- DSDennis SearsJul 12, 20251.0They just stuffed several "sorry we missed you" tags in my mailbox and never came to the door to try and deliver. They did walk a box to the door (have on Ring), but never tried delivering the mail. This is beyond laziness and a complaint is going to be filed.
- TPTyler PetersenJul 26, 20241.01 star is a vast overstatement. Our mail person screws up daily. Third package in the last month that says delivered but it’s no where. Makes sense considering how much mail I get for other people daily.
- MMMichael MyziaJan 12, 20221.0Unfortunately, Google will not allow for zero star reviews. Even a zero star review would be complimentary relative to the review the lazy, deceptive, and unmotivated stereotypical government employees at the USPS location in Hampshire deserve. A parcel that was sent to me on January 4 from Portland, Oregon got lost after departing a USPS facility on January 5. These things happen, in a vacuum, that is not a big deal. Consequently, I called 1-800-ASK-USPS to request that the parcel (which had a tracking number) be searched for. I provided both my name and my phone number. A few hours later (I have no idea what sort of cross country search could be done in a few hours) my wife received a phone call from this location. The caller (who did not call the phone number I left) chose to misinform my wife and tell her that the parcel was never sent by the sender and that the sender created a tracking number without actually sending anything. However, USPS' own tracking system shows USPS accepting the parcel, processing it through a Portland location, and shipping it out of a Portland location. This leaves two possibilities...1) the USPS employee that called my wife chose to lie to her in lieu of doing actual work...or...2) the sender and a USPS employee from the Portland facility conspired to create a bogus processing itinerary to besmirch the good name of the USPS. The latter is utter nonsense best left to websites that talk about reptile people ruling the world, which leaves us with the first option. I understand my review will change nothing and that the employees relevant to this location will continue to prioritize relaxing on the public's dime over, you know, being self-respecting adults who actually do work while on the clock and receiving compensation and benefits from the public. I type this review to try and steer people toward professional locations such as the one on Randall Road near the Hwy 20 off ramp or the location in Rockford on Harrison Avenue (which is absolutely phenomenal).
