The Post Office attendant gave my package to someone who lived on the same street, because he failed to look at the apartment number. Told they were not going to reimberse my the over $100 dollars I lost and refused to give me any information on their policy or how they handle such things. They also about four months ago gave me a handful of mail and it wasn't all mine. BEWARE: they do NOT pay attention.

Try not to get the bald guy with glasses, he has no idea what he is doing ever. Just spews out nonsense with a blank clueless face. Everyone else is great though
