- LKLouella KovacsSep 16, 20231.0Counter people are nice but I was told getting mail with be hit or miss. How can I function with not getting checks with that kind of answer
- CCChrisMay 19, 20222.0Sadly, I must say our post office is getting worse, not better. Please note: this review isn’t about the STAFF at the post office...they have all been quite friendly and accommodating since about 5 years ago. My problems with this post office are lack of consistency in mail delivery and office hours. First off, I was informed, by a staff member, the post office does not meet current USPS requirements to qualify for a FULL TIME delivery agent. What does this mean??? Well, as it was explained to me...full time letter carriers get assigned a full time route. They have a certain amount of time to complete their assigned route, but if they finish early they can go home for the day, still getting paid for the full day. Part-time routes like Laurys Station’s are picked up by full time carriers who have already finished their own route, and I don’t understand how this is true BUT they apparently don’t get paid to deliver the extra route. So getting people to cover our route is not necessarily an ‘easy’ task. Some days my mail has been delivered by 11, others by 9:30PM! 8 years ago when I moved here, we HAD a full time carrier who was AWESOME...I could set my watch by the time she delivered my mail...10:30am EVERY day! Now it’s just a complete joke. For over a week in January, we didn’t have a carrier at-all, and I had to go to the post office to pick up my mail every day. Today, I went to drop off a priority package at 10:15am. Surprise...the post office has changed its hours...11-5 m-f, with something on Saturday I didn’t take notice to. Ok, now 8 years ago, the counter agent took a 2 hour lunch from 12pm-2pm...right in the middle of lunch rush. Then they changed the hours to 10-5 with one hour lunches. Now they cut lunch out but don’t open until 11???? This is just getting out of control. I am for trying to accommodate the desires of employees, but if that is why the sudden, and undocumented online (Google still has them open at 10am), change in operating hours, at what cost to the postal customer is this being done? I had to drive 15 miles to go to a different post office! With the price of gas, this is now costing way too much to use the USPS; I might as well just use FedEx...it will be cheaper in the end.
- MHMark HargroveAug 26, 20214.0This is a review going into the post office and mailing packages. This is a fine experience. Usually there is no line. The folks that are there usually there are quite helpful and friendly. Every once in a while there is equipment failure so they can't take our money, their computers don't work, etc. There is quite another experience about actually getting our mail delivered, but I don't think that's what you want to hear about.
- STStephanie TumminelloJun 8, 20215.0This isn’t my home post office but I go here all the time to mail things and I love it! So nice and helpful. I honestly don’t like my home post office only the driver
