Had issue with an agent that processed my mail pkg incorrectly & as a result it was not delivered. Instead of providing me with the adequate mailer, agent just threw it in with outgoing mail because the agent had already put mailage cost on it.
When questioned about the whereabouts of the package, the agent became combative after asking for a supervisor.
AGENTS SHOULD KNOW how a pkg should be classified, mailed & charged.

When I track a package I am expecting it shows that it arrived at this post office on Sept 14th. It's Sept. 26th and it is still sitting there. Obviously this place needs a supervisor so employees can do some work. Do you wonder why people prefer private companies?

I arrived twenty minutes early and waited until it opened at nine. Exactly four minutes after nine, a female staff member came through the side door to open the main entrance. I was second in line, so I didn’t have to wait long. When I reached the counter, I was surprised to see the same woman who had opened the door was also serving behind the counter. Although a queue was building up, she was the only staff member assisting customers. I was glad to be near the front, as I wouldn’t have been pleased waiting further back. Nevertheless, this sole staff member was polite, professional, and handled everything promptly, making my experience a positive one.
