- RHRonnie Hickmon6 days ago3.0Quick service
- EWEonna WhiteOct 7, 20251.0shipped a package and the clerk told me i couldn’t receive a receipt with a tracking number. her exact words after i asked for the receipt “ that’s it. you can’t get a receipt. count 5 days after today.” the tone & deliverance was extremely unprofessional. i ship things all the time & never once was denied a receipt. in fact, i never had to ask for it.
- SHSolomon HumphriesOct 3, 20251.0Very slow service, rude employees. They don't deliver packages correctly or on time. If you call/email to try and get help they never respond. I've had numerous complaints and tried to talk to the manager, but they've never returned my call or answered my emails.
- RRRWSep 12, 20251.0No, is certainly an answer if you cannot help a client but the disgusting and unnecessary attitude is TOO MUCH. I'm so sick of the HOSTILITY. Atp I think some ppl can only feel good if they're making others feel bad.
- TTtrinity “Trin”Aug 30, 20251.0I HATE THIS POST OFFICE SO MUCH THEY DONT DELIVER TO MY BUILDING BECAUSE They say it’s nobody for this route. Nobody wants to take our route on 63rd and Maryland because it is too long so now the residents have to suffer and don’t get mail. We haven’t been getting mail in over weeks and then when we go to the post office to try to pick it up, they tell us the mail is on the truck. How is the mail on the truck if we don’t have a postal worker Heard from one of the employees quoted y’all route as a overtime route because y’all have no postal worker to deliver so if people wanna pick up overtime, we get mail if they don’t, we don’t get mail so now us as the residents we have to This is unacceptable. I have filed complaints with the post office. I have to talk to the manager. I spoke with the manager Danielle yesterday who told me oh I have three people out on y’all route delivering mail come home and there’s no mail so now they lie and lie to us this is so unacceptable.
