Never answers the phone, repeatedly messes up deliveries that require an in person visit to wait in the 45 minute lines, at which point they can't even be bothered to find the mail that they've managed to lose in their own facility. Hands down the worst post office I've ever experienced. I've filed multiple complaints through the customer support line over the course of years but they just continue to be terrible at their jobs with no improvement.

I am trying to change my address online in Gainesville, Florida. However the application gets to the credit card information, does not ask for cc number or code, and never completes. How can I change my address online?

I live at 320 SE 7th St, Gainesville 32601. Way too often my mail is delivered to 320 NE 7th St. I would like to request that supervisors train their carriers to distinguish between an S and an N and to pay attention to that difference on their customers’ mail. I just picked up yet another package delivered to the wrong address.

Your mailman for 1233 NW 10th Ave told the escorts to yell louder because there were prayer people outside and they should drown them out with noise. I did not think that while working as an agent for the government they were suppose to express their political views. Carol Cullen

If you're trying to call and reach someone at this location or any USPS location you can forget about it. they just sit there and let the phone ring at EVERY LOCATION. This is inexcusable, the USPS is by far the worst organization I have ever dealt with that would long been out of business if it wasn't run by the Gov't. Absolute garbage!!! I would say do better but I know better. piss poor doesn't even begin to describe their service.

I was sent a package that was supposed to be delivered today (9/2) and after tacking it said it had been returned due to an insufficient address??? The address that I had put in is accurate and comes up on maps so i’m not sure what’s wrong with that? Also after trying to get in contact with the post office it was no help as they don’t answer:(

This office never answers the phone, I have had multiple packages not delivered for reasons that were just flat out lies. The carrier doesn't deliver and then just makes up a reason

Also, I put Demetrius Davis request in along with all mail from 1007 N. E. 23rd Street to be delivered to 2503 N.E. 11th Place along with Beverly Craig, Robert Craig, Tamela Craig, Jacquan Craig, Nyaja Craig, Robert Rodriquez, Demetrius Davis, Shontae Daniels, Glenn Green in care of Beverly Craig and Obadiah Dillard. Mail has been continuously been delivered at 1007 N. E. 23rd Street although I tequested that mail be delivered at 2503 on 03-09-2021. What is going on with the postal service? Why would you keep delivering mail to an address where a person no longer live? This has caused an extreme hardship for all parties involved because of negligence of this post office and their employees.

The Postman does not deliver mail for days at a time on SE 20th Avenue. I have not received my Sam's statement for three months. I called Sam's today to inquire about it and was told that the Postman wrote on the statement "address not found"... shaking my head. I have lived here, AT THE SAME ADDRESS for 30 years. Please know that doing your job, is a part of your job. Have a great day!

So I had made the mistake of assuming you can get packages sent to Usps as a pick up spot, not even knowing my dad was sending a valuable package via ups. Anyways I learned that packages get sent to sender when sent to Usps on Main Street. However the ups showed me someone signed at desk, and my package is Mia. I just want to k ow if there was tracking. I can accommodate all info. Sorry for burden. Pl email me ASAP

I never received my package from Saks fifth avenue that was supposedly delivered on Thursday 10/15/2020 at 7:27pm at night. Funny thing is our entire complex at the Paddock Club had not received mail for 4 days so how is it that the mail man mysteriously came to deliver just my package and we still didn't get mail until Friday Night. This is poor customer service at it's finest and I guess someone is enjoying my package but certainly not myself. So how many other packages have been "LOST"!! I sent an email of course but what will be done. Nothing. This is unbelievable

What is it? GROUND HOG DAY movie at the USPS between JAX, FL & GVL, FL. My certified was mailed 6/11/2020 11:54am @ SW 34th St., GVL. 6/11/2020 9:23pm arrived JAX distribution center; 6/11/2020 10:45pm departed Jax; 6/13/2020 10:58pm arrived GVL distribution center; 6/15/2020 10:22am arrived GVL facility 32601 6/16/2020 9:21am arrived GVL unit 32601 6/16/2020 9:22am departed GVL facility 32601 6/18/2020 6:46pm arrived JAX distribution center; 6/19/2020 7:35pm arrived GVL distribution center; 6/21/2020 In transit 6/22/2020 In transit 6/22/2020 11:26pm arrived JAX distribution center; currently "In transit" 6/23/2020. I've been waiting, for the 4th time, for over an hour to speak with an AGENT in Customer Care Center. They won't talk to GVL or JAX where my certified letter has gone through the machines I don't know how many times. USPS has been paid to do a job and they aren't even trying. Machines don't get COVID-19! Can someone help? I've tried almost everything I know.

I've been calling the number listed and unable to get through. A package was claimed to had been delivered to my home today 5/22/20 at 2:43pm. It says that it was signed off for but we were home and no one approached our door for a signature. The package was never delivered. If you can please check with the driver regarding my package, I would greatly appreciate it.

Same experience as others. Item tracking reveals "Item in system, en route to next facility...which would be Gainesville. Has displayed this same message since April 04. Was assigned a case number...no further contact. Received an email about a survey regarding the resolution of my case...which has not been resolved to date. I am very unsatisfied. Item was first class and insured but still no contact or assistance.

Waiting for delivery of honey bees, priority mail, tracking does not tell where they are, it said they were suppose to be here before 8 PM last night (3-23) now it says "Your package is moving within the USPS network and is on track to be delivered to its final destination. It is currently in transit to the next facility." What does that mean, where are my bees (very fragile) and why won't anyone answer the phone at the local post office???

No one answers the phone! I have called and e-mailed for a week and no one ever answers me back. You all closed a case and said you spoke to me, BS, no one has called or e-mailed me back. I am either out $50 for my package or it's contents at this point.

I was eagerly tracking my package and knew it was arriving on 11/12/19. I was home all day waiting but at 7:38 pm I received a message stating it was undeliverable. What does that mean? Thank you Marion Wiltrout

This office does not answer the phone. I've been calling every day for 1 week and NO ANSWER. Worst service ever. The government should just shut down USPS all together they are useless. UPS, FedEx or Amazon are the way to go!

Tracking number 9361 2896 7309 0364 5753 06. Address 4316 NW 38th St, 32606. Once again a package that was too large to fit into our mail box (1/2 mile from our house) was left yesterday in open view of 39th Ave, below our mail box in the rain. The package was soaked and destroyed and the merchandise ruined. This is a recurring problem and one that I have repeatedly reported. The Postal drivers know that if a package will not fit into our box, it has to be driven to our house. We have had packages that were left outside the mail box stolen in the past. Please advise that this recurring issue will be strongly addressed and rectified.

I live 7/10ths of a mile off of Waldo Road and was told by my mail person that he is not obligated to deliver my packages past 1/2 mile. Recently I have developed a health condition that limits my driving ability so cannot drive to the Post office . Does anyone know if what I was told about the distance is legal ? Any solutions ? Thanks
