I had to rate a one star because it wouldn't let me give it no stars. I sent a simple birthday card in an envelope with a regular postage stamp to my sister who only lives in the next town east of me, and she didn't get it. Called the USPS and since there is no tracking on it, they said they could be of no assistance. So the birthday card AND the $50 gift card are just GONE… Thanks a lot USPS. Never sending ANYTHING via USPS again.

Rude, just plain rude
September 30, 2016

After having my packages returned to the city I sent them from (I moved across the country) no one gave me the information I needed. No one told me steps to figure out my situation and after a month I still haven't received my two packages. I paid a ridiculous amount of money to send them, and the last woman I spoke to at the LA office of customer affairs was TERRIBLE. She flatly sad, "sorry" after telling me I was basically screwed and would be unable to help me then just said "bye". USPS has NEVER ONCE delivered something to me that was on time or wasn't damaged by the end. I could write a novel about my experience with them and you wouldn't be able to find a single positive word. They've consistently lied to me, been rude to me, hung up on me, and were overall super unhelpful.

I was tracking a package and got concerned about the tracking info so i called the customer service number and left my callback number. They called back (earlier that they projected) and i got the most amazing customer service person. Her name is Benita, FFCN00 and she made me feel like I was the most important person she had to talk to and help.
She confirmed my information and tracking number and had an answer for me in a matter of minutes.
She was absolutly amazing!
Increased my confidence in our USPS service very much appreciated!

Unfortunately this is 2nd time USPS lost my package, Off course I did not insured them thus there is no way to put a claim that is crazy, they admitted and confirmed that they lost it thought there is no accountability.
No wonder UPS and Fed-ex are growing every day and sadly US post office is continuing their tribble services - Extremely disappointed.

I had to update my kids passport and the website clearly says, parents holding green card need not submit address proof. We just took our green cards to the Ellicott City branch with an appointment. The first lady that we went to was so rude and was talking to us in frustrating tone and wanted some address proof. She did not want to hear us out. We live very close to USPS and My husband said, he can very quickly get the address proof for her but she said, he cannot leave too. I don't know what her problem was. Then a nice colleague of her name Ayesha said that for parents with green cars, there is no need for address proof. Still the first lady was not ready to accept that. And very rudely she told Ayesha that "Then you might have to do this. I am not ready to handle this case". Thankfully, Ayeshe was very kind and took all the proofs that we had and was very polite while talking to us.
I wanted to tell the first lady I went to that she needs to update herself or else request the website to be updated as she wants.
And I wish there are people like Ayesha everywhere. This world will be a nice place.

Biggest loser Fair Haven mail carrier hangs on to your mail and lies about it saying, 'you were on vacation'... for 2 and 1/2 MONTHS. Who takes vacation that long all I can say is, DO YOUR JOB! YOU HAVE ONE JOB... JUST ONE... DELIVER THE MAIL!

USPS employees from the top to the bottom should be replaced. They do such sloppy jobs and with attitudes. Quite a lot of our certified mails never gotten delivered and they never be found either.

Mail Deliverer doesn't ring my apartment buzzer to inform me I have a package, and puts a delivery notice that I have to go to the Rogers Park post office to pick up my parcel. This has occurred AT LEAST 4 time, and I filed a report with the post office and nothing came of that. I have quite using USPS for my eBay dealings and now use The UPS Store.

Sorry USPS, major fail for this customer!

I worried about the post office closing because my little post office in New Mexico does a great job. But after dealing with the lazy, stupid slackers who run Yucca Valley I say WE DONT NEED THE POST OFFICE. UPS and FED EX actually BELIEVE in delivering your packages. Yucca Valley says WE DONT HAVE TO. When they don't deliver your packages and don't make a second attempt or final attempt.they just return it because their motto as far as more than ONE delivery attempt is WE DON'T HAVE TO. Lazy and stupid is a dangerous combo and probably why they keep the name of their postmaster a SECRET. I do a lot of business with Amazon and the biggest complaints they get are about the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE. Lots of complaints about packages being "lost", postal workers stealing packages, and just the general incompetence that drips from the top down.The Yucca Valley post office could evaporate tomorrow and it would be an improvement ton the landscape.

How tcan you say that my package was delivered 2 HOURS AGO when it very clearly wasn't. Or they'll say it was delivered but they just leave it outside the door despite there being a sign that says to bring it inside, I dont know where you get off lying like this but you need to stop and get your $#*! together.

Minus rating.
May 13, 2022

Had to give a 1 star rating as there is no option to give a minus rating. USPS are liars and don't do anything to fix non-deliveries once they hand off your package to the local post office.

Every Sunday when I have a delivery coming I open at 6am and I'm there until 6pm. The Sunday drivers NEVER even attempt the delivery. They feel since it is Sunday the business won't be open. 16 time this past year their Sunday drivers just blow off my deliveries.
The USPS needs to either educate these drivers or FIRE THEM for their incompetency.

I sent a package to my daughter. The postage was $15.50 for the first priority box. It was supposed to be delivered on 3/8/2021. However, my daughter received a slip instead. The slip stated she will have to go pick it up at the office location. By the way the location was far and rural. The postman told my daughter's roommate that we didn't pay for the postage. We went online to request a redeliver. However it says this office location will not be able to redeliver the package to her. First of all I paid $15.50 for the postage. Second, my daughter is a student and she doesn't drive. How does post office expect she can go to that rural location to pick the package up? Does the post office expect she spends $30 on Uber to pick up the package? This is very ridiculous!
Very obviously it was their fault because we have the receipt! It's ok we make mistake Sometimes because we are human. But post office should resolve the mistake/problem they made and redeliver the package to her. And make sure she received it as soon as possible. This is called "SERVICE". We paid what we should get. Post office should not request customer go pick it up because it was the problem they created! Especially during this COVID pandemic, my daughter has to find out how to get to that office location. This is absolutely not acceptable. We are very disappointed with their service :(
