As an EBay seller for several years I print my own labels, so that I don’t have to stand in line at the post office(I have a copy of label and an assigned tracking number and all pertinent I info) I then drop it off with them and trust that the USPS will scan and deliver items. In the last couple of months two, small packages, padded Manila envelopes simply disappeared. When checking their tracking numbers it indicates that those packages were never received by USPS all with pre printed labels….which tells me they were never scanned as evidence that they were received by USPS. If this had been an isolated issue I would have just shrugged it off. BUT this has happened with mail as well…..What is going on?…. Why isn’t mail being processed and disappearing???

This is the WORST post office ever. I went in tonight to try to get a PO Box. The woman behind the counter was SO INCREDIBLY RUDE. So unhelpful. I ended up saying 'forget it' and walked out. I wish they would shut down this post office, or hire new staff and fire the current staff. UGH. I will never go back in there. So unfortunate.

the older lady with short hair is so rude. I may start driving to a further location just to avoid her. God forbid you need some help or make a small mistake because she will yell at you and make you feel stupid. i dont say this lightly, she needs to be fired
