially in shipping charges 😢). I am hoping someone cares. Thank you, Kaye
