Do not answer phone, rings until it busies out and hangs up. Mailbox problem - key won't work for package delivery box. Cannot reach anyone and delivery is in delivery box which I am unable to access. Arcona.

Mailman is doing bad! Fifth or sixth request getting worse! I live at 967 w Trindle Road in the trailer park. Mailman gets all lots wrong! He does not pay attention always on phone screaming. Drives over the speed limit of 5 mph. He is ver rude, unprofessional and doesn’t know how to do his job!

This Post Office was a high-quality office but not anymore. Mail is consistently delivered late and does not forward mail. The mail has been delivered at 8:44 p.m. last night. Mail has been delivered at 2:30 a.m., 10 a.m., and 10:30 p.m. in the past 9 months, Christmas cards came in February. I get mail for people that don't live at my address. This has been a disaster. This place needs to be re-educated about how to do the job correctly.

"The Postal Service is an essential government service, ".....however appalling incompetence and apathy may interfere with providing that service. UPS, FedEx, DHL - all better choices if you want it delivered.

We have a tenant here’s named Josie that keeps going to mailbox’s at 2,3 am in the morning. The way her drivers side window is positioned looks like she’s in other peoples mailboxes. We have cameras and proof . We have missing mail a lot . There is also video of here digging in the trash searching through garbage.

27 December 2020. I am trying to figure out what is going on with my package. I understand we have the Covid-19 issue and it is a busy time, but my package has been listed on the USPS Tracking webpage as "Out for Delivery" for 7 days.

Tracking number 9400136895239205317049 never once was a mail truck down this street today. Delivery was to be made by 5pm since it left post office at 7:10am. Never seen the mailman go through mail has been shotty at best here on Green St. I get a text message stating that there was no access for delivery. It IS A FREAKING HOUSE! What you want to do walk in and hand it to me?! For Pete’s sake! But supposedly this was the attempt status posted at 9:21pm. After having multiple delays it right here at the local post office and still can’t make it on time. Just one reason why I do not deliver via USPS. So much for the mail must go through. Such a lazy lazy group of postal carriers these days.

9400109205568169750300 was delivered to wrong mail box. In the past 3 weeks my mail is delivered to my neighbors and my neighbors' mail is going to my mail box. Box mail boxes are clearing marked with our names. I have lived here for 6 years. I understand an occasional errors. Different carriers etc. However, this is happening 4 times or more a month. Please look into this issue and resolve it. Thank you.

What is happening with the mail? Yesterday I received , both my Sept. AND Oct. statements from TWO separate store credit card companies. I had NEVER received the Sept. one for either one, before yesterday, so as a result, both had accrued late fees! Had to call them both and explain, and straightened it out, but where is the mail? How could that have happened? Not trusting that any mail gets anywhere right now.

Just LOLing at all these reviews lamenting that they never answer the phone. Well hey I *did* have someone answer the phone and my mail is even more lost now than it was before!!! You’re better off not even talking to these clowns. I assure you, it’s easier on your blood pressure. I know they have a lot lot lot lot lot going on right now but this location has always been sloppy and the coronavirus situation has just thrown gasoline on their many issues.

Does anyone know if the listed phone number is accurate? I have called six times since 8:30 this morning and let it ring over 20 times each time to no avail. It is imperative I speak to someone regarding a delivery today but maybe no one is working today. 717-697-4641 is the number I have been trying.

Service to Woods Drive is so sad. Yesterday I was supposed to have a Amazon Prime package delivered. Never arrived and when tracking package progress found that it was delivered at 1:36 PM. Maybe so, but not to the correct address. No idea where it may be. Tried calling the post office for several hours, after their supposed start time, and no one answered. One of those call, let it ring until your disconnected deals, and re-dial. Tried for 2 and a half hours. Time to privatize!

Deliveries on Cocklin and Allison streets are all screwed up. I live on Cocklin Street. LAST WEEK one of our packages was delivered to the same address number on Allison Avenue. The SAME MISTAKE was made again today. LAST WEEK I had to hand carry a letter to my my neighbor because it was mistakenly delivered to us. ALL THESE WERE ADDRESSED CORRECTLY !!! Please taken action to fix this MAJOR problem !!! ALSO...answer the damn phones !!!

