Had my flag up and a clearly labeled and marked TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE human specimen return kit in my mailbox to be picked up Saturday morning. They decided NOT to take it and put the incoming mail on top of it!! Because of their negligence it sat in the mailbox all day with temperatures exceeding 105 degrees…it's now TRASH and I have to contact the company and wait for another one to be delivered to redo the sample and send it in again. I NEEDED THESE TEST RESULTS ASAP and now this has set me behind weeks on getting treatment.

Update from a year ago:
I adore the two that I've run into, today and last Thursday just one of these two. Wish I remembered their names. So pleasant, thorough and professional. Thank you both!

Noticed a lot of negative reviews so I'm going to leave a positive one but because there should be. The ladies that work at this location are very good, quick and in my opinion understaffed. I appreciate them being there and providing great service despite probably being underpaid and understaffed. This is not an easy job. There is so much to learn and do. So, thank you girls as so many take for granted all you do (not just what customers see) and simply being open to our small town.

Mail is constantly delivered to the wrong address and I am always receiving other people's mail. I have never experienced this problem in the numerous places I have lived around the country. For such a wonderful town with so many wonderful businesses, this is a serious disappointment.

Delivery mail oficial keeps delivering wrong mail to my address. After several complaints, nothing seems to change. Is pathetic that I have already turned in a few packages back to the post office that where deliver to me by mistake. I understand people make mistakes, but over, and, over again? I once received an open package that a neighbor received by mistake under my name and was kind to return it. Mailing services are not free, we pay for them, so we need reliable workers at this specific post office.

I vote to shut down the USPS welfare office in Bellville TX (as well as the Houston USPS). Man at USPS office desk in Bellville says they do not deliver packages They only delivery orange slips for you to pick up your package at USPS office. When I moved, I placed a forwarding address change order. I only received a few packages that had been in route. Most of the packages were delivered to my old address and were not forwarded. This was 2 weeks after the address change order had been made. 3 packages were forwarded. After that, 6 were not after the three were forwarded.
