Scanned my package as delivered. It's not here, so I go to the this post office where my mail should be at. The guy at the counter tells me, that my apt building is UNDELIVERABLE. Told that the landlord needs to fix the access issues and then they will be able to deliver my mail. I say well since I am here let me get my mail and package. Then tells me it's against the policy of the post office to pass out mail over the counter for buildings they can't deliver too and told me I can't have my mail. They have my damn Christmas gifts I paid for, Scan as delivered but won't turn over the packages. Thieves ...

It is truly a shame that this establishment is responsible for our community’s mail service. I’ve never seen people more apathetic toward providing a service to people.
Tracking the time, it took 1 hour and 23 minutes to learn my packages are not being delivered because the carrier is too lazy to read.
Good news, the pick-up clerk is cute and helpful.
