Hello. I have a situation and I am trying to send an email to message this personally but it’s quite difficult for me. I am from Japan and I send a care package to now an ex-bf that lives in Summerville SC. I want to stop the delivery or hold it. The package has my home address on it and when we broke up he threatened me about knowing my address and I don’t know what he will do. He does has friends here in japan. Please send me a link to email you so I can explain more. I just need for the package to be hold and not get delivered to him.

Our mail carry is stuffing oversized boxes in our mailbox and it takes two people to get them out by that time they are ripped. This has happed twice and all the carry needs to do is leave it on porch or garage. It mixing up the mailbox also . Never had this problem for 30. Yrs last month it started . I understand it’s hot and also some people have dogs out but we don’t . All I ask is be kind deliver my mail with care instead of stuffing it all in a small box . 29486 please and thank you . My box yesterday was ripped and holes where it was cramped in box , I can’t imagine other people who are old and alone trying to get their stuff out . My box also had fragile which should had meant be careful , the box was ripped and smashed into my mailbox .

Carrier did not deliver package to address. Said there was “no address” Wrong. Either stupid, lazy, lying, or all of these. Now cannot trace package which was supposed to be returned to me.

I read a lot of the reviews, and I must say that none of that has ever happened to me, and sometimes the real cause of a situation is communications. I remember when I was young we had three police now the force is like 135. You could do the numbers relative to that and see at the post office is one busy place and I don’t think it’s going to change anytime soon. I know these GREAT employees Are inundated with business and overwhelmed probably every day but I have always got excellent service and results. I deal with Don and Keith and they are the glue that holds this organization together. They are always working fast and always with a smile and always say what can I help you with next never trying to get rid of you. I-cannot get Don or Keith everyday but when I get a different employee I find them Great too. I can understand why the phones are not answered on time but I would do just like it’s being accomplished. I think some of those criticism I read is unwarranted and boils down to what I said, communication. Summerville post office fits my needs and I credit the postmaster for that!

Why is no one answering the phone on Gum Street? I have called four times in the past 18 hours. I have an issue with a package that employees will not deliver because I have a dog in the front yard - who is on an electric collar and cannot come to the front door where packages should be delivered. I can’t sit on my front porch all day waiting for a post office delivery and since no one answers the phone there, what exactly am I supposed to do at this point? If I drive up there to wait in line and try to speak to someone face to face, I may miss another attempt at delivering the package. This is unacceptable.

I'm not happy with them.My package for josh coleman who lives in Summerville was delivered to them and now they don't know where it is.I think they should be asking the delivery people about it.Somebody had to take it out of the building so my son and family will not get Christmas from me.

The first incident the key given to us in our box wouldn't work in the community box for the neighborhood, so I didn't force it and called the post office. We were told to have my husband wait outside to catch the person delivering mail to get our package....fine. Now someone has broken a key off into THE SAME community mailbox (I already reported was faulty) in the North Creek Village part of Nexton and now two weeks have passed... I have called and spoken with an employee at least twice. On 02/10/2020 The Summerville post office on Gum Street told me that the employee delivering mail would bring it to my house so I waited all day for someone on 02/11/2020, waste of time and I should not have believed it in the first place. To top it off someone else in the neighborhood was being a kind person and wrote a note on the mailbox stating that the key was broken into the mailbox. I'm sorry to to be an inconvenience but it's post office's job to not only notice a key broken off into the mailbox and not to stick more mail into the same box but also to deliver the packages/fix the problem. Please just free my puppy's toys, this is just ridiculous.

My wife and I just learned, after noticing that certain bills had not been paid, that there was a theft of the mail drop-off box at the post office in early November. To my knowledge, there was no public acknowledgement of the this theft! Now we are on the hook for over $100 in cancelled checks in order to reissue our payments.

I have never experienced such horrible service! I placed an online order and not only did they not deliver my package, they left it at the post office and never notified me it was there. I had re-order my goods. This time, it says it was delivered and it wasn't! I tried calling the 1-800 number only to have a recording tell me there was a 2 1/2 hour wait for a representative. Yes 2 1/2 hours! I called the local number and kept getting a busy signal with the message (user busy). I called a few hours later at 2:30 and got a message stating I was hearing the message because it was outside of the normal business hours, which were just stated as 9:00am-4:30pm. "Press '0' for the secretary" same message as above. Then I tried filing a formal issue on the website only to get to the last page asking me to click on a link, which I did and guess what? The link is broken! Due to the post office being 30 minutes away, I would have to take off of work to drive up there and probably be told some BS about why people cant do their jobs? I work too! That is why I ordered online to have my stuff delivered! My husband ordered something from a different retailer and his has also not arrived! Oh and I moved and tried to add a forwarding address, after filling everything out online, I entered my CC number to pay the $1.05 fee and it said the address for my card didn't match up! Yes it does! I tripled checked on the site and called my bank. I check the old house for my mail as well. Every single vendor I have worked with had no problem switching our address, and getting services I pay for taken care of, why can't you?

Summerville mail carriers ,specifically the ones who service White Gables are the most inept I have ever dealt with. I keep getting other people's mail. I Leave it in the box with return to sender or no longer at this a dress, it never gets picked up.I have been to the local post office twice. I The first time I went I filled out a slip that showed only names of the people in pur household.We still got others mail. And the routine continued.I saw the mail person in my neighbor hood and told her of concern she said it was her. I go back to the post office and saw another post master and was told I could throw away anything that said presorted. So I would sort the mail and omg it was a person's credit card. Again the mail that did not say presented nut with someone else's name still gets left in my mail box and never picked up.I mentioned it again to the mail carrier in neighorhood and she said they would get it, not that she would. I thought mail carriers had to take a test and had to know how to read.

I presently have the worst mail carrier I have ever had. I’m furious. Just this week 10-9-2018 to 10-13-2018 I have had mail delivered to the wrong address on my street. On Tuesday 10-9-2018 the carrier delivered a package to the wrong address but fortunately my neighbor brought it to us. Yesterday I was notified that a package I was expecting was delivered to my front porch. Funny because we were sitting on the front porch when the carrier came by. She put mail in our box but never delivered a package to our porch! At this time I don’t know who my package was delivered to. How about hiring someone that does her job good! My address is 122 Hartin Blvd. 29486

Ms. Hall: It is dangerous to publicly post your name and home address online. Just a friendly warning.
