I haven't received some of my mail, and frequently get mail addressed to my neighbors. Not getting my own mail has caused some issues which compound my already stressed financial situation. Getting my neighbor's mail creates issues for them as well as myself. Why is it so difficult for the carrier in my area to get addresses correct? Is the carrier incompetent? It's easy! Look at and match the numbers! I'm not understanding how it is so difficult for this person. Numbers are easy to comprehend! It's BASIC!

Our Mail pick up is in a building that has access from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. This is inconvenient at best. For others it means vital medications are delivered. For any resident that works days, they have access to their mail only on days off. Worse, the mail delivery person has us late in the delivery route. . An example is Thursday, January 27, 2020 the mail delivery was done at 4:55pm. Management locks building doors allowing access to mail promptly 5:00pm. There are 250 units with people whose access is denied. What can be done to allow access to their Mail in a timely manner. Personally my medications are delivered to my Mail box. This week I was unable to pick up my meds in my mail box. Thank you for your kind consideration and anticipated solution to our limited Mail access.

This is the fourth time our Neighborhood mail boxes have been looted. This time they pried the doors open instead of twisting the locks. This box is old and out dated. The VPD can’t or won’t do anything. The UPS will not upgrade the box even though tweakers have destroyed it. They will not let us move it off the street into a better lit area as we are on a dead end and that would help. Any advice would help.

On July 19 my seller dropped off a Facebook Marketplace prepaid package.But when it arrived to my post office it had a $59.05 postage due. How could it be accepted with a prepaid label & yet go out with a postage due? Doesn't it have to be weighed & scanned upon arrival at your post office? Neither one of us should have to pay the $59.05 or another $59.05 to return it to her, especially since it's already here & I paid for the plastic tarp to go under doggie pee pads. Please help us resolve this before the August 7, 2021 return date! Carrie Lynd 517-731-1452 9400111202575480197482

The mail truck just left the boxes on NE 96th Ave./ NE 106th St. The doors were all left open and filled with mail and packages. I closed all the doors to secure people’s mail. This is highly concerning. Please address. I could not get the outgoing mail boxes closed because they need a key. There was mail in one of them. I hope no one tampers with anything before you can get someone out there to secure them

My son and I have the same first and last names. We have middle initials for our address. Plus my son is not a Jr. Since my son moved and he went to the post office and filled out the proper address changes. He now gets majority of my mail. I complained at the Caples office and the clerk didn't understand what we needed due to a language conflict. So now my son gets my important mail. He received my mail in ballot. How do I get this fixed!.

our mail hasn't come in 2 days. I'm not sure why, but we don't have our important mail coming in. Also, it would be nice to have your drivers trained to know that we have a lip on the side of our mail box. So just because it fits on your side, doesn't mean it fits on ours. So push on it to make sure it goes out the other side. I'm freaking tired of having to cut my boxes open just to take the product out. Then proceed to rip and tear everything in there to get my my crap out. It's ridiculous. My mailbox is constantly so overstuffed that I can't get my stuff out of it, sometimes can't open it without a struggle because the lock is blocked, and my stuff is being damaged because of this. It isnt that hard to explain we have something preventing us on our side from pulling out big packages.

Our mail box was not secured after delivery today, Monday, September 28, 2020. It is wide open and needs to be secured immediately! We live on Bassel Road, at theWest end.

The post office workers need to be more watchful when they sort our mails. For the last two months I often get the wrong mails....this is means that my mails possible went to wrong address and I will have them never. I live on 1515 Date St., Apt. B, but I found in my mailBox correspondence for Apartments: 1511B, 1511C, 1516B, 1515D........ a big disappointment

For some reason, the postmaster feels he has the liberty to deliver my mail and others in our building for 1314 Kauffman Ave, Vancouver, WA 98660 - to the building next door. Under NO circumstances, unless it's an over-sized parcel, signed for and with a notification to the recipient, shall any mail carrier give a stack of mail for the entire building, comprised of several businesses to anybody that is not the authorized signer for that business. That is illegal. I have been waiting on checks for over a month, thanks to this behavior. Not acceptable! This is illegal. Troy is not an authorized signer for my business. I will not accept mail left for Summer Brown - this is wrong! Stop this action immediately!

My carrier has decided not to deliver my mail and left a note saying something about trimming a bush, but I don' t know what she is referring to. She made no attempt to contact me. I am home all the time. I'm am expecting very important prescriptions today. She is threatening my health over some minor misunderstanding. They got to be better than this.

I spent 20 fruitless minutes trying to contact a live person at this Post Office to try to report a multi-unit mailbox on NE 53rd St which was either accidentally unsecured by the mail carrier or had been opened by someone trying to rob the mail boxes. The phone system just transferred me to a beeping / busy number. The end result is that I could not report this to your or any other USPO due to your phone system which clearly is not designed for this sort of breach of security which eventually does happen. You need to design and rollout a system which addresses the needs of your clients.

