I had to leave Lincolnton post office due to non stop negligence, and have been taking my packages every day of the week to the Maiden Post Office for several months now. This is one of, if not the best post office I've dealt with so far, and every one of the people there are beyond great to work with. I have no idea how there are so many bad reviews here as I'm there every day of the week with the exception of Sunday, and every day has been great.

Was there for a passport appointment today and it could not have been easier.
The male clerk (13) explained everything and was very polite and courteous.
I highly recommend this place!
As a follow up: the passport was delivered today, less than 2 weeks from dropping off my application and just 8 days after the DOS received it.
Really awesome!

The staff sucks, they didn't accept me to my baby's passport appointment, 2 times and they gave me buts. I had never come across racist people

If I could give this place zero stars I would definitely do that. I had a package shipped from Etsy to a friend in Maiden. The tracking showed the package arrived mid December and was to be delivered by 12/16. However, there was no movement for a few days before I made a complaint. I received a call from Scott who said that the package may have been delayed although it was scanned in the Maiden post office. He asked that I give them a few days as this was normal. Scott closed the ticket without resolution. Next I noticed the package was traveling and scanned in Greensboro NC, but no further details. The package was lost in limbo for several weeks with no updates. Ironically today, 3 weeks later I received an update that the package was out for delivery. To my surprise an empty bag was delivered, the gift that was ordered was gone. The empty bag was stuffed inside of a USPS sleeve. Seems a little sketchy to me.
