This post office is an absolute joke! If you live in an apartment complex, GOOD LUCK! I’ve been way too nice every time I’ve had an issue and it’s gotten me nothing but more lost packages and lost money! USPS has cost me over $200 in the last 2 months due to mysteriously “lost” packages or delivering them to the completely wrong apartment! Finally thought we had the issue straightened out, got my mail correctly for all of about 2 weeks and here we go again! They have lost/misdelivered a total of SIX packages of mine over the last month or 2, and have absolutely nothing to reimburse me except tell me to contact the seller/shipper! This is getting RIDICULOUS!!

The mail and package delivery is really bad. These carriers would never survive the weather up North! They can’t deliver if it rains or a tiny skiff of snow. The carriers always say your package was delivered but it’s not there, they act like they will melt in the rain. Sorry post office should be closed!

The people that deliver mail for this post office are some of the most incompetent people I have ever had the misfortune to come in contact with. They throw packages to the front door so they dont have to take a few extra steps, they cram packaged that do not fit in the mail box in it, and they will just leave packages in the driveway. So they have broken glass items, they have left things that shouldn't get wet in a cardboard box in the driveway to get rained on, and have crammed things so tightly in the mail box that I had to rip a box apart to even get it dislodged.
*EDIT* After multiple complaints the lady that delivered mail to my office has become much nicer, and actually picks up the mail now. Unfortunately, the carrier that delivers to my house still thinks leaving mail in my driveway is a great idea. I have complained about multiple damages because of this because I have a covered front porch that is only a few steps farther, but that carrier is lazy and would rather ruin my mail/packages than take a few extra steps. A few weeks ago they slid a box across the hood of my car, and left all of my mail sitting on the hood of my car.
