- JJJuanAug 29, 20251.0Pretty low quality Post Office, Rude employees, almost all packages that get delivered via amazon or whatever will take 4 extra days to actually get put in your po box at this post office.
- JJJDAug 25, 20251.0Went there at 1130am today and they were closed due to no power, interesting there was power everywhere else in Alvin.
- KWKoree WoodsideJun 27, 20251.0They do not help me at all when they deliver my package to the wrong address. I can’t even get into my online account to change my address. So disappointed
- MNmona nDec 31, 20141.0Things have gone downhill in this post office in the last year or so when it seems the majority of former employees have been replaced. I have a PO box and they mis-box mail all the time. I wonder who is getting my mail when I find someone else's mail in my box. I get people's mail whose STREET address has my PO box number in it, even though their zip code is different. I got someone's bank checks this way. Most recently I did not get an Amazon order. Someone on the phone at the post office said "well the computer says it was delivered" and refused to look around in the back for it. A month later turns out my order WAS sitting in the back all this time and the only reason I got it is because another box came in for me that got put with the previous box. I came into the lobby one time to a customer having a screaming fit because she was getting sued due to her registered mail not reaching destination by a deadline. Someone was explaining to her "oh, we found your mail laying on the floor in the back, sorry".
