I ordered an IHOP gift certificate for which I paid $30. I got a receipt that it was mailed (U.S. Mail) and I never received it. My mailbox is part of a structure of 16 boxes. My guess is that it was placed in another mailbox and the recipient decided to keep it. I am out $30. I have received other people's mail several times and delivered it to the correct address myself. I do not trust the United States Postal Service.

On Wednesday, 8/10/22 I went into the Columbia. Post office to mail a letter. I walked up to the counter. The postal worker was in the process of telling somebody she was going on a break turned her back to me and walked out the door as another worker was walking in. A man walked in as she was walking out and she said I told you I was going on break. She proceeded to tell him I am going on a break for 30 minutes. I have never been treated so rudely in my life by the US post office. I was dumbfounded is I was just left standing there. I don’t know why he decided to help the person after me and not me. If it were racially motivated I don’t know. I said to him as I walked up after the woman in front of me was done with him that I was appalled that she walked away from me when I walked up to the counter. I said I work hard also I know how tiring it is and how unappreciated we feel sometimes but that was just so rude to me. There is a lack of kindness in that Post office and I am tired of it

Held mail not delivered as hold mail record shows it should have been. Instead tracking parcels held state I'm (paralyzed veteran) supposed to pick up mail myself. Many repeated attempts to phone post office at 410-381-4373 results in phone ringing and ringing - no one ever answers.

A package containing medications was sent to my daughter address even though my correct address was underneath the label. Also the mail that I did not received last week for 5 days had yellow sitters on it saying unable to deliver. Some packages were sent back and I had to pay extra to get them sent again. I guess that is how you get more money from customers.

My mail carrier just tossed my mail on my drive way and drove off without care of what's inside the box. I understand it's a lot of work but it's also a job that need to be done with care and respect for other people property. Are the mail carriers suppose to wear uniform because this lady had on a pink PJ and don't look official to me. Please do the job right...

Our mail carrier is too lazy to get out of their truck, they had a certified letter needing a signature, there are 5 cars at our house , meaning 5 out of 6 people are home. This has been a recurring problem---- no attempt to come up to the door.

The postoffice "ladies" are amazing at the Little Patuxent Pkwy location! They are nice and helpful (and fast) which is soooo different from the staff at the main Columbia Post Office (rude/scary)! I'll gladly wait in a line at the Patuxent location over going to the main Columbia office. There are numerous parking spaces in the garage which is a very short walk for those who aren't against adding a minute or two to their visit - all worth it as I said - staff are helpful and nice.

Your postal workers are doing a great job under a lot of pressure and I can see how a busy workload may cause a driver to go go over the speed limit if he is a little late. I was walking my dog on High Hay at 2pm today (Nov 19) when a postal van came up the street very fast. He may be new to our route and not know there is a 25mph speed limit. We have a lot of dog walkers in our community and would appreciate your making him aware of the speed limit.

Your mail carrier has been very lax with how mail is being delivered for weeks now. Either it gets delivered to neighbors or it's not delivered for days. My medication was delivered to my neighbor! The carrier tends to be on her phone as she puts mail in the slots! No wonder the mail is delivered incorrectly!

The only issue I have had is not receiving packages-with that being said the staff at the Columbia location have always taken this very seriously and diligently look into the problem. I've never had any issues with anyone being rude to me, they are all very sweet and nice.

I am not here to complain but I do have a concern.about our mailbox. We live on Brandywine Way Columbia, Maryland 21046. See the two pictures. The mailbox is standing on one leg. It won’t last long any longer. I am not able to show you those two pictures. Darn it. Thank you

I am very displeased with this Post Office. I mailed 3 pop-up type cards at this location for Valentines Day. I had to pay extra postage for each one (and extra for each card at the store), and I mailed them together at the EXACT moment! They were supposed to go to the same address to my family. Only 2 of the 3 arrived. I do not understand how or why the 3rd card did not arrive (considering everything on it was correct, and exactly like the other 2). The missing one was for my granddaughter. She felt slighted, and was VERY disappointed! I find this very upsetting! Did someone steal it, or is this Post Office just incompetent? I have lost tremendous faith in this Post Office.

Mail that is in the box and pushed to the front (easy to see) is not being picked up on Wild Wing Way in Columbia for the past two days. July 20, 21, 2018. The 1 800 number doesn't give us any help.

I tried to send a book of childrens learning cards (Brainquest) via media mail and I was told NO! I wasn't offered alternatives, so I went to the self-serve. Normally, the employees are very nice and helpful, but not this one! Media mail definition: You can send books, videotapes, DVDs, CDs, printed music and other sound recordings through Media Mail as long as they weigh less than 70 pounds.

I am still in hel- because of the Columbia MD Oak Hall Lane USPS. First I went into my USPS account online and had put hold my mail will pickup. Confirmed and confirmation #. Went to pick pickup 10 days later NO MAIL HELD AT ALL!!!! I asked where was it delivered??? Love this I DON't KNOW!!!! Told them they need to locate where it went and get it back. Only Bank statements, credit card statement & so on. Oh let's not forget my SSDI CHECK!!!! Made it clear to hold all mail!!!!! I will pick up in person. Want it listed ID required & check exp. date. Went back again they handed me 3 pieces of junk mail. I get more mail then that in 1 day. I asked where is all my mail. This is junk mail. Where is mr check. New one sent. No business mail at all. They said this is all we have. Where is the rest of it????? Gee guess I DON't know!!!!!!!!!!!! I said well find out. What postal carrier is delivering my mail? Said they can't do that. BS!!!!!! I know for a fact they can. Wanted the boss not some pion. Well he's busy!!!!! I don't care I want you to call him. They flat out refused!!!! Called main office. Filed report!!!! Nothing!!!!! I'm looking into law suit. The damage that has been done &!time & expenses are unreal!!!! Months later still doing damage control. They don't care at all!!!! I want to move from Columbia just because of USPS.

Ordered mailbox key a week ago. Paid $40 for it and it's been more then 2 weeks and still have not received the keys. I called 3 times to check if it's in and each time, failure. I have very important real estate documents that I am waiting on, so the urgency is great to have access to my mailbox. I just found out that all my mail are still going to the old house. Who is managing this post office?
