- GKGlenn KeenerDec 27, 20251.0Really? Everyone knows why the St. Louis facility is so incompetent.
- AMAlexander MayfieldNov 10, 20251.0Today I arrived 10 minutes to close to unfortunately watch one of the workers lock the doors in my face. Soon after I arrived another car arrived. I’m wondering if the post office could update their hours or stay open the full time. I have video photos and time stamps of my arrival. This is lazy, rude, inconsiderate and extremely unprofessional. Not to mention beyond inconvenient for myself and the other customers. I have to assume to two workers are either overworked or just plain lazy. Either way, they must have extremely secure jobs to behave this way. I promise I’ll be in there one day hearing them complain about their wages when they literally turns money away today. Insane.
- CRCheryl RichersonNov 10, 20251.0I would give the a zero if I could! I live in a rural area in St. Charles County. Every time my packages are routed through St. Louis they get delayed & then lost. But if routed through KC, they process through Washington Mo and they arrive on time or early. And KC 3+ hours away, St. Louis 1 hour away!!!
- MVMarissa ViehmannNov 10, 20251.0I’m still waiting for a package it keeps adding on days!
- JAJack AguirreNov 8, 20251.0Lost my package been waiting on it made a claim and no package keeps scanning it saying it at the sorting center . And never a straight answer of where is my package ..
