- BHBelinda HarperJul 21, 20251.0Rude. Not open on time according to posted hours. No updated notes added to door.
- MDMark DeQuasieApr 20, 20241.0Throughout the week it's great. I never have any issues. I am getting sick and tired of notifications that an item has been "put in the customer's mailbox", and it shows delivered. I go out and check, and 50-75% of the time it's not in there. I get it the next day or on Monday. Saturday mail service is a joke. I don't think they could be any lazier. I also love when they walk 4 feet from my front door, and then just toss my package when it clearly says fragile or handle with care. If these people don't want to work on the weekends, find some other people that do. This weekend service sucks.
- COCharlie O'HalloranApr 26, 20211.0If you have to send something to someone in Parkersburg, I would go out of your way to AVOID this post office!!! I sold a poster to someone who lives in Parkersburg. I sent it in a box, and it got sent back to me with a message saying additional postage needed to be paid/the buyer did not answer their door. First of all, I know that I charged the right amount for shipping, as I have sent several posters in the past. Second of all, the buyer watched the delivery man come to his house, and he didn't even have a package. To avoid this from happening again, I sent it back in a bubble-wrap envelope. This envelope was clearly too big to fit in a mailbox, and I made sure to get it covered with "fragile" and "do not bend" stamps. However, the delivery man shoved it into the buyer's mailbox, completely destroying the poster. Not only is the buyer really disappointed, but now I can't get paid for it. Their delivery is completely careless and unacceptable. I've filed a complaint with USPS.
