    Is this what Jackson taxpayers are paying for? This is my primary post office, and I ship an average of 40–150+ packages per month through this facility. My customers consistently remark on how fast and reliable Ground Advantage shipping is—even to states like California, Washington, and Oregon. Unfortunately, the conditions surrounding this location have become unacceptable. Several individuals experiencing homelessness have begun using the exterior and interior areas of this high-traffic postal facility as a place to loiter, store belongings, and engage in unsanitary behavior. The presence of trash, carts, bags, and personal items has created a serious cleanliness, safety, and security concern for both customers and postal employees. There have been repeated instances of strong odors, including urine, both inside and outside the building. Individuals regularly beg for money and occupy common areas, making the facility unwelcoming and unsightly. This is the largest and busiest mailing center in the state, and it should be maintained accordingly. I want to be clear that this is not a criticism of the postal employees—they are clearly overworked, underpaid, and continue to provide excellent service under difficult circumstances. However, this situation requires intervention. If Capitol Police or another authority has jurisdiction over this area, their presence is needed. This property should be kept clean, safe, and accessible for the public and for the employees who work there daily. Jackson taxpayers deserve better conditions than what is currently being allowed at this facility. I strongly urge city and state officials to address this matter promptly.

    5th state I’ve lived in. Never had as many lost mail pieces, and deliveries to the wrong address as I have here.

    Holding peoples packages, not delivering them. My package has been held over a week, it was moving through all the networks just fine untill it reached here. I am reporting this place and will try my best to get it investigated bc i am finding multiple comments that are the same. My package has been held more then a week and im fed up, my package is super late and if i have to drive 3 hrs to get it i will and you will receive a lawsuit in the process
