My package is "lost or stolen" from this location. I've since opened up an investigation into this facility with USPSI and USPS OIG. If your package comes here and does not leave this location, please report it immediately to USPSI & USPS OIG and document everything!!! Dodge this untrustworthy facility at all costs!!
Bad Business Alert!!!

Been tracking 2 packages that had stopped at this location. One package 10 days, the other, 8 days. Have a feeling this office consists of criminals. One more day, i'm calling their superiors.
