Every employee I have encountered here is very rude. I will not be returning to this post office. This office desperately needs better employees.

Cannot locate a phone number. The only way to speak with someone is to drive to the post office which is ridiculous for modern times. Instead of inundating the PO with people in line it would be nice to make a brief call to take care of business quickly. I do not know why the direct phone numbers are top secret.

Southport usps is the absolute worst I have ever encountered. Get it together people. It’s not that hard to deliver the right package to the correct address especially considering the technology that is now used to do it. You’ve delivered my packages to the wrong address twice now and then throw your hands up and basically tell me “oh well”. Unacceptable. My address is clearly posted on my mailbox and on the house. No excuse for this.

When the delivery people don't want to bother with delivering your packages, they status your packages as being held at the post office "at your request." If you travel to the post office, you'll find that your packages are not being held there, but are instead on a delivery truck. There will be no apologies from anyone - only support and excuses for their mia co-workers. Within the next few days or up to about a week later, whenever a delivery person feels like doing their job, the packages will finally show up at your house.
If the packages contain perishables, prescriptions or require a timely delivery, you are out of luck. This strategy to put off deliveries has been occurring for more than a year.
It's post offices like Southport's that make a strong case for privatization of the service along with deep reductions of the current staff. They just don't care.
