- MMMary Ann MahoneyOct 15, 20251.0I had a box to be delivered, and instead of delivering it to my home, they shoved the box into my mailbox so tight, no one can get it out. I filed a claim, and asked for the mail person to remove it, but it is still there 2 weeks later.
- JKJeanni KistlerJun 8, 20232.0They can't seem to deliver my mail to MY door. They always put it infront of a neighboring apartment and then my neighbor has to finish their job for thrm. The last 2 packages I got had been opened and taped shut. The post master told me because my apartment is in an inner hallway, the carrier can't come inside the building to deliver my mail to my door. I always have to go on a hunt to find my mail every day and just hope it's all there. They also won't go through road construction to deliver mail. She-said, "They yell at her. And won't let her through." I know that's a lie. I talked to the road crew. They denied it.
- ARAndrew RoseDec 13, 20191.0This post office is a joke, everyone has a bad attitude. God forbid you call to ask if there is a problem because your mail is always in your box before 10:30am and it is now after 12:00pm.
