I had a package coming from Etsy this week and received a notification from this post office which said "held at post office per customer request". As I hadn't made such a request, I went out to check my mailbox thinking it may have just been a mistake, but inside there was a notice about additional postage money being required to make the delivery.
I couldn't get through to them via phone or the online chat, so I drove over there to speak with someone myself and get the package. They said the Etsy seller shouldn't have sent the package that way because the items were bendable/could have been a letter and that's why it would be more money, etc. I paid the fee, and contacted the Etsy business owner.
It turns out she still had the receipt and had literally taken my order to the post office to be ship it so it was definitely correct postage the first time. Nevertheless, she went back to her post office and told them my story to try to get a refund for me.
To cut to the chase, they were shocked that the Mahomet Post Office had charged additional money for a claim that didn't make sense as a letter would have been less costly. So before you head to this office to deal with nonsense, just be aware that you may want to ask for a manager or to see shipping rates yourself before paying extra. If I didn't have finals coming up next week and wasn't so close to giving birth, I'd go back to deal with them in person on principle alone as this was ridiculous.

In one year they have forwarded my mail to someone else and sent back numerous packages. Maybe instead of the good old boy system where you hire incompetent workers then promote them to incompetent post masters, you hire someone who knows what they are doing. It also doesnt matter how often you complain.

Friendly staff who always make time to interact with my two young boys when we're there. Quick in and out, they always call an extra clerk up when the line gets long where as some Champaign locations the line can be 20 people deep and still only one clerk. Only complaint is they don't open till 9am.
