- GGgrayxousNov 13, 20251.0just awful unhelpful people. had to escalate to corporate to confirm they were holding a package that they were refusing to give to me for some reason.
- PPPappu PagerOct 4, 20251.0Most of the time my delivery delays by a couple of days and in some cases by a week.
- SPSam PedenSep 22, 20251.0These was such an infuriating experience. They mistaking sent my package back to the sender and then ignored my service request.
- JSJohn SAug 22, 20251.0Stop losing my packages!! This is at least the 5th package in the past two years that has been delivered to the wrong box. BTW I'm an old fogie who prefers to be able to see an item in person before buying. I've probably only had less than 10 packages delivered via USPS in the last 2 years.
- RFR-N-F FarmsJul 7, 20251.0Because you can't do zero stars, lines at the post office are unreal on being slow, rual delivery is a complete joke, never get your mail, maybe a Neighbors or at least someone on your road.... Even worse when there are sub running routes.
