USPS

Ok, my second attempt w. this PO.
My package was posted "attempted delivery" which I had not known until I got the sender's email w. the tracking number which stated a NOTE was left. There was NO note! (they claimed it blew away...seriously? from INSIDE my mail box?)
I called the NHP-PO and they directed me immediately to the Lake Success office who scratched their heads wondering why I bothered them and told me to call back the NHP post office.
Needless to say, what they say about postal workers are true. Slow as molasses, and one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. Irregardless, after some hemming and hawing, they decided to be REAL nice and HELP me out. Thanks mail people!
Brings me back to the time I waited in line for 1/2 hour with ONE person in front of me only to get to the front of the line and they put up an "OUT TO LUNCH" sign. I had no choice but to stand there and watch the peanut gallery behind the counter run back and forth (doing what IDK) for 45 minutes until they were "ready" to assist me.
The new incident hasn't change my perspective.

They mark package on tracking system as delivered when they are not. Probably the worst run post office on the island.

New Hyde Park USPS is beyond atrocious; every interaction I have had with ANY employee there has been disgraceful. I spend $55,000 - $60,000 in shipping through the USPS. The employees at the New Hyde Park, NY post office on Second Street continually try to intimidate me to not drop off my packages there anymore. On several occasions, they have told me to take my shipments elsewhere. One can only postulate that they wish to do the least amount of work possible in order to get their salary. I find the attitude of these USPS employees to be reprehensible.

The reason why USPS has to keep raising rates is to compete with other shipping companies. Perhaps, if their employees behaved better and were concerned with providing customer service, as the USPS did 30 years ago, maybe more people would use them as a shipping and mailing service again. What, sincerely, has gone wrong here?

What I do know is that New Hyde Park, NY USPS is horrendous and the employees should be ashamed. I know that I, personally, and embarrassed for each and every one of them.

Would give 0 stars if possible. Mail is chronically delivered late. Ongoing problem- and when you call the carrier center to ask for assistance, they seem bothered to have to look into anything. My latest problem is a package that's been "out for delivery" for almost 2 weeks. After 50+ calls to the carrier center, I finally got someone to help me try and locate it, only to tell me she couldn't find it. And what can I do about it? Nothing! When I try to call the post master, he's "unavailable". I'd send him a letter if I thought he'd get it. I'm going to try to contact Consumer Affairs.

I would have given them ZERO stars but that wasn't an option. Package delivered, To whom ! Certainly not to me. To think, when calling hoping for someone to help only resulted in one lie after another. A perfect example of how well this Government agency really cares about its customers. Eventually the Residents of New Hyde Park are going to demand an investigation if it hasn't been done so already.
