You really can't be bothered to empty your voicemail box and actually answer calls? I've lived in Albany for 3 days and these people already have proven they have no idea what they're doing. Lied about my package being delivered and are now ignoring my calls. Enjoy all the stuff you apparently stole from me.

Carlos was an absolute delight. You really don’t come across great customer service anymore these days, especially In places like the post Office, where people are just trying to get through their day. What a pleasure it was to walk in here on a Thursday afternoon, and be greeted by such a pleasant smile and helpful demeanor. Carlos is the epitome of a someone that can truly change someone’s day around just by being kind and helpful. Someone that goes above and beyond, just because. Truly one-of-a-kind and I hope to see Carlos again soon. Thank you Carlos for being one of those people that restores my faith in humanity!

Arrived at 9:08am for an 8:30 opening. Retail window still closed. No apathy or urgency from the employees casually milling about the lobby. Another poorly run USPS location with zero focus on customer service.
