    They never attempted to deliver my package and said I requested to hold it at the post office. Very sad that the postal service is blatantly lying.

    Time and time again, this post office disappoints. They haven’t had a postmaster in 4 months. Cancel every appointment you make without notice. So bad, they have pre printed sheets they give you to go to other places that can fix their mistakes.

    The delivery personnel aren’t scanning the packages when they deliver them! We keep getting packages that aren’t ours and to the wrong addresses. 🤦🏻 I called the facility to have the mail carrier come back and drop everything off at the correct address, but no one came to pick it up. 🙄 Arghhh… get it together, USPS!!!

    I keep getting mail past the dates of what my stuff is due. It's not letting me add a picture but today the 2nd of Dec I just received mail for Kohl's for black Friday shopping coupons that expire November 29th clearly should have been delivered weeks ago. Also this has happened multiple times with my stuff from social services that I need to renew for benefits and I've lost benefits bc of there incompetence
