USPS is terrible. I want to add the building code so my package can be delivered properly. With Amazon, I can simply do it on the app. With USPS I tried calling and can’t get to a representative. Then went in person to the post office and the rep said she wasn’t sure if she could do it, but she would wrote it on a piece of paper and said she’d hand it to the driver, hah! Such an analog and outdated system.

Clearly their workers don't know how to act, they're scanning packages then stealing THE PACKAGES. Even though it says delivered through my phone and I need a key to open my mailbox...I'm sure nobody from my building took my package that I brought over $100 worth of items to have, USPS THIS SERVICE, to take my package back. This company is playing games with this SHUTDOWN

The folks who work here are half kind and helpful, and half the most condescending, unpleasant people you'll deal with that day. If you get the wrong person, their lack of organization and clarity becomes everyone else's problem - and they'll act like it's your fault. Go somewhere else if you can.
