- JJJoel3 days ago1.0If you are Recieving a package; UPS and FEDEX are better and support the customer better.
- JBJames L. ButlerJun 30, 20251.0The Bemidji Postmaster needs to properly supervise the front end staff and rural route carriers. I ordered a package through Amazon. As most people in the world realize, Amazon decides the carrier NOT the customer. I was informed my package of two outdoor chairs could not be delivered. I inquired with the USPS 800 number. It was promised to be delivered two days later. I was suspicious and drove 30 minutes to the Bemidji post office. The female clerk stated she had the two boxes. After showing my driver's license twice, she advised the chairs would have been returned. After asking why she advised the carrier could not deliver because there was no mailbox along the rural highway a quarter mile from my cabin. I asked if the boxes would have been placed along the road for all to take for free...and that the two 3' X 3' boxes would not fit in ANY mailbox. She then asked if I wanted my items or not why she had them behind the counter. I explained I paid for them ans yes. She decided not to hold items as hostage when I asked to speak with her postmaster. I finally was given my two chairs after she asked if I worked for Amazon and explained they decide how to ship, not me. Apparently the lack of intelligent, efficient and effective employees is more prevalent in the U.S.P.S. than I ever imagined...
- PSPhilippe SheltonJun 6, 20255.0Not sure why the bad reviews. I like this post office.
- HHHaydenDec 11, 20235.0The negative reviews here are honestly a shame. The staff are great, the building is in good condition, and they do a great job getting 99% of deliveries done without issue. We all have those times where a package gets lost or damaged or whatever else I’ve seen complaints about. We live in a relatively remote location with many obstacles to accomplish normal delivery. It’s really clear that many people have never had the displeasure of dealing with the large delivery companies when things go wrong. It can be frustrating when there are issues and understandably so, but at the end of the day our USPS is a vital community resource!
