I have scheduled pickups often I put the flag up in my mailbox and the postman drives up puts the flag down and does not take my schedule pickup packages and moves along several times this has happened trying to call and see why is senseless as the phone just rings and rings with no answer 99% of the time

Post office was closed no note on the window. At 4pm yesterday (day after labor day) I had a certified mail I needed to sign for and they didn’t knock. My dog would have gone insane barking had they knocked. They left a notice in my mail box. I’ll try again today. But I won’t be making a ton of stops to get that mail if they fail to remain open during business hours.
