It is 6:35 and still no mail. Why is it that our mail comes so late? This is not occasionally but mail usually comes at 6:00 or so every night.

Very bad customer service is correct. I have experienced what Nick has mentioned in his review first hand and on many occasions. Gates location on Howard Rd this is regarding. Not the other locations. Winton has the very best service.
"Reposting Nick's review: The guy that wears his mask is rude and a smart ass. The other lady is also rude and speaks to everyone in a mean tone. They love making people feel like dumbasses. Like just take my package and ship it , if you hate your job just quit. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Absolute garbage customer service."

They close all the packaging and products 30 min before close and decided to lock up the doors 5 min before close.

I'm so sick of my packages getting stolen from your workers! It's been almost a month and still no tracking updates! Ridiculous that our items can be stolen whenever they feel like taking our stuff and just stop the tracking!
