- GRGlen RoachNov 10, 20251.0Can NOT reach anyone at the post office!! Nothing but a recording Keep saying "AGENT" & nothing but same recording over & over Post office sucks!!!
- NMNoël MatthiasSep 10, 20251.0Extreme incompetence - the old guy gives out wrong info about how shipping/held for pickup works and I spent much more time just trying to figure things out. Waste of time for nothing. He should just go home if he can’t do the job.
- NNNinnjetteSep 5, 20251.0I don't know what is going on at the Charlottesville USPS, three packages in a row this week three different packages on three different days getting Mis-Shipped to different areas all over Virginia. It's supposed to hit Charlottesville and then get delivered to me, one they sent to Norfolk, one they sent out to Fredericksburg, the other they sent to Louisa. If it's machines doing it they need to be fixed, if it's people doing it they need to be fired. Absolutely ridiculous, how incompetent. Now I have to wait a few more days for all 3 to come back to Richmond, then back to Charlottesville and just hope they get it right this time. Just incompetent people.
- STSusan TempleApr 15, 20205.0I love the downtown post office! Friendly, helpful service!
- LGLeah GardnerAug 1, 20183.0Lots of days with no mail delivered or picked up from our mailbox. Not sure what I have to do to get my mail every day but the fact that they won’t even pick it up is a problem. This could make me late on bills. As for the post office itself, so far so good.
