    If I could rate it a 0 I would, 1 is too generous. One employee is constantly rude and gives an attitude. I sell on Mercari and eBay and I’ve never had an issue with dropping things off before. This woman tells me that the pricing on the labels aren’t correct and continues to offer no way to help me with the issue. I told her I’ve dropped off envelopes like this before and no one has had a problem and my buyers have had no issues receiving items. She asked the other employee who says it’s fine, she continues to scoff and shake her head at me while putting them in the bin, not scanning them, and trying to take another customer. I asked her if it was good and if I could go and she just gave me more of an attitude and said “well she said they were fine”. I just walked out. She was also rude and unprofessional with the other people in line she “helped”. I’ve never had to deal with someone so rude and unprofessional EVER.

    Thursday evening, close to business hour ending time, there were 7–8 people waiting in line. Unfortunately, the employee assisting with mail spent a long time chatting with a customer, which slowed things down significantly. Even with many people waiting, the process continued at a very slow pace, and there was little movement in the line for nearly 20 minutes. I eventually had to leave without mailing my package. I understand wanting to be helpful, but being more mindful of the line—especially near closing time—would greatly improve the customer experience.

    Because zero stars doesn't work. Both locations I have booked an appointment for have been unsuccessful and staff extremely unprofessional. Allentown Post Office on Hamilton St cancelled my appointment the morning of. Lehigh Valley Post Office in Bethlehem appointment was scheduled and confirmed, however when I arrived the staff was completely unprofessional and unwilling to assist or even acknowledge my appointment. Complete waste of time, money and PTO hours for work.
