These geniuses changed the locks on the apartment mailboxes (for current residents) where I live and told NO ONE. Not the apartment management, leasing office or even maintenance. Our keys no longer work on our mailboxes and we can't access our mail and now we have to wait for the whoever did it to show back up to work.

They are horrific. We have had an incredible amount of lost mail. They are blatantly rude too. I'm not sure what can be done. From the 1.8 review, how has a representative from the postal service not gotten involved???

One of the most unprofessional post offices I have been to. Opening hours show as 0800. I get there at 0755, the office did not open until 0845. There was a long line, and I was the second in line. My niece received a money order on Thursday, but the machine malfunctioned, and the staff was unable to print her money order, a receipt, or any proof that she had paid $1,400.00. The supervisor told her they would call the IT department, but they didn’t answer, so she should come back on Friday. Friday comes, and the supervisor tells her it will take a while because she doesn’t know if the IT department is open. The IT department was closed on weekends, so the supervisor said she would call on Monday to let her know when the money order was ready. Monday came, and there was still no call, no receipt, or proof that she had paid $1,400 for a money order. On Tuesday, I accompanied her to ensure she received her money order, and that’s the day they didn’t open until 0845. The clerk called the supervisor, and the supervisor said to come back after 0900. We waited until then, and nothing happened, so I asked the clerk to call the supervisor, which she did. The supervisor said she was working on it and then hung up. Another 30 minutes passed, and I asked the clerk to call the supervisor again and check on the status. The clerk calls the supervisor again and hands me the phone. I asked the supervisor how much longer, and she said, “I already told you it's going to take a while,” and then she hung up on me. By then, it is 1030 am and we have not received the money order or even seen the supervisor. She finally shows up, doesn’t even apologize for her unprofessionalism, and says that she will take care of it. She then prints the money order, which took over the span of 5 days to obtain. The level of unprofessionalism displayed by the supervisor and the incompetence of the clerks on Thursday was evident, as they failed to provide her with any proof, receipt, or email explaining what happened when the bank deducted the money. As a result, my niece had no way to demonstrate that it was a money order that she never received. Machacara Graham (supervisor) is one of the most unprofessional and rude supervisors I have encountered. I told my niece never to come back to this post office, and I advise everyone, if you can avoid this place, please do.

The very basics of running a business is keeping the hours that you post. Why can't they do that
