January 8, 2024 completed and returned to front window a change of address for my business. Was informed to make sure no mail can be delivered and all mail will be forwarded to new address. I posted a large sign at old address to notify everyone where the new address is now located. Large enough to read from street much less standing at door. I have received very little mail since my change of address. Have called but no answer and no voicemail. No email except for the 30 dollars to change online. This is totally unacceptable. I have a business to run. I’m not like USPS where I can get federal funding because of terrible management and lazy employees. Amazed this organization raised its postage rates; however they made up for us with awful customer service. This organization needs to be privatized; you work by merit. Absolutely incredible Star rating should be negative 15

This Post office is absolutely useless. We had a package stuck their in transit for a month when the entire time it just needed to go out to the Customer. We spoke with the manager and the Customer spoke with the manager telling them to go ahead and deliver this package but instead they are returning it to us. This is going to cost us more time and money to then turn around and reship the package to the Customer.There's absolutely no excuses for this kind of incompetence. We will be black listing this Post Office from now on and they should be ashamed. Poor pitiful Customer Service.

No one is answering the phone. There is no voicemail option. Have been trying to find and have held mail forwarded mail from August 23rd. Prayers for overworked and collection agencies to be forgiving🙏🏻

There has been a problem on the Riverside Ave route. I have at least 4 pieces of first class mail that I did not receive in Sept. including my mortgage bill, bank statement for my business account and at least 2 checks from Highmark insurance. Those checks represent business income and will be problematic to replace. How do I make a formal complaint or investigate what happened to my mail. Some days, we get no mail. Several times it did not arrive until after 9 pm. Please contact me.

Just wanted to let all of people know that I live in Willow Street. My little post office, along with my poor mailman has never missed a day. My mailman was added more streets and mailboxes since this covid crap began and never misses a beat! Hooray for Willow Street postal system.

I was supposed to receive my package today!! Tracking shows it was scanned in at Lancaster PA USPS 17604 and has never left. I contacted customer service and they confirmed that I was to get my package today. They gave me the direct # to the post office and the # to the supervisor, and no matter how many times you try and call no one answers and all the voice mail boxes are full. Very frustrated with Lancaster PA USPS 17604.

Kathy Bowers, Hello,Hope you are doing fine.I would like to answer your question as far as what's going on with the mail service. I took a parcel,(envelope to FedEx the lady behind the counter told me that several other customers that came in to use their service,stated that they took packages to the postal service, and were turned away. The reason for that is,the postal service is short staff at the present time. I'm also waiting for a box of stuff from my daughter,she sent it to me before Christmas. I wonder if we can file a claim on this type of issue.Bonnie Mentzer

Im not sure whats going on in pa at the post office but i had 2,000 feet in 6 separate packages delivered there on the 8th it then said it was in transit on the 12th but thats the last tracking update and its now the 23rd. 11 days with no updates on a priority package is unacceptable especially when it should have been here in 6 days from when it shipped on the 6th. I get my money back either way but the seller i bought it from is about to be out over 100$. But he's just going to file a insurance claim and get his money back. My suggestion would be to deliver my packages before you own all 6. How would you lose 6 giant boxes of bubble wrap anyway. That would take some extreme retardedness and a lot of planning to accidentally lose that. 99,% of usps employees are totally incompetent and this is the result. Absolutely ridiculous!!!!!

We have gotten mail every day since we’ve been living at this address 17 years ago. But starting a week ago we seem to be only getting our mail delivered every other day. I don’t know if they changed how the post office supposed to be delivering mail but one day we get absolutely nothing. The next day we get a pile of mail. then the next day we get absolutely nothing and the day after that we get a whole slew of mail. So it appears that for some reason they are holding our mail only delivering it every other day. I would like an explanation if there is a reasonable one as to why our mail is being held every other day. I get important mail delivered every day for my business, so holding mail is very upsetting to me and I’d like it to be corrected or explained.

Apparently I'm not the only one having issues with this post office. My package has been stuck here since December 8th with no movement since. It's been 10 days! And I was upgraded to priority shipping from the company who sent my package. I understand it's an unprecedented year, but this is ridiculous. What is going on?

I am concerned with the delay of mail locally. My mail in ballot was mailed on Oct. 23 & I have yet to receive it. From Lancaster PA to Lancaster PA is that acceptable? Mail has also been delivered much later within the past 2 weeks. Normally for 15 months mail arrived around noon & now it is after 6 PM even to 8 PM. What is the issue with that? A federal judge recently required all boxes & sorters to be reinstalled and the Post Office to be efficiently operating. That is not the case in Lancaster via Harrisburg Post Offices according to my experience as a citizen. This is voter suppression clear and simple. I would appreciate a response.

Have a package sitting at the Lancaster, Pa Post Office since October 1st (which October 1st was the date it was to be delivered to me) and it haven't had any movement what so ever, since that date. It's impossible to speak with anyone at that office because the voicemail to the business line is full. What kinda &$#+ is that? The package's destination is Baltimore, Md. I could've driven there myself and gotten it faster. Is this the normal operation for this location?! Unbelievable 😡!!!!

Yes Rhonda, Lancaster PA. is extremely messed up in many ways! I'd appreciate it if you might e-mail me. I'm being viciously attacked right now by a child molester lover! Richard James Dougherty who I have to report but in Lancaster they don't do anything about the worst crimes in the world child molestation! He claims that I masterbated my oldest son? Well CALL THE COPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This man is an evil horrible person!

I picked up my package from the post office on Harrisburg pike in lancaster. The box that said "fragile" all over it was smashed. Everything in the box ruined. Can't get in contact with any customer service.

I’ve been pleased with how my mail was coming in. I’ve ordered online for a few items and one of my packages was ripped open and stolen. If anyone can offer some type of help that would be nice. My bag was ripped open in two spots and left in the door of my house. I do not know if our mail person or someone else stole my item.

Overall, I am very pleased with my home mail and package delivery. But I do have a small issue I think could be improved. Sometimes when a package is delivered, the delivery person leaves it on my doorstep, right in front of the door, making it almost impossible to open the door from inside my house. Most times they leave it beside the step, out of the way of the door. So, if they could leave it beside the step all of the time, your service would be perfect. Thank you for your consideration.
