I realize I live at the end of a route, but when Mail does not get delivered one day for whatever reason ,they’re short help, the weather we should be first the next day. I haven’t received mail for two days and there was a holiday in between, but I still get my mail at 5:30 move us up to first if you skip a day. I don’t need mail six days a week, but I do need consistent service. I have informed delivery, there must be at least 15 pieces of mail waiting for it to be delivered.

This location is in my town. My family has been coming here since we moved here in 2001. The clerks have always been very helpful to us. I've also never had a problem with my packages. Keep in mind that this place probably has low reviews because nobody reviews a post office unless something bad has happened. In fact the only reason I am leaving this review is because of all the negative reviews. For 19 years the people here have been nothing but friendly.

New Hyde Park USPS is beyond atrocious; every interaction I have had with ANY employee there has been disgraceful. I spend $55,000 - $60,000 in shipping through the USPS. The employees at the New Hyde Park, NY post office on Second Street continually try to intimidate me to not drop off my packages there anymore. On several occasions, they have told me to take my shipments elsewhere. One can only postulate that they wish to do the least amount of work possible in order to get their salary. I find the attitude of these USPS employees to be reprehensible.
The reason why USPS has to keep raising rates is to compete with other shipping companies. Perhaps, if their employees behaved better and were concerned with providing customer service, as the USPS did 30 years ago, maybe more people would use them as a shipping and mailing service again. What, sincerely, has gone wrong here?
What I do know is that New Hyde Park, NY USPS is horrendous and the employees should be ashamed. I know that I, personally, and embarrassed for each and every one of them.

People working there get annoyed when you ask them a question. Especially if you interrupt them while they were gossiping. They'll give you a dirty look.
