- ZLZoey LavenderOct 11, 20252.0Office staff are great. They all know me on a first name basis which is pretty sweet. However the carriers seem to have personal vendettas against the general public for no apparent reason. The thing is that nothing can be done about this because USPS is so massively understaffed due to budget cuts that they have to keep these carriers on payroll to get mail delivered. If I wasn't disabled I would apply in a heartbeat because what the carriers are doing is destroying public trust in the postal service. I had an issue with my landlord committing felony mail interception and there's nothing the post office could do about it because the carriers refused to obey supervisor orders. This exact problem is why I've moved apartments. I upended a life of 9 years and was forced to move because the postal service couldn't get the carriers to stop being complicit in mail crimes.

- TTTaylorDec 13, 20221.0Called multiple times just to be hung up on. Not to mention still haven’t gotten a package that was apparently out for delivery on 12/9 and still haven’t received it and it’s not 12/13 but has stated it’ll be delivered everyday after the 9th and nothing. Also not getting my mail delivered to my house since the ninth even though it shows on informed delivery that I’ve gotten mail everyday just apparently not into my mailbox.
