Tracking item. Shows item arrived at 7:59 AM then at 9:19 AM. It is listed as being held at post office at customers request. I did not request it be held. I’ve had issues in the past where they refused to deliver to my employer because the building belonged to a certain company who had their own corporate mail runner. I asked to pick up items at the post office and was allowed then two days later was refused, but employee said we don’t deliver to that address because of the corporate mail runner. I informed her this was a personal item that did not belong to the company and I had paid for first class delivery. She complained that I was the one that had it delivered to that address knowing they don’t deliver there. I informed her Fedex and UPS kick items out and send them through USPS without our knowledge so no, I did not have it delivered to that address through USPS. Then the same item was listed as delivered, handed to me over the customer counter. This took away all recourse with the seller because the item was listed as delivered to me. I opened a fraud investigation Since I didn’t know where the item was or who they had given it to. It was quickly squelched. Postal employees informed corporate mail runner to pass the message through channels (email) that I was banned from calling said post office. Now they deliver to our address when they feel like it. There is a railroad line that runs along one side of our building. It is not a dead end street. If there is a train on the tracks, the postal carrier refuses to drive around the block and takes all of our packages back to the post office and list them as undeliverable“train“.

I had my mailbox taken out by someone or something. Im currently in the hospital from a neck surgery and get a call from the post master that they dont care and will start sending my mail back. Apparently the post office doesn't give a crap about people who are disabled and injured.

Came to the post office and we could not send our care package to a loved one in Guam. The reasoning was because filling out the customs forms would take too long and they closed in a few minutes. Talk about great customer service.
The lady that helped us has always given us a hard time when we are sending packages. She’s the one with the black short hair and accent.
