- OPOlivia PoseyNov 4, 20251.0This post office has given our mail to neighbors, our neighbors mail to us, lost packages, withheld packages, and marked packages as delivered hours or days before the item shows up. Sorely disappointed, especially when I rarely order online. When I do it's lost or very late, and you can't even talk to a real person by calling!
- GWGayle WinterOct 31, 20251.0I got a notification that there were unable to deliver my package when i was literally waiting at my door… it was a very important package and now i have to wait forever to get it again… i was waiting for this package, my ring doorbell didn’t even pick them up trying to come to my door… this place is terrible and lazy.
- JWjohn wilsonOct 7, 20251.0It seems like the the carbondale location is where mail goes to die. There's been several times while tracking a package it hits this location and stays there for several days that is if it ever does leave and you have to file a claim to get them to actually look for it.
- SJSoaR JaeSep 15, 20251.0I just recently moved here and don’t have a Illinois state id the new worker that just hired refused to give me my mail even after proof of identification and proof of residency because he needed a physical card to hold when I go there every other week to pick up a package and not once was I ever told I needed a physical card respectfully I’m switching postal services.
- KCKyle CrothersJul 11, 20251.0The United States postal service has gone completely downhill. They either don't pay their people enough to keep enough staff or their workers have become so disgruntled. I have been trying to get in touch with an actual agent and all I keep doing is getting an automated run around. Do better post office
