Apparently you can't talk to an actual person when calling USPS. It has the most difficult system in place. I put in my tracking number over the phone thinking I would get an agent, and the stupid automated voice is still trying to "help" me. Why is it so hard to get an actual person! All I want is to talk to an actual person! God I hate USPS.

Wrost post office ever!
September 12, 2023

I wish I could give this post office zero stars. The workers are very rude, disrespectful and lazy. They get an attitude and suck their teeth when they have to go in the backroom to grab your deliveries They love to say that they attempted to deliver your package and that they left a slip in your mailbox, which they never. I have seen the drivers sitting in their truck and never step out to deliver the packages.

I don't know what's going on at my local post office ******* but the customer service is none existent. The letter carrier on my route rarely puts my main in my mailbox. My neighbor is constantly bringing my mail to me because the carrier puts my mail in their mailbox. Amazon has notified me a few times times that my package was delivered and when I go to mailbox the package isn't there, however the package always miraculously shows up 2-3 hours later inside of an old newspaper box that is on fence and is no longer in service. I have tried to call my local post office and no one answers the phone. I have went to my local post office to speak to management about this delivery issue and they are never available, I'm told to leave my phone number and they'll call me back and they never do.

The mail service is so poor. We don't have a mailman every day, they are so unhappy and many took early retirement! I've had missing mail and can't really count on usps. So sad trump and Dejoy destroyed an icon of service that has lasted centuries!

Damaged goods
March 26, 2022

I ordered a beautiful ring because it was my mother's birthstone, my mother passed away in January, kinda a daily reminder of her.
When I received the ring it had been damaged so bad I could not even wear it. So after waiting a month for this reminder of my loving mother, I was shattered to see that it could not even be worn.
I'm in tears writing this because no one could take an extra minute or two with a package instead you would rather deliver a package with an unsealed sticker, a hole in the package, and a damaged product.
With both my parents gone I don't have much to look forward to anyway so thanks for taking this from me too, because a replacement wasn't an option, all I could do was get a refund, that I have to wait 7 to 10 more days for. Then I can attempt to find another one that I have to wait another month for. Completely heartbreaking.

Absolute worst
December 18, 2020

Usps phone assistance is about the same as if you didnt call them at all. I thought at&t had bad phone service but they are no where near as pitiful as usps. No matter what button i pushed or repeated myself i could not get an agent on the phone. Its a rediculas piece of crap. Dont even waste your time trying to get assistance as you cannot get it.

Just a bunch of dishonest crooks. Who steal packages from children. Somehow the package( a well size box) decreased in weight to 0lbs 0 oz two hour north of its destination. Ended up two hours south of its destination. And then all the way on the other side of the country.

Their job was to deliver a package, instead, I was notified they were unable to deliver the package - even though they deliver the mail every day to this apartment complex. I called the number provided and through their automated system sent to a post office that does not handle my zip code. They provided me a number that I called 4 times with 4 different responses, none of which helped me find my item. Next, I was told that I was calling an emergency number and to never call it again, the number provided to me by a postal service worker. 3 days on and I am still trying to determine where this item is

9 days after tracking indicates arrival and cleared in Australia no delivery

Tracking updated yesterday as delivery attempted 4.32 am Australian time and delivery will be attempted later that day

I don't understand how 4.32 am in the morning makes sense... and there is no update that delivery was re attempted

I have sent two courteous emails in two days and no response

I now suspect the package is stolen... so I rate the usps service as unreliable and non responsive

I truly hate you guys now.
I paid extra to get important documents in 2 days, by the 26th of November. I still don't have it. The system shows it'll be MONDAY, 29th. REALLY? The holiday is for 1 day only. I paid for a reason and expected that to be on time. Ok, maybe one day later, but you people are Scammers: take money for extra service and never provide one!

This is the second time my package was delivered to the wrong mailbox within the community. The first time, the person who received it by mistake was nice enough to deliver it to me, but this second time, I was not as lucky! Their answer to me was you'll have to take the loss as there's no way we can retrieve it

Priority Mail
May 7, 2020

Sent a closing statement by priority mail and foolish me thought it would arrive at it's destination at least in 2 days. I know USPS is snail mail, but taking 4 days for priority mail to reach it's destination is shameful. I could of sent it regular mail and it would of got there faster

Unfair payment
July 25, 2022

I recently was trying to put in an application through the post office in my area when you fill out the profile it makes you pay money to continue to look for jobs this inconvenience people that don't have extra $89 to throw away when there's no jobs available in their area to apply for the refund should still apply for that reason not just if the post office doesn't hire you or if you fail all four level entries make sure you have extra money to give to them when you can't find a job through them cuz they won't refund it for that reason for not being able to find a job I do not recommend this unless you want to be a postal carrier lots of jobs for those though

They are the worst!
September 20, 2021

Just mailed an envelope this afternoon (Sept 20th) via USPS Priority mail 2 day service from Tallahassee Florida to Miami Florida. It is supposed to arrive no later than Wednesday but when looking at the tracking info they will not be delivering until Thursday. The regular mail arrives faster! What a joke! $8.00 FOR WHAT?!

Horrible Customer Service
February 26, 2020

Horrible customer service. Does not offer help but keep transferring me to the automated system during call. The automated system does not help with my specific situation which is why I am calling them. Very useless and lazy. Does not even bother listening to my situation.

This site is great for tracking a package that has been shipped. It is especially useful if the package needs a signature, because then you will have a better idea of when the package will arrive. It is also great for changing your address. It is super easy to do online, and then your mail is forwarded to your new address. Awesome service!

Last Saturday I mailed a small package from Southern Vermont to Connecticut. One weel later the package is not delivered. I tracked it and found the Springfield Mass. USPS location is the problem. They sent me three notices stating the package has left the facility on the 17th, 18th and 19th. How is that possible?
This is not the first time with this Center. December 2020 I had a Christmas present stuck at that Hub and didn't get it delivered till JANUARY 21st, 2021. They need new management. I will use UPS next time and all the time in the future. Seven days to gravel 100 miles?

Unreliable
July 17, 2021

I will never send or post an important mail through usps. My daughter sent her passport to Washington DC for a visa to travel. We talking about priority mail which is supposed to take 3days the passport ended up getting lost. We had to request for a new passport and the worse part was that after a month even though the mail was priority we received the mail AN EMPTY PRIORITY ENVELOPE. I mean why would they send it back to us empty. And it was all torn apart. They don't care. Pure negligence. This is an American passport my daughter's identity was stolen. Awful. They are unreliable

Never deliver on time
December 7, 2020

Amazon should tell the USPS to f*#k off and never use them again so they would go under once and for all. They NEVER deliver on time! Suck $#*! employees don't give a $#*! about customer service. Fed-ex and UPS mop the floor with their $#*! on a daily.
