The frequency that this post office is closed on fridays for “servers down” / technical problems or “power outages” is comical at this point. When they are open, some days it feels like an inconvenience to have customers. Granted, they deal with the worst of attitudes from the general public and are probably understaffed, but the government should do a bit better if that’s the case.

This is the worst post office in Nashville. I have had nothing but horrible experiences there. I no longer send anything through the post office. Honestly by their treatment of me they forced me to write fewer checks and pay online which is cost effective. Also I now only use UPS and FedX for everything. People are pleasant and packages are delivered on time and undamaged.

I wish I could leave -5 stars. My address was deemed vacant, though there was no change of address form complete because I still reside at the same address. It feels immoral and borderline illicit to fail to deliver someone’s packages and mail. The person that called could also stand to take a hospitality class considering they deal with public. Being snarky and snide is uncalled for when someone is tracking undelivered (and now missing) items.

I sometimes have to come on the weekend to ship things and I ride the bus and it’s very inconvenient to get here and the kiosk won’t allow you to print a label out to ship your package.

Constantly receive missed delivery package slips (in my mailbox) and I work at home. Since I moved to the area I have never seen an actual delivery attempt made to our front door.
