Can you believe it’s 9:53 on Monday morning, November 10th, at the post office on 726 Utica Ave, and there’s only one customer service worker on duty? This is really unacceptable. The line is long, and there are no other employees in sight. Where are our tax dollars going? This is truly appalling.

The absolute worst post office and its such a shame that it is predominately Black and Brown neighborhoods that face the disrespectful and disgusting behavior/work ethics from our OWN people.
Many times, my packages go undelivered. Or in a recent case, they stated they attempted to deliver my mothers package only for us to learn that not only did they not deliver it … but it was OPENED. How disingenuous and sickening and such an invasion of privacy.
I also must add that we are now currently dealing with a package that has gone missing and every time my mother calls to speak with someone, she is left on hold.
This post office has been bad for years and clearly we are all letting it be known but nothing is happening. Now when things change in the neighborhood… dont complain. Sometimes we are our own downfall. Do better!

By Far this is the worst post office, not even worth one star. Multiple times they have falsified information stating they attempted to deliver but never did nor left proof of attempted delivery. This post office needs new management and staff. Smh
