- THTony HuangMar 11, 20242.0I go to USPS regularly only because it is around the corner from me. Service is unbelievable slow, specifically John. I've come with the same drop off for months.. at this point should be recognized and routine. However for some reason, it takes double the time than at other locations. Other clerks are better, but when John is working, expect a line up.
- JCJade CeeSep 28, 20181.0My package was stolen because the carrier failed to put my package in my mailbox. The supervisor Sterling contacted me after I filed a claim. He told me he will contact the carrier and get in touch with me . I called 2 times after that and they told me he wasn't there he will call me back still still no response. I called today and Sterling says that the carrier didn't put my stuff in the mailbox and he left it on top. The supervisor knew this for days before telling me had me left wondering where my stuff is. I will never use them again. And if it isn't obvious already they aren't going to help me I can't even get a refund
- CSCharlie SanchezFeb 21, 20171.0Horrible horrible.. takes hours for customer service support. Even when talking to representatives they're not much help and have the meanest attitude, it's like they try to get rid of people quickly.. work effort. No words.. They always leave a notice saying they "attempted to deliver" knowing they didn't try. I waited all day and the mail lady gave me a notice knowing no package was delivered.... smh 🤦🏼♂️ 👎🏼📦