Complaint, we are not getting our mail. For the last three days, 11/6,7,8th. Talked to three neighbors in our area and they haven’t either. We live on E Coover St. went and spoke to the post office and no reasonable answer was given. That you don’t have any mail, you are kidding me No Flyers! We always get junk mail. Our neighbor next door had mail to be picked up n still there at 6:30pm. Guess what we got mail tonight 11/8? Total of 13 pieces of mail with flyers, don’t tell me the mailman was delivering every day!? We used to have a great postman, now we get our mail at 5:30, or 6:00, or 7:00. Wondering why? Need help hire!

the service you now give is horrible! i have a registered package that you are getting ready to return to sender. you state this is the last attempt. NO ONE CAME TO MY DOOR TO GET MY SIGNATURE FOR THIS REGISTERED PARCEL. no attempt was correctly made by your employee. inside this parcel is medication. if I do not get this parcel in time i will start withdrawal. all because you have someone running this route who does not know what they are doing. this is totally unacceptable!!!!

What's up with mail delivery in Indian Creek? We used to get our mail between 1 and 2:30 every day. The last 4-5 months, it's been after 5:00 PM. Today, it was 6:45 PM. I won't believe it's because there's been an increase in the amount of mail to be delivered ... there's far less than even 5 years ago. Missing Greg and Bill ... best mailmen ever.

Agree with all the posts. Our experience is if you do get someone to answer, it is upper management and they are totally indifferent. The only requirement is mail is delivered between 8 am and 8 pm. The latest trends are we don’t get just pieces of your neighbors mail but all their mail. Saturday mail is now Sunday deliveries. This Saturday, mail was delivered AFTER 8 pm. We’ve had at least 3 different mail trucks on our street and still get mail after 8 pm. With the salary these mail carriers receive, you’d think they would be more competent. Evidentially costumer service is not a priority at Mechanicsburg Post Office.

This is the worst PO to try to get a hold of someone to ask a question. My mail person apparently is on vacation I figured that out because I am getting my neighbors mail and people who haven't lived at this address for 25 years, to top it off yesterday I got 2 amazon packages for someone who A. I don't know B. Not at our address. C. I just wonder how much of my mail is being misdelivered by the amount of misdelivered mail I received this week.

I am out of town and have a hold mail order on file. I got an email notification that a driver tried to deliver a pack, but did not leave it at the front door fortunately. HOWEVER, we will not be home for days. This package should have gone to our 'hold mail' collection you are keeping. I have called the PO number 10 times & have let it ring until it disconnects itself. Very, very unhappy.

My call was transferred to the operator. Tried multiple times with one of the following results each time: Phone kept ringing or I was cut off or got a busy signal. So much for customer service and yet the cost of mail services increases!

I live on gettysburg pike and I’m wondering if there’s a problem with the mail service. If we do get mail, it’s between 7pm and 9pm. Some days we just get nothing at all and then the next day my mail box is stuffed full. Definitely not a 6 day a week service anymore. Is or poor mailman over worked? Has more then one run? Or just doesn’t care? What’s going on USPS!?!

We have the same mail carrier. We are are business on Gettysburg Pike. Our original carrier is out right now, we currently have substitute carriers. One issue we have run into is the current mail delivery person constantly mixes up the mail. I have tried putting the mail back in the mail box to only have it redelivered incorrectly. Ultimately I end up delivering it. ? From time to time we do large mailings and our normal carrier would stop in and pick up flats when requested. The new carrier will not stop for the flats. I was told by the Mechanicsburg post office supervisor that they are not required to do so. I would have to either take the 7 flats in and stand in line or I could put the mail in the outer blue box. If anyone know anything about these blue mail boxes , you only get about an inch opening. I have 3,000 envelopes being mailed which would take forever to get them in the box not to mention it would stuff the box completely full. I really do not want to stuff the box, it would be an unsightly job for the carrier to unload it. Not saving time or money for anyone involved. I guess we now get to pay more in postage and and get less customer service costing everyone more in the end. Mr. Post office. I do not have the resources to deliver these flats to you. My vehicle can not fit 7 full flats nor do I have the time to run them in two by two to stand in line to deliver them to you. You have the vehicle and it would take 5 minutes flat for you to stop. Isn't that supposed to be included in my first class stamp price? .50 X 3000= $1500

My key no longer works in my outdoor mailbox. I live in Mechanicsburg, PA in a condominium complex. No one answers the phone at the post office when I try to report. I have medication in the mailbox that I can't retrieve. I'm very frustrated!

I live in Walden. Our mail service has been unpredictable at best. Our mail comes anytime between 4 pm and after 10 pm. Five days a week we get 1 piece of mail and then a great deal of mail every now and then. We also get a lot of mail that is not ours. I truly worry about whether we are getting all our mail. Either the rural route carrier is over-worked or incompetent. Something needs to be done about this situation. I drive to the New Kingston P.O. so I don't have to deal with the people in Mechanicsburg. One customer service worker is totally rude and obnoxious. Nothing has been done about this and everybody knows who this woman is. It seems that everyone in our group has complained to someone about this situation. Is no one listening???? Or will incompetency keep being rewarded?
