I been going to this post office since I was one year old with my family and mail delivery was bad back then too. Recently we got a new mail person and station manger as things were even better and with our new mail people; but... Recently mail has been not delivered, missing, or giving to the building next door at Tideways at 3363 Sedgwick Ave. I spoke with mail agents who say the route is too long and now split up between 4 people. I have not gotten my mail in a month and I need my bills to keep records for HRA and UIB Unemployment as I am now on public assistance being SLD Learning Disabled and can't find work that works for a person with my version of SLD Learning Disabilities as many feel my one version Dyslexia cause due harm as reading is a little slower for me and everyone wants to move fast not fully caring where things go in general. I love the people in the postoffice, but we need people knowing that an Irish last name is not the same as a Spanish last name. Also a 4 and a 6 are not the same as we get Tideways too..
Please no retaliation as it just then tells me that someone hates me for no reason cause I found some ex coworkers work at this location and I know one would not do this to me as I really didn't get to know the others..
I will update after things change, but for now its been a month with no mail..

This is the worst post office ever. I lived in Kingsbridge all my life, this post office NEVER has enough staffers, never enough management. Be prepared for this to be AT LEAST AN 30MIN - HOUR TRIP. Doesn’t matter the time of day and the attitudes?! Oh don’t get me started you would’ve thought we forced them to be there. And then the customers don’t get me started . This needs to be fixed or this location needs to be closed down it’s ridiculous yall have 1.8 stars !!!! What are we talking about. Even in this picture 1 staffer at 4pm middle of the day on a TUESDAY !

What a disservice to the community to provide painfully slow service. USPS locations in other communities don’t deal with bullet proof glass, dirty floors, and two workers servicing a line of 10-15 people at any time.

The worst USPS I’ve ever been to. Everyone here need to get fired, nobody is doing their jobs. They have 7 windows and only one person working there the whole time, and I can tell that they’re doing this on purpose because their garbage excuse of a “supervisor” came out laughing about it today. This place needs to be sued.
