I visited the Newport, KY USPS office on August 11, 2025 regarding a misdelivered package. Unfortunately, the clerk on duty appeared very inexperienced and was completely uncooperative. They refused to help me, did not allow me to speak with a manager, and offered no support in resolving the issue. The package was wrongly delivered to the wrong mailbox, and this repeated misdelivery issue was not addressed properly. This lack of professionalism and assistance caused significant frustration and delayed any progress in locating my package. Very disappointing experience!

possible to get a human being on the phone. When you call the phone number is forwarded to the 800 voicemail tree that has no options for an actual human being

I made a bonehead mistake with my shipping address and both Stephanie and Jerry helped me out tremendously. Despite the reviews below, I found this post office to be extremely helpful with wonderful employees. This has not been my first positive experience either. Thanks again!!
