- HPHaunted Property'sOct 2, 20251.0She 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.

- ISInfinite SummerOct 19, 20221.0Coming from a bigger city to a small town you would think they would be able to handle doing the mail properly. However this is by far the WORST post office I have encountered. The ladies running the place are the most incompetent people I've ever met. They should all be fired and replaced with people that know how to process mail properly. It's not that hard to read an address and think. Not all businesses ship to PO Boxes unfortunately. They should know about Street Addressing since it's under the official USPS website. But of course these lazy workers wouldn't know that.
