    The person who was at the front desk on November 17th at 3:15 p.m. was very racist towards me. I am Hispanic and speak English, and she said she couldn't help me because she didn't understand me. She started speaking rudely to me and told me I had to talk to a manager because she wasn't paid to do that. She was irritated, saying that she was left alone at the front desk, that she asked for help and nobody came, and she took it out on me. I'm not going back to that location.

    I reported a replacement carrier on Thursday November 6, 2025. (Shown in photos.) she threatened me with physical violence and cussed at me all because I asked her not to park on the corner in the middle of the street. As my son's school bus couldn't get down the street. This is also after she nearly hit the pole on the corner and road up on the curb as well because she was on the phone talking. Followed by refusing to deliver mail for the entire block that day. The route was never finished so no one including me got mail 11/6. After which she sped off down the block once I told her that if she didn't stop yelling, cussing and threatening me I have to call the cops. Today November 7, 2025 someone from this local office called me and told me it was my word against hers and refused to identify themselves. When I asked what their name was, and told them I have all of this on video. They told me it wasn't necessary so they wouldn't watch it and hung up on me. Never once was it mentioned that my service be interrupted. Only for me to come home after work today to a note saying my mail service was suspended. This is clearly retaliation for me filing a complaint. Mind you my family has owed this home for 20 years. Heather is an excellent mail carrier and we had never had any issues in all the years we have been here. I don't know the name of the person who threatened me and was filing in for her but I haven't gotten mail for two days. And I'm not sure why this be allowed by management after I had to file a complaint and call the police for my own safety. I can't believe that they suspend my service and withhold my mail from being delivered. This is outrageous and I would like to be contacted by someone who can fix this. It's literally hard to believe this is happening but after reading these reviews I see I'm not alone.

    The ladies there helped me recover a package that was sent to my old apartment. I was pretty skeptical but all of them worked together and recovered my package. 5 stars

    I objected to a charge that contradicted what the shipping calculator on line said. This other cashier grabbed the package ripped off the label and told me to go elsewhere. I asked for the supervisor he came out I explained what she did then she got angry and tried to hit me with a package.The supervisor was not very helpful about any of it. I put in a formal complaint. That branch is out of control. Something needs to be done. I have no idea if my package will arrive or will they tamper with it out of spite
