I’m totally disgusted with USPS. I find the front counter on McKnight Road in Pittsburgh to be laughable; I can count on package delivery to be, at best, dysfunctional around the holidays with packages sitting for days at the Nashville Distribution Center.

We would like to thanks Jerry for helping me and my husband. After trying several other USPS locations without any success, you were the only one who really solved our problem. We truly appreciate your kindness and dedication.

EVER SINCE WE GOT THESE NEW MAILMEN ON CHARLES ST, OUR MAIL IS COMING LATER AND LATER. THERE IS NO REASON MY MAIL SHOULD REACH MY HOME AT 6:00 pm. ALL THIS MONEY THEY’RE BEING PAID AND THEY CANT EVEN DELIVER THE MAIL ON TIME. MY LAST MAILMAN CAME EVERY SINGLE DAY AT 11:00am NO LATER THAN 12:00pm, NOW MY MAIL COMES ANYTIME AFTER 4:30 pm I’M SICK OF THIS UNPROFESSIONAL BUSINESS
