Went after New Year's Day. It was a little busy. They were short staffed and someone was out to lunch. At least they informed the customers. Also the gentlemen who was cleaning the waiting area was polite and helping customers.

Please stop sending packages to 11214 when they are already at the correct 11219 post office. Not the first time. I mean, I know 4 and 9 kind of look similar, but this does not make any sense. And now, instead of getting delivered yesterday, the package went to 11214 and now it is back at the distribution center. And I guess it will come back to 11219 again. And from there I hope they will deliver it and not send it again to 11214.

The worker “Privilege” needs to be fired. He is rude, disrespectful, and a menace. The postman doesn’t do his job either.

I'm so sick of this place. Just drop off 2 packages and they never got scanned. I cannot make a claim because they lost it before they even scanned it. I literally lost hundreds of dollars from those 2 packages. This is not the first time. It has happen multiple times throughout the years. I will never come back here again... I'm going to switch my business to UPS.
