- EDE DNov 11, 20255.0Lavonne and Carmen of the Downingtown, PA USPS office were outstanding in keeping me posted about a "missing" package. They went above and beyond to keep me informed of its whereabouts. Thank you for your great customer service!
- CDChristian DOct 29, 20251.0Got literally yelled at on the phone tonight for asking simple questions about my mail status
- JMJim MasonOct 22, 20251.0The only reason for 2 stars is the office staff are great, my wife loves them. Your delivery staff are lazy and have no regard for package delivery. They drive down my driveway and throw packages out the window of their delivery trucks. This is multiple times, reported multiple times. They parked right in front of the sign on the wall of my garage that states deliver all packages to front porch. See the video and picture. Box was a vintage headlamp for a motorcycle that broke because the box was thrown from the postal delivery person. Ok, down to one star-here’s another failure from post office delivery driver, same one, Even after drivers manager stated it was addressed with this driver. So here we go again, driver backs down my driveway, over my lawn, delivers a package in my driveway, right in front of sign stating all packages to front pourch. My wife went out and reminded driver not to pull in our driveway and deliveries to front pourch. She got back into truck and said got it- incorrect, she ain’t got it. Obviously post office manager didn’t have a discussion or this driver doesn’t care - probably both. See photo and another video.
- JGJ GOct 18, 20251.0Dont know what time my mail is delivered. Can be anywhere from 3 pm to as late as 9pm. Packages/mail going to wrong address, both mine and others. So far only 1 Package never received. Lobby scanner are open 24 hours but many times the drop box is locked. Sometimes even while operating hours. Tracking Packages can be frustrating at times also but that's the whole system
- SNSoudeh NargesiSep 7, 20251.0«This is the second time my order to California and Seattle has not arrived on time. and I will no longer do business with this company.
