    The B'Way & 46th St. (11103) Branch as a "Whole" has Grossly FAILED local Residents Many Times Over... "Indirectly" through the Irresponsible and Oblivious (few) Mail Carrier(s) that Handle Sensitive & Anticipated mail/Letter format from Loved ones Abroad. No Sence of Follow up to USPS Protocols in place. It's sad to watch Mail Men/Women day after Day making errors because they're too BZ/Focused Face-Timing instead of Actually Reading the Addtess Lines on the Mail Piece... 😔. This job is one of the most Prestigeous 🇺🇲 one can hold... Let's assign these to Proud and Community driven Americans.. Regardless of Race, Color or Creed

    If it's not the gentleman helping me, there's always an issue. I tried shipping a 3 oz bottle and they told me that the minimum they can ship is 16 oz. I told her it was only 3 oz and she asked me why it was heavier and I told her that liquid normally comes in bottles and packaging. And if you can't ship it, fine, but at least explain instead of accusing me of lying. If I told you there was liquid in the box then Why would I need to be dishonest about anything else?

    I had a frustrating and unprofessional experience at this USPS location on August 15, 2025, at approximately 10:43 AM. I came to pick up a package after speaking with USPS customer service the day before (August 14), who confirmed the package would be available for pickup on the 15th. I had my photo ID and the delivery slip left at my door. While waiting in line, I observed Clerk #14 (female, wears glasses) treating multiple customers before me with blatant disrespect. She was unnecessarily loud, sarcastic, and dismissive—mocking customers' pronunciation, making rude facial expressions, and speaking down to them in a way that felt like public humiliation. She wasn’t there to help—she was there to perform control. When it was my turn, I greeted her with, “Good morning, I’m here to pick up a package,” and handed over my slip and ID. She went to the back, returned, and abruptly said the package wasn’t available, claiming, “It just came in yesterday.” When I began to explain that USPS customer service had already confirmed it would be ready today, she immediately cut me off and said—loudly—“Is it just me or do you guys not speak loud enough?” That wasn’t just rude—it was demeaning, said with full volume in front of every customer and coworker present. She followed that with personal comments to her coworker about “working on herself,” to which even the coworker asked whether that needed to be said out loud. If someone is truly “working on themselves,” it should never come at the expense of others’ dignity or experience. After that, I asked to purchase a booklet of stamps. Unlike other clerks at this same location who have been kind and thorough, she didn’t show any options or explain the designs. She held them to herself and flatly asked, “You want a bouquet?” as if I were annoying her by asking a basic question. I left the post office feeling disrespected, frustrated, and genuinely uncomfortable—not because of a single mistake, but because of repeated, deliberate rudeness from someone who clearly doesn’t want to be there. Clerk #14 displayed a complete lack of professionalism, self-awareness, or accountability. This was not just a bad day—it’s a pattern. I saw it in her interactions before mine. Other customers were also made to feel small for asking for help. This kind of conduct is unacceptable for a public-facing federal employee. I’ve submitted a formal complaint through the USPS website. It’s a shame that the complaint form limits comments to 1,000 characters because it doesn’t allow for a thorough explanation of incidents like this, which is needed for proper understanding and resolution. I strongly urge USPS management to review this clerk’s behavior and take appropriate action. If this is the tone being set at the Steinway location, it reflects poorly on USPS as a whole. Your customers deserve better.
