- CRCristina RJul 1, 20251.0On the 16th of June I closed my PO box, and I went to post office a week later to confirm it, lady didn't check to confirm and now the end of the month I find out she didn't close my PO box. She didn't even submit my change of address that was put in on June 16th. She has probably neglected to do many other things for other people. Terrible service.
