US Post Office

After I paid $ 40 to ship 3 packages of cookies to my loved ones for Valentines Day, the woman clerk threw all 3 packages across the room into a bin. This is after I told her what was in the boxes. The least she could have done was walk the boxes the few feet to the bins and handle them with care. This is a regular clerk that I have seen every time I’ve paid a visit to this post office. So I’m sure she’ll see this and know who I’m talking about, as will the rest of the (small) town that has to deal with this woman’s lack of respect and poor customer service. Each time I’ve tried to ship books using the Media rate I’ve been treated with suspicion, and about seventy five percent of the time the books have been lost in transit regardless of how well I’ve packed them. It’s no wonder with the way these clerks treat the packages that we entrust to the post office for safe mailing. This is the reason the US Post Office will eventually go out of business. Lack of trust, and poor handling of public property.
Because my carrier has Saturdays off, substitutes are entrusted with our mail and I can’t tell you how many times I have received mail that belongs elsewhere, that clearly is addressed to someone else. Mail is thrown in my box without care, and almost all the time wet due to poor handling in damp climate. If someone receives my mail in error, who knows if they will leave it for the carrier, or toss it in the trash. I have not received important correspondence and I’m sure its due to mishandling of the mail. But if you complain, it will make things 100 times worse. Someone is responsible for this post office, and they are doing a very poor job of managing it.
