This post office is extremely hard to contact. The phone rings for hours. I was a clerk. I worked the window, sorted mail, etc. There is absolutely no reason that they can NEVER answer the phone.
The reason I am calling... I recieved a notice my mailbox is full and the package could not be left. My box was not full and the package absolutely fits on my porch!

A customer (if you call it that) for over 20 years. I have seen things change over the years, and not for the better. This post office store has never been an issue to speak of. It's not perfect, but has been fairly decent over the years. Yes it is pretty small when you get more than a couple of customers at a time.
I wonder if Postal Service changes and mandates affect services and such, more than most folks figure. As such, nothing seems better. But plenty seems lacking compared to years ago.
Our local delivery person was wonderful for years. Not all that long ago, we started getting different delivery personnel. From that point forward we would get the neighbors mail constantly, and our mail wouldn't show up anywhere when it should. It can be pretty annoying to get a bill or invoice after the due by date.
Another thing that I personally find annoying is the fact that I constantly find the door to our mailbox open. A lot of times I find the mail on the ground, wet from rain or both. I have mentioned it both to multiple drivers and the post office itself. Yet they kept doing it.
I checked the mailbox door many times to make sure the magnet holds the door shut, in case that was the problem. The magnet works well and holds the door tightly closed, every time. I finally watched and noticed some drivers just slapping the door shut as the driver pulls away. As they drive away, the door just falls back open, thus my constant open door. I have mention it over and over, but yet it keeps happening.
It seems to me like there's no pride in doing the job with the newer delivery personnel. Actually, it seems like there's no pride in anything having to do with this post office anymore. So I wonder if it's a bad attitude because of the working conditions at the post office, or just bad attitudes with folks not wanting to provide the service that they're paid to provide.
