Didn’t deliver a package nor did they leave a slip in my mailbox. Only put “
Customer asked for mail to be kept at post office.” So 5 days later, finally picked up package, lady at post office said “we just put that if it can’t be delivered “ asked then why didn’t they leave a slip notifying that they have my package? She couldn’t answer. Not the first time they don’t do their job correctly

Went recently to get a new passport. The woman that helped me was very friendly and helpful. She reviewed my form thoroughly and pointed out a few things i had missed. It only took a few minutes.

She didn’t give me a single return receipt. Throwing packages all over. I need my receipt three returns on Oct 2nd at 2:00 pm. I know there is cameras. Three separate packages that have not been marked as returned in the system but were. She’s the “manager”.
New update they’re saying one package never shipped. And I don’t have the receipt to prove I returned it even though I did.
I need my receipt that was Oct 2nd around 2 pm. I need a manager to go into the system and reprint it.
