    There is nobody answering the door. I’ve never experienced such a poorly operated USPS.

    The way this office runs is awful. I’ve been living in Lehigh valley for a long time, this is not normally the office my packages get sent to. This is the first time my package accidentally got sent to this office from the sorting facility, and they lost it. The person in line before me also had a lost package from this same office.

    HORRENDOUS! Mail is delivered to the wrong addresses. The personnel do not answer the phone. Nor do they return voice mail messages left by residents. I encourage everyone to lodge complaints, on line and or by phone regarding the location.

    Forwarded my package to a random address in Allentown, I don’t even live anywhere near Allentown, all without my consent. No phone call text or anything. Effectively stealing my package. Tired of these shady delivery drivers getting away with doing whatever they want
