- ETEdward TeechDec 24, 20221.0Here I am, in my house on Christmas Eve. Expecting a last minute package for my son. When I go to check the update, it says “no secure delivery location was available.” I can’t believe the incompetence of this driver! I checked the front and back of my house and it looked secure to me! Horrible service! This is the second time this has happened to me, and of course it had to happen on Christmas Eve!! Thanks!
- MBMichael BradyFeb 10, 20221.0I'm sure they're lovely people and I have a lot of time for and appreciation of the USPS. That said, the automated phone system that defends them against talking to you is the worst I've ever dealt with, and it's not even close. Good luck!
