I am trying to find out how to file a complaint and the damn website makes it hard to do just that. The link it provides is broken and the complaint I want to make is my postman moving my trashcans onto the sidewalk so he can park his postal truck there when their is clearly empty spaces all around my block!! IF YOU ARE GOING TO MOVE SOMEONES TRASHCANS ATLEAST PUT THEM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET NOT ON THE SIDEWALK. I didnt get to say anything to him because I didnt see til after what happened. Educate your drivers. That moron left my trashcans like that and I had to move em myself. I will go down to the office. Moron. His truck number is 1266950

Was the mail delivered today? Saturday, June 13, 2020? Because I looked for the mail van several times today from 10:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 12:00 PM, 12:30 PM, 1:00 PM, 1:30 PM, 2:00 PM, 2:30 PM, 3:00 PM. I did not see the mail van nor the mail person at all. I am waiting for my EDD payment card, and about five to seven packages to arrive. By the way. I am supposed to have three packages, one coming from "Wish Shopping," a small handheld voice recorder, more likely in a small package. I ordered on April 13, 2020, and it is way overdue, was to be delivered May 21, 2020. Two packages from "Geek Shopping," maybe two packages, small, extra long phone charging cords. One is due June 22, 2020, the other is due June 26, 2020. Please check and see if my stuff is not there. Paul Howard Duran 9332 Pellet St. Downey, CA. 90241. (562) 441-7177.

I am really upset my mail has been put in my upstairs neighbors mailbox. I keep getting my other neighbors mail as well. The boxes and names are clearly labeled and I’m sure postmen they paid to do their job. I am not one to give bad reviews but it’s getting quite ridiculous. Especially a package from my mother! What if that neighbor wasn’t trustworthy?

Post Office on Lakewood, Downey....I've gone to this post office for years and have always gotten great service from Maria and Pete. They both are very knowledgeable, helpful and caring. Their job is demanding and they do a great job serving everyone. Annette

My house is very hard to find, so I get that they have a hard time. I was expecting a package, they noted "Held at Post Office by customer request" - this was not true. I called & spoke with Melissa, and she was fantastic at helping me figure out how to note where my house is. Additionally, she plans to come see for herself where the house is so she can be sure the description in the P.O. system will be clean to any P.O. employee who tries to deliver to me. I am thrilled that Melissa works there & is willing to go above & beyond to help clear things up. Thank you, Melissa!!!

I live at 7215 Fontana St., Downey, Calif. 90241. For a few months now I have not been receiving all my mail. Many companies have been calling me to tell me my bills are delinquent. I always mail my bills. Many of my letters are never delivered. I have to put stop payments on my checks because you don't deliver my letters. I called the Imperial Hwy Post Office this morning and explained my problem. I was told that they would email you my phone number so that i could explain my problem. You never called me. You never answer your phone. I am really disgusted with you horrible service. I will be forced to complain to the General Postmaster if you don't take care of this problem. Your service is horrendous. Lucia Daley

Terrible!! I've been trying to reach the Downey, CA main post office (Firestone Blvd) all day . Since 9am there has been no answer. Just automated operator telling me nobody is available. I call the 800 number and it's the same thing. After dealing with such terrible service it is easy to see why nobody ships via USPS anymore. I wish there were a way to give negative stars. For reliable customer service do not use the USPS. .

No PO will ever pick up the phone. EVER! Stand in line like everybody else. You should know by now that YOU are not special like mommy told you.

Completely agree with below. Why even list a phone number. No one picks up, even during business hours. I've even tried random extensions. I wish people wouldn't ship things with USPS - worst package delivery!

Along with the other reviews on here, it is frustrating that they don't pick up their phone. I have tried multiple times to make the required appointment over the phone to apply for a passport, but now answer. If an appointment is required and needs to be made over the phone, then they need a better system or someone who will actually pick up the phone.
