Always late, packages constantly lost in mail. Whenever this occurs, their excuse is “should be by the door”

I'm really surprised at the negative reviews here. I've mailed quite a few packages, and they were always thorough. No problems with the mail at any location I've resided at in their service area. Have had experience with Ronnie and Chris, and they've both been phenomenal. Amherst Jct. is equally as good.

Postal Worker wouldnt give me our package. Wasnt busy at the time. Went in back area while I was trying to talk to her (Had ID and lived at residence). Horrid attitude. Wouldnt give me full name besides "Barb". Overall delivery to mailboxes isnt much better. Biggest issue is the rudeness that a couple employees seem to have. Might be a small town but there isnt any charm in the post office. Maybe get a PO box in Steven's Point and save yourself a sour experience.