I normally go to the PO with packages, but only had 3 small ones today. I put the flag up on our clearly visible and unblocked mailbox and just discovered at 8:50 PM that the flag is still up and packages did not get picked up. I guess we didn't have any mail so she drove right by! Truman neighborhood. Very disgusted!

Complete garbage I've been trying to call for the past 3 hours because one of you mail ladies completely skipped our apartment complex on Saturday when my husband's check was supposed to come in. The roads were completely clear at that point and the snow was melted. I'm over here with no food no pet food no toilet paper. I'm so disappointed and to top it off you all won't answer. Called customer service and filed a complaint though cause at least someone decided to answer. Don't even bother people. Ok

These people are beyond pathetic. Just spent 30 minutes trying to access them by phone, you are immediately cut off. Nobody is home. My girlfriend will now have to spend the best part of 3 hours tomorrow to travel from Portland to Vancouver to try to retrieve her package, which the Vancouverites failed to deliver. It's almost as if the VPO is trying to prove that government employees can't do anything right. A bunch of headless nails; if they were all privatised in the morning, I doubt they'd last a month without starving.

Package mailed in usps mailer on Feb 7 was not received so sender tracked and was told it was delivered to front porch. There are 4 secure locked boxes for packages at postal kiosk so why was package left at front door and locked boxes not used. There are 7 of them but 3 of the seven have been missing doors for some months. Now the package is lost or stolen. A note should have been left to pick up package at post office.

Lazy Postal worker did not leave my cats two prescriptions through the door slot as they had over the past 2 years. My cat Pandora died in horrible pain due to her not receiving the prescriptions I paid over 78.00 for! I still do not have my cats medications. No attempt to redeliver them to my address 70- W. 31st Street 98660 was Ever made again. Instead I happen to receive a Bank statement for neighbor and MEDICAL records on another neighbor during this time. Oh how nice of the lazy postal worker to deliver sensitive financial and medical information to my house while she failed to deliver my cats medications.

Horrible customer service! I have been trying since the middle of October to find out when our vandalized community mailbox will be fixed or replaced. It is totally beat up, rusty, and 25 yrs old. It is beyond repair. The only response I get when I go to the main post office once a week to pick up my mail is excuses about how busy the postal service is responding to Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico. I'm pretty sure the maintenance people from here are not going to those areas and there are probably community mailboxes sitting in a warehouse here. They have take my name and phone number while promising me that the supervisor will call me back that day. That never happened. I have also sent emails with no response. Tried to go into the actual office and the door was locked. Getting very tired going to the post office 1-3 times a week to pick up my mail. Frustrated with no response.

Priority Express Mail Sucks. EL597236439US says it was delivered at 10:07 AM 05/16/17. We were on the porch waiting and it was not delivered. So who is lying? Vancouver PO is really screwed up if they lie about on time and correct delivery.

1. I have been trying to get a package re-delivered, via the online re-delivery site, for 4 days now. I set up a request each day, but my package has not been re-delivered. The mail truck just drives right on by. I am beyond frustrated. This is ridiculous! Doesn't this post office check the re-delivery website??? So I have been trying to call their number to find out what is going on, and it rings and rings, then I get a busy signal. Guess they don't answer their phone, either.

Who is responsible for postal counter employees? Their behavior? and upholding policies and procedures? code of conduct and professional behavior? I will say that everyone seems to be adhering to a standard, but I am finding difficulty with passport counselor as they are not trained or their training needs to be seriously addressed. Who is responsible? what is the chain of command?

Unlike Thomas Moats I had a rather pleasant experience at my local post office. I had ordered a product from a company and it had been shipped by Fedex who dumped it off at the local post office where I have a po box the parcel was sent to my home address which since I had a po box they would normaly return it to the company were it was ordered from labeled unable to deliver to this address. I called my local po and asked them if there was anything that they could do to help me and I was told that they would do all they could to intercept the package and hold it for me to be picked up at the post office. I believe that they went way beyond the norm to help. Thank you USPS for your concern and help.

When I went to pick up a registered letter along with other mail this AM I waited in line until the window opened at 07:30 hours. As I was moving toward the window, the man inside told me to " STEP ASIDE, i HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THESE PEOPLE FIRST", THEY ARE BUSINESSES WHOM SPEND A LOT OF MONEY HERE ", so after being admonished by him I left to come back later. When I returned no one was in the post office but myself so I rang the bell, as I was waiting for the worker to return a women walked in the door and stood behind me. As the worker returned I asked if I needed to step aside and he said yes. I suggested that instead of being so rude to people that he needed to have some signage that indicates what he expects people to do to follow his directions so they will not wait only to be denied there mail until he felt they were worthy enough to pick it up.
