I am so tired of my VA check being late. It happens enough that it has now become a concern. Per the VA Dept all checks went out on time. I need an answer to this ASAP

We had a good csrrier for a few years, but in the last few months they have changed and service went downhill. Packages left at address with no number and right number wrong name, Left note in mailbox to pick up package at house and no show, Packages crammed into le to get out.mail box so it is almost impossible to get out!!!! Pitiful.

Wish I had read these reviews before I sent a package! I shipped a box of Christmas gifts to my kids and grandchildren; payed $48.55. Tracking says "Your item was delivered to a parcel locker at 12:08 pm on December 18, 2021 in Lake Wales, FL 33859." My kids have not received the box or a locker notice.

Package was supposed to be delivered.They said they tried but the business was closed.Either they are liars or real stupid because the address is a residence and they left no note.I put the address in my GPS and it leads me right to the door.

I have ordered 3 large bulk items that the P.O. supposedly delivered "in or at my mailbox" in the last few months _ 2 in July and one 9/13 of this year. I received none of them. This is terrible because I have the tracking numbers but no product. These items were a crafting table, craft cupboard, and ice maker. I received 2 boxes from Walmart but they were delivered to my neighbor who brought them to me this week. What is wrong with our postal service?

I have been trying to call the Lake Wales office for the past 3 days with nobody answering the phone. Wanted to file a complaint. My mail carrier will hold my mail for days....how do I know this because I get delivery notification each morning as to what will be coming to me. In the last week and a half there have been two pieces if mail addressed to my son that was never delivered. This problem needs to be resolved immediately.

Service is way below par. Vast room for improvement. I am a retired letter carrier it is so sad what has become of the PO.

Heard a car door close. Walked out front and saw 2 boxes out by the open gate 10 ft from the road. There was no sign saying "Steal Me" but the location of the boxes suggested it. I have pictures but this review site won't allow me attach them. Our service is not up to the "Neither wind, rain sleet or snow shall stop us from our appointed rounds" (or something close to that). Our service has gone in the dumps over the past 2 years. Many times there are 2-4 of the same fliers in my box. I know rural carriers are paid by the piece but this is ridiculous. I hope someone who speaks English reads this?

Did change of address and three weeks later we get an email that an IRS letter was sent and in the old mailbox. We were in Michigan. Called the PO, worthless! Called the park we were in and they contacted the mail person that delivered mail and he said he would take it back to PO and forward. It’s been more than two weeks and nothing. Postal Service? These need to be forwarded to the postal workers.

Mail carrier left a message in mail box I had a pkg with postage due of 6.95. I put postage due in envelope, with message next morning which was on 4/16/21. She picked it up that day. I assumed she would return with pkg on Friday, 4/17/21. As of this date 4/28/21 I have not rec pkg. Tried to call Post Office no one would answer the phone. Please advise were my pkg is. Barbara Brewer Fox, 3012 Mark Lane, 33898-8317 [number removed] Thank you.

Good afternoon ~ I am writing this time as I normally have to TRY TO CALL (no one answers) or come up to the post office to speak with someone. It is now 3:45 in the afternoon and AGAIN our carrier has not come by yet AGAIN. We have important boxes/mail to get out and it's been in our box outside since 8:30 am this morning. Usually when the carrier doesn't show up by now, I have to bring our mail/boxes to the post office (you close at 4:00) the next morning, making our shipments even later. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE!! Why do I need to leave my office to get to the post office before you close, because the carrier hasn't shown up? The excuse every time is the same, "driveway blocked." We have cameras inside to view our outside driveway as well as my secretary watching daily for the carrier. Just as last week, and several several times in the last few months, our drive HAS NOT BEEN BLOCKED with our items remaining to sit in the box outside. THIS IS AN OLD EXCUSE and is enough. We have no deliveries and/or pickups on these particular days that are claimed to be blocked. I received some mail last week that had the verbiage "drive blocked 4/10/21" on it, which is a Saturday. We don't work weekends. Maybe because the carrier did not pick up from us that Friday 4/9/21 (because again, I had to bring our items in) did he stop on a Saturday. I'M SURE YOU ARE GETTING TIRED, AS I AM, OF ME HAVING TO COME UP THERE COMPLAINING. So here we are again, and it's 4:00. NO CARRIER. I cannot leave my office to get my items up there before you close. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! And NO ONE answers the Phone to try to get any assistance.

My package was delivered to the wrong place. The tracking shows that it was given to a reception area when I live in a single family home. I have been unable to reach anyone at this post office.

Address 14712 Camp Mack Rd. I seems we have 3 different PO Personnel delivering to this route. May be they are relatives. My neighbor has a Coded Gate but there is a side entrance on my property for easy access. Packages are being left out side of her gate even I have informed them that they can enter through this side gate. It is no further to walk then from her front door. It is less if they drive into my yard. These packages are fully visible from the road and if I didn't move them to her door they could be easily stolen. I have also had the front of my mail box torn off because it and the other 3 there are sometimes not closed properly and the rear of the jeep window hits it when moving to the next box. Our delivery service has suffered since Sharon retired. I don't care If you disclose this to our presents carriers I don't think the service can get much worse. FedEx, UPS and DSL use the side gate. If you need photographic proof of this I can take them.

Address 14712 Camp Mack Road On 08/22/2020 two packages and mail were stuffed in the mail box and it was so fill that the door would not stay shut and the mail got wet from rain. Today I was outside of the house pressure washing when the Mail Person left the mail. I was wjth in site of the road and I am sure she looked at me as she drove off. When I went out to get the mail I had a notice the a letter that required signature could not be delivered. I am throwing the BS flag on that statement. Next I tried to call the LW PO, so you could turn her around and deliver the envelope, and no one would answer. You should remove that number from the website

I'm a Vet with PTSD moving to Lake Wales Off Grid and rented a P.O. box on line for 40$ /3 Months. Called and told will give me an address and hold mail, Than told would not do that. So I can not provide a forwarding address... I receive a great deal of Medication from the VA and one comes in a box marked Perishable, ( Two injection needles.) In the event I did not arrive the date hoped ,Wanted to insure my medication could be delivered with address . The Mail personnel are the ruddiest jerks I have come across, Will not give me an address P.O. to forward my medication , told to wait until I get there . Hope I'm able to retrieve my funds and use a UPS store very helpful. I would not trust my medication being delivered there and also would not contact me if my VA perishable marked on the box was delivered . And I was willing to give all for this treatment from a Government employee . There needs to be a reckoning with the Post master . He is not a nice person and needs to find a job away from people.
