- MCMini CDec 24, 20251.0I’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.
- TRThaynara Alves RosárioNov 17, 20255.0We 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.
- RWRyan WayOct 18, 20251.0My package got here on schedule and then was delayed by two days.
- EJE JayOct 4, 20251.0EVER 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
- AAAmandaAug 7, 20251.0Some one is switching my name and address on the packages and they can't do a thing it' is illegal and I have evidence they just throw out
